LAMS Triumph Street Triple 660
The machine will be launched at the upcoming Moto Expo in Brisbane, as the British manufacturer attempts to grab a slice of the growing learner-approved pieTriumph is launching a LAMS version of its award-winning Street Triple nakedbike.
Normally a 675cc triple, Triumph has lopped 15cc of it to make the 660cc LAMS ceiling in Australia, and it’s due to go on sale in mid-2014.
Triumph Australia is quoting a power figure of 40.6kW (55.2hp) for the Street Triple, which equates to a power-to-weight ratio of 149.815kW per tonne. In Australia, a LAMS bike cannot exceed 150kW per tonne.
The standard Street Triple produces 106hp and 68Nm.
"Early interest in this model is very positive for the brand. Not that this comes as a great surprise, as the Triumph Street Triple has been a hot favourite of Australian motorcyclists since its introduction in 2008," said Triumph Australia marketing manager Mark Berger.
"Revamped for 2013, the Street Triple was built from the ground up featuring a new lighter chassis and wheels, better geometry, weight distribution and handling. This is great news for the learner market, as this fantastic and proven package including ABS braking is now available in a 660cc LAMS configuration, yet still featuring all the same quality components as the full power version.”
Triumph Australia will be taking test ride bookings for the new Street Triple 660 at the upcoming Moto Expo in Brisbane.
