Glad I bought the old one at the weekend. I prefer the round lights...

I sat on a new speed triple Saturday morning... It was damn comfy, really felt part of it compared to the old one.

Put my name down to try the tester when they get it in

Street triple looks fun and light though.

About the only "streetfighter" you could happily crash and put fairings back on it.
