2005 Speed Triple
To
become a true icon is no easy feat. But from its very first incarnation over a
decade ago the Speed Triple assumed just that status, mixing a primal
three-cylinder core with sporting ability and an aggressive, stripped-down
stance. Some things are just right and meant to be. The Speed Triple has always
been one of those things.
And the icon's been reborn. A brand new 1050cc, three-cylinder, fuel-injected
engine gives great welts of bottom-end torque, massive mid-range punch and
impressive levels of power. Yet this is no mere steroid injection. The motor's
been refined with a new slick-shifting gearbox and clutch, yet the gnarly
character of the in-line triple, that's proven so addictive to legions of Speed
Triple devotees, remains fully intact.
Containing this powerhouse is a completely new chassis. A rigid aluminum frame,
fully adjustable upside-down forks and remote reservoir rear shock, radial
four-piston brake calipers, five-spoke wheels and an evocative single-sided
swingarm give cutting edge precision, while the Speed Triple's brutal style is
inspired by the short, cut-down look so popular on the streets of southern
Europe.
Stronger. Smoother. Sharper. The Speed Triple legend continues.
