Well Mike I went online to check the starting prices of all the sport touring bikes I could think of.

Moto Guzzi Norge 1200- $16,290
Yamaha FJR 1300 $15,590
Kawasaki Concours 1400 $15,899
BMW 1200 RT $17,350
BMW K 1600 GT $20,900
Honda ST 1300 $18,230

So I'm thinking what you said. The new Trophy should come in around $17,500 or below. I was surprised at the price of a Honda ST. Hey but I've been wrong before.
