TRIUMPH Speed Triple (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2011, the British motorcycle maker released the Triumph Speed Triple, a naked machine that debuted in 1994 as one of the first motorcycles with a streetfighter style. Since its introduction, the manufacturer sold over 65,000 units.

The 2011 machine received several technical and performance improvements, with an all-new chassis being the sharpest tool in the box and a more powerful engine, delivering a new level of handling and performance.

The notable features of the 2011 Triumph Speed Triple included a new chassis with class-leading handling, the same engine but more power, a new sharp, aggressive styling, three kg (6.6 lbs) lighter than the previous model, ABS for the first time, and a full range of performance accessories.

In the visual department, the motorcycle packed standard features, such as a twin headlight system with the instruments mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat, a high-mounted exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and 10-spoke lightweight wheels.

In the performance department, the 2011 Triumph Speed Triple had its soul brought to life by a 1,050cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 133 hp at 9,400 rpm and 111 Nm (82 lb-ft) torque at 7,750 rpm.

The bike was available in Phantom Black, Crystal White, and Diablo Red color schemes and featured an MSRP of $11,800 and $12,600 with ABS.
