This is the bike I've been waiting a long time for. I really hope it's worth the wait when it does appear. I might be tempted to open my wallet.

FWIW - The last year Triumph did the Cycle World IMS, I helped man the Triumph booth for a couple of days. One of the Triumph guys told me they knew there was a gap in their cruiser line between 900 and 2300cc's. He said it was logical to imagine that gap would be filled......

The link worked for me.

MCN is a sort of "sensationalist" information resource, but ya gotta have at least one in the bunch

Once in a while, they do publish stuff that is real.

Cool
Alan Cathcart said there would be a "MegaBonnie" variant. I would be up for that.

Here's the pic. Its from very long distance but it looks low in the saddle and appears to have the Rocket twin headlights on this version. The pipe seems to come out like a Bonnies in a classic parallel twin configuration. Cool!

Hey is there any talk of a possible standard Bonnie with the 1500cc engine or maybe even a Thruxtan? If they kept the weight down it could possibly give some of the other two cylinder sport bikes a good run for the money.IF they through it into a standard I would like to see it come with mag wheels as at least an option, or offer spokes as an option.Harley does that a lot on there bikes,the wheel options.Seems to make them money.
