2009 Triumph Speed Triple 15th Anniversary Edition
Triumph
celebrates 15 years of the iconic Speed Triple with new special edition
Triumph is celebrating 15 years
of its most successful model with a distinctive new high-specification special
edition of the 1050cc Speed Triple.
The Speed Triple is the most popular Triumph of the Hinckley era, selling over
35,000 units since being introduced for the 1994 model year. Such is the
significance of the Speed Triple to Triumph, company owner John Bloor has
authorised use of his signature on the fuel tank for the very first time on the
15th Anniversary Special Edition.
The limited edition model comes in a unique metallic Phantom Black color scheme, with hand finished red pinstriped wheels to match unique 15th Anniversary Special Edition decals on the rear bodywork and flyscreen complete the special editions sophisticated yet aggressive look.
The Speed Triple 15th Anniversary Special Edition is based on the 2009 Speed Triple and comes equipped with a number of additional items as standard, including a color matched bellypan and flyscreen. Also included is a stylish and comfortable Gel Seat from the Genuine Triumph Accessories range.
Adding to the desirability of the new model, each buyer will receive an exclusive Speed Triple 15th Anniversary watch as a special gift. This high-quality timepiece will not be available to buy separately and is only available to purchasers of the bike.
Commenting on the special edition, Tue Mantoni, CEO of Triumph Motorcycles, explained: The Speed Triple has become one of the great success stories of the Triumph Hinckley era and epitomises the evolution that our brand has gone through in that time. A lot of things have happened in the 15 years since the first Speed Triple hit the showrooms but the purity of the concept has remained the same. The bike remains one of the most exciting models on the market today and this limited edition model is a fitting way to pay tribute to a true Triumph icon.
First hitting the showrooms in February 1994, the three-cylinder Speed Triple has been the quintessential embodiment of Triumphs British Bulldog spirit. Initially drawing heavily on the influence of the stripped down café racers of the 1960s, the first models were powered by a 98PS version of Triumphs modular engine and were a regular sight on British race tracks in the thrilling Speed Triple Challenge race series.
Over the years, the Speed Triple evolved to become the definitive factory streetfighter. The arrival of the fuel-injected T509 Speed Triple in 1996 saw the introduction of the radical twin bug-eyed headlights, single-sided swingarm and oval section frame that have become Speed Triple trademarks ever since. In 1998 the streetfighter look was completed with the switch from low-slung clip-ons to the classic tall and wide handlebars. The Speed Triple also hit Hollywood, first in the Matrix and secondly playing a starring role alongside Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 2. With each generation the Speed Triple has become lighter, more powerful and brimming with even more attitude. Whatever the improvements, the Speed Triple has always remained faithful to the minimalist approach that has gained the bike a cult following around the world.
Weighing in at 189kg and developing 132PS and 105Nm of torque, the 2009 Speed Triple is the lightest and most powerful version to date. With its distinctive triple sound accompanying a muscular linear power delivery that pulls strongly from tickover to red line, combined with precise and agile handling and powerful Brembo radial front caliper brakes, the Speed Triple perfectly embodies the streetfighter spirit and, like most 15 year olds, is most definitely a bike with attitude, vigour and a lust for life.
