Is it just me, or is the 'chamfered' generator cover no different from the old one? My D675 cover looks exactly like the one pictured, and pictures of the current ST also have the chamfered generator cover.

They're really reaching for 'updates' they can talk about, huh?

 

Nice post! Too bad we can't see the right-hand side and the new exhaust, which seems to be the primary change other than the rear subframe.

 

I bet it'll look similar to the new spied Daytona (i.e. ugly and gixxerish)

Sales of the Street Triple have been very, very good ....... IMO Triumph should ignore traditional marketing theory and stick with what has been working so well. The twin exhaust were a huge part of the bikes identity, the original swing arm was probably the nicest-looking one in the business. I wonder if the tank has been screwed with as well?

 

The heck with the bike - Baytriple!!

I like your avatar much better :nod:

Haaa please don't send me PMs... She is not me haaa

In regards to the twin exhausts. I never even saw them on mine as I went straight for the low boy.

 

No matter how much you like the high mount pipes removing them centralizes mass, gets rid of buttock roasting heat, once you ride w/ a low mount exhaust on a Striple, you'll never go back to high mounts. I wish Triumph made a low mount for the Daytona, the heat is something I could do w/o.

 

Yeah I'm not sure about the updates. I guess I'll wait to see in person.

 

No need for a new thread...

I quite like Bay's avatar too. The "new" Striple keeps the same frame engine wheels and brakes and gains......

 

Nice avatar JCP :nod:

 

can't figure out that hose running along the top of the oil filter, is that a t into the rad hose?

anyway I'll have to see this one in person, hope it grows on me otherwise :gettingsick:

 

Since we're running dual posts about the same thing... I'll just post my reply 2x! :laugh:
I LOVE the idea of an underbelly exhaust for this bike! :thumbup:
I wish that was feasable with the current model.

 

Like a lowboy?

The more I look at the spy shots the less I like it. They replaced all of the curves with edges. Looks more like a Kawa-yama-zuki.

 

if it ain't broke, don't fix it....

 

That is one of the wisest qoutes ever :nod:

Hopefully Triumph won't fiddle with the bike too much and make it all goofy looking. Oh well, at least we have our original classic Streety's.

 

Honestly, at first glance it doesn't look that radically different than the 2012, unlike the shot of the new daytona. And if it has the same exhaust as the new daytona just be glad they didn't show that side of the bike, it's gross. On a positive note think of the recent speed triple redesign. It didn't win the die hard over but everyone who has ridden one said it is a better bike.

 

I still think the style of the bike plays a massive role! What you're saying is like jumping in bed with a fat chick - she may go harder but doesn't mean you'd still want to marry it.

I think they are slowly torturing the flagship models to death. As stated, the die-hards will hate it but triumph will more than likely attract some buyers from the big 4 market as a cost. Win-win for them really.

Personally I don't like it - too much of a radical change!

GT

*Edit* It may ride better as with the speed triple, that's not to say the older one wasn't already the case.
