Triumph caught on video
By: Ben Purvis
This new Triumph prototype has been caught testing at the Almeria circuit in Spain.
Although it looks a lot like a stock Speed Triple, the bike has a double-sided swingarm similar to that on the Daytona 675, and a different chassis compared to the stock Speed Triple.
The exhaust system appear to be from the 1050cc Speed Triple – suggesting this machine has the big 1050cc triple rather than the small 675cc motor.

New 675 Speed Triple, I imagine....

It seems its the replacement for the 955 Daytona, it will have simiar styling to the 675 but with a 1050 motor, there testing the new frame with a double sided swingarm, but have dressed it up to look like the S3, differences are in the frame and swingarm, it also has a bigger radiator which indicated a higher state of tune required for a high performance tuned 1050.

AMCN (Australian) mag,
had an article in the last edition just inside the front cover stating it was suspected Triumph would soon release a brand new 1050 Daytona and also suspected a naked junior 675 Speed Triple and a hypersports tourer to compete with the KZX14 and Busa.

I also read in a brit bike mag a 1050 Daytona was sited testing in Spain I think............not sure about that I think I read it somewhere anyway.
