New Street triple range

[Kaneda80]

So i just read this

I have to say, i find half faired bikes kind of ugly, either go full faired or birthday suit.

still, an 800 version could be a nice one to bridge the gap between the street and the speed triple

First thoughts were it was a bit fugly. But having looked a few times, I think it looks ok. It doesn't have the class, style and uniqueness of the original though.

So the standard bike is +5bhp on the current one. But with an 800cc motor has to come extra weight no?

So that means opting for the STR or the 125bhp option. The RT is nearly £10k with the "option" of a half fairing. That's a £2k more than an MT09 Tracer!

I might be an idiot, but am I missing something.
The ST might be redundant now due to extra weight and little extra power, making the STR the only real option for the naked. And the other models are far too expensive for what they are compared to the competition.

All conjecture based on nothing. Will have to wait and see.

Pointless me even looking. They tend to have too high a seat for me.

I'm reading it as replacing the existing 675s rather than in addition to them.

Bug eyed freak version is still unapologetically ugly, the half faired is meh.

Such Top Trumps masturbation over peak power figures, very important to Paddy and Journo Jack on a test jolly, neither of whom will actually buy one new.

If it brings the price of pre-ragged 675s down a bit though, I'm all for it.

A Trizuki SV 800? Bandwagon much? Is it three cylinder?

[Oldie]

Had to laugh at the RT being branded as a sports tourer. Stupid seat and next to no weather protection. Just more marketing hype.

Mind you, surely they wouldn't be using the RT moniker unless it really was a genuine, mile munching, comfortable old man's bike.

[P.addy]

What the fuck is that...

No Triumph you thick cunts, Tiger for touring, Street for the coolest people around.

Need to really think about releasing ugly as fuck bikes with good triple competition around...

[MCN.]

Looks shite.

MCN is so full of shit,they have to bring out a paper every week with fresh news in a market that just doesn't move that quickly

I'd welcome an 800, with more power, next year please as my repayments end then

the prices are complete arse, if they don't compete with the tracer they'll sell poorly and they'll be giving away free accessories and low finance after 6 months to buy customers

and those spy shots? only the green one is a street (cosmic green, 2013 colour), the others are speed triples, single sided swingarms a dead giveaway

125 bhp and 'multiple rider modes'

Half-faired version looks like a Fazer ripoff.

Old round-headlights Triple was the best, the new bugeyes are too flat and timid-looking and do not complement the bike's curves as well as the round headlights did. Especially fugly without a flyscreen.

The Yamaha Tracer has been a massive success, so Triumph are jumping on the bandwagon - makes perfect business sense to me

By the way, these are MCN 'mock ups' so the faired one might not look like a Fazer.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I wonder which employee sold these pics as theres never anyone milling about around there haha. I live about two miles from the factory and you do see some weird and wonderful stuff along the A47/A5. Its in close proximity to MIRA too so they probably use the test track facilities there.

I should get my disposable out and camp on the roundabout outside the factory.

I get the point of the upgrade, but only if they keep it the same weight as previously.

What I don't get however, is the RS. So triumph are going to make a Street Triple model which absolutely dominates the Speed Triple R? I think this purported move is a good thing for the Street Triple but a bad thing for the Speed Triple.
