check out the speed triples too. I would think they would be more comparable to a xb12 | ||

The Speed Triple was the other of my two choices. Christopher | ||

check out the speed triples too. I would think they would be more comparable to a xb12 Not really, performance-wise the Speed Triple is comparable to the 1125CR, while the Street Triple R is closer to the XB12S. Although my XB12R is a dedicated track bike, my Street Triple R outperforms it in all aspects at the track- so I keep it on the street as the name suggests. Additionally, some European tests have shown the Street Triple R to lap quicker than the Speed Triple on tighter courses- it is, after all, a naked Daytona 675. The STripR is a very impressive motorcycle.  | ||

RedBuell- Is the STripR the orange one pictured? Didn't think those were released yet. That's a nice bike to have for a track only! I'm really digging the style of the bikes. | ||

The Street Triple R was released as an '09 model, and truly is a naked Daytona 675 with the engine tuned for mid-range power. The original Street Triple (released in '08) is a "dumbed-down" naked D675 with non-adjustable suspension and lower-spec, 2-piston non-radial front brakes. The STripR has Kayaba 41mm inverted fork, 3-way adjustable for preload, compression, and rebound and a Kayaba gas-charged shock, 3-way adjustable for spring preload, compression and rebound in the rear. Braking is handled by 308mm discs with radial-mount four-piston Nissin calipers. For 2009, the STripR came in Matte Graphite and Matte Orange, and for 2010 they have added Phantom Black- which comes with gold wheels and accents (a-la John Player Special). Although my STripR does outperform my XB12R at the track, I actually keep the Triumph on the street- it's superior as a daily rider. The Daytona 675 would make a better dedicated track bike than the STripR, but for mountain roads (US 129) I had a lot more fun on the Street Triple R than I did on my D675- it's extremely flickable and way more comfortable for distance riding. Other than top speed, the STripR does everything the D675 can do- it just does it easier and with more comfort. I am very impressed with this bike...  | ||

Appreciate the quick lesson! I really need to go see that in person. I'm jealous of your collection. | ||

I like eveything about the Triumph's EXCEPT the headlights. People make fun of the google-eyes XBS, but good LORD those Triumphs have pie pans for headlight reflectors! ~SM |
