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.

That's a great looking bike.

That is lovely, I think the Speed Triple is my fave naked sports bike, very jealous..

Great looking bike - very nice.

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

Looks lovely, I had a 2007 speed triple and it was the one bike I regretted selling.

Enjoy the howling from the triple!

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.

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

Good choice, not sure your mrs will like the pillion seat as much as the blackbird though.

[Janluke]

They(and the Streets) do look good

[Biker's Nemesis]

Nice, I like the colour.

[Mastodon2]

Very nice.

I had one in 2005 and the engine was a peach, best "road" engine on any bike I have ever ridden. After 3 years of loving tender care, there were too many quality issues 😢 And I demo'd a KTM Superduke and fell in love. Have owned 2 Superdukes since 2008 and if money was no object I think I would have to have another Speed Triple in the stable. But not to replace the KTM.

It looks lovely mate. That 1050 engine is quite addictive on the road. Enjoy.
