REAL New Model news

[R-III-R Turbo]

I guess this story has being doing the rounds for years, sporadically somebody hears something and posts about it, and everybody (no offence) has a reliable source...

But on the other hand, apparently Rocket manufacture has all but ceased, and the longer we wait the more likely a change is to come,,,, so this could be it. Hopefully it is.

I'm also waiting on that 1400cc Turbo Hayabusa Suzuki are supposed to be bringing out for the last decade

Until the current model ended everything was just supposition.

Who knows, Triumph may have had the new bike ready for 10 years and decided to cancel it and keep building the old model for the last 10 years and we're just now getting leaked info about that old prototype. Never know right?

Why wait send your busa to Carpenter and get the 300hp kit on it.

Who knows,

Mr Bloor!.

The old one was doomed by Euro4. It barely passes Euro3 (I know). Even the big 4 dropped models because they knew that making them pass was simply not worth it. And Euro5 will be a real challenge.

What saddens me most about Euro4 is that there were lots of simple affordable small bikes (extra-urban commuter) that simply disappeared. And there is simply NOTHING there to take their place. So their second hand value has soared (relatively).

The only light on the horizon for city dwellers is a neat little electric scooter that has just arrived - cutting the cost of electrics in half and a simple pull out battery. So anti-theft and easy recharge in one.

I am a bit "who cares" about the next R3. I am sure that by the time I consider one - it will simply be too heavy for me. Though this maybe my thoracic vertebrae talking. God they are sore today.

Triumph is in total control of all leaks. As the reveal date draws near we will shift from verbal to spy shots...to youtube fuzzy video and so on.

Trump tariffs force Harley-Davidson to build overseas

I saw it today while waiting for my flight.

H-D claims they will lose millions due to the tariffs, both ways, and are planning to build bikes in other countries specifically for those locales.

Harley-Davidson, Blaming E.U. Tariffs, Will Move Some Production Out of U.S.
