Description The 2016 Triumph Speed Triple R. This motorcycle is the perfect recipe for those that don't want what the 1290 Super Duke or the S1000R bring. Then the triple is always the answer!

Best naked for the road period. Screw stats, I owned the Superduke 1290, it's a great bike but the extra torque and horsepower will just get you put in jail or dead. The throttle on the duke is snatchy and violent. I traded for the 16 speed S. The bike is more comfortable, the engine is super smooth, the brakes are just as good, it's got enough power to get your adrenaline pumping, and the overall attention to detail on this bike is amazing. Unless you go to the track every weekend get the Triumph.

Thanks for the Video I'm surprise the bike does not come in the US with LED turn signal. Also I've read somewhere, the DRL in the USA won't be LED. I saw on the video the DRL area on the front lights, but they were not ON. Are they just regular bulb? or maybe they don't even turn on? or are they still LED? I know they just are details! but was wondering! Thanks in advance!

The drl's are LED but the headlights stay on all the time due to regulations in the states. The DRL's kind of get overpowered by the headlights.
