Re: [St] Triumphs

["Kevin Dicks" <kdicks@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Up until recently I had never seen a Rocket on the road.  One evening, at a
local biker hangout (Moto Market for those that know it) a friend of mine
turned up on his new (to him) Rocket and shortly after ANOTHER one turned
up.  Weird :)

Glad to hear of the news down under regarding the gaining popularity of
Triumphs.

I really think triumph are going places....if ONLY they would re-enter the
ADV/DS market....your comment about the American market driving the upcoming
models is perhaps WHY we don't see any Triumph ADV/DS type models.  While
gaining in popularity over here, we still don't get the models that, say,
Europe does.

Oh well...we can but dream.

Not sure about a two cylinder version, but I believe there are plans to make

a bigger version of the Rocket. Like it needs a bigger motor...? The Speed 
Master/America is getting a make over and there are a bunch of things
planned for 
the 675 mill, including something to rival the KTM 990.

A lot of the bikie (biker?) gangs, clubs, groups in the land of Oz are 
ditching their Harleys and getting on Rockets. Triumphs are getting real
street 
cred.

Some things worth noting are that the USA is now somewhere in the realm of 
25% of Triumph sales worldwide and Triumph has a very large dept dedicated
to 
researching what owners and potential owners want from their bikes. So our 
American cousins are in the box seat to have a real influence on what
Hinkley 
produces. Also remember that Triumph has at least three new models in
development 
at any time.
