Speed Triple

Attitude. Given a single word to describe the Speed Triple, that would be it. A stripped-back naked roadster with sport bike performance and power, the Speed Triple was introduced in 1994, inspiring a new generation of riders and introducing the term ‘factory-streetfighter'. Sharing its underpinning with the Daytona 900, its aggressive stance, minimalist style and thrilling torque-heavy, signature triple engine secured its position as THE original hooligan. Every generation more powerful and with better handling than the last, the Speed Triple has been constantly evolved to always deliver the perfect balance of power, handling, capability and aggressive style, securing its place as a modern British motorcycle icon. From the T509’s introduction of those distinctive twin headlights and single swingarm to three generations of major engine evolution, lifting the original 855cc in 1994 to 1050cc and delivering a staggering step up in power to today’s thrilling 150PS and 117Nm of torque. The Speed Triple has appeared widely across film and TV and since its inception has become ingrained in popular culture. From Trinity in The Matrix to Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible II and Ryan Reynolds in The Hitman’s Bodyguard, actors, producers and directors have chosen the Speed Triple for not only its looks but also its performance during high-octane stunt scenes. The new for 2018 Speed Triple S and RS are without doubt the greatest ever, with the next generation triple engine delivering 10PS more power and a staggering 117Nm of torque. They have the highest-ever level of rider technology, with new optimised cornering ABS and traction control and full-colour TFT instruments, and the highest-ever level of specification, with fully adjustable suspension and Brembo brakes. Combine all this with a weight saving of 3kg on the new RS and all of the aggressive nose down attitude and style and you get the sharpest, best-handling Speed Triple ever.
