Yeah, it would'a been nice to see what that bigger Bonnie would look like this year, BUT actually I'm kind of impressed that a relatively small operation like Triumph HAS premiered a totally new model, the 675 Triple , AND expanded on two other established models.
I REALLY like the Bonnie Scrambler. It reminds me of the Trophy models, the BSA Firebird and Honda CL models of the late '60s(of which I had and liked) that where so popular back then.
Yeah...they're not exactly "dirt bikes", BUT they were, if you think about it, the granddaddies of the modern Tigers, the BMW GS's and many other Dual-Sport bikes out today. Basically a street bike capable of freeway flying AND fire-road exploration, and were much lighter and far less bulky than the water-cooled modern versions are today.
I'll give Triumph another year to bring out the "Super Bonnie". Besides....I still have reservations about a water-cooled twin looking as good as our BAs and Speedies.
