There is a rumor that the new 1500 will use super conductors for power. Therefore it will run on liquid nitrogen and 2 AA batteries, thus , the name Rocket II. The reason why it hasn't been release for general sale to the public is because the oil needs to be 0W synthetic that won't change viscosity down to -670F. According to my sources Triumph is working with NASA on this issue and may use the oil developed for the Space Shuttle cargo doors. It's called Astro oil and it's made in Massachusetts by NYE oil company. The only issue is that it's $130 per ounce.

So, just so I know we are on the same page... it is a 1500cc outsourced to Mazda, will use Lucas electrics and run on a nuclear morton salt that some guy named Duke copied, but the oil will be some mystery lubricant made by Marvel Comics and on bright days it will cast a black shadow?

Yeah but then it really sounds like a sewing machine...that 1100 Ninja sounded pretty goofy going "wwwwhhhhiiiirrrr" through Red section.
