The Rocket III Touring aims its classic good looks and strong dose of long-range comfort and convenience at the moto-traveler. Its features include a version of the torque-laden 2.3-liter three-cylinder engine from the standard Rocket III that has been retuned for even greater low-end power, plus frame, suspension, wheels, seat, fuel tank, instruments and lights that are specific to this model. Lockable hard luggage and a touring windscreen come as standard equipment, while spending another S300 lands you a sweet, two-tone paint scheme.

Gearheads are fond of saying there’s no replacement for displacement. Once you’ve opened the throttle on a Rocket III, you’ll no doubt agree with that line of thinking. Acceleration is effortless, the 140-cubic-inch engine producing eyeball-flattening, arm-straightening torque at any rpm and in any gear. Also available: The Rocket III Classic, the standard Rocket III fitted with a pullback handlebar, a stitched touring seal, different mufflers and forward-mounted floorboards for a more relaxed, cruising-oriented riding position.

Big Twin lovers looking for something different in a cruiser may find what they want with Triumph’s all-new Thunderbird. The 1600cc parallel-Twin is a clean-sheet design billed as a 2010 model, with the engine putting out some 80 horsepower and more than 100 foot-pounds of torque. It is counterbalanced for smoothness and fuel-injected for trouble-free operation. And to ensure that you can also stop this big musclebike, it’s fitted with triple disc brakes. Pitched as a power cruiser, the T-bird should live up to its billing. Also available: The Thunderbird ABS, the same machine equipped with anti-lock brakes.

This is a sport-tourer with a distinctly Triumph twist in the form of a rorty inline-Triple. The engine is the heart of this bike’s character, giving it enough personality to separate it from other class stalwarts, but also offering the smoothness and refinement to keep you satisfied on the long road. The Sprint is an approachable, fun bike for daily commuting, too, with excellent saddlebags, long fuel range and good wind protection. It also benefits from being somewhat smaller and lighter than the class big boys like the Kawasaki Concours 14. Also available: The Sprint ST ABS, the same bike filled with anti-lock brakes.

Let’s get one thing crystal-clear: Aside from its long-haul-comfortable upright riding position, the only thing the Tiger has in common with the previous model of the same name is just that its name. Dual-purpose aspirations’? Gone. Spindly, gaiter-covered fork legs? History. Semi-knobbed tires? No more. This Britbike is now FSA-full street ahead as indicated by its stout inverted fork, radial-mount front brakes and gummy 17-inch tires. Also available: The Tiger 1050 ABS, which is filled with anti-lock brakes: and the SE, with ABS, special paint, color-matched handguards and saddlebags standard.

Known throughout the world of motorcycling as the original production-line streetfighter, the CW Ten Best-winning Speed Triple is a bike well-suited to “your-license-may-be-in-peril” antics like wheelies and stoppies. This unfaired bad boy is equipped with all manner of performance-first parts: a fully adjustable inverted fork, radial-mount brakes, stubby dual mufflers and a single-sided swingarm painted matte-black to match the tubular frame. Claimed power is a stout 131 horses, which is delivered in a linear manner. It may scream “bad attitude,” but nobody but you has to know it is also a good all-around streetbike.

The Speedmaster is a drag-style take on the more classically styled America cruiser, distinguishing itself with blacked-out engine and transmission cases. slash-cut mufflers, dual front disc brakes mounted on entirely different cast wheels, a contoured dual seat and a narrower handlebar. EFI is new this year, as on all the Bonnie-based bikes, but otherwise, the Speedmaster runs the same air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder engine, double-downtube chassis, and front and rear suspension as the America. Available in solid black or two-tone for a little more money, the Speedmaster offers a stripped-down essential cruising experience.

You want custom? You got it. The America cruiser became a bigger and better motorcycle when the air/oil-cooled, jet-black (with chromed covers) parallel-Twin grew in displacement from 790 to 865cc a few years ago, but the big news this year is the adoption of fuel-injection. The bike exhales through reverse-cone mufflers that enhance its appearance. Other features include adjustable clutch and brake levers, nifty 12- spoke cast wheels and a comfortable passenger seat. The price can vary by as much as $200 depending upon color choice.

If this bike doesn’t conjure up images of exploring roads long forgotten by the rest of society or of sneaking out on a starry night just to feel the wind in your face, then maybe you should crawl back into bed, close your eyes and dream of the hereafter. Okay, we’re kidding. Well, not really. The Scrambler was created to enthuse and inspire. It’s based on the Bonneville, as its engine (now with EFI), chassis and basic shape suggest, but the rubber fork gaiters, dual high-mount exhaust pipes and semi-knobbed tires hark back to Triumph’s storied desert-racing heritage. Baja? Bring it on!

Strap on your knee sliders! The Thruxton is a faithful replica of the home-built roadracers that stormed across the English countryside from one pub to the next during the Sixties. Low clip-on handlebars, adjustable front and rear suspension, cut-down fenders, wire-spoked aluminum rims and a floating front disc brake separate this EFI-equipped parallel-Twin from the other similarly powered models that Triumph produces. Best of all. The Thruxton runs and rides as well as it looks, producing a claimed 69 horsepower.

The Bonneville got a bit of a makeover this year, with a rolling forward of its retro timeframe to the 1970s instead of the swinging ’60s. New are the upswept mufflers, shorter fenders, 1-inch lower seat and cast-alloy wheels. Like the other Bonnie-based bikes, the good-running air/oil-cooled parallel-Twin gets electronic fuel-injection, though the throttle bodies are designed to look like traditional carburetors! Also available: The Bonneville SE, with two-lone paint, a tachometer, polished engine covers and tank badges, all of which move the bike slightly upmarket.

Bikes don’t gel any more fundamental than the Bonneville T100. This back-to-basics modern classic is exactly what it appears to be: an engine and two wheels, allied with a simple frame and swingarm, topped with a traditional-looking gas tank, a mild-rise handlebar and a broad, flat scat. Like all the other Twins in Triumph’s lineup, engine capacity is 865cc. Also available: The 50th anniversary model with orange/blue paint to commemorate the first Bonnies sold in 1959; and the Bonneville Black, which, as its name suggests, gets the black-out treatment on the gas tank, the lenders and the engine cases.

As a testament to its overall goodness, the Daytona 675 went three years without revision and still was at the top of the middleweight sportbike class. Finally, for ‘09, Triumph has given the successful three-cylinder machine a makeover. Extensive work on the exhaust side of the engine (plus new, stronger connecting rods) helps boost claimed power and allow a higher redline. The upper fairing is restyled for a sharper look, while overall dry weight has been reduced with lighter wheels and muffler. Suspension was revised to include high- and low-speed compression damping, providing a better compromise between track prowess and road comfort.

Inspired by the liter-class Speed Triple, the Daytona 675-based Street Triple is one of the best naked bikes on the market. Its light weight and agile chassis make this one of the most fun and approachable machines you can buy. The price is pretty nice, too, although the base models inverted fork and single rear shock arc non-adjustable. Engine tune is weighted a bit toward lower-end power, but it retains the 13,500-rpm redline of the previous Daytona engine. Also available: The Street Triple R. with fully adjustable front and rear suspension, plus radial-mount front brake calipers.
