@Azisbest thanks for that review. Triumph answered my letter asking them about when the next actual R3T would be out and they said no plans at present and recommended I try the R3GT or Bonneville America. That kind of ticked me off sounding like the person answering the mail did not know what an R3T is by that response. But I digress...
I too think the sixth gear and cruise control are a bonus and want those add-ons. But the other electronics do not yet move me. I admit that Brahma is the first ABS bike out of 27 others I have ridden and now am sold on it, so maybe I can be persuaded later.
The negatives you mention are significant for me though: no floorboards, uncomfortable seat (yes I get your idea of being new and different) and no windscreen. These things are quite important to me when I do the long rides. Also, my ride has to be able to carry everything I need for a two-up, three day weekend. On first look, the R3GT misses that capability.
With that said, what are your thoughts on the panniers? They appear to be significantly smaller than
the R3T's. When I travel alone, I camp out and Brahma looks like the pictures below; I am not sure the R3GT is going to work for me. What do you think?
