Triumph Speed Triple
General features

All-new optional ABS from Nissin for the greatest stopping power. And that 1050cc triple. Oh yes, the engine. And the look? Short. Stubby. Aggressive. Twin headlights. Single sided swingarm. Alloy bars. Pure Speed Triple. Improved.

Although the 955i was initially praised as one of the best stopping bikes, many owners complained of brake sponginess. But its capacity was increased to 1,050 cc by lengthening the stroke. It was also fitted with a fuel injection and engine management system made by the Keihin Corporation.
To improve rider comfort and low speed handling. When the T509 Speed Triple had an 885 cc fuel injected engine, the Daytona received an upgraded 955 cc engine that produced 130 hp (97 kW) at the crank.
The new Speed Triple was officially upgraded to 955 cc status and received the bigger engine. The engine was very similar to the unit found in the Sprint ST, but the motorcycle did not feature Nikasil lined cylinders.
And 2001, the Speed Triple did not change much beyond appearance; the engine control unit was updated to the Sagem MC2000. The 1997–99 bikes had a ground block known to fail, so the 2000 and 2001 bikes received an improved wiring harness.
Gareth Davies redesigned the bodywork. The 432 lb (196 kg) was reduced by a change to the engine casings of the 955i engine that decreased weight by roughly 17 pounds.

Triumph updated several aspects of the bike, including 104 changes to the engine. Ride-by-wire was added for the first time with five ride modes with traction control and an anti-lock braking system that can be turned on or off.
Full color 5" TFT dashboard was introduced and power raised to 147 hp (110 kW) at 10,500 rpm.
