Hey all. After passing my test last week I couldn’t wait to get a bike, so here we are. Wes McCrum did me a great deal on this nearly new Street Cup, after a test ride I knew I had to have it!
So basically in 2017 Triumph refreshed their whole Bonneville range. With the base Street Twin, the Street Scrambler, T100, Street Cup, and the range topping T120, Thruxton and Thruxton R. The SC is essentially a mini Thruxton, with the cafe racer looks, Ace dropped bars and lots of other tweaks over the Street Twin, Scrambler and T100.
900cc twin with 270 degree firing order, so sounds nice and meaty. Street Cup comes with shorter pipes as standard too so a nice rip from it. Quite a strange engine as it’s 54bhp, but has 60lb/ft of torque, and from 2,000 revs, so it’s got loads of low down grunt.
Enough talking, here’s some of my crappy pics so far.
Don’t really have any plans so far, maybe change out the yellow fly screen for a black one of a black street cup, tie in more with the headlight, plus its yellow enough already I think.
Its got one more year of warranty, so nothing major until then. Once it’s up I’ll probably put a Tec decat X-pipe in, frees up around 2bhp and makes it even throatier. And maybe even a pair of slip ons for good measure.
I’m still getting use to riding it so it’s got more than enough power for me at the moment. Put 75 miles on it yesterday (now up to 175 on the odo). Although if I do get bored there’s a stage 4 kit with an uprated cam you get for around £1000 which lifts the power to around 70rwhp
Brought it in to work today and tempted to take it out for a spin at lunch rather than eat, lol.
