Triumph Speed Triple description

Very low mileage 1999 Triumph Speed Triple in Roulette Green purchased new by me.  In excellent like-new condition; no accidents, no damage, never dropped, no known problems.  All work and yearly full servicing done by California Triumph, Mountain View, California.  Have receipts, original 1999 factory brochure and catalog, owners manual, etc.  Has clear California title, license and registration paid through August 2014. Always stored in my garage when not being ridden.  Has the stock fuel injected 955cc triple. It is a fast, fun, reliable bike to ride.  Due to health issues I am no longer able to ride the bike.

Beware buying any "older" bike with the original Nylon fuel tank.  Aprillia, Triumph, KTM, MZ, Moto Guzzi, Ducati and other bikes of the era came with nylon gas tanks that would deform and eventually leak after 10-15 years.  Check out deformedfueltanks.com

New factory gas tank installed earlier this year by the dealer ($1400).  Found a local source of 100 Octane "race" gas without Ethanol which I use exclusively.

Many extras included; those installed were done by the selling dealer.

Factory Triumph parts installed:
- Front fork protectors
- Upgraded shift mechanism (from 2000 Speed Triple)
- Carbon fiber chain guard
- Quick release front seat kit
- Factory tool kit (many bikes did not come with this)
- Rear seat eliminator

Factory Triumph parts purchased but not installed:
- Rear "grab rail" (complete kit in factory box)
- Front "shield" (complete kit)
- Removable gas tank bag (velcro attachments mount harness around gas tank)
- Rear luggage bags (never used; easy to install/remove)
- Rear area screen ventilation (complete kit in factory box)

Non-factory parts:
- New Metzeler Roadtec Z6 sport touring tires (f:120/70ZR17, r:190/50ZR17)
- Smaller mirrors (stock mirrors included)
- Custom Corbin "front saddle" single front seat (installed)
- Aftermarket front "shield" (installed)
- Alternator cover (installed)
- Rear brake light blinking unit (installed)
- Battery slow charge/charge keeper (for long term storage)

The Corbin front seat, rear seat eliminator, and the stock front and rear seats can be mixed to provide a number of different combinations which I have tried to show in the pictures.

The launch event takes place at 7pm [GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) or 4pm EST in the U.S.], and will broadcast live via webstream on the TT’s official site homepage: www.iomtt.com.

2015 Triumph Daytona 250 Spied

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Spy photographers have captured images of Triumph‘s upcoming 250cc sportbike. The new sportbike (we’re calling it the Daytona 250 until Triumph tells us otherwise) is one of two new 250cc single-cylinder models Triumph is designed primarily for India, where Triumph officially started operations this week. There is a very good chance however the Daytona 250 and its naked roadster sibling will be exported to other markets including here in the U.S.

Single sided chain adjustment

Wed, 14 Apr 2010

We don’t get the manuals with our long term bikes and I didn’t want swallow my pride and ask triumph how to adjust the chain on the Speed Triple. For the life of me I couldn’t figure it out. The single side swing arm with centrally mounted disk is a work of art but how the hell you are supposed to adjust the thing?
