Triumph Street Triple

Triumph Street Triple asks for a rider who likes a naked middleweight with a sharp, lively feel rather than a soft commuter. By our assessment, that is where it is good: the bike has a strong reputation for quick steering, a compact stance, and an engine character that makes ordinary roads feel more alert. The honest limit is comfort, because the riding position, firmness, and general pace are less relaxed than on a calmer street bike. In practice it is the sort of machine that feels eager the moment the road opens up, and less interested in being a dull tool for errands. Compared with upright commuters and gentler all-rounders, it sits nearer the sporty end of the naked-bike class. The Triumph Street Triple is for riders who want feedback and edge, not an easy sofa on two wheels.
