Very nice. I assume those are "artistic predictions" and nothing quasi-official?

I think that's somone's photoshop job. There is something about the engine that doesn't look right. Take a look at the engine through the side fairing vent in the photo below and then compare it to the same area of the engine in the above pics. See anything different?

Also take a look at the position of the half-fairing compared to the full fairing below. The screen on the one below covers the top of the forks. Now look at the half-faired one.

Those pics have been on that site for over a year. I wanted one but it never happened. I am soooooo glad.

The photoshopped arse-end of those first images is ugly as hell. Why the hell would Triumph stuff the 1050 mufflers under the 675's tiny tail?! If anything, they should just leave the 675 alone and just strip off the fairing. The powerband and everything is perfect for the street, it just needs handlebars and no fairing. Leave the current undertail exhaust alone too. Stuffing huge heavy mufflers on a sub 400lb bike is just plain retarded.

Yeah, they know how to use the clone stamp tool in photoshop, but they have crappy taste artistically.
