....hey Speed Triple friends. The original Speed Triple (95-96) is without a doubt the most purist "cafe racer" ever built. The style, heft, and integrity of this bike is unmatched. It´s a very comfortable bike for the long trips as well. Triumph spared no expenses when creating the Speed Triple. It´s Triumph´s "bread and butter" bike....the "signature bike" if you will. The detail of the bike is definately "british"...from the the little things like the word "Triumph" on the most remote places on the bike, to the deep, glossy paintjobs. Triumph felt that they had so much to prove by reinventing themselves, as well as the bikes they produced, and the final product showed how much they meant "business". I´m a proud owner of a 1995 Speed Triple (the original) and I will cherish it forever.
