it looks NOTHING like a 636.

I like the look of this Trumpy a lot, and given the configuration it seems to me to be the ideal mix between a big twin and a 600 sports bike. I imagine it'd be a bloody good track day bike and, for anyone with half a pint of ability, a bloody good contender at least in NZ class racing.

This is the sort of thing that could have me buying my next bike from WMC. Just gotta find out who the salesman might be.

there are several people on here that own them. You have shown them no respect.

Hey, not our fault if people buy ugly motorbikes, is it?

And why a 680 triple? Why not a 750 triple?

Supersport rules. 680cc triples can be raced in 600 Supersport.

Artists impression - with this brand has traditionally meant - 'not drawn or officially sanctioned by Triumph' - I do the brand's PR and ads locally and I don't get ANY secret squirrel stuff. They leak nothing until it's all set and when I get the marketing materials there is usually an embargo date.

With Rocket, Bonneville, Thruxton and others, the early 'news' and pictures have come from MCN and some of it hasn't been very accurate - some has.

This is a photoshopped guess for mine - probably.
