I joke with him saying give it to me, you can't cope with the power. Thing is, I think I would be wary of the problem he had now...

D. I prefer the size and aesthetics of the Speed (especially in Black), but the Street is:
a) Quicker round the Nurburgring (which I take to be a good indication of A-road performance).
b) Lighter.
c) Cheaper to buy.
d) Considerably cheaper to run and insure.
e) A better wheelie machine in stock form.

cheaper to run maybe.......but not cheaper to insure!!!

All the quotes ive had have been quite a bit more for the striple R....and its the 'R' in the title that does it (group 11 for the speed and 14 for the street R)

i do prefer the streets all round, but hell if im gonna pay the price for insurance i may as well av the monster speed!

still debating on which.....so unsure its giving me a headache lol

Black every time mate

Hell yes E.......I've not read the whole thread to find out but are those wheels not pretty special? MArchneshijpoinmdon (sp) or something like that

Orange is for KTMs.
Silver is quite nice.
The low level pipe is loads nicer than high.

But you can't beat the speed triple. It's as much a liter bike as the striple is a 600

AFAIK those wheels are stock fitment.
