They confirmed Street Triple, may be a seller...though looks too much like S3.
What will be the next new model? I think S3 will get only some kind of facelift + new colours. The big 'Bonnie' with 2 cylinders, some kind of cross-over classic & cruiser.
There were some MCN spy shots years ago.

I suspect the street triple will be a lot of fun, though I am personally too big for it. Don't know anything else, but it's fun to speculate. A 1050 Daytona, the big Bonnie, etc. Personally, I would like a non-cruiser naked Rocket. :-D

If it was up to me I would go with a scaled down version of the Rocket (scaled down in size but not in power.) I would like a Rocket that doesn't feel like you're bf-ing an elephant when ever you ride it. My idea of an awesome cruiser would be the S3 or Daytona engine in a cruiser ride. But, being that Triumph doesn't not listen to my opinions I suspect the "big bonnie" and the new Daytona liter bike will be the next to explode on to the scene. Those are only my guesses.

There are MCN "spy shots" every year.

Every year they make four or five new guesses about what those shots actually mean to the Triumph product line. Roughly half of those guesses are pure fantasy/wish-fulfillment dreams, and the other half are logical extrapolations of what pretty much everyone already thinks would be a logical step for the company.

About one in ever four or five of those predictions comes true, and most folks conveniently forget the rest, so they can re-use those that fizzled the next year with new a new batch of spy shots. Nice gig.

you can look at the big daytona from a couple of angles , but seeing that they grabbed a hold of the 600 market like they did , its safe to say they are going to make a big tona , when theres no telling though.

i would love a "modern Classic" that was in fact a moderned classic

basically a full standard speedy

If I hadta guess, I'd say 1200 cruiser on accounta for most folks, the Rocket is just too big, the America/Speedmaster (a great bike, btw) is too small.

I'd love to see a liter + Daytona, but I don't think Triumph is real keen on getting into that whole superbike ratrace.

Agree with you on both parts...love to see one, but they're not eager to do it. They've stated that pretty clearly since before the end of the Daytona 955 production.
