interesting, i heard it was gonna be a 1060, good for them.

that dash is pretty damn far away.

 

[Jayv]

Given the competition, we imagine Triumph will be aiming for around 175bhp

Hmm....

Too bad they still haven't found a way to make those bug eyes look any better. They remind me of some furry-browed guy in the Muppets I think it is.

Is that fair though? The Speed Triple was there since the beginning

I bought one in 2005. Great bike, unique and super fun to ride. I prefer the round headlights though from that period and before.

The headlights are probably a cost saving measure, they look like the new street triple

Looks like they just took off the fairing from a bike and sold it as is

I have always really like the Speed Triples. This is a nice looking bike to me. I was planning on buying this bike as well years ago, before I bought my Tuono.

Now that the Tuono is sold and gone, I am looking for a new ride but as of right now information is super sparse. Just have to wait and see if its worth what they will ask.

If you took a Daytona T955 apart you might say it looks like they just added a fairing to a Speed Triple

Why'd you sell the Tuono but remain interested in this?

Aprilia Tuono?

concur, i will probably dabble back into nakeds eventually and they are both on the short list.

i'd like to see a new MT10 as well.

I get bored of things easily. I also like to try new things.. I've never owned a Speedy/triple before, but have desired to do so.

Agreed. MT-10 was nice when I tested it, Ducati, Kawasaki, current Tuono, Speedy, BMW.. so much to choose from these days. Something that will likely become a major consideration is dealer support. I want to know that I can get fixed up even if I am not anywhere near home..
