Spy shots new rocket

Already increased my direct deposit to savings.

Think I'm going to keep my 2013 and make it a bit more friendly for two up since this one doesn't look like it's going to be comfy for the pillion on road trips lol.

I agree with Chris. The Proto model looks to be a heck of a cruiser. Exciting to see that Triumph would put this effort and cost in the super bike market. Limited in scope of use. Not capable of a touring ride with my wife. Oh well, I don't plan on selling my 08 R3T anyway.
As a single rider platform, and a muscle bike from the factory, this has bike could be today's "real deal".

I love the look of it, like others have said it has a Diavel touch to it. Not much of a backseat :/

Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that...............as has been mentioned it looks like something Ducati did with the Diaval years ago?
Now I know it’s difficult to come up with anything original these days ( don’t mention exhausts), but I don’t think it does the Rocket brand justice.

Much smaller rad.
Article mentions 2 peg positions, forward and neutral. Looks like forward one is shown
2 exhausts on right and 1 on left
Much beefier front forks
Is that the starter under the swingarm?

I think the rider is @warp9.9 . He rides around with laptops on the tank. Gotta be him.....

I don't know if I like the rear end of that thing

I agree, the rear looks like shiz. Generally I despise the jacked up, dirt bike'ish look of modern sport bikes and this is in the same neighborhood. It's very Ducati Diavel looking from the rear section.

Wonder if they're actually going to offer different colors on this one? I know the TFC teaser was in red, but what about the standard models. I would sure like some of the colors available on the Bonnie variants available on these things.
 



According to Declan, the new Rocket III will almost definitely be released later this year, as a limited edition TFC model, no official spec yet but indications are 2.5L with 180bhp, 6 speed, and an eye-watering €30-35k.

The "entry level" version will be along later, for less money but also "much" less power at maybe 150bhp.

Now I have first refusal on the first one in this country
 
Don't see a bear claw, looks like intake runners from where current oil tank is. Styling or real change?
