Shaft drive touring bike??

The new motorcyclist issue mentioned that Triumph was developing a shaft drive touring bike to compete with the kawi concours? I need a sport tourer to replace the tuono I presently use and this might be just the ticket, I've had a couple triumphs in the past.

Yeah I read that too. They said it would revive the Trophy! Man, that is the model I'm waiting for to share garage space with my Tiger. Hopefully they do it right...

Wonder if it'll be a bigger triple? Or resurrect a 4?
