Keith Burley's Triumph Drag Bike ..

 Keith Burley made shakedown runs at Rockingham Dragway during a private test session last week. The Castrol-sponsored Triumph bike makes its debut in the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle wars at the O'Reilly Route 66 Nationals this Friday, June 28.  This is the first venture for the British motorcycle manufacturer
into the NHRA Pro Stock class and the first since Arthur Fonzarelli rode one in the 1970s sitcom Happy Days.

And Triumph TROPHY 1200 It Is .. !! (video)


As worst kept secrets go, Triumph’s new 1200 Trophy possibly deserves its own trophy.
But now it’s a hushed secret no more. It's official. It will be launched into the market in September of this year. This is also the time when we find out how much it will cost. Our estimations put the pricing around £14,000 for the entry-level Trophy, aimed at BMW's K1600GT which is £15,495.00 OTR and the R1200RT at £12,595.00 OTR.
The Trophy shares the same 1215cc three-cylinder engine as the Tiger Explorer, but sixth gear will be at a higher ratio on the tourer. Service intervals have been set at 10,000 for minor and 20,000 for the major.
During the presentation Triumph revealed that they are aiming to sell only 2,500 of both models, globally in the first year.
We didn’t get the chance to ride the new bike at it’s unveiling in Austria today but we got to see it and listen to a presentation about its development, purpose and role within the market.
For now, here’s the official specification and a full gallery of the Triumph Trophy 1200.
