Re: [emrat:6169] Scrambler Battle

I'm kind of interested to see how the water cooled "Bonnie" will turn out.  It would be nice to have a bike with both classic lines and a more modern drivetrain.  I'm not a huge fan of water cooling (the only water cooled bike I've ever owned was my '01 T-Bird) but I know it's the wave of the future.  One thing they have needed for years on the Bonnie platform is another gear, so I hope they include that as well. 
 
I'm not crazy about them using the "street tracker" name when IMO they should recycle an old name from the past and call it the Speed Twin.

I saw your link also has a link to CW's Top 10 for 2014, 3 BMWs, 3 KTMS, and one each, Duc, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Indian.  Looks like Harley, Honda and Triumph have some work to do.

There have been "spy shots" of a retro Triumph, water cooled, with a 1000cc or higher engine.  But the name trade marked by Triumph appears to be "Street Tracker"
 
 
I am sure the "spy shots" are still a work in progress.  It will be interesting to see how it shapes up.

A Comparo to Triumph's looms in the future?
 
Comments to the article hint at major changes to the "Bonnie" line in 2016.  We'll have to ask John about that.
 
I want a Bonneville with the Street Triple engine and a 4.5 gallon gas tank, then we can go somewhere!
