For
2005, the Triumph Speed Triple's brand new 1050cc, three-cylinder,
fuel-injected engine gives great welts of bottom-end torque,
massive mid-range punch and impressive levels of power. The
motor's been refined with a new slick-shifting gearbox and clutch,
yet the gnarly character of the in-line triple, that's proven
so addictive to legions of Speed Triple devotees, remains fully
intact.
Containing this powerhouse is a completely new chassis. A rigid
aluminium frame, fully adjustable upside-down forks and remote
reservoir rear shock, radial four-piston brake calipers, five-spoke
wheels and an evocative single-sided swingarm give cutting edge
precision, while the Speed Triple's brutal style is inspired
by the short, cut-down look so popular on the streets of southern
Europe.
