The Triumph Speed Triple is one of the machines that re-established the Hinckley marque through the late 1990s and into the 2000s, taking the concept of the factory streetfighter and turning it into a defining model of the class. Essentially a naked, upright interpretation of the Daytona, the 955i generation paired a lightweight aluminium perimeter frame and single-sided swingarm with the characterful 955 cc three-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration that gives the bike its distinctive fruity exhaust note and a broad, torque-rich spread of power quite unlike an inline-four. For 2003 the model wore fresh colours and graphics, retained the second-generation closed-loop fuel injection, digital instruments and compact twin-headlight arrangement, and delivered around 120 hp. With its combination of sharp handling, muscular midrange and unmistakable design, the 955i Speed Triple has become a firm favourite among enthusiasts who value analogue, gadget-free riding and the unique character of the British triple, making it a sought after machine for collectors and riders alike.
