Considering how long it was kept a secret, I assume whoever took the video will be looking for a new job Monday, if they are/were a Triumph employee lol.

The ol' "Whoopsie... A blurry video ACCIDENTLY got released that was filmed right next to the rider."

This is day one guerilla marketing stuff here. You guys know they dont make phones with that good of a microphone and that bad of a sensor? Right? You have to try pretty hard to blur up a video like that.

Im actually kind of impressed as this will bang onto a 20 pager. haha.

Billions of cameras now in the hands of the common citizen. Not one new decent video or image. Yey there are still idiots that believe it exists... Or the earth is flat... Or the election was stoled. LMAO!!

If it's true that the bike will be presented in the next one or two weeks, this seems more like a marketing move to me to push the hype.

Could developing the engine be as simple as copying a cylinder of one of their triples and  modifying it appropriately?

My thought as well.

The 760cc or so Moto2 spec triple would be a start. Pretty sure the bore diameter is within the MX2 limit.

They don’t need to win, they just need to finish, every week, the opposite of what Harley did with the VR1000 racing program. One they’ve established the program then we’ll see.

I would not be surprised if this bike has been in the wild for some time right infront of our faces, running plastics we already know from KTM as to not attract to much attention.

Interestingly, word on Facebook suggests the engine has been developed by a company very local to me! Interesting if true.

Cosworth?

Yes

If true, this little factoid alone would have me considering a 4-stroke again.

KTM plastics with an aluminum frame sure would catch me looking.

As per my earlier post, looking back I should have looked closer at what I thought was a prototype 24 Kawi that Tedesco was riding. Saw this 2 maybe 3 times in the last month out at Pala on a weekday. Thinks that make you go hmm

FWIW I typically don’t geek out on new bikes and can’t tell a new bike from one a couple years old unless it’s blatantly obvious. Guess I’ll get a closer look soon enough.

Have not seen anything to indicate ground breaking performance other than RC's lip service and paycheck.

I’ve been watching this play out for about 2 years now…and it’s genius. 

Plenty of teasers including RC’s hints…the Triumph crew walking the track at SX races…then the announcement…

And now…this? Pure genius.

All the while, I get the feeling the bike as “been around”…maybe even lurking around Southern California gettin’ fitted for certain “racing parts” and maybe even dyno runs and testing…

And still, nothing has leaked out.

Genius and proper management.

Do you mean, a company with a lot of F1 history and who already was on board with Dixon (Cosworth)? Or is it that other British company that still develops indycar engines (Ilmor)?

EDIT: Noticed that it seems to be Ricardo, that is also interesting...

Note: @-MAVERICK- Some people are indeed saying that they are going for KYB, but with Tedesco (former Pro Circuit & Showa test rider) and Desalle who mounted his private Yamaha on Willy Verstrepen Suspension, and he is the official suspension guy from Showa for WSBK, MXGP and I even think MotoGP but not sure about that. This is a picture from his suspension back than, could be that Willy did him a favor and did some work on his stock suspension, I've not enough technical knowledge to see what is in front of me.

So maybe they aren't sure yet? Off course Desalle has enough experience with KYB too, idem with Tedesco.

Well, if this is the real thing, it's very far from the "bike with its own personality" that RC described.

Styling, tech, from the very little we see, it's totally standard and disappointing.

looks like a fairly unique frame compared to most that are out there. 

Triumph should clown everyone, pull in on a murdered out Cannondale to screw with people!

It would have been caught, easy. 

I'd bet $ they have not brought the bike to a public track...

What if it's the new suzuki rmz ?

Suzuki frame, Coswort engine and KTM plastics they call it Thumph. Last time Suzuki cooperating with Kawasaki 2004 when they build most unreliable 4-stroke together.
