New Bike time

[sjtscott]

Its catching on BB this year, finally after years of talking about it I'm now a 2011 Triumph Speed Triple owner having traded in my 2006 Honda Blackbird this morning.
Its diablo red has covered just over 6000miles and is in fantastic condition, the previous owner fitting a bit of extra stuff and a very nice SC Project exhaust.
Pics taken last weekend in the sun when I test rode it on trade plates and sorted out the deal. Its now sporting the pillion pegs and no seat cowl to keep my Mrs happy and has brand new PR4s fitted. Thought I'd try these tyres out as BB raves about them
Overall very happy and this feels tiny and light compared to my Blackbird.

I might be biased, but very nice - all the right bits on it too! Congrats.

Cheers, I've been looking seriously since the start of the year, I saw yours when you posted it obviously, which does look very nice too.

Thanks for the replies, yes it was from Daytona in Ruislip. Snapped it up after the guy who placed a deposit down for it failed to show up to pay and collect it despite many attempts to contact, had to wait about a month accordingly before it was officially for sale again just in case.

The exhaust is fully Road legal but does sound amazing over the standard twin cans. I'll be keeping the baffle in as I'm using it daily for commuting.

Very nice but they don't look like pr4s

Thanks but you clearly didn't read my original post carefully enough

Will it be going back to normal mirrors or will those bar end ones be staying on?

Maybe, the bar end mirrors look the part but are frankly a bit crap for practical day to day use. I use my mirrors extensively to ride and while these do work if perfectly adjusted the field of vision is tiny. Why do you ask?
