Cycle World June 2007 issue quotes Todd Anderson, Triumph VP marketing... "that two new cruisers will be announced in the next 12 to 18 months. I think you can figure out where (in the product line) the new one will be. One will be all new and one will be a derivation of an existing model." They imply one will be a triple and that because cruisers are so big in the US market, ..."the likely 2009 release (will be a) big Twin."
Surely, Triumph will stay with the TBA/TBS style rather than than the gaudy, over blown Rocket. Cutting down a Rocket to 1200 would make no sense at all and be a horrible mistake.
I'm sorry, but the more I look at the Rocket, the less it looks like something from Triumph. Even the Korean bikes are more restrained styling wise. I think a 1200 big twin TBA/S would be a great seller and kick their sales in the butt.
