Triumph Plans Six New Models by 2012

 

Triumph Motorcycles announced six limited edition 2010 models at its recent U.S. Dealer Conference. Included are two versions of its Thunderbird cruiser, including the Thunderbird SE and Thunderbird 1700 – the former featuring touring amenities and the latter coming with the optional big-bore kit standard (pumping displacement up to 1700cc).



Two special editions each for Triumph's Modern Classics and Urban Sport lines are also planned. The Bonneville Sixty is a commemorative edition of the 1960 Bonneville, priced at $8999, of which only 100 will be shipped to North America. The Bonneville T100 Black, as the name suggests, is a blacked out version of the T100, which sports a more retro style than the standard Bonnie, most notably via its wire-spoked wheels.

 

 

The Urban Sport line gets a Speed Triple SE, sporting Tornado Red paint and white center stripe, as well as seat cowl and flyscreen ($11,299). The new SE’s are rounded out by the Daytona 675 SE, with white bodywork and blue chassis, along with carbon fiber trim and new graphics overlay ($10,299).

While the addition of more special edition “SE” models continues a trend by the British marque, the boys at Hinckley have plans beyond modest SE tweaks (and higher MSRPs) to existing models. The press release, which also announces the looming sale of Triumph’s 100,000th motorcycle in the 15 years since returning to North America, gives hard numbers for a planned lineup expansion saying:



“Triumph currently offers 16 different models in three motorcycle families: Cruiser, Urban Sport and Modern Classic. That will grow to 23 models across seven motorcycle families by the end of 2012 and include categories where Triumph does not currently compete.”

What could those new categories include? A mid-displacement complement to the Tiger has long been rumored, even coming with a name – the Tiger Cub. The British marque is also notoriously bereft of a literbike to match its popular Daytona 675 supersport.



Triumph Motorcycles North America CEO Mark Kennedy says in the release: “Triumph has methodically grown our model range and dealer network over the past 15 years, and we have even more great things in store for customers in the coming years.” Kennedy continues, “Triumph has maintained our commitment to new product development, so customers will continue to see great new products that push the envelope in terms of styling, performance and reliability. The next few years are going to be a lot of fun, and we’re really looking forward to the journey.”

BMW Unveils K1600GT at INTERMOT

 

BMW finally released images of its K1600GT and K1600GTL touring motorcycles when it pulled the cover of its new six-cylinder touring bikes at the INTERMOT Bike Show in Cologne, Germany. The Bavarian marque released introductory info on the Inline Six designs in July, but saved the full reveal for INTERMOT.



Stylistically the new Beemer sticks close to the concept drawings teased with its earlier announcement. A notable change from BMW’s previous touring models, the fairing shape doesn’t extend fully down the entire side of the bike. Instead the KT1600 leaves the engine sides exposed, revealing the 55-degree forward slant of the Inline Six.



The new powerplant claims peak power of 160 horsepower. The six-cylinder mill churns out 129 lb-ft of torque, with BMW touting 70% of the peak torque at 1500 rpm. The new mill weighs in at 226 pounds and is just 22 inches wide. Viewed from the front, the K1600GT looks no wider than its smaller-displacement K series kin.

 

The models unveiled at INTERMOT reveal a heavyweight touring platform. Integrated luggage and adjustable screen are obvious additions. The seating and passenger accomodations for the GTL tourer look downright Gold Wing-esque – the Flat Six-powered Honda its seeming head-to-head rival.



Turn signal indicators look to be tucked under the middle fairing section, underneath the new “adaptive headlight” which makes its debut on the touring platform. The new headlight system uses sensors to detect banking angle, with stepper motors then turning the light on an axis to maintain level beam projection on the road ahead.



Other techno features on the K1600 touring bikes include ride-by-wire electronics and three engine mappings: Rain, Road and Dynamic. Standard ABS is supplemented by the Dynamic Traction Control developed by the German company’s first-ever Superbike – the BMW S1000RR. The two new rides also source proprietary BMW components like the Duolever front suspension and Paralever swingarm, the suspension settings changed on the fly via BMW’s ESA II (Electronic Suspension Adjustment).



Motorcycle USA will attend the K1600GT’s official U.S. reveal later today at gearhead Jay Leno’s garage. Stay tuned for more details.

2011 BMW R1200GS Triple Black First Look

Black is the most slimming color, so for those of you who think that BMW’s Boxer-powered adventure bike s a little too thick in the middle, take a look at the 2011 BMW R1200GS Triple Black special edition. BMW put the dual-cam engine in the 2010 GS and GS Adventure, but the bikes look to be mostly unchanged for the new model year.



The new color scheme adds some extra flair with dark accents all around. The Beemer starts with the Sapphire Black Metallic color on the body (which was available in 2010) and adds black cross-spoke wheels. The engine is blacked out along with the fork, and the swimgarm, rear frame and valve covers are Ashphalt Grey Metallic, making for a much more aggressive look. The extra $3935 (assuming the MSRP stays the same as 2010 at $14,950) also earns the proud owner a special seat embroidered with the “GS” logo. However, a good portion of that extra cash covers the Premium Package Equipment, which can be added to any standard GS and comes automatically with the Triple Black. The package includes Enduro Electronic Suspension Adjustment, heated grips, on-board computer, hand guards, ABS and saddle bag mounts.



The BMW R1200GS was our favorite bike to ride in the 2010 Adventure Touring Shootout, and we would have loved it even more with the wicked scheme. Watch for this black beauty to hit BMW dealers in January, 2011.
