Triumph Street Triple is a naked motorcycle of Streetfighter class from the world renowned British manufacturing company Triumph Motorcycles. It was first launched by the end of 2007 and is based on Triumph Daytona 675 (re-tuned engine) and Triumph Speed Triple (design). It immediately gathered enough positive response to settle among the list of top motorcycles in the inventory of Triumph. It had got new angular headlights instead of the earlier circular ones in its 2012 model along with the increased power and torque figures of its engine. Recently, Triumph released the 2013 version of Street Triple with redesigned lighter frame, new bodywork and switchable ABS by the name of Triumph Street Triple ABS.
