TRIUMPH Speed Triple (2000-2001) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2000, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Speed Triple, a naked machine that debuted in 1997. The 2000 model came with several technical and visual modifications.

First of all, the bike's wheels were no longer finished in black but in silver and matched the silver frame, improving its overall appearance. It also packed graphics, making it more aggressive and dynamic.

The bike's exhale was made through a redesigned round-section silencer with a less bulky appearance, raised higher to show better the rear wheel. In addition, the bike came with a new Electronic Control Module (ECM) that offered the same function but in a smaller and lighter package.

As for appearance, the bike remained essentially unchanged, packing standard features, such as twin round headlights, a two-piece dual seat with an optional passenger seat cover, a single muffler on the right side, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

The bike's suspension system comprised a 45 mm adjustable USD fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent suspension characteristics and handling capabilities.

As for the braking performance, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.
