I heard they were coming out with a liter bike and were working on a triple as well. I have no interest in a 1000 cc sport bike, and if I were, I would probably buy a Japenese bike based on price AND they have been working on the technology on these liter bikes far longer than BMW has.
I will be curious to see if they produce a triple as I test rode a Triumph Street Triple about 3 weeks ago and I must say that I was impressed. Fun factor was high and ergonomics were great, although touring might be a different story with not a lot of options for screens or luggage.

I had a 99 Triumph Sprint ST with the 955 triple and it is an awesome motor. The 1050 is no doubt even better. I Ttaded it for my R1200R (which also has an awesome motor).

I did try the Tiger as well. Tall bike, but very comfortable. I liked it too. We didn't go anywhere I could open it up a little.Try the Tiger. Same motor plus touring ergos.
The Street Triple doesn't have the 1050 motor. It has the 675 triple thats in the Daytona. Very quick and very responsive!!

My bad. I was thinking the Speed Triple.
