2006 Model Year Rumours...you heard any? 3 Years, 5 Months ago  
I read this on the net:<br /><br />
<br /><br />Triumph executives have been quoted as saying &quot;Two entirely new models are coming for 2006&quot;. This is great news as Triumph has been highly successful with their Rocket III model introduced last year. The rumors suggest a new three-cylinder 650-800cc sport bike. The other bike rumored is a very large displacement parallel-twin similar to the current Bonneville line-up. This parallel twin would be built using 2 (out of the 3) cylinders from the Rocket III (1530cc displacement). This would make it the largest parallel-twin motorcycle ever manufactured by a major motorcycle manufacturer. <br /><br /><br />Yamaha is also buzzing with a new 2006 Yamaha FZ1. The new 2006 Yamaha FZ1 is rumored to use the more powerful and updated current Yamaha R1 engine with it&#039;s 150 horsepower. Also in the Yamaha rumour mill is another naked bike from Yamaha as Naked bikes are becoming more popular. <br /><br />Ducati, not to be out done is rumored to enhance their Ducati 999 to received a larger displacement engine, possibly a 1100cc. Will Ducati be able to now take the Japanese superbikes head-on? <br /><br />Suzuki is rumored to be adding not one, but two more naked bikes to their 2006 line-up. As we mentioned, naked bikes are gaining in popularity as riders are re-discovering the &quot;do-it-all&quot; motorcycle. <br /><br />The first naked bike is rumored to be a 1300cc seen at the 2001 Tokyo Motorcycle Show called the Suzuki Boost King (See photo above) http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/prototype-spy-concept/Suzuki-2001-BoostKing.htm <br /><br />The second naked bike, rumored to be a &quot;newly-styled naked bike&quot; with the GSX-R600 engine. <br /><br /><br />-------------------------<br /><br />You heard anything yet??
