That's the new Triumph Bonneville Scrambler.
Just do a search on "Triumpho Scrambler" and you will find some pics like this:
One of the bikes I've been looking for is the Japanese version of this bike, the W650 by Kawasaki.

The price was the same thing for me too. I do not regret getting this bike at all.
Also, at the last minuite, I almost went in this direction
I still would like to get one and keep my KLX too

There was a red/white Scrambler on the showroom floor, but it just didn't make me tingle like this silver Bonnie. I'm still keeping my KLX, but I only ride it in the dirt anyway - never on the road. It just seems underpowered to the me to be on the street - especially the State Hwys I have to ride around here. This Bonnie has more than enough "UMPH" to get it down the road.

OK - after this topic came up, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a new Triumph. The dealership also had a showroom full of Huskys to choose from it that suits your fancy (incabiker). The Supermotos were Very cool stuff indeed. My sales guy and one of the parts guys had just bought themselves offroad Huskys and I showed them where I like to ride in TN. They said they would be contacting me soon so we can do a group ride off road. Inca - another open invite if you want to join us at Coal Creek. I won't know the dates until they get with me.
OK .. As I walked in, I saw the Triumphs sitting just to the right of the doorway. Of course, the floor-full of Ducatis, Moto Guzzi's and $30k MV-Agusta's made me studder step - but I quickly refocused on the Triumphs. There was a T100 Bonneville, a Scrambler, and Thruxton 900 - all sweet machines, but I opted for their demo model Bonneville that was sporting a super clean look with lowered handlbars and low-azz pipes. Had to have it, plus they gave a great OTD price. I was SOLD!
Just came back from putting a quick 50 miles on her. Man this thing is ME. I'll get some better pics of it in the daylight when I have a chance.

Nice bike man... I love the Triumphs I see on the road... I was thinking about one of those new triples myself...

I think we need to find one of those old leather helmets and goggles and send them to Bonafide to complete his look.
After that, he can get his own bugs in his teeth...[sm=smiley20.gif]

RE: This bike makes me sick
That new 675 Triumph Sport Bike is supposed to be the best "600" sportbike this year. Kudos to Triumph for competing head to head with the Big Four, albeit with a bigger engine.
I find it funny that the 675 designwise is a total shameless copy of the Honda CBR600RR. As guilty as when the Japanese shamelessly copied the gorgeous Bonneville back in the 1960s.
