That shaft-drive on the new Tiger Explorer should help take a bigger bite out of BMW R1200GS sales, not to mention the Yamaha Super Tenere sales too.

So, it DOES look as if Triumph is gonna wait until 2013 to bring out a shaft-driven Sport-Touring Trophy model version of it afterall, eh?!

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
