Still, Triumph owners/fans have been waiting for a litre Daytona for a looong time. I can't wait to add this to the stable - the Striple could use a friend. 
Couldn't say it any better myself.
MUCH talk over a 1liter triple, but just mere talk and speculation. This is probably the 5th artist rendering of what may be. In sport bike terms, a 1 liter triple is an oddball combination.
Quite a few sportbike magazine editors and critics stated that such an engine would be quite ostintatious in size, thus really making it difficult to fit into a well sorted sportbike frame, entirely exlusive of any potential performance limitations this combo may experience.
I know Triumph is set on just twin's and triples, but i think they'd have to really look around and play their hand carefully if they want to create a bike as sensational as the 675 when it first came out, if they still do plan on making a triple that'll compete or exceed the Jap 1000's.
I'm not holding my breath for this to come out though, if I see it before 2011 then I'd be very surprised personally.
We'll see. I may end up trading my 675 for one if its as awesome of bike as the 1st gen 675 was when it first came out.
