Unfortunately, It doesn't look any better than the last time I saw it.

Yep, it's big but not for me either. But then I don't really care for the rocket either. Maybe when I get old...der.

I rode next to a Victory 8 ball that had been modded a bit, pipes etc. There are a lot of aftermarket go-fast parts for them. I'd take that Victory over this ...................... anyday.

It looks gorgeous, I bet it can be thrown round corners with ease

Ya never know what she'll look like when it hits the street. It seems to be a very large engine cramed in a rigged up frame. Be patient. Triumph has made some great bikes, this may be one of the.

I'm with you Brooksie. This thing currently looks like a test mule. However, based on the styling of more recent bikes (675 Street Triple, 1050 Tiger, etc) I imagine they'll put a real effort into styling. It will probably be a larger bike than I'd want, but for those folks buying big metric twins like the Honda 1300 and 1800, and others from Yamaha, Kaw and Suz, this offers an alternate choice in engine configurations.

I'm willing to wait and see what Bloor and Company do with this bike.
