Rumor Mill Update?

Well, what do you think is cooking for the 2010 model year? We know the Daytona 675 has been tweaked and painted. Here are the latest romors I hear: Larger Sprint ST (or Trophy) with triple engine, USD suspension, radial brakes, new chassis. Tiger 675. Daytona 1000 packing 150 hp. 2011 Triumph to enter the high speed wars (not the mothballed A4, but a triple) with Busa, Kawi, BMW and the V4 Honda Blackbird. What have you guys heard?

I love rumors but almost universally they lead to disappointment. However, a Trophy with shaft drive would be awesome!

Any rumors for Sprint?

I'd really like to hear if they are doing anything to the Sprint this year. At a minimum, they should update the gauge cluster.

+1

What I've really wanted is a Trophy with modern technology. I'd even take a chain if they otherwise used updated items like computer controlled EFI. And keep the weight down compared to the other big sport tourers.

After all these years, I will only believe in the Tiger 675 when I see one at the dealer (and then I will buy it).

The new Trophy is coming, but it won't be 2010. As for other new models for 2010...don't hold your breath. The Daytona 1000? A bigger than 1000 sportbike? Both are similar to unicorns, jackalopes, and free healthcare.
