Yep it's true, I still love my Ninja but there was a phantom bike that was seen only as a prototype and no release was imminent. Well it seems the bike is destined for the market in 2013, well at least the Euro market and maybe others. Not confirmed for the US but I have a feeling it will make it's way here eventually. On the plus side it will mostly likely be much more expensive than my Ninja and would have been price prohibitive anyway, otherwise ride the Ninja a few years and find a nice taken care of used one.

The 2013 Triumph Tiger Sport 1050...

I found it too high for comfort when I tested one a few years back.

The current Tiger 1050 is a bit high for me too, but manageable. According to the story this new Tiger Sport has a lower seat, well slightly lower anyway.
