2009 Triumph Speed Triple

It all started because we liked the idea of it. Its success is proof we are not alone.

The sound, character and sheer power of the 1050cc triple engine delivering 130 bhp is at the heart of this stripped-for-action rebel.

Iconic twin headlamps, tapered aluminium Magura bars, black multi spoke alloy wheels, minimalist rear section with clear lens LED rear light and twin short exhaust cans.

Minimalist the styling may be, but when it comes to specification maximum is the more appropriate descriptor.

Twin Brembo 4-piston 4-pad radial calipers mounted on fully adjustable black anodised Showa USD forks. Fully adjustable Showa monoshock rear suspension. Single sided swing arm.

The Speed triple is tougher than ever and determined to defend its rightful position as the definitive factory streetfighter.
