uk motorcycle sales over 125cc

With 7,564 bikes registered in the final quarter of 2010, Triumph took the top slot, followed by Honda with 7,283, BMW with 6,704, Suzuki with 6,496 and Yamaha with 6,199.

The overall motorcycle sales chart is dominated by 125cc motorcycles, which puts Yamaha 1st.

With the decline in sportsbike sales and rise in market share of both the Naked and Adventure market, those focused on superbikes have been hit the hardest. Triumph have enjoyed a steady growth over the past five years, with bikes like the Daytona 675, Street Triple and Speed Triple selling in large volume both in the UK and abroad.

triumph street triple r product sheet

Multi-award winning middleweight streetfighter.
105bhp 675cc three-cylinder engine.
Fully-adjustable sport suspension Radial caliper four-piston brakes.
Speed Triple inspired styling Two year unlimited mileage warranty.
Following on from the phenomenally successful Street Triple, the Street Triple R provides a harder-edged and sportier middleweight streetfighter that has been critically acclaimed around the world.
Based on the standard Street Triple, the R version adds a fully-adjustable supersport suspension and premium graphics and color schemes to really make it stand out from the crowd.
Highly regarded for its light and intuitive handling, the Street Triple R features 41mm inverted front forks which are adjustable for preload, rebound and compression damping to give the expert rider freedom to set the motorcycle up for their specific needs. The rear monoshock is an equally high quality item, adjustable for preload and rebound damping. The twin 308mm floating front discs, meanwhile, are mated to powerful four-piston Nissin radial calipers for eye-popping stopping power.
With a wet weight of just 416lbs.(189kg) and a lively 105bhp at its disposal, the Street Triple R provides a lively yet surprisingly composed ride that will surprise more than a few race replicas on a twisting road or race track. Since its introduction for 2009, the Street Triple R has received numerous accolades, including ‘Bike of the Year’ awards from Bike magazine in the UK and Moto Navi of Japan. Last year the Street Triple R also was a regular feature on world-class racing circuits as the official bike of the ParkinGO European Series.
The Street Triple R’s premium parts include lightweight five-spoke alloy wheels from the Daytona 675, fat alloy Magura handlebars, a stylish two-tone seat unit and comprehensive instrumentation that includes a built in lap timer, programmable gear change lights, clock and gear indicator, and a large tachometer and digital speedometer.
Classic Triumph streetfighter twin headlights and twin high level mufflers dominate the styling while three color options (Matte Graphite, Intense Orange or Phantom Black with gold wheels) ensure that there is a Street Triple R to suit all tastes.
