Not a very good spy shot but you can see it's a really big parallel twin. The price might put me of buying a new one. But I will be keen to pounce on one maybe next year or the one after.
I really think this bike will give the Harley a run for it's money in the States, at around the $7000usd mark. The yanks always get their bikes cheaper than anywhere else on the planet no matter the what make or model.
Anyway I really think Triumph have hit the jackpot with this machine. I personally think that it will outsell most cruiser models in NZ. But that of course depends on the price.
I say good on Triumph for stepping out of the square and not copycatting another bike. (unlike the Japs) By building a brand new power plant that's so different from any other bike on the planet.
Then of course I would say that being a Triunphnut. But there's no denying the fact that it's a first.
I will be interested to see what it looks like on the showroom floor. I think it will be a totally different bike as to what we saw a few moths ago when I posted a spy shot. If you were able financially, would you buy one if the price was under the 20k mark?
MCN REVEALS TRIUMPH'S BIG TWIN
These spy pictures reveal Triumph testing the almost-finished version of their parallel twin cruiser.
The motorcycle is believed to be between 1820 and 1920cc, which puts the motorcycle in line with other big cruisers from Harley Davidson and the Japanese manufacturers.
The twin is expected to fit between the Bonneville-based Speedmaster and the Rocket 3 in Triumph's range, with a price tag of roughly £9000.
