This is what my dealer told me. He swears they are working on what he thinks is going to be a sportbike with that engine. I believe that if they are working on another bike with this engine it's either NOT a SB or if it is the engine will have to be changed drastically to be compretitive with other SB's in that class. Otherwise it will be pathetic compared to daytonas and Busas and such which are insanely fast. So i tend to believe it will be what carl would die for,...a huge standard.
he does have a lot more inside info than other dealers because his shop works with mickey cohen mototrsprorts, and mickey is the USA triumph fleet manager. This guys sets up, mods, and repairs all triumph promo bikes and he know what no one else does. I was there today, as he's the one that did my tune for my TORs. He is a great source of inside info, and thats where my dealers i believe gets all the inside stuff he seems to know about such as triumph getting ready to offer a cat bypass for the Tbird. I wish i could have asked mickey about this, but he was really busy and i had so many questions i needed to ask it was all i could do to get a couple of the important ones in. But i plan on making him my main mech when i don't do my own wrenching, so i will be back there now and then.
so anyways, i would put money on it, but i don't think my dealer knows exactly what this bike is going to be other than it's going to be a non cruiser with the bird's engine. This could be the bike that makes Carls day. :ya2:
