Hey Mick,

I saw your "wild speculation" re: the future Trophy someplace else on the website. Man I hope you are wrong!

A huge "sports tourer" in the Gold Wing mold would be a real let down.
Right now, Triumph only has the Sprint ST to keep the sports touring clientele happy and those triples are slowly getting phased-out.

Right now there are Duc's ST3s and 4s; Yama's FJR and BMW's K-RS and K-GT. Oh, and the Concours, of course. Triumph could easily compete here.

But then, I guess there's room in the Gold Wing/Road King market, too.

Looks like I might have an FJR in my future. . . Anyone interested in a 2002 Azure Blue Trophy???!!! :wink:

Agreed, I also have an Azure '02 Trophy that I dearly love. I hope any new version doesn't turn into a land yacht.

I think Triumph can be very competitive in this market and for my money they could keep banging out "02 versions of the Trophy and I'd just buy a new one after each wears out. :-D
