TRIUMPH Speed Triple (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Speed Triple, a naked motorcycle that first appeared in 1994. It was one of the first motorcycles with a streetfighter style and was based on the Triumph Triple series of modular designs.

The 2009 machine came with the same package as the previous model, without any significant modifications, wearing the same technical, aesthetic, and performance specifications.

In the visual department, the bike had standard features, such as a twin headlight system, a one-piece dual seat, a three-into-one exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and lightweight multi-spoke wheels.

The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm upside-down fully adjustable Showa fork on the front with 120 mm wheel travel and a fully adjustable Showa shock absorber on the rear with 134 mm wheel travel.

In the braking department, the motorcycle packed two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, delivering excellent stopping power enhanced by an optional ABS.

As for the power figures, the 2009 Triumph Speed Triple had its soul brought to life by a 1,050cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 130 hp with maximum strength at 9,250 rpm and 104 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 7,750 rpm.
