Is there any new or updated info on a new model T/bird? I heard something about the name and engine size had been re registered with some US dept which suggested another may be on the way.
Im hoping it will be as eye catching as the new R3
 
Usually there's spy shots leaked. I think there's still a few leftover commanders out there unsold also...I hate to say this, but I was a triumph fan back in the amf harley days and still remember the two competing for speed records. Now Triumph appears to detune their bikes to deliberately be the same or little bit slower than harley and the guys around here are way too smug and already believe a hd is the fastest thing on 2 wheels..there I go again, I'm trying to say I really hope if triumph brings the tbird back they deliver it with respectable numbers like 100/100 at the back tire to compete with the new indian might help sales. idk.
 
Not like that down here in FL they tremble at the local HD shop when I show up

Ive found they usually ignore me if Im on the R3. One dealer is ok, he says he will sell me a new HD one day. I say when its 150/150 HP and Torque at the back wheel and suits my long legs. Im not pay $3k for forward controls
 
Not sure what happened to that model. I traded my 11 with 14,000 miles on it for an o6 r3 with 9k on it and got a couple grand credit. My storm ran strong to around 115 mph in 5th and at that speed 6th had nothing to add.

I've been at the HD dealer on the Rocket a few times with a friend and they ignore me also, which is fine.
