Looks nice. Hopefully weight has been decreased as well.

What's the reasoning behind keeping Harley style rotors on the base model though?

Very cool looking

I like the old one better.

Unlikely given the displacement increase and liquid cooling. Hope it is not entering the R9T price range.

No details on the weight but it is claimed to be lighter than the previous generation.

The new Twin, Thruxton, T120 are all beautiful. never been a fan of the old T120 styling but now it just works.

Standard Thruxton is unbelievably good looking. 90 deg. crank is way better than both pistons rising and falling in unison. Somebody finally came to their senses.

Totally fell in love with the Bonneville when I rented one in Vegas. Fun little bike and I 2 up'ed with my wife for hours without being sore.

These new bikes sound and look even better.

This bike has a 270 degree crank. (90 offset) The Triumph purist will be disappointed as it will sound like a V-twin but the bikes are stunning and hopefully they will not cost too much more than they are today.

It'll sound more like a 90deg. V-twin which is a good thing not 45deg. V-twin which is like Barley-Potatosen. And the old purists can only live so long amirite. It's the dawn of a era.
