TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE “RC30”

Post by Skub »

I'm not totally sold on the colour,but in general it's a tidy job. Bet it sounds good too.

Reading the article it was intended to be either an RC30 or a 90s homage - might have been good to have gone with a red/white/blue or similar lairy paint-job, make the most of the gold wheels.

Having said that It looks quite nice as-is on the black wheels.

Hate the colour scheme, but, surprisingly for me, I love the bike. Looks really nicely balanced and thought out!

Each to their own,but it's not for me,the paint scheme looks horrible,I think the yellow T595 Daytona's look better.

Nope, Speed Triples are supposed to be a muscle bike not a faired monstrosity.

So the only RC30 part is a (heavily modified) top fairing? Well, slap my arse and call me Shirley. What a load of wank. It's a fucking Speed Triple, end of.

Might be why it's denoted as "RC30". ;)
