Triumph launches Street Triple

After much media speculation, Triumph is pleased to confirm that rumours of the brand new Street Triple are definitely true! Deriving its genes from the iconic Speed Triple streetfighter and the award-winning Triumph Daytona 675 Supersport, the Street Triple is 675cc of pure naked aggression: lightweight, agile, and fantastic fun to ride.

With an expected MSRP of $7,999 (US)/$9,999 (CD) the Street Triple will be the most affordable of all Triumph sports bikes.



This exciting new motorcycle will initially be available to North American customers through a Priority Reservation Program. Customers who wish to be the first to own one of these new bikes can place an order at any authorized Triumph dealership. Orders will be accepted as of July 1 and the first units will be delivered in October.

The all new Street Triple will make its first North American appearance at the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at the Laguna Seca Raceway held July 20-22. The official factory operated website for the Street Triple, www.triumphstreettriple.com, will provide customers with more information on the bike and is scheduled to go live in late June.

Thanks for passing along that excellent information, Davo!

For anyone else who may be as paranoid as I am--at least according to some sources--I can confirm the URL in the news story really does belong to Triumph. It redirects you to: www.triumph.co.uk/streetTriple/.

As of this writing, all you can really do there is register to receive further information by e-mail, but it does have a nice Flash presentation with some tantalizing glimpses of the bike..and they promise more soon.

Although I still can't quite believe they really named it Street Triple, I'm very much looking forward to seeing one in person.
