Triumph Speed Triple 1050
The Triumph Speed Triple 1050 has a top speed of 225 km/h, produces 133 hp and weighs 189 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
De Triumph Speed Triple 1050 werd geïntroduceerd in 2005, ter vervanging van de originele 955i Speed Triple, en was voorzien van een nieuwe 1050cc driecilinderlijnmotor die iconisch werd vanwege zijn agressieve, naakte styling en opvallende ontwerp met twee koplampen. In 2011 onderging hij belangrijke updates met een herziene ergonomie, verbeterde vering en meer vermogen, waardoor zijn reputatie als een van de best presterende naked bikes op de markt werd verstevigd. De Speed Triple 1050 bleef in productie tot 2017, toen hij werd opgevolgd door de Speed Triple RS- en S-varianten, waarmee hij een erfenis naliet als benchmark voor het naked superbike-segment.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Watch the Cam Chain
Early 1050 models (2005-2010) are known for cam chain tensioner wear, which can cause a rattling noise on cold starts. Always listen carefully at startup and check service history before buying.
Strong Resale Value
The Speed Triple holds its value better than most naked bikes in its class, thanks to its iconic status and consistent demand. A well-maintained example typically retains 60-70% of its value after three years.
Aggressive Triple Engine
The 1050cc inline-three delivers a unique powerband — torquey like a twin but with a high-revving top end — giving it a riding character no four-cylinder competitor can replicate. This signature feel is a big reason buyers remain loyal to the model.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
Originele 1050cc driedubbele motor, stalen buisframe, twee uitlaten onder de stoel, geïntroduceerd vermogen van 130 pk.
"De triple die het reglement voor naked bikes herschreef."
Die 1050 triple trekt hard vanaf 3.500 tpm en schreeuwt absoluut meer dan 7.000 — het is een motor waarop je rijdt om hem te horen werken. Het chassis is strak en communicatief, zonder dat het te zwaar wordt; je voelt precies wat de Pirelli voorin doet in het midden van de bocht, wat snel vertrouwen opwekt op binnenwegen. De brandstofinjectie op vroege fietsen was een beetje lastig bij een gesloten gasklep in het verkeer, en de standaardstoel is na een uur in wezen een plank — twee eerlijke gebreken aan een verder briljante machine. Maar niets in deze klas voor deze prijs klinkt zo, voelt zo aan, of zorgt ervoor dat je zo hard grijnst tijdens een woon-werkverkeer op dinsdagochtend.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"The best-sounding naked middleweight you can buy used today."
$5,500-$9,000 usedThe Speed Triple 1050 is one of those bikes that rewards experienced riders who know what they're getting into. That triple-cylinder motor is genuinely special — it pulls hard from 3,000rpm, screams past 9,000, and sounds like nothing else on the road. The 2011-2015 generation especially hit a sweet spot before the R variants added electronic complexity. Used examples from this era are plentiful and relatively affordable now. Before buying, check the steering head bearings — they wear prematurely and previous owners often ignore them. Early models had fuel pump issues, so ask for service records and listen for hesitation at low throttle openings. Corrosion around the exhaust headers is cosmetic but worth negotiating on. The suspension is firm for a naked bike, but that's by design rather than neglect on most examples. This isn't a beginner machine and a worn-out example will bite you. Buy a good one with documented service history and you'll have a motorcycle that genuinely excites every single ride.
