I just got this in an e-mail from Triumph today, thought I would share it, better veiw of the silver dressed out one. I did trip the excess out of the scenery.
Nekked is always hotter! Dress up is nice when your on a long haul, but stripped down just brings out the best in any bike...well maybe not a stripped down Goldwing!
I think the tour model is ugly as hell! Looks like a 80's yamaha. But all triumphs touring attempts look pretty lame to me! Put a small shield such as a windvest and some sweet leather bags(hepco becker) and your set to go. Gauges ??? Probably not to important to look at much on this type bike.
The pipes allow the radiator to blend better. I not a big fan of the flared or trumpet like
muffs. Straight pipe would do thid bike better. Some nice hidden baffles to knock down the high end and good to go. Like the handle bars - Would look good on a rocket if you can get the proper riding position.
