In 2009, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Speed Triple 15th Anniversary Special Edition, a unique machine celebrating 15 years of Speed Triple manufacturing since it was introduced back in 1994.
Since its introduction, the maker has sold over 35,000 units, and the Triumph owner, John Bloor, has authorized for the first time the use of his signature on the fuel tank for the special edition machine.
The 2009 special edition motorcycle was delivered in a Metallic Phantom Black color scheme with red pinstripes on the wheels that matched the 15th Anniversary Special Edition decals on the rear bodywork and flyscreen.
The unique motorcycle was based on the 2009 Speed Triple model. It was equipped with many additional items as standard, such as a color-matched belly pan, flyscreen, and a comfortable gel seat selected from the Genuine Triumph Accessories department.
In addition, with every special edition model, the maker offered customers an exclusive Speed Triple 15th Anniversary watch as a gift. The watch was unavailable to buy separately and only with the bike purchase.
In the performance department, the 2009 Speed Triple 15th Anniversary Special Edition model packed the same 1,050cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine as the standard 2009 model, fed by a fuel injection system, boasting 130 hp at 9,250 rpm and 104 Nm (77 lb-ft) torque at 7,750 rpm.
