Been meaning to book a test ride on a Speed Triple for a while, and with the friendly Triumph dealer taking delivery of a demo Street Triple, thought it would be best to try both back to back as it were...
Wow... rode the Speed first, and this was with the Arrow system fitted... what a blast (literally
). Absolutely stunning, just an endless steamroller of power that the wind pressure made me back off before seeing what it would ultimately give. Even at (ahem...) high speed, it felt planted on the road, and the brakes were sooo good; strong but progressive
Almost thought that i was going to be dissapointed with the 675, but not a bit of it; what a superb bike, especially for the money. Both sounded good, almost halfway between a twin and IL4 (well, there's a surprise
), but the Arrow system definitely imroves both the sound and it seems, the output. Must try a Street with the Arrow system, as that would be a great halfway house.
I'm really torn as I don't want to say goodbye to the SV, but would find it difficult to justify two bikes
Anyone else tried the Street Triple yet?
