More 2001 Streetbike Rumors

by Dirck Edge

We've been hearing a lot of talk lately about a re-designed Honda VTR1000 Super Hawk. Possibly with fuel injection, upgraded suspension, and new styling.

Aprilia, which has already announced that it will debut a sport tourer next month, should have one or more versions of its bike in 750cc capacity. First up should be the 750cc v-twin RSV -- to be homologated for World Supersport racing along side Ducati's 748.

Would you believe a TT 750 from Triumph? There is a rumor that such a machine is being developed, using the TT 600 in-line four-cylinder as a starting point. Wouldn't it be ironic if Triumph entered World Superbike competition on a 750cc in-line four cylinder bike, rather than a 900cc three cylinder?
