Why call the naked 675 a Street Triple?
Many like off-road styled bikes, and the Tiger is the nearest to one they do, plus the best bike they make at present. So a baby one would hopefully appeal to those who don't like the other 675 models.

I wondered if they were saving the name for a stab at the 125 market.... But as is generally accepted, the 675 Tiger will be called Tiger Cub, or if it is isn't I'll be bloody surprised...

Tigress sold a few more, also under the guise of a BSA Sunbeam
They marketed a 3-wheeler Tina under the Aerial badge - sold about 10 !

Sure the pic's a photochop job.
Mix of 1050 Tiger and Street Triple.
They haven't even bothered to line up the exhaust as it passes thro the swing-arm.

I wonder if it'll be in the same price region as the Street Triple? Could be a good seller.

I saw one of those Kawasaki Versys on the road today. A little cutey it was too. So if Trump are looking at taking a similar package then i think i'll seriously consider one.

I had a ride on a Versys the other day and I found it to be quite a pleasant and entertaining little bike. And it looks quite nice in black, too!
