You always know a bike’s good if it’s going faster than you think it is.
So it was a bit of a moment on the launch of the Street Triple when I glanced down at the speedo to see a figure which would have meant that if any Spanish traffic cops had been about, they would have flung me in jail and thrown away the key.
Whoops. Mind you, it was hardly surprising, since the outgoing Street Triple was already the best naked sports bike on the market – fast yet user-friendly, with blistering acceleration and trademark Triumph nimble handling.
