I've been looking at basic specs. of some of the more popular Sport Tourers and using the Tiger Explorer as a point of reference since the Trophy is not out yet.
Bike HP Wt. MFSRP Price
Triumph Explorer 137 HP 570lbs. $ 15,699
Kawasaki Concours 160 688 15,899
Yamaha FJR 1300 141 644 15,590
BMW R1200RT 110 570 17,350
BMW 1600 GT 160.5 703 20,900
Moto Guzzi Norge 95 542(dry) 16,290
I've come to the conclusion the new Trophy will not be cheap and may be priced between the BMW and Moto Guzzi.
Also I learned another little tidbit today that some of you probably already knew. The 2013 BMW boxer engine will be watercooled.
