Step by step - Triumph 955 Speed Triple
04/09/2009

English people have style and character. English bikes too ! The speed Triple is a shining example of it. With its twin headlights, its single-sided swingarm, its soft and aggressive lines, this bike rocks on an esthetic level. As one buys this model by conviction, it's a perfect one, according to its owners ; even its 955 cm3. Not 900, nor 1000 cm3. Is it a new "coup de Trafalgar" ? In fact, not. Just a "coup de pouce (inch)"... cube. Exactly 54 ! God save the inch !
