In 2007, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Speed Triple, a naked motorcycle that featured several performance and visual improvements. Besides that, it was identical to the previous model.
The 2007 machine featured a new generation Electronic Control Module (ECU) for better fuel economy and quicker starting, a revised stainless steel silencer, and head guards. It was made EURO3 compliant and packed a new Roulette Green livery.
In the visual department, the bike packed standard features, such as a twin headlight system, a one-piece dual seat, a high-mounted exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and five-spoke lightweight wheels.
The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm adjustable USD fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling capabilities.
The bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm floating discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, delivering excellent stopping power.
The 2007 Triumph Speed Triple had installed underneath its fuel tank a 1,050cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine managed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 131 hp at 9,250 rpm and 104 Nm (77 lb-ft) torque at 7,750 rpm.
The bike's power was sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and a final X-ring chain drive.
