For 2012 we’ll be getting what we’ve spent the last couple of years asking for – a Speed Triple R. Developed in close collaboration with Swedish suspension brand Öhlins, the Speed Triple R sports the latest specification NIX30 43mm fork, and TTX36 shock. To minimise unsprung weight as much as possible, the lightweight five-spoke forged aluminium wheels from PVM are over 1.7kg lighter than those on the standard machineand top spec’ Brembo four-piston radial monoblocks, with optional switchable ABS, conspire to give a claimed 5% increase in braking performance over the standard Speed Triple.
It’ll be available in Phantom Black or Crystal White, each with the red subframe which denotes the R status.

Triumph’s phenomenal success with their Tiger 800 modelsm ahs spawned a big brother in the adventure market too. The Tiger Explorer is powered by an all-new, shaft-driven, 1200cc, three-cylinder engine, delivering potentially class-leading performance to the adventure touring market. Featuring a high-specification as standard, the Tiger Explorer debuts Triumph’s new ride-by-wire throttle system and includes cruise control, switchable ABS and traction control as standard. It has a steel frame and cast alloy wheels, 19” front and 17” rear, and a single-sided swingarm.

Prices and availability are expected to be announced at the EICMA show in early November – we’ll bring you the news as soon as we have it.

The new style is great. We’ve seen lots of moody shots in press packs where the bike looks proper butch – and it doesn’t disappoint in the flesh. The bike is also improved in the suspension department, with parts from the 2009 Z1000 replacing the budget stuff on the standard Z750. Brakes are from the very latest Z1000, so you can guess that they’re not going to perform any worse than the basic calipers on the standard Z750.

On the move, the changes to the bike don’t make themselves immediately known as you cruise through town and charge along the motorway. The engine is unchanged after all. But the handling changes have made a positive difference. It’s no sea change, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction.

The Z750R is available in the next few weeks, but if you order now you’ll escape the VAT hike and get the bike for £6,999. After this, the bike will be £7,140 in both ases, about a £500 increase over the still current stock bike. For more information, head to www.kawasaki.co.uk
