Then again, I'm a fan of big, ugly, shaft driven bikes :) IMO, touring bikes are not meant to be pretty. Touring bikes are functional and should be nothing more than the most robust of parts that can handle a few hundred thousand miles of road hell.

Given that its a tourer, not even a sport-tourer, the heft is no big deal. Look, the Trophy is going up against the K1300/1600 & Gold Wing, and none of those bikes are light weights. Title: Re: 2012 Triumph Trophy Post by: DucSeason on January 22, 2011, 10:29:20 AM I like the looks of it. A triple motor with "at least 1200 cc" would have to be a rockin' good time. I'm a little surprised at this move, given the recent revisions for the touring version of the Sprint, but what the hey. I can't wait to see one in person.
