Thats a nice looking bike, alot like the Roadstar in styling. Would love to know the MPG

 

[sadster]

If you can block the side by side cylinders and exhaust arrangement, the overall appearance to me closely resembles a sportster

Hey... It's a Suzuki VTX

 

[djkahler]

from the rear it does look like a VTX tailight, not that I see that view that much, heh heh!

Wow, nice radiator. I wouldn't call a 1599cc, water-cooled cruiser "competition", but that's just me.

My wife is still looking hard at the T-Bird as her second bike. She rode one about 4 years ago for an hour and loved it. Thisversion looks even nicer. And it has97ci of nasty power. I'm not a radiator fan, but she has one now on her bike so we will see.

Pretty cool, but not blow $13k and give up my Warrior cool.

If it ain't a Harley then it ain't sh!t.

/sorry, I signed a contract that said I had to post that to a "jap bike" forum at least ten times within the first year after I bought my Harley.

I think I have about 3 to go. Bear with me...

The pics in Cycle World were Better and the bike looks alot nicer. Triumph is supposed to be coming out with an aftermarket engine upgrade to 1700 and claims 100hp and 114tq. IMO I like the look of the bike even though I'm not a fan of the radiator.

If it ain't a Harley then it ain't sh!t.

So if I am reading this right if it is Harley then it is *%$#*.... Just kidding ya shag.

 

[papawheelie]

Definitely not. My Warrior is waaaay badder than that thing.

 

[gbinder]

Don't really like the styling, the shocks on the swingarm, instruments on the tank, radiator, side by side pistons, and exhaust don't really do it for me. Without the "extensive" aftermarket they claim I don't see it as much competitiuon and even then they better be some pretty badass parts

75bhp and 100 fp of torque I just SHAT myself I'll be seeing very little of that TANK in my rear view mirror! I agree with Sang Not much comp there!

 

[antitech1]

Not very original.

 

[cyberdon]

I have just 1 thing to say "BOO!". Too traditional looking for me. I doubt it will EVER be Warrior competition...just my thinking )

 

[Guido]

Cool looking bike....
I personally would love to see a water cooled Warrior.... less heat, better revving engine and definitely would have more power...
Would love to see how a Warrior with the "old" Vmax engine would handle...

I had a 99 tbird sport, it was a fun bike to ride it was a triple, it was night and day to any other bike I have owned. wish I would of kept it, this new version is way different, they really are trying to compete with the metrics and HD now compared to the america and speedmaster wich are only 850cc or something like that.

Dual exhaust on each side of bike, covering up the lines....FAIL!!


Exposed rear shock.....FAIL!!!


Radioator..FFFFFFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
