Based off of what model, the speed triple.. Sounds like if it happens, the bike would almost have to be an illegal homologation special.

Doesnt that mean that they will almost have to introduce and build 3000 units [of whatever its going to be] to the public in 2011. I guess they can slap an 1100 cc 3 cylinder in the 675 frame.
I had a trawl around the net........best I could find is that it`ll be a brand new 3 cylinder machine.
maybe the Daytona 955 is making a comeback!!!
Well its a possibility that the Daytona tag will be used.Wish I knew more.

I damn near bought one, but report after report was mentioning exhaust header pipe would drag the ground with larger riders in the twisties. I went with a TLR 1000 instead.

Well the TLR was an excellent choice, I actually got to ride one (steering dampner fixed) and from what little seat time I got impressed me. Zook was probably easier for you to have serviced as well, unless you have a Triumph dealer near you?

I really enjoyed the bike, but i must say, having owned both a TLR and an RC51, the RC was a much better balanced machine in the twisties.

Oh, I didn't know you had an RC51, never rode one of those but did ride a Super-Hawk and felt immediatly comfortable on that bike.
sorry everyone, I've gotten way off topic about bikes....rock on Triumph in WSBK!
always wanted to get a TL 1000R to complete my superbike line up. I have an 04 RC51, and 04 Aprilia RSVR Factory. Seen here with my Aprilia Falco. Maybe one day I will find a Ducati 998R!!
Did you ever get a rear shock for your TL or did you run it with that rear rotory damper that was reportedly awful once it got hot??
