The Triumph Street Triple R already has some impressive credentials to its name, but just like a lot of things in this world, "impressive" isn’t impressive enough if you can help it become even more so. That’s exactly what Triumph was thinking of with the new Street Triple R. As the hardcore version of the Street Triple, the Street Triple R comes with a host of detailed changes that improve this already outstanding motorcycle. From the fully adjustable, supersport-specification suspension to the premium graphics and color schemes, the 2012 Triumph Street Triple R is an awesome bike every which way you look at it. Visually, the bike is the personification of mean. The fat alloy Magura handlebars, the stylish two-tone seat unit, the comprehensive instrumentation including a built-in lap timer, programmable gear change lights, clock, and gear indicator, and the large tachometer and digital speedo, all play their part in the whole set-up. The bike also has new style headlights, new mesh headstock infill panels, brushed finishes on the exhaust canisters, and the Triumph branding on the clutch and alternator covers. In terms of performance, the Street Triple R comes powered by a 675cc liquid-cooled, 12 valve, DOHC, in-line 3-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 105 horsepower, providing a lively yet composed ride that few bikes in its class can replicate. After all, there’s a reason why the Street Triple R was once the recipient of numerous accolades, including “Bike of the Year” awards from Bike magazine in the UK and Moto Navi of Japan. Simply put, this bike is a chrome menace on two wheels. Find out more about the Triumph Street Triple R after the jump. Triumph Street Triple R  Triumph Street Triple R
The Street Triple R’s high equipment level includes lightweight five-spoke alloy wheels from the Daytona 675, fat alloy Magura handlebars, a stylish two-tone seat unit and comprehensive instrumentation including a built-in lap timer, programmable gear change lights, clock and gear indicator, as well as a large tachometer and digital speedo. New style headlights, the same aggressive design used on the bigger Speed Triple, and twin high-level exhaust canisters dominate the styling, with a number of detail improvements being brought in for 2012, including new mesh headstock infill panels, brushed finishes on the exhaust canisters and Triumph branding on the clutch and alternator covers. Three color options are available on the 2012 Street Triple R: Crystal White, Diablo Red and Phantom Black (with gold wheels). All colors feature new graphics, including the Triumph sports script on the fuel tank. Triumph’s range of genuine accessories is hugely popular with Street Triple R owners. Color-matched flyscreens, belly pans and seat cowls give the bike a more sporting and aggressive look, while Arrow Special Parts have developed both a three-into-one “low boy” exhaust system and lightweight slip-on exhausts for improved performance and a weight reduction. Other key accessories include CNC-machined clutch and brake levers and a “plug and play” quickshifter that can be fitted to the Street Triple R in minutes. Engine and Transmission

Quotesultimatemotorcycling----“Balanced and light (367 pounds, claimed dry), the Triumph Street Triple R is never overwhelming, despite its high-performance status. The ergonomics are compact and the pegs are high-my legs did need the occasional stretch during dawn-to-dusk excursions-while the bar bend and positioning is perfect. At a long-inseam 5’6", I never found the 31.5-inch seat height to be a problem at stops.” 1 comments: Triumph Street Triple R
