If the Speed Four vs FZ6 vs SV vs Hornet tests were anything to go by, the street triple will be in a class of it's own (performance and price wise).Yea, I'm looking foward to it arriving, will then have to choose between a Street Triple, Suzuki GSR600, Hornet 600 or similer when I get my full.

Prediction: Triumph will sell thousands of these. Possibly not in New Zealand, as the naked segment isn't as well established as it is in other markets.

Well I think it was a mistake placing the centrestand at the rear above the number plate holder. Look at that poor bugger above trying to get it onto the stand. I guess with parking spaces being at a premium in the UK, they thought parking bikes vertically might catch on!
That black one looks fantastic. Triumph may find this baby steals sales from the 1050cc Triple though.

Short review from MCN:
Triumph reckons the new Street Triple is an entry level model. If that’s the case, then it could attract a whole lot of people to motorcycling — and Triumph’s only problem will be persuading them to trade up to another motorcycle.
After a day spent carving up and down the Alpine foothills near Lake Garda in northern Italy on the new Triumph Street Triple, I’m struggling to think of another motorcycle I’d rather have been riding. The Triumph blends the style and character of the Speed Triple in a lighter, more manageable but still thrillingly quick and sweet-handling package.
A stripped-down middleweight streetfighter has been on the cards ever since Triumph launched the Daytona 675 last year. The Street Triple uses essentially the same 675cc three-cylinder engine and aluminium frame, and looks like making just as much of an impact.
Apart from the new exhaust and some tweaks to the injection system, the only engine-related change is a pair of softer camshafts, which boost low-rev power while dropping peak output from the Daytona’s 123bhp to 107bhp at 11,700rpm. For a middleweight the Triple was brilliant from low down. Throttle response was flawless, and when we reached the hills the motorcycle powered out of hairpins with less than 3000rpm on the clock, lifting its front wheel on demand to show that it’s almost as much of a juvenile delinquent as its big brother.
It handles well, too, with well-judged suspension rates and decent brakes. My only slight problem in corners was that, being very tall (6’4”), I found the footrests slightly high and rear-set, due to their proximity to the low seat. In other respects the Triple’s respectably practical. Its mirrors were useful; the seat was reasonably comfortable despite being quite narrow. The 17.4-litre tank should generally give a 120-mile range, traceable on the Daytona-style digital display, which incorporates a fuel-consumption reading and lap-timer.
It was a tough task for Triumph to match the Daytona 675’s impact with a naked follow-up, especially while keeping the price down to attract new riders to the marque. But in its own very different way the Street Triple is every bit as good.
It combines the Daytona’s engine performance, chassis layout, character and light weight with the Speed Triple’s aggressive naked style to make a stunningly lively and agile machine that is easy to ride and brilliant fun. Combine that with a competitive price of £5349, and it’s hard to see the Triple being anything other than a hit.

I can't afford it.
I'll have a white one.

Hrm, just reading stuff on the Triumph site. The specs dont mention anything about suspension adjustment, and they say only 2 piston front calipers? wtf?
I hope the suspension thing is just a lack of information and they haven't just cheaped out with non-adjustable stuff.
As for 2 pot calipers, errrr. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Oh, and Black for me please.

I prefer non-adjustable suspension. It's quite simple to sort out. Get the front setup specifically for you (springs, cartridge inserts, etc) and then go buy an Ohlins for the rear.
Done.

I prefer fully adjustable (errr not as far as high and low speed damping. That shit is wack!). No forking around with springs (unless you're way out of the weight range the bike was designed for), nothing to take apart. Tweak and done.
Forum whore
Wanna know something scary Devil? Only two (3 really) bikes I've ridden in 25 years have had anything approaching decent suspension straight from the manufacturer. Honda RC30, and Triumph TT600 (Speed 4 too of course). Everything else I've ridden could easily be improved by spending less than $2000. I'd rather the manufacturer offered their product with that less than $2k of improvements stock. How about optional springs for different sized riders for instance, as part of the purchase price? There aren't many Kiwis who aren't female that fit the weight range of a stock spring in a Gixser for instance.

I suppose I'm spoiled then. I'd prefer not to have to spend money on making a bike do what i'd hope it'd do straight from the factory.
Hrmmph.
Man, you are too square.
I think he's trying to grind a bit off the 40ft long plate holder that Triumph seem to think looks great on their stock standard bikes.
