1500 Cruiser pics

Friends you may wish to visit :-
http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/Ne...uiserspyshots/

they are meaningless shots but there is story and if you go to the news section of the site and click on the promo for the 8th August isue there is a reasonable pic of the bike which you can enlarge......briefly! Looks like you are just weeks away! Any chance of a UK reader posting the article please? Thank you. Mike.

Not for nothing but that looks like the Rocket?
I've seen better shots of the Loch Ness Monster.

Was the photographer flying in coach or first class when he took those pictures?

Click on this link http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/Ne...8/?R=EPI-93339 then click on the MCN magazine picture. Blow it up and look to the bottom left. voila. A 1500 Triumph that looks like a decked out America.

I don't like that at all. Maybe because it is not air cooled....

From the looks, I think I like it. I like the Rocket III, but thought it was just too big, engine size, because of the insurance cost. I was looking at the Victory Hammer, and this is similar, and since I would prefer to have a Triumph(nothing wrong with Victories. They are a great bike, my friend has one) as the stable mate to the Daytona, this is what I would get.

Any idea on the price yet?

I figure it will be under the price of a Rocket III, but not by much.

Prettier than the rocket for sure, but radiators are so ugly! I hope it has 100hp and 85-90ft lbs, that would allow my eyes to squint around the water-cooler.

That looks decidedly like an America, I can't wait to see the Speedmaster version...that holds mucho potential.
