OK

The older bikes are steamers.

The newer bikes (mine included) are called Girlies.

So what are we going to call the 1050.

Any suggestions !!!! :razz:

Why Steamers and why Girlies? If we knew how you all came up with those names might help us find a new one... Anybody know the reasoning behind these other names? Steamers and Girlies... Maybe combine the two? Hot Chick? :-D

looks a bit like a few Japanese bikes to me... the Japalike...

Japalike is good or maybe "nolongeratigeranymore" or "genericbikealike"

How about calling it the "Milly"
For 2 reasons
1. The roman numerals for 1050 is ML
2. Thoroughly modern?

OKCTriple

+1 :-D

Milly as a nicknmae has been used before- both MG and Aprilla have a Mille. How about something describing its new contour like... Wedgie? Or its new incarnation like...Roadie?

It may just name itself after being ridden. I'd get one but I feel lucky just to have caught up to the 21st Century although sometimes I wonder if Triumph put much effort into the Tigers after 03 when they started developing the new model. Still, it's a blast to ride.

I still like "Three Strom" :razz:

Since Triumph has abandoned all pretense of off road capabilities how about the

Roadie

Then we would have the

Steamers

Girlies

Roadies
