900cc, water-cooled, $10,000+US.
Give it a few years, it will probably go to 1200cc.
Still no Thunderbird.

I wish, but i doubt it. But even at 900 i have been contemplating one to save my Tbird for long distance/high speed use. I want a smaller easier to maintain bike with far cheaper maintenance/MPG so i can ride more, and i want cast wheels. So being i dislike the speed twin the street is my only option. I like it but i'd rather have a T120 with cast wheels but since that doesn't exist i may go with a street. But i'm waiting till prices normalize and at that point i may change my mind and look at the T120 again even tho i hate spokes. I'd love a 1200 ST but knowing triumph's reasoning behind the models i don't see it happening.
