I’ve already commented elsewhere on this forum that Triumph are missing a golden opportunity by not creating a sport tourer based on the 1200 Speed Triple…
Another new contender…

If Guzzi had a dealer down my way I’d be booking a test ride, first new bike to gain my interest in quite a while.
For those of us on a constrained budget the sports tourer never went away 
selling my Sprint was the wrong thing to do, but needs must when the devil drives. Guzzi looks ok, piddly looking panniers mind. 
Yes, agreed on the panniers (unless their looks are deceptive), my '08 SprintST also had too small panniers. My recently bought B#W S1000XR only just passes the “will it take a full face helmet” test in both sides (plus 2 in the top box - just).
Nice to see the Guzzi has a sensible seat height, and looks comfy too. Plus shaft drive.
Come on Triumph, show us what you can do, not everyone wants an “Adventure” bike.
Its just parts availability and dealer numbers that bother me about smaller manufacturers.
Probably wrong of course.
Sweet bike.
A fair point. I do like Moto Guzzi though, from way back. It wouldn’t stop me buying one, if l’m honest. I passed a Le Mans a while back, couldn’t get over how small it looked 
It shouldn’t, but dealer accessibility (& bike reliability) is a significant factor in my choice of motorcycle. I had a Multistrada and the too frequent 3hr round trip from deepest Cornwall to my nearest dealer in Plymouth was a nightmare.
BMW having opened a dealer a few years ago in Falmouth just 20 mins away has much to do with my recent purchase.
Must admit I’m very interested in this.
Definatly going to have a test ride in the spring
Not sure sports tourer’s have ever gone out of fashion. There are still many from manufacturers on the road and loved by their owners.
Suzuki do one based on the gsx-s1000, looks decent too. I think its a pretty recent model and good value.
Is that the GT+ ???
Weird front end on that; taken a half decent looking bike and squished its eyes into its hooter… makes it look like a modern scooter from head on.
But I bet it does a cracking job!
Aye thats the one, I quite like the front
