- Triumph themselves admit the Speed Triple is probably their most important modern model. The original launched in 1994 and marked the reborn British brand finding its mojo. While its successor, the T509 in 1997 quickly established itself as the class-leading ‘super naked’. But it’s arguably the third-generation machine, the 1050 launched in 2005, which, in being the first designed as a stand-alone bike rather than as a naked version of a Daytona sportster, is the most significant.
With runty, stumpy, aggressive ‘bug-eyed’ styling, a punchy, characterful and potent three-cylinder engine, decent handling and build quality and more attitude than a skinhead demo it was immediately the ‘hooligan bike’ of choice.
This was updated in 2008 with the addition of the ‘bendy spoke’ wheels, black anodised forks and Brembo brakes replacing the troublesome Nissins. The stubby pillion seat was also extended by 20mm and pillion pegs lowered by 50mm.
2011 saw a major update with a brand-new frame with sportier geometry, uprated, more powerful engine and initially controversial revised styling with new ‘foxeye’ headlights.
A higher spec ‘R’ model came in 2012 featuring Ohlins suspension, upgraded Brembo monobloc brakes, forged aluminum PVM wheels and a red subframe for only £1500 more than the stock model, although subsequent Rs came without the PVM wheels. While finally, in 2015 Triumph released a limited-edition Speed 94 and 94R, with new graphics, a few bolt-ons and very cool yellow paint (black was also an option) that harks back to the original 1994 machine.
All these variants and improvements were enough to keep the Speed Triple 1050 on top of the super naked tree until its wholesale revision in 2016 into the Speed Triple S and R. And all remain great used buys to this day here’s why.
