Since Tom Cruise rode the speed triple in the movie M.I 2, I am a big fan of speed triples, I think they are one of the most smartest looking things on two wheels, heard about the new 2012 Triumph Speed Triple that a lot has been added on to it, may I have an insight on the new Speed triple.

the Speed Triple famed as the naked bike went under some major changes for 2012, the motorcycle now a "R" model featuring an all new Ohlins suspension to Brembo brakes to the Pirelli Supercorsa SP rubber contacting the road, the Speed Triple R has all the high-performance necessitates to be a true naked sportbike. Starting with the suspension, Triumph upgraded the Speed Triple R with Swedish-based Ohlins components. The front features the latest NIX30 43mm forks, and a TTX36 Monoshock out back. The 2012 Speed Triple R has further refined its handling with a lightweight, five-spoke forged aluminum PVM wheels that weigh 3.7 lbs. less than the previous Speed Triple. The Speed Triple R has also improved braking as well, four-piston radial monoblock calipers from Brembo, with Triumph's electronic anti-lock system available as a switchable option. Together, the brakes and wheels offer a 5% increase in braking performance over the standard Speed Triple. The Speed triple R is powered by a 1050cc three-cylinder that produces 133 base horsepower and 82 ft. lbs. of torque. The fuel-injected engine is paired with the 1050's new gearbox resulting in more refined shifting.
