    Please no. No more rocket three anythings. Whenever I see one I think 'lawyer' and 'small penis'.

    What a complete arse comment.
    I have some very solid mates with them and would gladly have one myself.
    They certainly have a LOT more class than a RVF400.

    I can't find the pics - they were scans from MCN anyway - perhaps a search there.

    It's for the yank market - full dresser with bags and fairings for africa.

    Looks all right - ground clearance for conditions here will be the issue.

    Oh. A crusier. *disappointment*. I thought you meant a proper tourer.

    Umm - sort of half way I fink. It's MCN and Triumph so there is a certain 'credibility gap'.

    I recently read an article about the full-dress model Triumph has released for the US market. It looked nice. Is that the same model you had in mind, Dave?

    I went huntin'.
    Neither of these pics is any more than artists whimsy I suspect - but they could be on the right track.
