I almost bought one in 04 when I lived in Tampa, I have kicked myself since then. It will be a while yet but I will get one!

dead sexy, I have always liked the triumph, but never got to ride one. I miss my street bikes, sold my last one in 07 when my wife broke her wrists. if honda makes this I may have to head to the dealer.....

I kinda like that Triumph, but having 3 cyl. kinda freaks me out, but that's just me. I guess I'll just stick with my 2003 FXDL :naughty:

ive never been into the harleys much, possibly a older buel would be the closest i would get to one.

the triumph is just a hooligan bike in the purest sense and I like that! im to bike for most other sport bikes and I miss my old 900 ninja (95) but I dont want that any more.

I was never into Harleys that much before I got this one either, I had a 2001 Kawasaki ZRX1200r before it. I went over the handlebars doing close to 50mph. I said to myself, I need to slow down a tad :lol: So I bought this to slow me down

Look for a nice ZX10R or 929R to make into a streetfighter. Lots more sack then that Triple plus it will handle and brake worlds better.

Then you won't be just another Speed Triple on the streets.

WOW, That buell is UGLY!! I test drove a Speed Tripple last year in Pittsburgh...VERY sweet bike. Lotsa power! A bit on the small side for my big ass though.

there arnt alot of speed tripples on the streets plus I dont want to make another bike into something else, those are some of the reasons I like the speed tripple, it is what it is and I want one, other wise I would go get a busa or a chopper or something, but Ive always wanted a speed tripple.

street tripple isnt to bad ethier, a bit lighter, uses the 675 motor, i love my triumph, i went with the Daytona 675 and its great. I wanted a sportbike, but not the same jap bikes everyone else had so this was it, great bike, the tripple has a unique sound and power.

you have fallen on the softest spot on your head son.... buell has lost there image years ago, there no more then another sport bike now.

I like that street tripple but I dont want to venture over to the sport bike market that far, I'll keep it at the old speed tripple, and yes the sound is quite unique to say the least I love it!

i understand, i would love a street or speed tripple, the daytona is awsome but on longer rides starts to hurt your back and wrist, a more upright riding position would be better, at somepoint i may pick one up also, we will see what the future brings though.

If you like the triple power, torque and sound along with a more comfortable ride, try the Triumph Tiger. The 07, 08 and 09 models are the new body style with the 1050 motor (same as speed triple). I have an 06 Tiger and love it, but I also like the fact I can go off to gravel and dirt roads as I please and still keep up with many/most street bikes as well.

I have a speed triple, with arrow exhaust, power commander pc3, larger injectors, k&n, killer bike ... 3 cylinder power makes it a hooligan bike to be rekond with ... wheelies at a thought and the chicks love it more than my ... other sport bikes i have ... mine is lime green and black ... small fly screen in chrome ... I bought mine in Little Rock AR. as a tester with 150 miles on the clock ... $7500.00 ... It is a great switch from the jap clone bikes ... plus u really get noticed ... reliability is great just oil changes and air filter changed ///
