Went to the Triumph Dealer and nearly fell over!

Yesterday I went to the Triumph dealership
To get new tires the Michelin GT 6’s
I did ask when I was there I asked about the new Trophy and had it come out yet and one of the sales guy said yes!   

I nearly fell over, I’ve been busy at work. I’ve been riding when I can and I haven’t been spending a lot of time here on the forum.
But I thought for sure, one of the Twisted Trophies would have sent me a message letting me know.

So I said, yeah, let me go look at it, so the sales guy walked me over to the new Trophy ,,,,, unfortunately, it had a GS in front of the word trophy. It was one of those. BMWU’s.
At that I just hung my head and walked away.
I knew BMW was using the word Trophy so in case Triumph came back out with our beloved Trophy.
I mean, after all, the Trophy couldn’t be allowed to exist in the name because it was too much competition for the RT.

So I have the new Michelin GT 6’s on a real Trophy!

  for your new 6's.  I find them to turn very easily, making the Trophy extremely nimble in changing directions compared to other tires I've had.  It almost feels like a different motorcycle.  Too bad our choices in motorcycles of this nature are so limited now, that is unless you find a great late model with very low miles like I did!

That’s true, after all I’m only on my 2nd Trophy too.

So many Trophies so little Time!

Let’s see had a Silver Trophy, now a Blue one just a Black one to go.

Let's see, had a Blue one, almost got a black one, just couldn't bring myself to be that camouflaged, so ended up with another Blue one really just because it was a better buy.

 Several months ago, I too saw a GS in an Arizona BMW/Triumph dealership marked with "Trophy".  I thought it was just some competitive marketing scheme, until someone explained that BMW has been sponsoring an off-road rally called the Trophy race for years.  This GS model is just a tribute to that race and actually has nothing to do with Triumph's use of the name.

On the plus side it has a really nice brushed metallic blue paint scheme.  Probably quite appealing for someone looking to change rides.

Do you think one may be in your future?
