Triumph Announces Street Triple
By Dirck Edge

The rumored Triumph Street Triple is reality. Here is the first official photo, and Triumph's press release on this naked bike derived from the Daytona 675:

After much media speculation, Triumph is pleased to confirm that rumours of the brand new Street Triple are definitely true! Deriving its genes from the iconic Speed Triple streetfighter and the award-winning Triumph Daytona 675 Supersport, the Street Triple is 675cc of pure naked aggression: lightweight, agile, and fantastic fun to ride.

With an expected MSRP of $7,999 (US)/$9,999 (CD) the Street Triple will be the most affordable of all Triumph sports bikes.

This exciting new motorcycle will initially be available to North American customers through a Priority Reservation Program. Customers who wish to be the first to own one of these new bikes can place an order at any authorized Triumph dealership. Orders will be accepted as of July 1 and the first units will be delivered in October.

The all new Street Triple will make its first North American appearance at the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at the Laguna Seca Raceway held July 20-22. The official factory operated website for the Street Triple, www.triumphstreettriple.com, will provide customers with more information on the bike and is scheduled to go live in late June.

Nice! ...even though that color blows.

Hey...don't be doggin GREEN!

That would be one fun bike. I rode the speed triple 1050 and it felt like a big dirt bike. I can only imagine how agile this thing will be! I might have found my Cali bike.

It reminds me of the Honda Hornet.
