This is a thread that has kind of been done to death already I think, but I'll say it again...
I am pretty sure that Triumph sees the Thruxton as the TBS' sucessor - We may not all agree because the bike is a twin but it's certainly got a very similar target audience and Triumph have pretty much said this several times.
Having said that I dont think they have totally closed the door on the idea of a new classic triple further down the line, but you might have to wait a while.
Personally I woudl very much like to see triumph bring soemthing out in the retro-muscle bike camp to compete with the likes of the ZRX1200R and the Hond CB1300 et al.
the trouble has been that Triumph don't seem to like the idea of technologically advanced retro - so detune the engines and put weedy brakes etc on the offerings.
Still, it gives me something to do over the winters eh?
