2014 Triumph Speed Triple R Overview

For 2014, Triumph offers the Speed Triple R as a sport motorcycle with 1050 cc on tap. The 2014 Triumph Speed Triple R is built around a Four stroke, transverse three cylinder. DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 12.0:1. Out on the road, the Speed Triple R delivers 99 kW @ 9400 rpm of peak power and 111 Nm @ 7750rpm of torque. Flat out, it's quoted at 253.8 km/h/ 157.7 mph. In everyday use, the 2014 Speed Triple R tips the scales at 212 kg, carries a 17.5-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 825 mm and spans a 1435 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 9.3 kg heavier than the average sport motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2014 Triumph Speed Triple R spec sheet below.

2014 Speed Triple R - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: Peak output on the Speed Triple R is 99 kW @ 9400 rpm and 111 Nm @ 7750rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.

Considerations

Tall seat height: A 825 mm seat puts flat-footing out of reach for a lot of riders - sit on it in person before committing.
Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

With Liquid-cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling on the Speed Triple R comes from Multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection with SAI. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.

Brake disc and pad wear

2 x 320 mm Discs, 4 piston radial monoblock calipers, Brembo, switchable ABS up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.

Suspension condition on used examples

Suspension duties are handled by Öhlins 43 mm NIX30 upside down forks with adjustable rebound and compression damping, up front and Öhlins TTX36 twin tube monoshock with rebound and compression damping at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Chain final drive on the Speed Triple R means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.

Frame & chassis check

The Aluminium beam twin-spar chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.

Speed Triple R - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2014 Triumph Speed Triple R should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept Speed Triple R settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a Speed Triple R's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Fuel system care

Injector systems like the Speed Triple R's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
