Agreed! I have a '98 Sprint Executive (Trophy rear end with a '97 Sprint front) and I enjoy it quite a bit. Even the Concours guys (GTX1000 for you EU folks) liked the Trophy, except for the chain drive.
I noticed nothing new for the Rocket III except an 'adjustable backrest' in the accessories department and some BNG (Bold New Graphics/Colors).
Maybe they're holding out for the dealer show. There was talk of the 1500 twin and a new RIII 'Road King'. We can only hope they are...

Would expect more after the dealer show. In particular a RIII tour edition with hard bags if nothing else. Find it hard to believe they would otherwise drop the tour model.

An update Trophy would be awesome. Maybe in 2009 if the "Hurricane" rumors are true. Will have to wait in see.

Great New Colors!

I love the new orange color on the Speed Triple, but am not crazy about the new wheel design - looks like a flower:



The new orange and silver Scrambler is cool:



The new claret and silver paint scheme on the Bonneville T100 looks awesome and a lot like the 1970 Bonneville T120R.



I hope these new colors are coming the the USA too.

Rather disappointing no big cruiser and no 1000 cc Daytona.

I do like the pacific blue on the Sprint and Rocket.

And no 1300 cc Hurricane sport-tourer or 675cc Tiger Cub.

But just because no new 2008 models other than the Street Triple are being shown at this time doesn't mean we won't see additional models, or that one or two early release 2009 models won't come out next year. It takes years to develop new bikes and some of the rumors get started years before the new bikes hit the showrooms.

I too am anxious to see some new models soon, but I'm really liking what has been announced already (except for the new wheels on the Speed Triple, of course).
