[thepom]

whats all this shit about? where,s the bike? the link does,nt work?......

[wysper]

I think that is the point. They are trying to build anticipation... it is a short step from there to frustration and then on to i-dont-give-a-fuck-ation. Bloody marketers

[GPS MAN]

I could get interested.........

[Ocean1]

Give us a mid sized <150kg twin dirt bike and I'll be first in line.

Yup, the shear quantity of picki'n it up I indulge in makes weight a serious bummer.

But that looks dissapointingly like a 17" front wheel?...

from there to frustration and then on to i-dont-give-a-fuck-ation.

It worked for me - I'll come back to this thread when it gets to page 4,and see if someone has posted a picture by then.

Best pics so far Paul.

Two versions are planned, so I wouldn't read too much into spy pics yet. ie wheel sizes etc.
Sub 200kg from a triple cyl dualie is a realistic ask.
90+hp with bulk torque would be my request.
light single track and gravel with long days in the saddle will be it's domain probably. All speculation, BUT, (in the best Dr Frankenstein's voice)



It's ALIVE!

This updated video has me excited.

21" front wheel is always good.

It'd have to be pretty outstanding for me to transfer my lightweight-multi-cyl-adv-bike lust away from the Superenduro though.

Cheers

Could be a good 'un.....

[Cary]

Be nice to see a tiger with some claws instead of the last lame offerring!!

Oh yeah, race ya!!

[Monstaman]

Probably going to be another fat heavy pig that is more of a styling exercise than a true adv steed. Already too many in that market. Give us a mid sized <150kg twin dirt bike and I'll be first in line.

With the Supersizeme Tenererererererere at 260kg they must be able to do better than that.

Dropped into Trevor Pierce yesterday in Chch, sat on the Tenere, low seat height wasn't bad but I broke a floor tile when I lifted it onto the centre stand

[warewolf]

I broke a floor tile

Is that a euphemism?

[Monstaman]

Is that a euphemism?

Nup .. just what happened.

Poor tile .... laid its life down, it was only trying to cement a good relationship

[Devil]

I wanna see it!

Damn you Triumph, give us details!

Supposedly this email was sent out to various media outlets just before the various spy photo's appeared.

Dealer Launch Briefing - Triumph's New Adventure Products

July 2010

A number of "spy photographs" has leaked and the following statement to
key international media ahead of the switch on of a new Adventure micro
site......

"These exclusive spy pictures show Triumph's new adventure bikes being
filmed last week for an upcoming website promo. The shots, scooped inside
a secure testing facility, show two distinctively different models being
filmed: the orange bike being ridden up and down and off road trail while
the black bike stayed on the handling and high speed courses.
A Triumph spokesperson refused to say any more than: 'We can confirm that
Triumph will be entering the adventure bike sector soon with two all-new
models. We are currently entering the final development stages of the new
bikes and everyone involved in the projects is very excited about how
things are going.'
We understand from an insider that Triumph is set to launch a new website
imminently for the new bikes. He confirmed that Triumph has registered the
domain name www.triumph-adventure.com and that the site was due to go live
'very, very soon.' "

The Opportunity

• The Adventure segment represents a significant new business
opportunity for your dealership and for Triumph. In most markets this
segment is growing and attracting bike buyers from other segments. It is
also a sector with high "add on" sales of clothing and accessories.

• The segment is dominated by the BMW GS series and models from Honda
and others - we need to directly conquest these customers to Triumph
starting with our two new 2011 Adventure models which complement the
existing more 'touring biased' Tiger 1050.

• BMW have dominated the segment for many years and are now synonymous
with "adventure" so we have to earn this business with great products,
marketing and an outstanding dealer sales and after care process.

• This initial briefing gives you an understanding of what Triumph
will be doing and what you need to do at dealer level.

What will the new Triumph's deliver?

There are two all new Triumph adventure bikes coming soon - they score on
all counts: especially on specification, durability/reliability; on and
off road performance, handling and comfort and will come with a full range
of accessories and clothing too.

Launch Campaign

• Triumph's two new adventure bikes are under embargo until November
2nd 2010.

• Specific detailed product information will be released on the site
(and with further 'scoops' to the press) against a tightly managed
schedule in this period - for example the model names, engine sizes etc.

• This micro site will run through to November 2nd with monthly
content updates, gradually releasing more information on the two new bikes
and related products.

• All interested prospects should be encouraged to sign up on the new
micro site.

• Prospects who "sign up" will be automatically sent updates each
month until November in their preferred languages*.

• The micro site itself will be given fresh video and content during
the first week of each month through to November 2nd.

• In the first week of November all signed up prospects will be
transferred to the main site where they will be progressed to e-brochure
download, can seek out their local dealer for a test ride** and will be
prompted to visit their local or preferred dealer.

Check out the first Adventure video - available from your Subsidiary or on
line at www.triumph-adventure.com very soon.

Good luck!
