Catching the ten-fifty from Hinckley
’d buy if you didn’t read the bike press and were lucky enough to be treated to an all day test ride. It melds a weird blend of sensible and sexy and, you know what? It carries it off, too.That ubiquitous 1050cc three-pot motor is a given. You’ve seen it

First Ride: 2008 Triumph Speed Triple
By Jon Urry on 10/04/2008 21:43:07
It’s Triumph best selling bike, a style icon, movie star and it’s still only 14 years old. Life is anything but dull with the Speed Triple as Jon Urry finds out on the roads of Lanzarote.
under its belt the future looks good for Triumph’s old war-horse. Although it’s unlikely to ever tread the red carpet at the Oscars it’s still won an army of fans, and deservedly so.SPECS:Price: £7,999Engine: 1050cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 12 valve, three
