Triumph's Speed Triple. March 2009

Peak power is 132PS (131bhp) at 9,250rpm while peak torque of 105Nm arrives at 7,500rpm. Triumph's second generation Keihin Engine Control Unit offers sophisticated mapping for quicker starting, cleaner running and fuel economic engine.

A rigid aluminium frame contains the engine and provides massive strength with steering geometry that gives fast steering neutrality plus great stability - the fully adjustable 43mm upside down forks and rear monoshock - specifically developed for the Speed Triple. The evocative single sided swingarm adds style and substance while the twin-level oval section exhaust pipes enhance the engine's distinctive and addictive induction roar. Top quality cycle parts include radial-caliper four-piston Brembo front brakes, Magura tapered bars, an all new subframe and redesigned multi-spoke wheels. These developments have already proved a big hit with Triumph customers, with strong demand making it once again one of the best selling bikes in the company's range.

Speed Triples are famous for being offered in a variety of eye-catching shades over the years, with the 2009 model coming in four alternatives: blazing orange, matt black, jet black and fusion white.

The Triumph Accessory range for the Speed Triple includes the popular Arrow three into one full race system (for circuit use only), as well as a host of other factory-approved parts. The list includes fat handlebars, high performance silencers (for circuit use only), belly pan, rear hugger and a wealth of carbon fibre parts and other cosmetic additions, such as the anodised radi

Triumph's Street Triple wowed the industry when it arrived in 2008. With performance combined with a highly competitive price, the Street Triple was a welcome addition to the Triumph streetfighter family, and a new entry point to Triumph's range of triples.

Through a potent combination of performance DNA extracted from the Daytona 675 and aggressive streetfighter styling drawn from the Speed Triple, Triumph created a desirable naked middle- weight motorcycle..

Packing a powerful punch of 108PS peak power (106bhp) delivered at 11,700rpm, and 69 Nm of torque arrives at 9,100 rpm. The proven 675cc water-cooled three-cylinder 12-valve engine delivers strong low and mid range performance, from tickover to the redline.

The Street Triple's aluminium frame comes directly from the Daytona and was specifically designed to take advantage of the narrow three-cylinder engine design. Rake is set at 24.3, with 95.3mm (3.75in) trail. The wheelbase is 1,395mm (54.9in), while dry weight is 167kg (367lbs). Braking power is at the top of its class thanks to the Nissin two pot sliding calipers with sintered pads.

The low dual seat and new footrests and handlebars provide a comfortable riding position for both rider and pillion without jeopardising the aggressive streetfighter styling of the bike. Many of the styling cues come straight from the bigger Speed Triple, including the distinctive bug eyed headlamps.ator cowl and heel guards.

Following on from the successful Street Triple, Triumph is introducing a new, higher-specification version, for 2009 - the Street Triple R.

With the Street Triple already regarded as a class leading middleweight streetfighter, the 'R' version takes the standard bike and adds a whole heap of attitude. The new Street Triple R comes brimming with race track technology. Fully adjustable 41mm upside down forks and a top spec rear monoshock unit with piggy back reservoir deliver sublime handling, while radially mounted four piston calipers grab the twin 308mm brake discs and ensure the Street Triple R stops as well as it goes.

At the heart of Street Triple R is the Street Triple's highly acclaimed fuel injected 675cc three-cylinder unit, producing 108PS at 11,700rpm, while its fully adjustable sports suspension and powerful four piston radial brakes are derived from the Daytona 675. The new Street Triple R has been designed to rival traditional supe sport machines with its superlative handling and stunning stopping power, while offering the comfort and attitude of a streetfighter. The sporty feel is completed with wide, tapered handlebars from Magura and a 5mm taller seat height that puts the Street Triple R rider in the perfect position to attack the twisty stuff or cut its way through the urban jungle.

The result is a motorcycle that can be finely tuned for all road and track conditions, offering a plush ride tailored to the individual rider, while bearing more than a passing resemblance to Triumph's Speed Triple.

Completing the Street Triple R's distinctive look is an all new colour scheme of matt graphite with orange graphics. A matt blazing orange option with grey graphics will also be available from early 2009. Both colour options are further enhanced by black anodised forks and a two-tone black and graphite seat. A full range of Triumph accessories are available for the bike, including practical and stylish flyscreens and a range of performance exhaust systems developed in collaboration with Italian performance specialists Arrow Special Parts.
