Not too keen on it myself, and I usually like the look of Triumphs. I still can't get on with the new lights and the exhaust just looks generic. Of all the things they should have changed, those cheap-looking heel plates were at the top, yet here they are again.

I never did like the lights.

Looks like it's wearing a toupé.

I'm not a huge fan of the new lights. But they don't look as bad in person as in pictures. Something I could live with.

The exhaust however shows no imagination at all. It looks the same as many other bikes. Blocky, angular and generic. If they wanted to make a nice looking side exit they just have to take some cues from the arrow race pipe they sell as an option.

Still wouldn't say no to one if one came up cheap.

I like it. Feels 'minimal'

[banditjohn]

EEEErrrr, no don't like it one bit and normally like trumpets

[Dilyan]

I find it good, tbh. It's just a bike, simple, clean, straight, no mess, no fuss. If its built to last - looks like a good buy. Hardly anything is nowadays. Sad

It looks unfinished to me, like theres big gaps and things missing!

The shock is well hidden!

Big question has to be 'How much?'

I'm not overly keen on the look of the exhaust, but it is way better than the ghastly high level things they've supplied as standard until now. As Rowey said, the best looking pipe I've seen on street/speeds is the low level Arrow pipe.

[WannaBeDude]

What is it with loadsa bike makers using them shape cans ! i NO like them ...

As a 08 Striple owner I gotta say I like it...I don't mind the headlights, exhaust is OK, be better with an aftermarket...Needs a tail tidy though..

The headlights look like they came off of a faired bike and was sort of an afterthought, I preferred the round headlights on the triples. I do like the minimal exhaust though, bit like the one on my gixer. It does look pretty

New Triumph logo

[LordShaftesbu...]

Agreed, what was so wrong with the old one? It had heritage and class.

[ElliotReidMD]

When I passed my test I decided I'd get a Street Triple R in 2013. It'll definitely be a round headlight version. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I'd be surprised if that bikes mum loved it.

Don't like the exhaust, don't like the headlights and don't like the screen.

I want a 2010 model in this colour:

Looks just like a Gladius from the side...

Really don't like it, the first Street Triple/ST R was by far the best looking in my opinion, maybe the second one with the red paintwork/white stripe too but the new ones with the new headlights are ghastly.

there's already an arrows can to replace the standard one, its going to be cheaper than replacing the pair on the current model, so good for customers, and the motor has been breathed on a bit so it can keep up on paper with the MV brutale 675, so more plus points, just needs a tail tidy and the pillion footrests removing imo

Don't mind the lights (but prefer the round ones), don't like the exhaust (although I didn't like the old one either, aftermarket always look better), and especially don't like the logo. They have tried to modernise their look and it really didn't need it.

For shame Triumph, for shame!

I like the new Triumph logo. I think ther old style one on my STR looks out of place on a modern bike.

I don't think the Chinese are that far behind as far as motorcycle styling goes:

Although I'm sure the Triumph is better engineered and finished.
