Triumph Street Single | Coming Soon

[Motorcyclist]

Triumph motorcycle production continues to reach new heights, with the company on-track to build 53,000 motorcycles this year in two British and three Thai factories.Triumph motorcycle production continues to reach new heights, with the company on-track to build 53,000 motorcycles this year in two British and three Thai factories. Much of this growth is the result of a headlong rush into new markets with bold products like the Tiger 800 adventure bike and Daytona 675 supersport. Triumph will continue to extend its range, which has grown from 13 models in 2007 to 20 models in 2011, with even more new models planned for the next two years. We've already spied the large-capacity Trophy tourer (Up To Speed, February), and it's widely understood this motor will also power a new adventure-tourer to compete with BMW's R1200GS. Now we've learned that Triumph is developing new product at the opposite end of the spectrum, in the form of a small-displacement, single-cylinder beginner's bike.

Not impressed!

It is unlikely to suit beginners unless Triumph offer it at a price the market will stand, that new 800cc model had me all excited as a second ride but at $18,000.00 there is not much chance of that.

I can see it doing OK in Europe but from my experience which I admit is very limited it will be unlikely to take off here (unless the price is very low).

I would be interested, again as a second ride if it has something unique, but the picture does not enthuse me....
