I guess it depends on your information source.. this article says 69 hp with a possible 82 with the addition of Speed Triple cams. My repair manual says all three were rated at 70 hp.. wish I could find that Triumph page that had a break down of all the models..



I wonder if you could take the engine off a new Speed Triple and put it on a Thunderbird? Swap over the pipes and chrome bits and you'd have a very nice bike and the sleeper of the year.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
