For this What Makes This Bike Great episode it’s all about the original 1994 Triumph Speed Triple. In the early 90s naked superbikes were usually home-made ‘streetfighter' specials... loved especially by the French. Triumph were arguably the first to produce a full-blooded production streetfighter by simply ripping the fairing off a Daytona 900 and sending it out for sale. The Speed Triple paved the way for the super naked class we know and love today. This beautiful example belongs to Phil Roberts and not only has he restored it to its former glory… his Dad was the Chief Engineer at Triumph at the time. Enjoy…
