    Just been reading up on MCN and the Triumph 675 forums, lots of press alerts seem to suggest that Triumph are going to unveil an updated Street Triple as early as Monday to have the awful new Speed Triple lights!

    Before:


    After:


    Yuck! I guess on the plus side they may try to sell off older stock cheap which could benefit my wallet :P

    apparently they may also change the body a bit and a few other bits, though that was in MCN so to be taken with a pinch of salt. I may wait a few weeks and see what happens...

    shame that they're losing the iconic round headlights tho, it looks like a normal jap bike with the fairing missing :/

    Ha......Biased and unfair pictures!!!!!
    That "older"!! version has the benefit of some seriously saucy add-ons!

    Those new lights look hhhhhot, mean and nasty......and probably makes it go faster

    We love that film, H has watched it 'several'!!! times

    It's a beautiful bike but i always thought those lights made it look old and looked a bit odd 'stuck' on the front. It's as if they were being lazy banging them on the Street when the rest of the bike looked so sleeeeek. These new ones look like they should be on there, they really start the whole flow from the front :-X......i'll get my coat

    Well new lights or not, I just wish they would bring back the only thing that really defined a Triple for me.......NUCLEAR RED!! ( preferably WITH Natalie Imbruglia). But I'm unsure of the new lights too, perhaps a step too far.
