Bike test Triumph 1050 Speed Triple

The Speed Triple is without doubt the most emblematic model of the Triumph range. It's no surprise, therefore, that it regularly receives technical, aesthetic and mechanical updates.

i love naked bikes. Thats probably all i will ever buy, but what is the big deal with going over 100mph. Thats the reason why people dont like motorcyclists is because of all the retards disobeying EVERY road rule. Seriously keep it under 100mph. I love just going on super curvey(?) roads.

Looks so much better in jet black

To everyone sooking about. "why go over 160kmph", ever heard of a race track? I took my '10 speed triple around Phillip island circuit and I was maxing out 2/3 of the way down the straight at 235kmph. Even 600's were pulling away after that. And it isn't unstable at all at high speed, just lie on the tank and hold on!

I love bikes because it's so entertaining to just slide through the streets, especially more casual curvy roads.

Strangely my wife prefers riding on the back of the speed triple, than on the back seat of our touring bike, a Triumph Trophy. She says its easier to get on and off of, and the seat is more comfortable. I never would have guessed it.

Noce but my question is, can I take my wife for a ride on this thing? The pillion seat doesn't look very serious.
