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

In 2011, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Street Triple R, a naked machine in its second generation. The bike debuted in 2008, and in 2011, it featured several aesthetic improvements.

The twin round headlights were replaced by angular-shaped ones for the 2012 model year. Other modifications included redesigned side casings, a brushed aluminum finish around the exhaust, black-finished rear sets, and revised stickers.

In the appearance department, the bike packed standard features, such as a twin headlight system with the instrument cluster mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat, a high-mounted exhaust system, and five-spoke wheels.

As for the power figures, the 2011 Triumph Street Triple R had installed underneath its fuel tank a 675cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine fed by a fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 105 hp with a peak force at 11,700 rpm and 92 Nm (68 lb-ft) torque at 9,200 rpm.

The power produced by the engine was handled by a six-speed close-ratio transmission operated by a wet multi-plate clutch, spinning the rear wheel through a final O-ring chain drive to a top speed of 227 kph (141 mph).

From top speed to a complete halt, the bike trusted two 308 mm floating discs with four-piston Nissin calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
