Triumph's King of the Naked Bikes

POSTED: 26/11/2021

Speed Triple 1200 RS - a king of the naked bikes?

Triumph has come a huge way since the first production of the Speed Triple, starting out life as a mean styled looking streetfighter version of the Triumph Daytona 900. Now one of the most popular naked bikes of all time, what makes these bikes so admirable?

Scroll down to find out why...

A beast-like motor

The new Speed Triple RS incorporates an entirely new motor, with not one single part carrying over from the previous generation. The bore was widened by 11mm, the stroke was shortened by 10mm – which altogether has enabled them to rev the engine higher than before. Plus there was a horsepower boost of 20.5bhp, meaning an overall increase in a power-to-weight ratio of a whopping 26%. On the track is where you can really appreciate its brilliance for its superbike performance with acceleration like you’ve hit the fast forward button.

Ergonomics are everything

As well as the abundance of motor upgrades, Triumph made ergonomic refinements too. The handlebars are a handy 13mm wider, improving the entire front-end control. Footrests have been relocated inwards to improve ground clearance allowing an improved lean angle. Plus you’ll also be pleased to hear that there are several rider comforting features such as backlight switches, cruise control and smartphone connectivity with My Triumph Connectivity. Furthermore, the motorcycle is now keyless, no need for a key to turn on the ignition, open the fuel cap or engage the steering lock.

“...inimitable style with a beautifully refined new engine...”

Manufacturer offers can not be redeemed in conjunction with any of the Laguna exclusive offers.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policy and regulatory complaints.
