Triumph DS is happening

[805gregg]

Triumphs new 800cc 465 lb dual sport is comming soon. 95 hp, from that great triple engine.They didn't mention a price, but it's got to be cheaper than the over engineered BMW. Now we need Honda and Yamaha to answer and the duel sport market will be alive again. I'd love to see a 400 lb 800cc DS.

Yamaha has the Ténéré.

Honda has the XR650L, but not quite "Adventure" class.

SUPER tenere,,,, and honda could bring the africa twin, but what i would most like to see is the aprilia toureg, though they say if it does go into production it will get a new name.

I stand corrected on Yamaha.

And bringing back the Africa Twin would have me smiling at Honda again... But it would have to be majorly redesigned, since it's basically Honda's version of the V-Strom, which is probably the most street oriented DS/ADV bike out there right now.

heh,, i emphasized SUPER because i want the little tenere.

agreed on the AT,,, it used to be a much neater bike.
