I don't know if these are in dealers showrooms yet? But I got to see
& sit on one at Laguna back in July. I was just extremely excited about it.
It seemed like a perfect motorcycle for many things. Sport Touring, no.
But to zip around town, or quick 50 - 100 mile trips...perfect. I don't know
if you guys have done any extended riding on a non-faired bike after being
accustomed to a fully faired bike like our ST's, I'm sure most of you have,
and the things wear you out with that wind working you over constantly.
Wind fatigue notwithstanding I'd love to put one of those new Street 
Triples in the
garage. Thought it looked superb in white, thought the new Tiger looked great
in white. But I like white bikes. Matter of personal taste & I know most folks
probably do not. I am not a Industry insider but seems to me like Triumph
should sell all they can make of those Street Triples. But they probably won't
since it seems everybody wants a cruiser or a sport bike, neither of which is
worth a s*)^ at a very wide variety of things at all (extremely 
narrowly focused) whereas this new Triumph would
IMO excel at many things plus sip fuel and be cheap to insure. The fun factor
just has to be through the damn roof on this thing. I gotta get a demo on one.
