The Triple TRIUMPH Triples
You cannot desire for a more street fighter bike than the TRIUMPH Triples, can you? These are the ultimate road bikes in terms of the performance, their looks and the charisma they carry. Not may brands have a triple now-a-days and Triumph on the other hand also has the Daytona, the best 600cc sports bike in the world. This legendary marque from England has three triple engine roadsters in their garage.
The top of the line is the tough looking, higher spec version of the Street Triple is the Street Triple R. Not that the Street triple lacks anything, but if you want something outrageous, then this is it.
For a bike weighing just 189 kg, there is a huge amount of power at 132PS and 105 Nm of torque to effortlessly pull you at any gear. The R version is fitted with fully adjustable front and rear suspension, Nissin 4-piston radial front calipers and radial master cylinder. The upside down forks are anodised black to compliment an aggressive new Matt Graphite paint scheme with distinctive orange "R" graphics and two-tone black and grey stitched seat. And to add compliments to the look, the Magura tapered aluminium handlebars simply looks great. The engine is derieved from the class topping Daytona 675, this water-cooled three-cylinder 12-valve engine will outperform many a supersports bike with a top torque figure of at 11700 rpm. Its charecteristic strong low and midrange performance has been praised by all critics and motorcycle buffs and that makes it one of the best street bike available in the world currently. The close-ratio six-speed gearbox maximises the effectiveness of the engine’s impressive power and torque. Derived from the Daytona 675, the chassis is also derived from the Daytona 675 which means you will always get the supreme agility like a Super Sports bike. And although its not cheap at $9500, it will give you all your moneys worth and more.

And then we have the real monster, the SPEED TRIPLE. What can you say about the bike? Of course with Tom Cruise riding it in Mission Impossible II and then again by Carrie Ann Moss in Matrix, the rockstar status it enjoys has gone through the roof. In the words of the website, "It all started because we liked the idea of it. Its success is proof we are not alone." Most definitely, Triumph has hit the nail at the exact right place with this naked brute bike. Just standing there, it feeld like its going to blaze any track you throw at it. This litre cc bike belts out a whooping 132 bhp and so actually its a disguised super sport bike, only much better looking with the engine not hiding behind the plastics. Its sound is oh-so-damn-sexy. Those iconic twin headlamps just cant be mistaken for anything else but a Speed Triple. Those headlamps along with those tapered aluminium Magura bars, black multi spoke alloy wheels, minimalist rear section with clear lens LED rear light and twin short exhaust cans is any artist dream work. It has all the goodies you would want on your baby from twin Brembo 4-piston 4-pad radial calipers mounted on fully adjustable black anodised Showa USD forks to fully adjustable Showa monoshock rear suspension with single sided swing arm, this bike literally spells performance even without looking at the tech spec. The Speed Triple’s 1050cc, three cylinder engine has a very definite power for bottom-end torque for lighning fast pick ups and dont worry for the if you are the scorcher type, it will make you amply happy with its massive mid-range punch and an impressive level of overall power. Peak power is 130bhp at 9250rpm while peak torque of 77ft.lbf arrives at 7550rpm. Triumph also offers Keihin ECU to make the beast a step even better in terms of performance. At $11,200, this undoubtedly, is the best looking Street Fighter in the world. Ducati Streetfighter, eat your heart out!
