Re: New Speed Triple 1200
That new engine sounds radically different from the 1050 version. I hope they don’t ruin what that engine was all about.

Re: New Speed Triple 1200
That's a lot of power but both peak figures seem to be pretty high up in the rev range for a Triple.

Re: New Speed Triple 1200
Hopefully this new power is just an extension of the old engines curve. It'll be interesting to see the new curve against the old for sure.Kwacky wrote:That's a lot of power but both peak figures seem to be pretty high up in the rev range for a Triple.

Re: New Speed Triple 1200
Weight will be interesting as well. The current one feels a bit heavy and the engine is on the sluggish side. The last one I rode didn't feel very engaging. A speed triple should feel raw and hooligan like.

Re: New Speed Triple 1200
I always viewed the Speed as being a sluggish cruiser dressed as a naked.. but I haven't ridden one.

Re: New Speed Triple 1200
The one I rode was not sluggish but the pegs were too high for me, so I bought the MT-10.

Re: New Speed Triple 1200
I do agree Triumph need to move away from black, white and grey. There problem is they do not have a signature colour.

Re: New Speed Triple 1200
It looks like any other anonymous naked bike.
The headlights look insecty. And not in a good way.

Re: New Speed Triple 1200
We need to see the blue used on the 675, the Burnt Orange and Lime green, throw in some red and yellows....Kwacky wrote:Meh.
Can't we have some solid colours? Something to catch the eye?
