Getting straight to the point, the new generation naked bike from Triumph is expected to arrive at nationwide dealerships in February 2011, priced from AU$17,170 (US$16,530).
With an all-new chassis, the 1050cc 2011 Speed Triple gets extra power and torque, delivering 135 hp and 111 Nm (82 lb.ft.) of torque at 7,750 rpm. The bikes also benefits from Triumph’s latest generation ECU software and modified exhaust system.
In addition to that, at 214kg (472 lbs) fully fuelled, the bike is a whole 3kg lighter than the previous model. Front and rear wheels are each over one kilogram lighter, while the narrower frame and improved packaging allows for increased ground clearance.
“All-new body panels and heavily sculpted seat accentuate the Speed Triple’s aggressive street fighting stance and complement the newly-styled twin headlights. Colour-coded radiator cowls are a new feature and sport new decals,” a company statement reads.
Standard equipment includes fat alloy handlebars, a coded-key immobilizer, and comprehensive instrumentation (digital speedometer, fuel gauge, trip computer, analogue tachometer, lap timer, programmable gear change lights and service interval announcement display).
Available accessories include slip on silencers and a full three-into-one ‘low boy’ exhaust system developed in conjunction with Arrow Special Parts, while a tire pressure sensor kit is available for the first time on the Speed Triple.
The bike will come in a choice of three color schemes, namely Crystal White, Phantom Black and Diablo Red, with color-coded flyscreen, seat cowl and belly pan available as genuine Triumph accessories.
