Yep - just like the S10 was going to kill the maket for the 1200GS.
Ek wil nou nie snaaks wees nie Bollie, maar.....
Fact: Even BMW in its management forums have noted the arrival of the Super Tenere. Sales of the GS has fallen 50% vs budget and trends, yes half, since the introduction of the ST. Incidently, this 50% fall equates roughly to the number of ST's sold in SA.
My source is confidential, pm me if you want to discuss, I am not naming names in a public forum to boost my credibality.
The following is my opinion:
The Triumph is in the same market segment as the 800GS, but no, it will never have the same impact on the 800 as the ST had on the 1200GS, Triumph footprint is too small.
