Triumph Speed Triple R review - Telegraph
Triumph's lone entry in the middleweight, do-it-all sector, the Street Triple, has passed us by since its debut in early 2008. Having ridden it, though, I now realise what I've been missing. It is one little gem of a motorcycle.
The original Street Triple was the unfaired, streetfighter version of the fabulous Daytona supersports machine, using the same frame and an engine very similar to the Daytona's 675cc triple. Changes to the camshafts, exhaust and intake systems reduced peak horsepower to 105bhp, while torque at lower revs was boosted to suit its less focused role.
