I'd be interested to look at one, but don't really need another bike just this minute. (like I can afford it).

The real question is.....

What shall we name it?  :D

steamer
Girly
roadie
beaker
???

Another article today in MCN about Triumph taking a leaf out of Japanese book in the early days of being great copiers,but looking at the spec of the new 1200 their certainly making a grand effort.

Seen MCN today; I really REALLY hope it's as good as the pics and hype. But then i'll want one badly..... :x

it's inevitable. The bike will be released. Someone will nickname it.... here is a thread where those who might like to suggest nicknames could start.

From another topic, we had:

 1. Fat Cat
 2. Optimus (prime)
 3. Tiger Explorer
 4. Big Beaker (Large Beaker?)

Toss out some ideas!

I thought about "Exploder" but that's unkind, especially since I might own one  

OH shit, please don't ban me  :shock:

Big Beaker seems appropriate and shortens up nicely to BB, until something more tempting hets suggested.

Well this bike is kinda like Beaker's boss.  A big beaker.  The head honcho beaker....

So....



I'm guessing it's "Bunsen".

Guy's, come on already. why do we feel the need to rename this bike. I apologise for my last post, but it was meant as sarcasm. Triumph has given this thing a cool name already, though it may have been better suited for the 800 instead of that stupid "Beaker" name given on this(only), but it is what it is. I for one will refer to this bike as the Explorer .   mustang - pm sent.

But - there is already an Explorer, with a shady past, as well.

Let's just call it "Ford"

As in Prefect, of course. Many folk will simply look upon that name and mispronuciate it as Perfect, which we all know Triumphs ARE.

So there, it's now to be called "Ford"

After all, we let them use Thunderbird, and they screwed that one up...
