"streetfighter" was a term that was used in the 80s to describe the urban customising of sportbike based projects in the UK - this was a time when the manufacturers had not started making "naked" sport bikes , basically the "cafe racers" of the 80s - the bug eye look of speed triple is a nod back to the early days of the urban streetfighters which used the twin headlight look a lot.

Miss my speed triple... wow! It makes you grin!... gotta be one of my favourite bikes I ever owned.. had a lot of bikes over the last 40 years! Here in the U.K. we have speed cameras everywhere.. unmarked police cars with radar and cameras.... national speed limit is 70mph.. You can have a lot of fun on this bike below 70.. the wind blast on the motorway? (Freeway) kind of limits you to below 90 anyway! 3 cylinders just own this type of motorcycle.. more grunt than a twin... lower revving than a four! Just get a test ride on one... you won’t be disappointed.... Had to stop riding after getting hit from behind by a nut job in a car... I was in a wheelchair for months! And off work for an age...

For me, the T509-generation Speed Triple was the high point of my 30+ year riding career. My favorite riding environment was undulating back roads with little traffic. In the Bay Area, I hung with a small bunch of expert middle-aged sport riders who were fast but not reckless. We were surrounded by empty two lanes leading to Santa Cruz and other destinations and knew them all by heart. Now in my 50s, I was riding a little less aggressively than before. The new generation of Japanese super bikes had better performance numbers, but I considered them lethal for street use, and the fatality numbers bore me out. I feel very badly for the large number of young, inexperienced riders who bought one of these as their first bike and got in over their heads. The Triumph, on the other hand, had that magical combination of outrageous design and refined engineering. Its light weight and awesome brakes enabled me to out-deep my partners in crime when entering corners. The bike transitioned superbly, and I could get on that silky triple earlier than my friends on more powerful bikes, who had to carefully modulate their acceleration out of corners lest their rear wheel break traction and high-side them. The Speed Triple was a bike everybody liked, and many manufacturers copied. It was the original hooligan bike. Who but the British could have come up with that concept?

Especially the earlier Speed Triples and the mt09. - Both are naked bikes with very strong engines known for their “hooligan” character. - Neither are really very much refined. - Both love to wheelie. - There is plenty of opportunity to customise the bikes. Loads of aftermarket parts. - The keyword for neither isn’t fast lap times, just loads of fun on public roads. The newer Speed Triples are much more refined than the earlier ones, distancing them self from the mt09. But still I think the Speedy is like a Premium mt09. P.S.

Streetfighters originally got the name cause they'd been sent down the road and either had parts from other bikes fitted, or, put back on the road without the fairing as riders couldn't afford to replace the damages. This gave the bikes a more aggressive look and manufactures started making stock street fighters.

Those mirrors typically are above the bars and not below and work better that way..

7:36 You don't just trust the mirrors regardless of how much visibility you have; you always do a lifesaver check on top of your mirror check. In the UK/EU you'll fail your bike test straight away for not doing your lifesaver checks...

The under-hang those mirrors are doing is part of the problem. The one Rizoma makes 20% larger, but the same shape. I have mine mounted in the top-hang position and they are just big enough to trust, while looking real classy!

The iconic googly, insect like eyes are one of those marmite things. Personally, I love them.

I have an '06 1050. I actually just took it out as an offer on a trade in on a V-Strom, and couldn't do it. With my Scorpion pipes she just sings... And I couldn't get rid of it. Honestly, never will.

Had a street triple back in Brazil. Now I'm in Canada and maybe move to a triumph Bonneville or something that dont get me killed. What happens is that they are too fast, they ask to be pushed so it should be safer to use in a track.
