I heard from a guy who knows a guy that the moment you buy one the voice in you’re head changes to sound like Jeremy Clarkson, James May or Richard Hammond.

The US model is spelled with an “F”, just like it sounds. Triumf.

They should make a new section in the forum for all this lame stand up comedy, very frustrating have to read through so much crap to try see if anyone’s posted a legit answer to the thread. What a waste of time.

Do you think the first real pictures of this bike are going to show up buried in one of these Triumph threads and if you don’t read   every post you’re going to miss it and be late to the party ?   If so then I agree with you. You are wasting your time

Fair enough, I will cop that, I just reread the first post and sure enough I didn’t realize it wasn’t a serious thread.

In the SxS world is the particle separator. Don't really know how it works, but it's supposed separate and remove the dust to allow only clean air to the intake. Very expensive but is supposed to work really good. Maybe some version.

So you're saying it has a built in Dyson vacuum.

Since it’s British we know it doesn’t come with a dental plan.

Watching the video now, I took that line to mean more, "it is definitely not another fucking KTM!"

Ricky seemed to stumble a bit when talking about that criticism, like he suddenly went, "oh shit, am I allowed to say KTM?" and distanced from that idea as much as he could.

Listening to the Weege podcast, everyone mentions the bike is "total different" and "like nothing else". 

What is the difference do you think?

2 cylinders? Hybrid drive? Front Intake? Twin shock?

   My guess , I was thinking I bet they might use that wildly different front suspension design. Ribi front link type front suspension. Maybe possible.

All good just bustin your chops. When it does happen though you’re right there will probably multiple threads to sift through. 
 “All new never seen technology before” and especially “No air filter” seems like a hint to electric.  God I hope not

My sources say the bonnet is unlike any other dirt bike.

When I hear "totally different" i think two things... 1. Cannondale (yipes!).... or 2. They are lying to build hype... hopefully they are just lying...

Just because you can only think of two things doesn't mean there are only two things....

My sources within the Triumph factory tell me it will have heated grips & feature a rain canopy for our British summers!

You know I thought it was kind of a click bait title. I did not hear anything during the interview that said the bike had anything new or different. I just got from it that is was ready to go and a solid bike. I doubt that Triumph is trying to reinvent the wheel here. BMW tired that with disastrous results. I bet the bike is going to be very much like all current bikes on the market. The big question is probably steel or aluminium frames.

Definitely some eccentricities on this bike:
👑 Comes equipped with something called "tyres"
👑 Seat and side covers made of a rich combination of tartan wool and tweed
👑 Requires proprietary HP sauce based crankcase lubricant
👑 4 ECU maps: smooth, standard, aggressive, and bloody mental innit!
👑 Only current mx bike that wears a hat

I’ve also heard it comes with the grips safety wired, stock. But, instead of safety wire they’re using dental floss

Got a laugh with this. I headed down to Dublin for the 120 years ride out to celebrate Triumphs big milestone 100 mph + the right wing mirror on my tiger 900 rally pro rotated & would only stay put below 60 mph. I had a small piece of dental floss & wound it around the threads of the mirror. It worked a treat. 
 

I think the difference the MX bike is going have is a phone charger installed as standard Dry

In fairness, I entirely live up to that stereotype and I know quite a few others 😂 One day I'll end up on one of those posters that dentists use to scare kids into keeping their shit together.

As for the bike, I reckon a fair dose of carbon / composite is quite likely as some already said, it makes sense.

Whatever it is, between the company and their chosen team and staff, they're more than capable of turning out a contender so it'll be interesting to see what the reality is.

Either that or 3 spoke steelies like a PW50, to put the Tri in Triumph.
