Looking at a T509 Speed Triple?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular T509 Speed Triple is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the T509 Speed Triple disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 249 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 92 in 2026 Q1, down 63%. That is down 31% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Fuel

DfT codes every vehicle in the Triumph T509 Speed Triple generic-model group as petrol.

Before you buy

  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 63% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 249. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual T509 Speed Triple — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
