2010 Triumph Street Triple R: John Player would be proud

Can you tell we’re in a recession yet? There’s a serious dearth of new models for 2010 with new paint schemes standing in for actual development. Case in point: the 2010 Triumph Street Triple R. It’s the same as before, except there’s now the option of black paint with gold wheels and decals (matte orange and matte grey are also available). That’s not necessarily a bad thing; the Street Triple R adds what is essentially the suspension setup from the Daytona to the 105bhp, 189kg (wet) non-R to create a naked that’s seriously capable, yet still fun at reasonable speeds.

Thanks for the tip, David.
