Got an email about Triumph's prototype today. Okay, I LIKE the design. I know it is to hide some details of body, I think it is neat.

Now, what is a middle weight bike? New 800'ish size?

I had the same question ... isn't the 750-900 class the mid-weight class?  If so, they already have one.

It’s based on the same 660 motor as the new Trident.

Ok, that makes sense.

660 does make sense. Like the Wee-Strom 600. A buddy from NC ride one to the artic circle and back, two up a lot of the way.

The brakes and suspension parts appear to be higher end, like Brembo.

I wonder what the price point will be?

If that ends up being a good sport touring bike, it would be tempting to trade my tiger for one of those and a dirt bike for trails.
