2012 Triumph Street Triple R Specs, and Review (video)

2012 Triumph Street Triple R

Triumph's Street Triple has been an amazing showroom success. It combines the looks of the big 1050cc Speed Triple with the size and handling of the Daytona 675, making it an incredibly capable and entertaining motorcycle. More than 40,000 examples of this middleweight naked bike have been sold worldwide since 2007, with sales holding steady despite the economic recession.

When news of the 2011 Triumph Speed Triple hit the interwebs, with its spiffy new headlight and crazy-light aluminum frame, the clock immediately started ticking on when the 1050cc triple’s little sibling, the 675cc Street Triple & Street Triple R would get the same treatment from Triumph. Hopes for a 2011 update were seemingly dashed when the British company posted the current model Street Triple as its 2011 offering, but rumors persisted that we’d see an updated middleweight naked very soon.

For the 2012 model year, the 2012 Street Triple R enjoys a stylish makeover with a host of detail changes, bold new colours and graphics, stylish brushed metal finishes and aggressive new headlights shared with the bigger Speed Triple. Distinguishing the Street Triple R are three stunning colour schemes: Diablo Red, Crystal White and a striking Phantom Black and gold combination. The Street Triple R is not a subtle motorcycle. It’s a bike for those who like to take it to the max.
