2017 Triumph Street Triple 765: Bigger, badder, lighter and broader appeal

Triumph is one effed up company. This bike is the one that should be in the press. Instead of traveling North America having star studded launch parties for the abortion that is the Bobber.

The Street and Speed Triple are the best bikes in the Triumph line up. The Street is the true successor to the Bonneville of the 60's. A modern cafe racer. The retro line up of bikes are caricatures of themselves.

Working a dealership that sold Triumph has so changed my view of them as a company that as much as I'd like a new Street or maybe even a Speed I don't think I can bring myself to ever pulling out my wallet and give them my money.

The launch of the Street Triple is in second place among the worst motorcycle product launches. First place goes to the Harley Street. Maybe it has something to do with having Street in the name?
