It was then fully and professionally restored by Bill Hoard, of Midland MI in 2007 this rebuild entailed a complete strip-down of engine and cycle parts. The engine was blueprinted and balanced, frame powder-coated, tank and mudguards etc. painted and parts replaced as necessary.

Judging from its looks alone, it’s plain to see that this is no ordinary Speed Triple. Triumph worked in close collaboration with Öhlins, to fine tune the NIX30 43mm fork and TTX36 shock to work specifically for the Speed Triple R.
