Hi from the sunny south of France. I’m in the market for a new bike and the Speed Triple 1050 has caught my eye. I love that single swing arm. Due to the changes in French law it’s only been possible to buy an unrestricted bike since 2016 so I’ll be looking for a 16/17 model. What sort of money in UK £ should I expect to pay? Also, is the Speed Triple known for any common faults/problems? Cheers, Keith.
Bonjour!! Try here; https://www.thebikemarket.co.uk/triumph/speed-triple Click on the model you want & there are several classified ads below the bike details & specs. I've had a 2015 1050R & 2019 1050RS. I was shocked how much the engine had moved on in the RS over the older R, much more free'r revving. I preferred the softer suspension & handlebar shape on the R over the RS but the engine & dash were better on the RS. Now on an 1200RR. I would have considered the 1200RS if they did a pillion grab rail but they stopped doing one for the 1200, so bought a Tuono V4 base model for pillion duty as the wife comes a long quite a bit. And I test rode a 2023 Street Triple 765 RS at the weekend, I be very happy with just one of those! Amazing bike.
