Lucky to get factory tour Hinkley and saw new trophy both during assembly and finished. Staff have been clocking up miles and speak glowingly (can one say that?). Anyway, it is way better looking than photos, more compact, and I want one...

I can't wait to see it at the motorcycle show. And you are right most photos are not representative of a bikes beauty or ugliness.

The new Trophy is the only bike that might get me off my 1050 Tiger. I can't wait to demo the bike, and I am prepared to stroke the check. I love what all the naysayers are saying about how it looks like a copy of the R1200RT. I see the resemblance, but it's not a RT. I believe it's going to be a better bike in all areas.

Having ridden an Explorer, I loved everything about it apart from the looks. With a completely new set of clothes, this might make it a fabulous machine and I'm looking forward to seeing it in real life.

It would have to be an absolutely amazing bike to part me with my current Triumphs though....

I hope the Trophy does it for me or I think I might go with the Ducati Multistrada as it has grown on me lately
