Not an SV I know, but as Trumpets seem to be popular at the moment....

As some of you may remember, I have a good friend with a Speed Triple which came to an untimely end during our trip to France. Taran lowsided and the bike spun out, hitting the kerb and breaking the swing arm.

Well after many hours thinking about what to replace it with he's come back with another Speed Trip, this time a limited edition model in black, with a black frame. A few Triumph goodies too such as carbon infill panels and a carbon can.

We went out for a blast yesterday and I had the pleasure of doing about 30 or so miles on it, cracking bike, love the power delivery, very comfy, sounds the nuts to.

Ah yes, that's in the process of being done. The black rearsets with carbon guards go on this weekend....

It's not the current model, the one before.

I think his name (but not he) originates from Wales, boyo.....
