Triumph
Speed Triple 1200 RS
Triumph's Speed Triple 1200 RS produces 178 hp from a 1,160cc inline-three in a 439-lb chassis — the sharpest power-to-weight ratio in the premium supernaked class and a natural step up for Street Triple owners who want more without leaving the triple engine family. Öhlins suspension and Brembo Stylema brakes are track-grade hardware; the performance demands experienced riders and budgeting for premium tire wear.
