‘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.
MOST people who know me will tell you that I’m the epitome of urban. I’m so urban, I haven’t seen a tree since 1997 and when I do venture out of the city, I bring bottled exhaust fumes with me just in case I get sick from inhaling clean air.
