Speak for yourself on that one John as I for one would love to have a shaftie 
sport-tourer.  Even though it was a little top heavy a shaft would have made my 
'95 Trophy 3 a keeper to me.  I've been considering an FJR1300 for some time now 
to get the performance, comfort and mile-eating low (no?) maintenance shaft 
drive but haven't been willing to go up the additional 100 or so pounds to get 
there.

I think a Trophy aimed at the FJR, hopefully lighter, and a smaller 675-800 ST 
would make for the perfect garage.  BMW looks to have the spread just about 
right, and after articles like this one get more attention maybe Triumph will 
take a look at how that line up is done:

It's the first day of Spring, the battery tenders are tired of humming, and 
Mother Nature had the nerve to snow on us last night after all that rain dumped 
on us here in central Ohio.  Puh-lease let's have some riding weather!
