2009 Triumph Street Triple R
  
Following on from the phenomenally successful Street
Triple, Triumph is introducing a new, higher-specification
version, for 2009 – the Street Triple R.
With the Street Triple already regarded as the class-leading
middleweight streetfighter, the ‘R’ version
takes the standard bike and adds a whole heap of attitude.
The Street Triple R is not a bike for shrinking violets…
The new Street Triple R comes brimming with race track
technology. Fully-adjustable 41mm upside down forks
and a topspec rear monoshock unit with piggy back
reservoir deliver sublime handling, while radially-mounted
four piston calipers grab the twin 308mm brake discs
and ensure the Street Triple R stops as well as it
goes.
At the heart of Street Triple R is the Street Triple’s
highly-acclaimed fuel injected 675cc three-cylinder
unit, producing 108PS at 11,700rpm, while its fully
adjustable sports suspension and powerful four-piston
radial brakes are derived from the award-winning Daytona
675. The new Street Triple R has been designed to
rival traditional supersport machines with its superlative
handling and stunning stopping power, while offering
the comfort and attitude of a streetfighter. The sporty
feel is completed with wide, tapered, handlebars from
Magura and a 5mm taller seat height that puts the
Street Triple R rider in the perfect position to attack
the twisty stuff or cut its way through the urban
jungle.
The result is a motorcycle that can be finely tuned
for all road and track conditions, offering a plush
ride tailored to the individual rider, while bearing
more than a passing resemblance to its famous brother,
Triumph’s mighty Speed Triple.
Completing the Street Triple R’s distinctive
look is an all-new colour scheme of Matt Graphite
with orange graphics. A Matt Blazing Orange option
with grey graphics will also be available from early
2009. Both colour options are further enhanced by
black anodised forks and a two-tone black and graphite
seat.
A full range of Triumph accessories are available
for the bike, including practical and stylish flyscreens
and a range of performance exhaust systems developed
in collaboration with Italian performance specialists
