Cologne Show: 2011 Triumph Speed Triple

TRIUMPH'S 2011 Speed Triple is to thump out over 130bhp, grind out 111Nm of torque - up about 11% up on last year's model - the company has claimed at the bike's unveiling at the Cologne Motorcycle Show.

The new Speed Triple will weigh 214kg wet - about 3kg lighter - with weight distribution more forward for better handling; the battery's now located behind headlights.

There's an all-new frame and swingarm and lighter, five-spoke wheels. Suspension is new too, with trick Showa USD forks and a Showa rear shock .

The bike's angular, sharper styling looks good in the flesh, too!
