LSL TL-675 Street
Triple

European mainland
builders LSL of Krefeld in Germany specialize in trick Triumph conversions, and
revealed this new concept at the 2009 EICMA motorcycle show. LSL supports the
Street Triple Cup in Germany, so the TL-675 is inspired by the company’s 126 hp
racer. (A more street-oriented cam drops the power down to 115 hp, which is
still about 8% more than stock.) Aside from the new fairing, LSL has fitted its
own clip-ons, rearsets and adjustable levers, and installed a GSX-R750 fork in a
modified triple tree. The bike weighs just 190 kg with all fluids, which should
be easily handled by the Nissin brakes and Öhlins rear shock.

The eye-catching
paintwork is modeled after a P-51 Mustang; the bike is nicknamed Warbird, and
designer Jochen Schmitz-Linkweiler reckons it will cost around €16,000
(US$24,000) when it goes on sale. Production versions will have the Kayaba 41mm
upside down forks from the Street Triple R—with adjustable preload, rebound and
compression damping—and engine modifications will cost extra according to spec.
