Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2003, 2004
In 2003, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Speed Triple, a naked machine that debuted in 1994 as one of the first motorcycles with a streetfighter style without an aerodynamic plastic fairing.
The 2003 model came with the same package as the previous model, featuring the same technical, performance, and visual specifications and wearing a Jet Black, Roulette Green, and Aluminum silver livery.
In addition, the bike was available with many Genuine Triumph Accessories, including various material silencers, an alarm, a tank bag, throw-over panniers, carbon fiber side panels, a luggage rack, a grab rail, frame protectors, color-matched radiator covers, fly screen, belly pan, and seat cowl.
The bike was built on a lightweight aluminum perimeter frame with a 45 mm adjustable USD fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent handling and suspension performance.
The bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm floating discs tied to four-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, delivering excellent stopping power.
In the performance department, the 2003 Triumph Speed Triple had its soul brought to life by a 995cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering 120 hp at 9,100 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 5,100 rpm.
