‘IT’S not that powerful’ I found myself saying to a mate before getting on a flight to Barcelona for the launch of the new Triumph Speed Triple. ‘Only about 140hp.’
The Speed Triple S has been updated for 2016 with a new 1050cc three-cylinder engine that features 104 new developments and it also gets an electronics package plus a slipper clutch and Brembo monobloc brakes.
Three all-new versions - Street Twin, T120 and Thruxton - with 900cc and 1200cc liquid-cooled engines | Ride-by-wire throttle, traction control and riding modes as standard
