The 2021 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS goes up a size from its 1050cc predecessor, but still somehow manages to be lighter and more compact. While Triumph India have officially announced prices for the bike, it is likely that deliveries will begin only in February.
Triumph updated a few members of the Bonneville family to BS6 norms last year.
Lack of interest in niche products has led Triumph to stop bringing in the units.
Expect many more exciting bikes from Triumph in the months to come.
Triumph has tasted great success with the Bonneville series of bikes. The Street Twin has been the entry-point into the brand while models like the Bonneville T100 and the Bonneville T120 provide an authentic British twin experience. However, some of its more singular-minded models, like the Thruxton R and the Bonneville Bobber, have struggled to make a serious impact in the market. The dwindling sales of these models has resulted in Triumph India streamlining the Bonneville family in India.

Triumph Street Triple R Road Test Review
Rohit Paradkar Published: November 07, 2020, 09:48 AM IST
With the Daytona gone, Triumph was left with no motorcycle that could show off its prowess on the racetrack. The mantle then had to be picked up by the Street Triple RS - but in doing so, it seems to have lost that friendly character that makes the Street Triple so likeable for many riders out there. In comparison, the Street Triple S came across to be a bit too friendly and in the company of motorcycles like the 790 Duke, a bit too docile as well. With the recent midlife makeover that was given to the Street Triple line, Triumph India addressed this concern and this time around they decided to bring in the Street Triple R in place of the S and that might be just the right move for them and us riders.
