America Spy Shots Of 2018 America !!!

Mmmmmm......... not so sure I like this !!!

 

No, thats a bobber under there, be the 1200 motor. Article said it looked like all the extra's are bolted on, maybe why it looks a bit of a mish-mash. Rider does look like he's sat too far forward tho' !!!

 

Looks same engine frame to me and bobber is 1200 !!!!

 

Too much work building that rear subframe and all the bolt on bits look to be triumph extra's. Say the were testing the bike and all the bits at the same time, they have to be to pass the german rules of all extra's being factory approved, IIRC ( @Winglad ?)

 

That's not new, that's same as the old one and same since 2010 ish and now out of production.

American site, they are always behind the times - they still measure in feet and inches !!!! (once cost nasa over $10million dollars by using wrong conversion for a part manufactured overseas and had to get it scrapped !!!)

 

I'm no expert but looking like a variation of the bobber to me!

 

It's what Triumph are doing now, Scrambler is now a kit of parts rather than a seperate model, etc.

Not seen MCN, but if it is a bobber version, doubt very much there will be a seperate Speedmaster / America model realised as well, so this could be it. But can't be a bobber, cos is that not a cruiser stripped of all the useful bits !!!!

Whatever it is called, see it as the new "America/Speedmaster" and a replacement model to cover them, with various bolt on kits called America & Speedmaster !

 

Agree with both of you, T120 would have been a better base, along the lines of what was done with the current America/Speed. The rider and pillion accomodation look really squished up, compared to the old model.

The difference between the Scout and the Bobber (sorry bobber owners, just my opinion), is the scout looks beautiful from all angles. If they had built it to be 2 up, I probably be riding a Scout now.

Will wait to see it in the flesh to reserve final opinion, but doesn't look good from that picture.
