The increased power of the engine, as compared to previous reincarnations, and a new, aluminum chassis mean a more fun-to-ride bike, whether on a bendy, mountain road or a track Sunday. | ||

For those riders who prefer British engineering and durability in a sportsbike, but do not want a full-fairing, bulky body, Triumph have launched the 1999MY Speed Triple T509.

It sports the same liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 885cc, transverse three cylinder powerplant as the Daytona T595 flagship sportbike, capable of producing 98 horsepower and 85 Nm of torque, and the same, new aluminum chassis, but without the extra weight and hassle, that comes with a full-fairing body. | ||
Feeling at home on the open road, but not disappointing on a track either, the T509 is a great, sporty, naked two-wheeler, which comes with a British badge of durability and excellence. | Feeling at home on the open road, but not disappointing on a track either, the T509 is a great, sporty, naked two-wheeler, which comes with a British badge of durability and excellence. | ||
