It has been a while since we tested the 2013 Triumph Street Triple, but we reached a conclusion similar to most reviewers, i.e., the bike is a blast to ride. The only thing it is missing by current standards is a bit more power from the 675cc triple – particularly, down low. It looks like Triumph is about to remedy that by offering the Street Triple with an 800cc engine. This isn’t just a rumor, it has been confirmed by someone who should know what is cooking at the British marque.
The long-stroke 800 in the Tiger line makes less peak horsepower than the current Street Triple, so we expect the engine will be redesigned … probably with a shorter stroke and bigger bore providing crank horsepower in the 110+ range. Don’t expect much more given current emissions regs. With broader, smoother power, the new bike would be a better match for other mid-displacement nakeds, including the marvelous MV Agusta Brutale 800 we recently tested.
