2010 street triple r

Finally got forty miles on the striple in the sunshine yeatreday.
500 mls service is done and the shift lights have been moved to 10000 revs.
Pushing the triple up the revs a bit more I now realise why I bought this bike.
The bike is a joy at low speeds around town but get the power down and this little bike leaves you breathless and wanting more.

TRIUMPH SPRINT ST AND GT

A few words on the new triumph sprint st and gt
The Triumph sprint st was first introduced in 1992 and has been a very popular model.
For 2010 the triumph st has had a facelift, triple style headlamp unit and a redesigned cockpit.
The gt is a more practical version of the st, using the same 1050cc engine producing 130bhp.
Pillion seat and foot pegs are lower giving a more relaxed leg position. (Finally thank you triumph)
Exhaust is now lower level leaving room for standard equip hard panniers.
Extras available include.
Powered 54 litre top box.
Touring screen. (Seems strange for a Gt why not fit the touring screen standard)
Gel seat.
Paint protection kit.

I must admit this is a beautiful looking bike and I can see it selling well for Triumph.

Battle of the middleweights video

So i just rushed out and bought MCN this morning to have a read of the centre pages.
Yamaha fz8 v Kawasaki z750 v ducati monster v aprilia shiver v Triumph street triple.
Go out and buy it its an interesting read, i find it strange that the test features the standard bike not the street triple R  against the new shiver and fz8 but there you go.
(probably to give the others a chance hahahaha)
