Triumph Speed Triple 1200

Nice - works for me just fine.

I like it.

Wish it had dropped a bit more weight though - original reports were of significant weight reduction.

The 3/4 shot with the two models makes the headlights look terrible, sort of out there by themselves in front of the forks, and really sticking out. Paper weights don't phase me much, it's all about how it rides.

Speed triples are supposed to make some people go 'yuck'. Part of the attraction. Black sheep. Hard edge, no bullshit.

I don't like expensive headlights. The round ones were cheap to fit a replacement car unit if you broke one. But that's the fashion. Thanks MV Agusta.

Bet it wheelies and stoppies da shiz.

Triumph have shrewdly made the stock incarnation so butt ugly that you are compelled to dress it in accessories to make it look good. As with the lights (no doubt changed only so that if you need replacements you're forced to buy "triumph" lamps). I'll bet retro-fitting the current round dual headlights and bracket is an absolute mission.

I'm sure performancewise it'll be wicked, but the in looks department it is overstylised, decidedly unTriumph and completed unSpeed Trip - they've managed to make an arse of an iconic (stripped to the bone, badass) bike.

Looks pretty good to me

Looks damn fine to me too!

Writeup and test ride in latest Motorcycle Trader. They love it and even a Trumpy undecided like me quite likes it. Glad to see they have dropped the seat height a weenie bit for folks like me with vertically challenged legs. That was my major problem with the last model.
