New Street Tripple Quote:
Mechanically there are no changes (the Street Triple keeps the same 104.5bhp inline three-cylinder motor) so existing owners will have an easy time of telling themselves their bike is in no way rendered obsolete overnight.

Sad/funny thing, I went to our local Triumph dealer to look at stock rear-sets to fit to our America, and the Street Triple was a perfect candidate, after fabbin' up a mounting plate. Not so the Sprint. I originally wanted to check the Thruxton, but they didn't have one in stock.  The sad part was, I almost f-ed up and signed for one. They are SWEET! 
And you may see me tonight

Oh yeah! Since the day these babies debuted, I've wanted one in my garage too!
(...at present, it's sittin' at Number 2 on my "Lottery Win" List, and right after that new Norton 961)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

It would be the first thing I would change, that and a nice loud exhaust. I do like it.
