Big Triumph cruiser nearly ready for lift-off

[Zookey]

A local dealer tells me they should be around the $23K mark. It will be interesting; Triumph's first venture into belt drives. I've got 10 months to convince my new bride that I really need this bike.

High Tiger man thought this pic might be of interest,as my new Speedmaster was an American export model complete with gel passenger seat and sissy bar ,oil and temp gauges front pipes crash bars,it has the W.904 motor,and guess what belt drive,Pic is not very good tho.ps Only down side is the miles per hour speedo.

I can appreciate what Hinkley are doing by reviving the brand and i do think they are doing a great job of producing a range to cover just about everyone. I just cant get my head round the names. I mean a T100 Bonneville? The T100 was a 500 for crist sake.
Good to see the name still around though (even if they got the logo wrong!) Meriden (proper ) triumph owner now ducking for cover.

It's a device to say that we are the same - but different.

Same with the logo - they own the rights to all of the variants - same but different is that massage as well.

Yeah i understand all that Dave,just saying i cant make it sit right on my tongue. Im really not one of those old is best guys. On topic anything the Hinkley boys do to keep the name alive is good by me. A bike that gives the harleys a run is even better.

T100 in the new world means Triumph 100, meaning that model was first released in the year in which Triumph marked it's 100 year anniversary, 2002.

I read that on the net, so it must be true.

And in the old world means Tiger 100.

I read in a mag in Whitcoulls at lunch that it will be released in USA as a 2010 model so they expect the beast later this year. 85 hp and 100+ torque thingys.
