Triumph Street Triple: First test

Our tester is currently riding Triumph’s brand new Street Triple at its world unveiling near Lake Garda, Italy. Here’s what we’ve found out so far:

“As expected it’s small, light, and a doddle to ride. But the biggest surprise so far is how much fun it is. It’s an absolute hoot.

It’s immensely flickable, loves revs and makes a great stunt bike. In fact, Triumph were so confident of this last fact they flew out factory stunt rider Kevin Carmichael to perform a show and he was raving about it.”

Our full review of the Triumph Street Triple will follow shortly and the full test will be in the next issue of MCN, out July 11.
