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

In 2009, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Street Triple R, a naked motorcycle in its second year of production. The bike packed the same engine as the standard model but with fully adjustable suspensions.

The bike's suspension system was shared with the Daytona model, resulting in a slightly higher seat height and a sharper rake angle than the standard model. In addition, the brakes were also shared with the Triumph Daytona 675 with a Nissin master cylinder and calipers.

The R model also packed other minor differences over the base model, such as the handlebar, seat, and different Matte Orange and Matte Grey color schemes.

In the appearance department, the R model packed standard features, such as a twin headlight system with the instrument panel mounted on top, a two-piece dual seat with an optional passenger seat cover, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, and five-spoke lightweight wheels.

The bike's suspension comprised a 41 mm upside-down fully adjustable Kayaba fork with 130 mm wheel travel on the front and a fully adjustable Kayaba shock absorber with 130 mm wheel travel on the rear.

As for the power figures, the 2009 Triumph Street Triple had installed underneath its fuel tank a 675cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 105 hp at 11,700 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 9,200 rpm.
