Triumph Other description

2005 Triumph America, 2005 Triumph America - The open road beckons, waiting to be ridden, waiting for you. The America is your passport to freedom. At its heart is a handsome 790cc, air-cooled, twin-cylinder engine that delivers smooth easy-going power and a rhythmic, laid-back soundtrack with every twist of throttle. Wide pull back bars, low 28-inch seat height, forward-set 'highway' style foot controls and powerful disc brakes further reduce effort while adding to the America experience. Custom touches abound. Deep chromed slash-cut mufflers, two-tone paintwork and 15-inch, spoked rear wheel give the America an individual appeal, perfect as is or ready for further personalization. No boundaries, then. No restrictions, no phone calls, no way. Just you, your America, and the road ahead. It's what you've been waiting for.

Watch: 2011 Speed Triple Dyno run

Tue, 05 Apr 2011

With the full factory fitted arrow system and map fitted it was time to give the Speed a run on a Dyno to see where the power is at. Over two runs the best results were as follows; Power at the crank : 130bhp & 75 ft.lbs torque Power at the gearbox : 124bhp & 72 ft.lbs torque Power at the wheel : 119bhp & 69 ft.lbs torque The bike has covered 4200 miles and is due its first proper service at 6000 so you would expect to see a reduction in power. Triumph claim on a brand new bike the Speed Triple at best puts out 135bhp and 82 ft.lbs torque at the crank with the cans fitted, effectively mine has lost 5bhp and 7ft.lbs of torque.

A thing of beauty?

Mon, 29 Mar 2010

The weather was pretty good over the weekend and I managed to get 500 miles in and become better acquainted with the Speed Triple. I’m still running it in but as it’s reputation suggest the bike doesn’t disappoint. There are some noticeable differences over most other naked bikes I’ve ridden, you could call them quirks, but i'll talk about those in a week or so.

A weekend of Lawn mower racing, Big Ed, Muc Off and Carlsberg

Mon, 14 Jun 2010

Around this time every summer the BMF hold the Garden Of England Motorcycle Show otherwise known as GEMS. The show happens to be round the corner from me so event sponsors MCE Insurance kindly sent me some passes so I could have a look around. Apart from the usual trade stands and crazy arena antics one of the highlights was the national lawn mower racing championship.
