Well, sorry Martin and Jim, BUT first Jim: evidently there aren't enough "minivans on two wheels" already 'CAUSE Honda still sure sells a whole lot o' new GoldWings, and BMW still sure sells a whole lot o' new RTs and LTs to a whole lot o' folks out there. And soooooo, why shouldn't Triumph FINALLY jump into that market with both feet, and especially with a basic layout that just SCREAMED from the very first RocketIII they ever made to do exactly THIS to that big ol' motorcycle, HUH?!
Now granted, I probably wouldn't ever buy one of these because I doubt I'd ever jump a bike and head from Prescott AZ to, say, Anchorage AK, BUT I got a feelin' all the folks out there who DO that sort of cross-continent touring, and they're legion out there alright, would certainly like to have another choice in this style of motorcycle.
And now Martin: So you said you "liked the latest model Wings" and I presuming you're talkin' about the Victory Vision out there....so what's so different or outlandish about the looks of this proposed Triumph tourer as compared to those machines, huh?!
What?! You think Triumph should only stick with makin' "modern classics" or somethin'?! Well, if that's what you're thinkin' here, I have to say that I think it was and is a very smart move on Mr.Bloor's part to have the only street motorcycle lineup which includes not only those "modern classics" but ALSO some of the latest and greatest sportbikes(the 675 Daytona), and ultra-modern naked bikes(the Speed and Street Triples), and big and functional cruisers like the Thunderbird and the RocketIII.
(uh huh, once again, I'm right around here, huh?!)
