Triumph Speed Triples?
 

Tell me about em. Anyone have any experience with these dainty machines? Any huge differences between the 955 and 1050 versions? Anything to look out for? Any particular problems?

I'm basically umming and ahhing about new bike options in the early spring and I'm seriously thinking about one of these.

The new ones are fugly, but they take off well.

I know a guy with one of these, it`s got an electrical problem with it and is "tempremental" when it wants to start - he`s had it into main dealers and no one can find anything wrong with it -. I think he may be toying with the idea of getting rid of it when he`s done with his "classic bike phase", he said he would seriously consider buying one again as this was his first speed triple. He bought it brand new and it`s a 1050 - 2008 model, could be 2009 - I think

what the f

If I'm honest, I love mine - much better than a racing crouch for longer rides, although it isn't too practical when it comes to sticking luggage on. Most people don't buy theirs for that though, so I'm probably in the minority.

Whyte25: What sort of misbehaviour is it up to - I've had most things wrong with mine, so I might be able to help ;)

+1, possibly the worst rider to grace one of them bikes?
If you watch that a few times, he makes no effort to change whats about to happen, no clutch in, no roll off, no weight shift over the front, nothing.

BTW, i test rode a street and thought it was amazing, very entertaining bike, loved it.
I have a sprint 1050 and love the engine, its brilliant.

Weird, apart from the guy in the video being a bit crap I actually like the look of the headlights there. Not going to be an issue as I wont buy a new one anyway.
