Looks like Triumph is planning to release next iteration of Rocket 3 . Front and rear radar for adaptive cruise control and collision warning,new console, semi-active rear suspension.
I hope they don’t mess up the front headlights.

more electronics garbage to please the TPTB

engine and frame is same, no for me its a no

but I will buy its headlights and put it on my 2.5 L rocket for a change
 
I do like adaptive cruise, but not at the expense of the signature dual headlights. Someone commented on that short that what the next version really needs is more fuel capacity, and that one I can totally get behind. Bunch of Harley buddies asked me recently why I have to stop for gas so often with such a big tank. They were shocked that it was only 4.6gal, even though it sure does LOOK like 6gal
 
It looks like it still has dual headlights, just wrapped in some sort of wrapping to conceal them. From the one angle it looks like there are cooling fins on the back, like an LED headlight would typically have. I think the one headlight in the middle is temporary to keep it legal for road testing, and to throw people off.

The backrest and its mount are also concealed in the same material. Integrated brake light? (unless that's it's just below the rear radar).

The dash is definitely different, and I hope to God they aren't adopting the garbage display from the Tiger 1200.
 
It looks a lot like the front of a Yamaha adventure bike a friend rode over to show me. It has the adaptive cruise control and gee-wizardry headlights, all of which tell me that anything that goes wrong with it is gonna be expensive to repair.
