TIDBITS / NEWS / EVENTS
What an exciting time! The motorcycle manufacturers are going to start announcing their new models for 2021. I have been so fortunate to have been involved in the release of new motorcycle models for 44 years. It is so exciting to see what each brand has to offer, and to inspect and compare all of the new features and specifications. Whether you are shopping for a new bike or just enjoying seeing all of the new product it is a lot of fun.
I look back at all of the new motorcycles I ever owned, and those memories are priceless. Let’s not allow the massive negativity that seems to surround us to affect our passion for life. Especially our passion for motorcycles and riding. I know that every time I go into my garage it gives me such a nice feeling to see the motorcycles sitting there looking absolutely beautiful.
Go out and polish your bike, put a new accessory on it or maybe even start shopping for a new one. Just enjoy our motorcycling life!
The Triumph Trident is Unveiled
Details are fairly thing on the ground at the minute, we won’t see engine and tech specs for another week or so, but this is the 2021 Triumph Trident.
Pitched as a rival to bikes like the Honda CB650R, the Yamaha MT07 and the Kawasaki Z650, the Trident looks set to capitalise on those that aren’t looking for Street Triple performance or specification. A bustling sector and one that Triumph clearly wants a slice of.
The bike you’re looking at is the bike we touched, it’s a pre production prototype that gives little away. The brakes are base spec two piston calipers and the fork tops had no adjusters. Aside from giving an indication of the kind of performance, this also hints that the price tag shouldn’t be one that scares people away. The engine looks a lot like the 675 of old, but that would need some work to bring it up to EU emissions compliant standards.
