I had read about Triumph unveiling a new cruiser between the America and Rocket sometime in Nov but haven't seen anything since. Has anybody heard anything?

Yeah it was just a dream the 07 line is already out. Maybe next year.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

All that I can say is that my dealer is standing by his statement saying that we are going to see a new air cooled, injected vertical twin between 1500 and 1600 cc starting mid 07. Said that he has seen it with his own eyes. So we shall see.

Was talking to my dealer the other day, he swears it's a yes on this bike as well, said he even saw pics at a dealer meeting of some prototypes but not going to be out till '08 with a slight chance of it being an early release. Soooo maybe mid to late this summer. I'm really interested in this bike so dying for it to come around..... scary thought though, was hangin' in the bookstore tonite waiting on the wife while she was shopping and was reading a story in of the bike rags about Triumph's forthcoming association with OCC and the release of the "Tuetal Triumph". If this bike is the much anticipated larger cruiser I'm gonna cr@p myself.... reading this article only made me think if the OCC boys and Triumph get too chummy I'm gonna have to sell my bike and buy a Harley. Naw, I couldn't do that, boy, hows about them new Guzzi's !? Steve

Dealer also told me he saw the pics of the 1500 ( or so ) cruiser, and is expected to be out as a 08 model. It will be a classic Brit twin and look real sweet. Also says the present Speedmaster/America should remain too.

The national distributor for Triumph in Greece told me exactly the same a few months ago (I posted it on here at the time).
I tend to believe him.

I love how somethings around here never change. So based on my research: If one sees a new triumph mystery cruiser thread. An oil thread should follow in less than a week. Bring on the Rotella!

Even though I agreed to maintain a low profile, I can say the "mystery" cruiser is quietly sitting in a garage in an undisclosed location. I can say it is red in color and uses synthetic oil, or is that regular ??

So with all of these dealers "talking" what is it supposed to LOOK like. Real sweet doesn't cut it as Triumphs line is so unique from top to bottom that it could look like ANYTHING?!?! Is it a Speedy on steroids? a modern boonie? a tamed rocket? ANY info you guys can rangle out of them be it peacefully or under extreme interogation would be VERY welcome 
Black '06 Speedmaster, BUB of course.

Since there was a question of what they will look like, the dealer said, " Think of an America but with a motor twice the normal size, air cooled with fins like the original America, and fuel injection in place of the carbs .

I was told it will look sportier than an America, more in the vein of the Speedmaster, but not a copy of it. It will be in the "family" type of look, a natural progression.

FYI, Received this E-mail from the dealer where I bough my TBA.
We have a lot to look forward to in 2007 as a European Motorcycle Dealership; there are lots of incredible new models coming from all of our manufacturers. Ducati is coming out with the awesome new 1098 Superbike this winter and the new Hypermotard in the spring. BMW has an amazing new lineup with the new “G†series bikes, a new HP Bike and the new K1200RS. Triumph has the new Tiger….and another fantastic bike (shhhhh, I am sworn to secrecy) later in the year. Vespa is bringing out Vintage and Special Editions of their new GTS250, the first fuel injected Vespa ever.
Just my 2C

Now I know why I bought my Triumph instead of a Ducati a few years ago...cause this one wasn't made yet. Love it. Might be my next purchase (pending the T1500 cruiser unveiling).

Such a simple statement but music to my ears... "Triumph News & Rumors: New 1600cc water-cooled parallel twin in the works; unsure if it will be styled as a cruiser or retro " Webbikeworld.comAnd just when scheduled a visit next week to the dealer to look at the '07 Tiger.
