Triumph’s Street Triple R (2013)

THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF RIDING I HAD IN MIND. NOT RACTION CONTROL, ONLY A SHADE OVER A HUNDRED HORSEPOWER AND NOWHERE TO HIDE

If it were possible to test ride your next potential bike by rolling up to your nearest track day on the sunniest day of the year so far, I reckon the bike industry would be turning people away at the door.

That’s exactly what my first contact with the Street Triple R was. When we got the call from Triumph to say that the bike was ready, a hasty call to the folks at No Limits track day organisers went in and we managed to secure the remaining few slots at Brands Indy. Lovely. Old. Job.
