Speed Triple

2000 Triumph Speed Triple Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Triumph for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2000 Triumph Speed Triple utilizes a 955 cc (58.3 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 110 HP (80.3 kW) at 9,200 rpm while maximum torque reaches 97 Nm (71.5 lb-ft) at 5,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 115.2 HP per liter and a 3,400 rpm working window between peak torque (5,800 rpm) and peak power (9,200 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Speed Triple measures 199 kg (439 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.55 HP/kg (1.81 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 220 km/h (137 mph).
