Cosmetic Mods
-Custom Paint job (gloss black with silver metal flake stripe down the center of the tank and seat and front fender. White pinstriping on tank, seat and side covers. The black paint has a purple metal flake underpaint that sparkles in the sunlight; very subtle and classy!

-Custom cafe fiberglass seat with storage compartment and embedded rear light- This alone cost me 2k! Now you don't have to worry about storing your wallet, phone, and other small accessories. The seat is a functional storage compartment. It's large enough that I can fit an iPad mini, sunglasses, wallet phone, gloves, goggles and other small accessories. Plenty of space! The seat is secured by 2 screws that slide into the holes of the seat pan. Once in place, the seat is secure and does not move. The seat frame was shortened and the fiberglass seat was built around it; truly a custom job. This gives the bike that classic cafe racer look!

Triumph Announce New Street Triple Lineup For 2023

Wed, 02 Nov 2022

Limited Edition Street Triple Moto2 Edition Headlines The Show Triumph has announced a shakeup to its ever-popular Street Triple range today, introducing not one, but three evolutions to the family, creating what it says is “the most powerful Street Triple range ever.” Building off the success it has forged by being the sole engine supplier for the Moto2 racing category, Triumph now introduces the Street Triple R, Street Triple RS, and the Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition – the latter of which will be relegated to just 765 units worldwide. Unlike Honda, whose CBR600RR engine was the basis of the Moto2 category during its birth, Triumph has used the racing category to advance the 765cc three-cylinder engine shared between the race bikes and production bikes. The latest Street Triple range is the beneficiary of those advancements.

A thing of beauty?

The weather was pretty good over the weekend and I managed to get 500 miles in and become better acquainted with the Speed Triple. I’m still running it in but as it’s reputation suggest the bike doesn’t disappoint. There are some noticeable differences over most other naked bikes I’ve ridden, you could call them quirks, but i'll talk about those in a week or so.

Triumph Teases Speed Triple 1200 RR Prototype

Tue, 17 Aug 2021

Faired Speed Triple tabbed for 2022 model year Triumph has started teasing a new faired version of the Speed Triple across its social media channels. Details remain scarce, as Triumph seems to have planned a long teaser campaign (and we know how much our readers love those), but we can form some conclusions based on the images we’ve seen, and on the name: the Speed Triple 1200 RR. From the name, it’s obvious the sportbike will be based on the Speed Triple 1200 RS, with a similar cast aluminum frame and 1160cc Triple which claims 177 hp at 10,750 rpm and 92 lb-ft.
