Triumph Speed Triple 955i 955

The Triumph Speed Triple 955i has fantastic handling, great build quality, very reliable and sounds great.

My Triumph Speed Triple 955i 955A is a great bike! I have had it for 2 years now & I still love it. It's different, looks really appealing. The engine is a lot quieter mechanically than the earlier Hinkley Triples & a lot lighter as well. The finish seems really good. I'd recommend it to those who seek something that little bit different.

This is the second Triumph Speed Triple I've had and though I preferred the original ('94-'96) motor's sound this one's quicker, sharper, lighter and more flickable. The brakes are superb, with bite and power. The handling is fine, though if you're really going for it the sit-up position doesn't help keep your weight forward. Round town it makes lots of sense although the steering lock is a little limited. Build quality is light-years ahead of all the Suzooks I've had and better than some of the Honda's I've had. I initially found the seat hard and the tank dug into my thighs, but I wore into it fairly quickly. The motor pulls from lower than it has a right to and yet still has a power band that surprises to the rev limiter. It's a bug-eyed beaut too.

I get about 40-45mpg and it holds about 4 gallons - 160miles is usually when the fuel light comes on.
