Triumph’s Upcoming Motorcycles in 2013 Spied

MotorCycle News (MCN) has reportedly caught hold of some exclusive pictures that show Triumph motorcycle models being tested. Three Triumph motorcycles have been caught testing by the online blog. Two of the models are just upgrades to the existing line-up while the third one is an all new addition to the company’s portfolio. The all new motorcycle is a naked motorcycle built on lines of Street Trackers/ Cafe Racers. It is based on the company’s existing Bonneville bike chassis. The two upgrade models are of the Tiger Sport 1050 and a Thunderbird cruiser bike.

The Bonneville based cafe racer model caught on test clearly shows the use of latest state-of-the art suspension technology and braking systems and is expected to hit the international markets by 2014. The Tiger Sport 1050, on the other side boasts of a new swingarm, suspension parts and wheels, it looks to be in the final stages of testing prior to the commencement of production. This is expected to hit the markets by 2013. The updated Thunderbird Storm features new wheels, new forks and a major styling update. The updated bike looks similar to the Harley Davidson’s Fat Bob model.

With increased popularity of Cafe Racers, Triumph is hoping to cash in on the craze with its Street Tracker type motorcycle. While the Thunderbird aims to pull in prospective Harley buyers, the Tiger renowned for adventure motorcycling will further strive to compete with its rivals with improved performance. Triumph has already announced its foray into the Indian market. It remains to be seen when these models make it to the Indian shores.

Upcoming KTM Duke 390 To Be Fully Faired Sportsbike!

At the EICMA 2012 International Motorcycle Show, KTM had revealed a model of the KTM 390 Duke which apparently was just a display model. It was in fact a Duke 200 with a higher displacement engine and slight heavier. Recently it has been revealed by KTM CEO Stefan Pierer that the showcased KTM 390 Duke will not be coming to India. Rather, the Duke 390 bound for India will be a fully faired model. Earlier, Mr. Pierer in month of January had talked about a supermotard, a faired sports bike as well as the naked street model of the Duke.
Pierer also mentioned that a touring model will be replacing the Supermotard. This perfectly makes sense because the Supermotard will be one of the costliest to develop in terms of suspension development, engine tuning etc. In comparison to that, a touring based model is relatively easier to develop since over a sports motorcycle or a naked motorcycle, it is just re-tuning the motorcycle’s responses to the throttle and steering inputs. Additionally, some accommodations have to be made in terms of seating, wind protection and luggage options.

However, it has been revealed that the touring model will come later after the full faired model of the KTM Duke 390 arrives. The Duke 390 will be powered by a 375cc engine that produces 47 PS of power. Speculations on the pricing of the Duke 390 has been all over the media who expect it to be in the range between Rs 1.8 and 2.2 lakh (ex-showroom) and we believe the faired motorcycle will still lie in this range but on the high side of Rs 2.0 lakh (ex-showroom).
