    Needs a snarling set of teeth under the headlights.

    Here ya go - these are the type of lights I expected to see on a update.

    I still think Triumph should employ me on a suitably fat salary to design limited edition factory specials.

    It's good to have goals in life.

    Everyone who has one probably doesn't like the new design. Those who would never buy the existing "dated" design now have a japanese looking british bike they would like to buy.

    Sorry - but looks too Gladius to me with the tank and headlights. I second the smaller round high intensity headlights as a better option.

    I reckon it looks great and like a rider only machine. Nice in black.
    Here for the ride.

    Mabey they should have optional tick box where you can get new or old bug eyes?

    Note that when mini did this (aka custom your own mini mirrors) - their sales shotup.
    The TNT was a nice looker. I think the poor sales were due to the fact a journo said that if it started in the morning it was cause for celebration.
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    Hmmmm same here.... again the headlights look like an after thought and unfinished idea.... make them more compact like a Buell twin setup or go single like the Ducati monster or streetfighter lights.
    And those indicators, move them up on to the front forks etc... is this a trailer needing maker lights, the new streamlined speedtriple?? they have just added width!

    Sort the headlight and move the indicators.... now we are talking about a sleek machine, yes a nice bike to personalize and make one of a kind.

    The S3 isnt for me. Too "run of the mill" in looks.

    I sat on a mate's Triumph America . always had old Triumphs and liked the look of them .. I hated this one .. feet forward and higher bars .. really uncomfortable feeling and I'd hate to take it on the road .. A Thruxton is on my wish list for the Lotto win .. but I couldn't imagine any of the feet forward models ..
