Triumph manufactures some of the most sough after motorcycles and one such product from its stable is the Triumph Street Triple R. This naked motorcycle was launched back in 2007 and it immediately gained the deserved fame. Beside the radical styling of the motorcycle, it was the incorporation of the Daytona 675’s chassis that made this motorcycle stand out. While the model year 2012 did not brought any changes to the Street Triple R, for the year 2013 the company has a lot to offer.

Those are impressive specs, but they forgot the most important part about a Triumph: to make it pretty!
I anticipate a rush (and price increase) on used pre-2012 Street Triples, now that people see the ugly 2012 headlights are here to stay, and the exhaust and body have gotten worse.
How old are you? Iv’e noticed the older generation of bikers don’t like the new look street triple headlights, but most young riders prefer them. I prefer them 🙂 I’m 21 and am definitely buying this bike next year 🙂
