Triumph Street Triple R Review – This must be my next motorcycle!
I need this motorcycle. I don’t just want it. I need it. There’s a gigantic hole in my brain that can only be filled by rampant hooliganism and two bug-eyed headlamps.
Triumph has been so spot-on in delivering wonderful, rideable motorcycles in the last couple years, ever since they said “screw the 600s, we’ll do it our own way.” The Daytona triple is a fabulous track machine, the Street Triple was a great way to package the amazing triple engine into something for the roads, and the Street Triple S is just about my perfect motorcycle. By that I mean light, grunty, easy to ride around town, but with all the springy bits that allow you to flow like mercury through windy, twisty roads. Oh, and should you want to wheelie or stoppie the Triple R is good to go for that too.
Gimme gimme gimme.
Motorcycle-USA has a nice review of the 2009 Street Triple R if you care to take a look at something not horribly biased, like Mr. MotorcycleNewsGuy seems to be.
Cheers!
