I like it better than that dark green one that was posted here a while back, which Triumph is suposed to be releasing as a limited edition.
Though I'm unsure about the Thruxton seat hump.
But at least it looks like it's more than just a paint job/design excercise, as they look like Thunderbike pipes (which means the cams could be in there too) & I can't see the AI hose.
So hopefully it's got a bit of Go.
& isn't all Show.

Don't get me wrong. I love my new Scram. But, really, how many buses would you feel comfortable jumping over with one?

Seen it!
Jack Lilley is one of my local Triumph dealers. I've seen it in the flesh and it does look good, better than the photos.. The paint job is top class and strangely the seat hump does fit the look well. The pipes are a compromise to the design. They wanted one of the pre production Arrow 2 into ones but even though they have good relations with Triumph they couldn't get one.

Good God.

Much as I love Triumphs and Evel Knievel, uh, well, don't they know that he rode Brand X?

Kinda of a neat bike.

As far as brand X goes Knievel rode Triumphs up till the late sixties and including the Caesar's Palace jump then switched to a lucrative deal from Harley.

Caesar's Palace Triumph
