No real pics, just a computer generated approximation of what the 1200 Super Ten might look like. i.e. the same as the 660 Tenere.

It was in the British "Motor Cycle News". Which included firm rumours (if such a thing exists) That Triumph has an off road Tiger1200 on the way. Aprilia has something "over 750" on the way. And KTM are to upgrade the 990ADV to 1190cc.

Of course, we're all still waiting for the 675 Tiger Cub. Had a go on a Street Triple the other day. WOW! What an engine. HEY, TRIUMPH, YOU LISTENING? WE WANT THAT ENGINE IN AN OFF ROAD CHASSIS FOR £6000.

Would you be so kind as to zoom in on the Triumph portion, please?  

[Chris Canning]

It says Triumph are working on a new version of the 3 cylinder Tiger,but unlike current offerings will be aimed at the serious off-road riders.
Expect it to be launched within 2 years and to feature the new generation triple engine around 1200cc with real offroad tyres.

The world does not need ANOTHER 1200cc dirtbike.

How about something in the 8-900cc range?  :x

[aeronca]

The world may not need the MORE CUBES....
but we Americans need all the CUBES we can get!

We don't ride to the store...... We haul ass for 5 days... then come home!

How many 600 hp ZO6 Vettes will GM sell..... Plenty!

The world is coming to an end..... burn all the gas you can!

Our Global Warming is about to freeze my ass off!~

[aeronca]

in that case, i'll take a BossHoss -  with off road tires thankyou very much. :lol:

[JetdocX]

Bullshit!  I take my Tigger to the grocery store all the time.  And to work and on adventures.   :roll:

[eatalotapeaches]

I'd be interested.  Of course I would prefer a lighter more manageable mid-weight, but at least it's a step in the right direction.

Unfortunately for those of us over 6'6", bikes with smaller engines do not usually translate into tall, long bikes.

I need a big bike.
