Historical Overview

The Triumph Speed Triple 1050 arrived in 2005 as the successor to the 955i, with a 1050 cc inline triple, distinctive twin underseat exhausts, and minimalist streetfighter styling. The early 2005–2007 models are now regarded as modern classics, while the 2008–2010 refresh brought minor updates to suspension, brakes, and electronics.

Notes: Prices are derived from verified UK sold listings and retail sales. Later 2008–2010 models carry a slight premium due to newer components and lower average mileage. Exceptional low-mileage examples in factory-correct condition can exceed the high ranges shown.

Value Influencing Factors

• Model year: Early 2005–2007 models are gaining “modern classic” interest; later models appeal for usability and spec.
• Mileage & history: Full service history, low miles, and careful ownership boost desirability.
• Condition & originality: OEM exhausts, mirrors, indicators, and uncut subframes add value.
• Modifications: Tasteful upgrades (suspension, brakes) can be acceptable but often don’t increase price unless OEM parts are included.
• Market timing: Spring/summer sales periods tend to achieve higher results than winter listings.

Conclusion

In the UK, early 2005–2007 Speed Triple 1050s typically fetch £3.5k–£4.5k for good riders, with the best examples reaching £5.8k. Later 2008–2010 bikes usually range from £4k–£5.2k, with top-condition examples achieving up to £6.2k. Condition, originality, and mileage are the biggest value drivers.
