Red dress.....Red dress....Red dress.

They coulda done better. [evil]

Of course the feed started out with the English audio muted, the the audio went out, then the broadcast started buffering.

Reminds me of my SBK.

Not ONE year have they managed to stream this without problems  [bang]

So, the pretty brunette lady just informed us that the new Scrambler 1100, has mor torque and power. Gee thanks honey.

No issues on their YouTube channel.

It isn't that interesting. ;D

Anyone else think the decals on the fender/fork protectors is too much?

Also...I guess we no longer fit the Monster demographic. [laugh]

I agree, and yes we no longer fit the demographic for the Monster. Well the ‘new’ one that is. We certainly fit the real monster.  ;)

Because we, and the real/old Monster are well...old. [thumbsup]

Yup

True, even myself, a relative young fella is in the strong gravitational pull of 50!

Eh, whatchagonnado????

Man, that Panigale Special is make the beast with two backsing gorgeous.  [drool]

I'm guessing the price of the V4 Special will be in the high $20k to low $30k range. That means we will see a lot of old rich guys dropping them in the parking lot of Starbucks and very few ever being ridden like they were meant to be ridden or at least trying to ride them that way!  [laugh]

Pretty sweet piece of kit for sure.

Starts at $19k for the regular model.

Maybe we should start a Triumph Thruxton board?

The 1100 Scrambler is well, very old style Monster and closer to it than the new Monsters which are part Diavel part Streetfighter imo.

An hour and a half video?!

Although I have to admit the pics for the 1100 scrambler make it sound tasty.

 ;D

FWIW, my son sold his super tricked-out PSE for a healthy profit prior to a big move three years ago. Killed him to do it..., but... Needed the $$$.

Shortly after the R was released and I went looking out of curiosity, he rode his dealer's personal R for a weekend and bought a silver PSE replacement. Not apples to apples exactly, but he's quite satisfied. Fitted the fairing as soon as the kits were available + a comfort seat. Better 200-mile bike overall, no problems and cheap to run/maintain.

You don't have to sell me too hard on the Thruxton R. That is definitely on my short list.

exactly but old is beautiful too, minus a wrinkle or two.

I love my Ducs but I must say the press release was horrible and I'm not marketing genius.  I guess VW's marketing budget shriveled.
