Hot Off the Press... New Speed Triple!

Although its been rumoured for a year or so.... Now we start to see evidence...
Sadly MCN quote triumph as saying the 1215cc engine is not suitable for the new speed T ...
Tweeked n tuned 1050 again then.... They have some big competition this time in the nakeds though...

 

Anyone else heard any more regarding a new speed triple???

I think Rich, that the low center of mass is definite... i.e low level single exhaust.... The fact the the current model has had the LE and Se models come out signify change looms...

I know someone who had to go out to some race track in Spain to do some work and he saw several Speed trips being tested with different forks (Different rake angles) and ABS systems being tested....

I Think the 1200 explorer engine is definitely out of the project but they may go for squeezing another 25-50cc out of the current triple engine.... Based on the street triple i would imagine the love em or hate em bug eyes are here to stay (Shame cos I really like the original triumph twin round eyes..), but I'm keen to find out other plans....

I just hope they don't go for the cast sub frame like the street as I think that's the one bit I'm really not keen about on the new street trip....

The Pic in the MCN at start of thread shows testing with current tank and plastics etc, I reckon they will be the easy face-lift although nothing wrong as they are...
Time will tell....
