All new tourer from Triumph. If I'm not mistaken this will be their first shaft driven bike.

I'd rock it. 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.

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.
