HERE'S Triumph's revised 2016 Speed Triple R spotted out testing in production-ready trim.
Last seen in a spy shot in June (http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/new-triumph-speed-triples-revealed/27872.html), this latest photo provides a better look at the high-spec R version of Triumph's super naked, with added styling details including a red sub-frame and wheel rim tape.
Updates for 2016 include a new fuel tank, different radiator side covers, a smaller tail unit and a reshaped fly screen featuring a new air scoop. Separate rider and pillion seats replace the single unit for both on the current Speed Triple R.
The R version's Brembo brake calipers are now shared by the base edition Speed Triple, as seen in a spy shot back in February.
The logo just visible on the fork bottom in our picture shows the Speed Triple R is keeping its high-spec Öhlins suspension, while the base edition retains Show units.
Triumph sent a survey to Speed Triple owners earlier this year which suggested the 1050cc three-cylinder engine could get a power hike from 133hp to 140hp. The survey also suggested the new bike’s tech will include traction control, multiple engine ‘modes’ and electronic throttles (http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/new-triumph-speed-triple-under-development/26053.html). Triumph made similar changes to the Tiger 800 this year.
Other technical changes, including a new exhaust system and catalytic converter, are thought to be targeting lower emissions to increase the model's lifespan.
The frame, which was new for the 2011 model (http://www.visordown.com/road-tests-first-rides/triumph-speed-triple-r-review/19928.html), is unaltered.
