see where you're coming from. although I'm not a great fan of the trunkated seat thing and the can's are just plain big.

Still nice engine.

The cans would be the first thing to go :-)

Great looking bike. When I trade up from the SV the speed triple will be top of the shopping list. Looks good in matt black too.

That's exactly what I was like with my SV, funnily enough. They'd cunningly situated it directly under a set of lights in a darkened underground garage, looked like a photoshoot, I'd basically bought it before I even said hello...

The cans are a bit OTT i think you can get some sort of stubby arrow exhaust on it that looks and sounds niiiiiiiiiice

I still think the sv pointy is a great looking bike especialy from the rear pity you dont get to see the rear of your bike while your riding everyone else behind you gets the pleasure. :-)

I think I'll be hassling the local Triumph dealer very soon too, now they've launced the Street Triple =P~

eviltwin test rode a speedtriple and a scrambler at the nec bike show last year. unfortunately he test rode the speed triple first so apparently the scrambler felt very sedate in comparison.
