was at the vancouver bike show on friday spotted the triumph booth COOL... they had a temp license to serve beer... they did upstaged hardley. babelson ..lots of people standing around wine barrels quafing a cold one ,I also spotted a single lonesome R3 in a corner away from all the bike display prima donnas ... I asked a man wearing a black shirt emblazoned with a triumph logo if by chance that r3 was a 2018 model he went looked up the VIN number and said yep it is a 2018 so folks if any of you are waiting for a confirmation this is the word . I looked carefully and physically NO changes visually from previous year
