Just when you though the thread was dead, I was perusing the Triumph site and came across the press release for the 2011 models. (As an aside, it's interesting what constitutes a "new model"--they count the "new" Speedmaster and America, though really all they did was bolt some different crap on them. But I digress...)
This whole "roadster" vs. "cruiser" thing popped up again. Even TRIUMPH is confused (bolding mine).
Quote:
Roadsters: Speed Triple, Street Triple, Street Triple R
Supersport: Daytona 675, Daytona 675R
Adventure: Tiger 800, Tiger 800XC
Touring: Tiger 1050, Sprint GT
Classics: Bonneville, Bonneville SE, Bonneville T100, Scrambler, Thruxton
Cruisers: Thunderbird, Thunderbird Storm, America, Speedmaster, Rocket III Roadster,
Rocket III Touring
So... they call the R3R a Roadster but put it in the Cruiser category? Wha-wha-what?
