Triumph is a major motorcycle manufacturer that produces thousands of bikes in various models in each year. If you’re looking for your next motorcycle you may be interested in the Triumph Street Triple.
The Triumph Street Triple is one of their most popular models and was first made available at the end of 2007. It is a bike that was modelled closely after the Speed Triple 1050 but uses an inline three cylinder 675cc engine that was so successful on the Daytona 675 sport cycle.
Features include:
675 cc engine size; liquid cooled
74.0 x 52.3 mm bore/stroke
12.65:1 compression ratio
107 hp, 11,700r pm (according to manufacturer’s specs)

167 kg in weight (370 pounds, dry)
17.4 litres for fuel capacity (or 4.6 US gallons)
The gas mileage you get on a motorcycle easily beats any regular passenger car, truck or SUV. For this reason, many people choose to ride motorcycle to commute as long as the weather cooperates. This allows people to save money on fuel and spend it on other important things such as food and shelter.
Since the release of the first Triumph Street Triple, others have followed and you can now find the newest version of the Street Triple which carries an R suffix. This model has the exact same engine and chassis of the original but with fully adjustable suspension on both the front and back of the bike, which is very similar to the Daytona. The seat height is a smidge higher than the standard Street Triple due to improvements made on the rear suspension.
The Triumph Street Triple is classified as a Streetfighter bike and is perfect for even the newest rider. The engine is powerful but not so powerful that a newbie can’t control it. It would make an excellent starter bike but it’s also perfect for those who have many years of experience riding motorcycles.
Overall, if you’re looking for a basic bike that exudes power and style, the Triumph Street Triple line of motorcycles is definitely something that you should consider.
