    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


    My rides, 1985 ATC 350X, With legit Lamborghini Countach paint,2003 Harley Davidson FXDL Dyna Low Rider,customised the way I like it! 1997 GMC Sierra is gone, primary mode of transportation, 2008 Toyota Yaris!

    Check out my build thread of my 350X

    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 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.

    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.
