No.3
2014 Triumph Street Triple
Now more suitable for everyday riding and more balanced than ever, the Street Triple retains a 3-cylinder engine that's equal parts energetic and charismatic. It's got more personality than most Japanese rivals, yet carries a similar price (Street Triple: $9,999; Street Triple R: $11,199). Capable of taking you to work on weekdays and sending you to nirvana on your favourite weekend tracks, the new model is even better than the previous one, easily securing a top-3 spot in our list of best bang-for-the-buck street bikes of 2014.
