Triumph says that its Trophy SE was designed with obsessive attention to detail, a point thats confirmed by the addition of electronically adjustable suspension, traction control, an audio system with Bluetooth and iPod compatibility, cruise control and more. As if all this werent enough, on the performance side of the platform sits a 1215cc engine that puts power down via a shaft drive.
Triumph Tiger Explorer

Triumph claims that its sold over 70,000 Speed Triple models since the bikes inception back in 1994, and those numbers were likely to see a jolt with last years introduction of the Speed Triple R. Both the standard model and Brembo/ Öhlins-equipped R model go untouched for 2013, but likewise feature an untouched MSRP.

$11,599 /$13,499
Engine L-C 12V 675 Inline-Triple | Seat Height 32.3 in./ 32.7 in | Wheelbase 54.1 in.
The middleweight class receives stiffer competition for 2013 in the form of a new Triumph Daytona 675 /R, both of which benefit from a retooled engine, slipper clutch, geometry changes and a new under-engine exhaust. In addition, the standard 675 will roll on updated KYB suspension and the R model on its already proven Öhlins components.
Triumph Tiger 800
$10,999
Engine L-C 12V 800 Inline-Triple | Seat Height 31.9 32.7 in. | Wheelbase 60.2 in.
The smaller-displacement Tiger rolls onto showroom floors with the same specs as in 2012 but will be available in a new Sapphire Blue color option. Like the Tiger Explorer, the Tiger 800 will offer variable seat heights and come with an adjustable handlebar that allows for a perfectly tuned riding position. ABS remains an option for 2013, claims Triumph.
Triumph Street Triple /R
$9399 / $9999
Engine L-C 12V 675 Inline-Triple | Seat Height 31.5 /32.3 in. | Wheelbase 55.5 in.
Triumphs ever-popular Street Triple has received a healthy dose of revisions for 2013, each of which is similar to the updates made to the Daytona models. At the forefront of the list is a chassis thats lighter by means of fewer pieces and an under-engine exhaust that further contributes to the Street Triples 13-pound weight reduction. ABS is standard on both models.
Yamaha FJR1300A

Yamaha YZF-R1
$14,290
Engine L-C 16V 998 Inline-Four | Seat Height 32.9 in. | Wheelbase 55.7 in.
After being injected with a dose of MotoGP technology in the form of traction control last year (among other updates), Yamahas literbike contender returns unchanged for 13. Color combinations are Rapid Red/Raven, Matte Gray, or the Team Yamaha Blue/White shown here that adds $200 to the MSRP.
Yamaha YZF-R6
$10,990
Engine L-C 16V 599 Inline-Four | Seat Height 33.5 in. | Wheelbase 54.1 in.
Yamahas middleweight ripper is an absolute weapon on the racetrack, as Cameron Beaubiers seven victories in the AMAs Daytona Sportbike class will attest to. No changes for 13, although the R6 is also available in the Team Yamaha Blue/White livery that adds $200 to MSRP. Standard colors are Rapid Red/Pearl White and Matte Gray.
Yamaha FZ1
$10,790
Engine L-C 20V 998 Inline-Four | Seat Height 32.1 in. | Wheelbase 57.5 in.
Think of the FZ1 as an upright R1 ready to take on the world, Yamaha says of its ultimate street brawler. And with a previous-generation R1 engine, upright seating position and ample wind protection, the FZ1 is set for pretty much anything. The FZ1 is unchanged from last year, and Cobalt Blue is the color for 13.
Yamaha FZ8
$8890
Engine L-C 16V 779 Inline-Four | Seat Height 32.1 in. | Wheelbase 57.5 in.
The FZ8 has been updated with a new, sportier muffler shape and fuel injection settings that improve throttle response. The suspension is also upgraded, with the front fork now fully adjustable and the shock sprouting a rebound adjuster along with a stiffer spring. All that makes it an even better bang for the buck.
