Depends what they've done to it. I found the last one lacked character.

That new engine sounds radically different from the 1050 version. I hope they don’t ruin what that engine was all about.

I do wish manufacturers would stop building new bikes i might want!

It's the bikers curse. Always looking.

Apart from StMarks

177 bhp.

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

Due in the shops in April apparently.

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.

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.

I always viewed the Speed as being a sluggish cruiser dressed as a naked.. but I haven't ridden one.

The one I rode was not sluggish but the pegs were too high for me, so I bought the MT-10.

They're nothing like a cruiser I loved my 1050. It was ace on the road.

Meh.

Can't we have some solid colours? Something to catch the eye?

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

It looks like any other anonymous naked bike.
The headlights look insecty. And not in a good way.
Bland.

We need to see the blue used on the 675, the Burnt Orange and Lime green, throw in some red and yellows....

Green for the win
