Our Verdict
This 2005 Triumph Speed Triple (EY05AJU) is a low-risk purchase for a buyer comfortable with an older motorcycle, thanks to a clean recent MOT record and very low annual mileage. Just budget for consumables like brake pads and verify the orange paintwork and 1050cc engine are as described.
When viewing EY05AJU, ask for proof of regular servicing despite the low mileage, as older bikes can suffer from age-related perishing even when rarely ridden. Confirm the orange bodywork is original or properly repainted and that the 1050cc engine matches the registration details, since colour and capacity are key to this model's value. Negotiate on the basis that the 2022 advisory for front brake pads close to the limit may mean pads and possibly discs need refreshing soon, though the 2025 and 2026 tests recorded no defects.
As a 1050cc petrol motorcycle first registered in 2005, the Speed Triple will typically return modest fuel economy for a bike of its era and fall into a lower road tax class than modern larger machines. Insurance group data is not provided, but riders should expect moderate premiums for a naked superbike-class Triumph. Typical annual maintenance includes tyres, chain and sprocket sets, and brake consumables; estimated annual running cost is £800-£1,000 including fuel, tax, insurance and routine upkeep.
Check the front brake system closely, as the September 2022 MOT noted front brake pad(s) close to minimum limit (1.1.13 (a)); although later tests showed no defects, pad and disc condition should be confirmed on sight. Inspect the orange paint for fading or crash damage, and verify the 1050cc engine runs smoothly with no unusual noises from the cam chain or gearbox. Given the bike covered only around 1,200 miles between 2020 and 2026, look for signs of standing such as flat spots on tyres, stale fuel, or corroded linkages.
The vehicle shows a consistent and reassuring MOT history, with passes in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2025 and 2026 and only a minor brake pad wear advisory in September 2022. Recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old bike, rising from 28,211 miles in October 2020 to just 30,429 miles by April 2026. As an April 2005 registered orange 1050cc petrol example, it appears to have been lightly used and well maintained.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Triumph Speed Triple to compare this example against the wider model population.
