Triumph Street Cup

Triumph’s Street Cup was introduced last year to fill the sports classic category at the lower capacity end of the company’s Modern Classic parallel twin range.

Based on its Street Twin platform, the Street Cup saw Triumph tighten up the chassis and fit a lot of high quality bits to help it fill its role as the steed of choice for the reborn coffee-bar cowboy. Triumph describes it as an urban motorcycle and despite the sporty styling, the Cup is powered by the same high-torque, five-speed, 54bhp 900cc motor as the Street Twin. You can even have the power reduced so you can ride it on an A2 licence. The Street Cup’s engine spec involves an overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder liquid cooling and fuel injection.
