Today I stoped over at Destination Daytona Harley- Bruce Rossmeyer
The Triumph group was there with about 15 bikes..three new 08 touring with bypass , three rockets, some with tors and bypass exaust...
Speed triples
Was a female rep from the factory although did not have to many answers for the few questions I asked.
One thing I asked why the HP was reduced on the 08 Touring and got a mixed bag..and maybe I should not read into it....the answer as to why they reduced the HP ..was they changed the frame.....I read into this that with the change in the frame you get a narrow profile in the rear with narrow tire as well and allows for the large baggage for which the bike was sold for ....my thoughts were did they trade off some HP for a frame design that may not support the 140 stk HP?
By the way any questions you have I would be happy to ask the folks as I will be going to the Destination Daytona about everyday....and Triumph will be there through saturday and giving test rides.....And I do want to ride a Speed Triple!!
