I like this.

96bhp so not short of go for the type of bike it is.

Not a bad looking bike. If I was going for something along those lines I would go for the Street Cup.

Street Cup only has 55 bhp though. That's what puts me off the previous retro Triumphs.

That Street Cup is pure art to look at from a distance. But I expect detail-wise it'll be a bit "budgeted".
First bike looks like a Matchbox toy.

I had a Street Cup for a day when my Street Triple was being serviced.

I really liked it. Not a quick bike, but it's very well put together and it sounds like a proper motorbike. Triumph bikes have come on in terms of attention to detail. None of them look cheap now. They've all got some nice touches.

Looks nice in my opinion. Not that I'm going to rush out and buy one but these type of bikes are really growing on me..

I test rode a Triumph Thurxton R when I was at Motorcycle Live and really enjoyed it!

The tank on the speed twin looks great in person. Think of it as a thruxton but with a more hooligan look. its the 1200cc engine (street cup is the smaller engine)

I quite like it too for a retro styled bike.

It looks on the money for a retro styled bike. I like it a lot
