Triumph VP of Marketing Todd Anderson said "We have two new cruisers coming out in the next 12 to 18 months. Our line right now has an 865cc engine and a 2300. I think you can figure out where the new one will be." He further added that one platform will be all-new, the other a derivation of an existing model.
So there will be a middleweight and the model derived from the other surely wouldn't be another 865cc model since you have the Bonneville variations already.
Oh the bike, Can't wait to see the new tank close up,unless it's just a disguise..I like to keep a second set of tins painted up to change each month of the season..It keeps me amused,and the cops confuseded...
Interestingly, my wife saw the pictures of the proposed touring R3 and told me point blank that if Triumph builds a full blown (no pun intended Jack )one, that she wants me to trade in my Classic and get one.
She don't mind riding on the back of the Classic, but longs for the hard luggage and the top trunk to lean (read fall asleep) against.
Gawd, I might as well get a Hardley dresser and join the potato bike crowd.
