My guess is that this new Trophy might just take a bigger bite out of BMW R1200RT, Yamaha FJR1300 and Kawasaki Concours 14 sales, as the biggest complaint from the purchasers of those machines about the earlier Triumph Sport Touring offerings was the lack of a shaft-drive from the boys at Hinckley, and now that complaint appears to have been rectified.
(...and my other guess is that the fairing shown in this spy photo will be slightly different and not as "slab-sided" on the production models)
