TRIUMPH NEWS
NEWS FROM THE 2009 EICMA SHOW!
10 November 2009
The Rocket III Roadster, which received its world press launch in the UK last month, is the latest version of our cult 2.3 litre motorcycle that created such a stir when it was first introduced in 2004.
This new motorcycle features a sophisticated ABS system, blacked-out styling and revised ergonomics plus a new exhaust system for increased power and torque. The Rocket III Roadster now pumps out a mighty 221Nm - more than any other volume production motorcycle.
Also unveiled is the Bonneville Sixty. Inspired by the classic colour scheme of the 1960 incarnation of Triumph’s most famous model, the Bonneville Sixty is a limited run of 650 T100s featuring a unique two-tone Meriden Blue/Caspian Blue combination with hand painted pinstripes. Each motorcycle comes with a numbered plaque on the handlebar clamp and an individual certificate of authenticity.
The third special edition released at the show is the Speed Triple SE. Triumphs most famous model gains updated suspension and two-tone paint for the first time in its 15 year history.
Premium paint for a premium Cruiser
Also on show are two new premium colour options for the Thunderbird cruiser.
The flamboyant Phantom Blue Haze and Phantom Red Haze Thunderbirds are hand painted at Triumph’s Hinckley factory and contain a high sparkle content that creates an impression of incredible depth in sunlight, transforming it from almost black to a vibrant blue or red.
The new colour options will be made available on a limited run of Thunderbirds in early 2010.
