Motorcycle test: Triumph Speed Triple: Look in my eyes

With a few, thoughtful changes, the triumph engineers of the Speed Triple have adopted. Nothing has come out less than another motorcycle. But one who is still worth his money.

The edges have shifted: The tank has become rounded out, the eyes square, a fact that the minds of fans ignited when the new triumph Speed Triple was presented last fall. But at all discussions around the now polygonal view of the Britin, a little bit in the background that essentials has done around the 1050 cubic centimeter large three-cylinder engine. Although the engineers are largely trusting their undeniable qualities and have only a little modeled the torque curve, but in combination with the newly designed chassis including ABS (600 euros surcharge) and the weight distribution to the front wheel you can already after the first curves you can Seats another motorcycle.

Even more handiness

So the rounder and now partially in plastic tank a few centimeters shorter and the driver slipped around 2.5 centimeters forward. More important but still is that the weight distribution is now more on the front wheel and the steering head became steeper. That makes Speedy more scary, handy and targetous. In addition, the chassis at the hind hand now less rough up and has reduced the setup torque. Of course, this can not be due to the super-sporting pneus of Metzeler (Racetec K3), because the goods already installed in the predecessor model – but now in the 190s format.

Fast faster, fast slower

The character of the three-cylinder with 1050 cubic centimeter displacement has hardly changed. Powerful and clumsy, he continues to work, pulls evenly up to 10,000 tours and ensures huge driving pleasure, even if he does not scream as orgiastically as his smaller brother in Street Triple. Incidentally, he did not give himself very thirsty: We came with 6.5 liters at 100 kilometers, despite two people’s tours.
The powerhouse of famoses is braked, for whose operation a finger is enough, so handy and good doseable are you. Thanks to the standard steel flex brake leads. If required, the ABS regulates inconspicuous and effective. From its predecessor, the fittings can be easily readily accepted at any time, which are equipped with tank clock, but not with a gear indicator. Sporty highly attached are the footpegs, so that the knee angle is quite tight especially for large pilots.
As far as the adrenaline factor is concerned, we can only judge the limited. Because this always depends on the sound. And this was caused in our test machine by an attachment of the company arrow from the Triumph accessory program and is likely to be the most accustomer and also louder than the as standard built pots.
Especially the bubbling in the sliding operation from high speeds allowed the level to rise before each curve – but unfortunately also the price for whopping 1039 euros. With 11 245 euros, the Speed Triple is without extras in the price list; A sacrifice that appears appropriate, finally you get a lot of motorcycle for the money.
