At the Piston Ring Club today, the annual R.A.T. (Riders Association of Triumph) meet was held with ice cold beers, sheep on the spit and a "mystery" new Triumph to be unveiled.

There were some good old classics...

The controls you see on the RHS of the handlebar are for the Cruise Control.

Then, some other info:

101 kw (135 hp) @ 9k rpm and 121 Nm @ 6k rpm.
20l tank
259 kg wet (fully fueled)
950w generator

Then, what everyone has been waiting for: price was announced at R 144,500 incl.  That excludes the spotlights, crash guards and bash plate you see on this unit, but I still think that is extremely competitive!!!
