Looks like Triumph's introducing something in the UK on Oct 19. Might be new Street Triples, but I'm hoping for the new Bonnevilles. So far only the UK social media pages are posting stuff. Here's their instagram post.

Hoping for the Bonnie variants. They've already put out pics and a press release about the new Street Triples. Seems odd to announce them and then wait 3-4 weeks to reveal them. On the other hand, this date is right before EICMA, so it would be cool to release them, then show them off at EICMA.

"Brutal" to me means Rocket 3.... with Guy Martin about to (hopefully) get a land speed record with a double-R3 beast are Triumph going to to capitalise on this? Or why spend so much dosh?

But a hot scrambler Thruxton 1200 with high bars and alloy wheels would be nice...all this McQueen image stuff Triumph have been pushing and yet we all know what the man would have done with a 1200 Thrux!

Not seeing a lot of bobber love on this forum for whatever reason. I think it's going to be great, and If I haven't purchased a Street Twin by then (which I'm in the process of making happen), I may be very tempted by the bobber.
It's a love it or hate it aesthetic I guess. I consider all my motorcycles to be single occupancy vehicles, so I have no issue with a single seat bike.
I think the real make it or break it issue on this bike is going to be how well they integrated the rear mono-shock on a bike that is traditionally a hardtail. Based on how well designed all these new 2017's are I'm guessing they knocked it out of the ball park on the bobber as well.
I, for one, am excited.
