presentation of the 1050 SPEED TRIPLE R Dark Edition 2013
as a purveyor of motorcycles with character, Triumph has pushed the envelope with the Speed Triple R, taking its flagship roadster to the frontiers of the track and excellence. A privileged few, 30 at the most, can acquire a slightly spicier version. So what does the Dark Edition special series offer?
mainly a customized color scheme. Triumph entrusted the decoration to 8 Ball Paintwork Europe. The dress is deep black, sparse with red stripes, while the tank is haloed by the Union Jack flag. A fine airbrush job that emphasizes the machine's finish and premium feel. The Speed's bestiality is further enhanced by a hoof and windscreen.
no, you won't get any technical bonuses. Sure, a pair of Arrow mufflers would have enhanced the vocals, and a shifter would have completed the racing touch, but this limited series is all about flattering the eye. Sensation and efficiency are already abundantly provided by the 135-horsepower, 1050 cm3 3-cylinder engine, Öhlins chassis, PVM forged-aluminum wheels and Brembo monobloc brakes. Enthusiasts be warned: take the tunnel under the sleeve before pulling out the checkbook. This beast is designed for English soil only.
