Triumph file

The Speed Four was Triumph's naked version of the TT600 sports bike, a 600 cc inline-four in a stripped, street-fighter style with Speed Triple-like headlights. The engine was retuned for stronger low-down pull at the cost of some peak power, while the chassis, suspension and brakes came from the TT600. It was priced well below the faired bike and has sporty, compact ergonomics.
