special edition?

[Macrider]

Theres been some mention about a 2011 Rocket 3 Touring "Special Edition"
What is this about?
Is it an actual "Special Edition' or is it just the regular 2011 touring model with the $2000 worth of accessories that triumph has thrown in?

Will know for sure at the end of January after the dealer's meeting or so I am told, supposedly a boatload of accessories will be unveiled for the Thunderbird as well.

Special Edition Stuff

I bought a 2010 R3T in September and my dealer referred to it as a "Special Edition", which is equipped with Passenger Backrest with Luggage Rack, Driving Lights, Taller Windscreen, as well as lots of extra chrome trim items and the Premium Seat with Driver Backrest. I can imagine that the 2011 is just the same thing as the 2010. I think there is also no price increase over the 2010 model.

From what I've read, the accessories that came on the 2010 "Special Edition" R3T will become standard on the 2011 model.
