2011 Triumph Speed Triple launch

VISORDOWN'S at the launch of the all-new 2011 Triumph Speed Triple at Ascari Circuit, Spain, and here's a first look at the new machine at the stunning 5.8km racetrack.

Our wizened-but-brisk tester Mark 'MF' Forsyth has greased his way onto the event and will be firing back some cunning words on Triumph's latest machine as soon as he's worked out how to get an internet connection and a phone signal.

So check back later* for some form of report on the all-new triple.

*Exact publication time dependent on whether MF takes the circuitous route back to his hotel room via the free bar.
