O.C.

Being ex-Triumph I was interested but daft as it sounds the name put me off. Sounds dated, but the bikes probably stonking good - i did take an explorer out before the GTR purchase.  The extra £££'s for a shaft and facelift didnt sway me.

It does look smoother than the Sprint ST though.

I thought it was very RT-esque when I first saw the 'spy' pics.

They clearly have BMW in their cross hairs with the Explorer attack on the GS and now this model!

Can't wait to have a go on one

Meant to be very nice and a direct assault on the BMW ... Triumph said last week in a DT interview that it would be coming out at about £12,500 .... simply to undercut the tutonic grip on that particular market.
