2009 Triumph Street Triple

Triumph’s Street Triple wowed the industry when it arrived in 2008. With class leading performance combined with a highly-competitive price, the Street Triple was a welcome addition to the Triumph streetfighter family, and a new entry point to Triumph’s range of triples.

Through a potent combination of performance DNA extracted from the Daytona 675 and aggressive streetfighter styling drawn from the Speed Triple, Triumph created the most desirable naked middleweight motorcycle on the market, and picked up a plethora of awards along the way.

Packing a powerful punch of 108PS peak power (106bhp) delivered at 11,700rpm, the Street Triple sits at the top of the naked middleweight category, and with 69Nm (51ft.lbf) of torque arriving at 9,100rpm, the bike is guaranteed to outperform all of its middleweight competitors and quite a few of the heavyweights too.

The proven 675cc water-cooled three-cylinder 12-valve engine delivers strong low and midrange performance, from tickover to the redline.

The Street Triple’s aluminium frame comes directly from the Daytona and was specifically designed to take advantage of the narrow three-cylinder engine design. Rake is set at 24.3°, with 95.3mm (3.75in) trail. The wheelbase is 1,395mm (54.9in), while dry weight is 167kg (367lbs). Braking power is at the top of its class thanks to the Nissin two pot sliding calipers with sintered pads.

The low dual seat and new footrests and handlebars provide a comfortable riding position for both rider and pillion without jeopardising the aggressive streetfighter styling of the bike. Many of the styling cues come straight from the bigger Speed Triple, including the distinctive bug-eyed headlamps.

The Triumph Street Triple is available in three colour options: Jet Black, Fusion White and Roulette Green. 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 Arrow Special Parts.
