whats everyones opinions on the 07 bikes shame we still didnt get the big twin ,like the new green an silver on the scrambler and good to see the america get an update




Quite favorable. IMO;

The paint schemes are all tastefully appropriate - Particularly with the Tiger. Some may argue that the colors aren't what they want but, hey, ya gotta mix it up a bit from time to time. I'm crazy about the dark blue and white combo on the BA

The BA/SM wheels are to die for - unless, of course, you're a spokephile.

The engine upgrades along the entire twin line is quite nice - Particularly within the Std. Bonnie, T-100, Scrambler line - Although I'm not a particular fan of the 'torque rules' philosophy in regard to the BA/SM. I'd much rather see the BA/SM specs match the Thruxton's output.

The Urban Sports segment is as usual - Freakin' AWWWWWWESOMMMME.

The Rocket is/remains, well, BIG. It still suffers from an embarrasing wart, and has that ultra-industrial looking engine, and openly displays that automotive sized radiator. That all said, and as ugly a duckling it may be, its beauty is not on the surface but within. Oh yeah, the blacked out engine helps a heap in the appearance department, but what it REALLY needs is some cosmetic surgery. Give it a tank shaped in the Triumph heritage-sans wart, take a laser knife to that wart and toss it into the bushes, do ANYTHING to that radiator EXCEPT put a chrome shroud over it, supply some drag bars, Put a single 7" headlight on the front, and trim down that front mud guard - and there it is -
Speedmaster - SUPERSIZED! I'll have one of those...
