The time of the ground-to-ground missiles has perhaps returned. Undoubtedly, urged on by the Japanese and transalpine supersonics (Kawasaki ZZR 1400 and GTR 1400, MV Agusta F4 1000 312 R and Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa), the brits from Triumph are working on project Hurricane 1300 (what a cheesy name!!).
According to sources, this project had been initiated long back but was put to sleep to take on other projects including Rocket 3, Speed Triple, Tiger 1050 and Street Triple, but no ones complaining as these products have only made Triumph richer. But, Triumph is
back to working on the 1300 Hurricane (actually sporting a 1275cc engine with around 200 horses!) to make it compete with the ZZR 1400 / new Busa, and nudge the 200mph / km/h mark.
The above picture is obviously a photoshop work but sources believe this is how the bike will
look.
Also, heres another picture of the project bike...
