TRIUMPHSpeed Triple 2008 - 2009

　　The Triumph Speed Triple was a series of motorcycles made by Triumph in 1994. The 1994 Hinckley was one of the first motorcycles manufactured in a streetfighter style without any aerodynamic plastic fairing.

　　In 2008, the Triumph motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Speed Triple, a naked machine that featured a mix of a powerful three-cylinder engine, a top-notch chassis, and an aggressive design.

　　The 2008 machine came with a host of technical and visual refinements, including a redesigned radiator cowl, a new subframe, a new LED rear light, Brembo front calipers, a black-anodized fork on the front, and a tapered anodized handlebar.

　　In the aesthetic department, the bike had standard features, such as a twin headlight system, a two-piece dual seat with an optional passenger cover, a single exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and seven Y-shaped lightweight wheels.

　　The bike was built on a tubular aluminum alloy perimeter frame with a 43 mm adjustable USD fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling.

　　As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm floating discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.

　　In the performance department, the 2008 Triumph Speed Triple had its soul brought to life by a 1,050cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 131 hp at 9,250 rpm and 104 Nm (77 lb-ft) torque at 7,750 rpm.
