On top of the new look the 2005 Speed Triple uses a new 1050cc engine, has new radial front brakes, new five-spoke wheels, upside-down forks, LED taillight and a new instrument panel.

Farrkkkkk! I could be up for that SP III.

The Sprint ST looks alright 'till you see it with the bags on.

Oh great...

Another bike I don't want to buy! Just what i needed....

I'd actually quite like a Speed Triple except how the ?? could you ever carry enough kit for a weekend???

Oh well... I'll stick with the Guzzi.. It owes me nought if you don't count the skinned knuckles!

Hey wkid_one: you really should post the link(s) to where you get these 'scoops' from, so others can go and browse the articles for themselves. We can still pretend that it was you who got the scoop.:shifty:

It's probably MCN.

I really like the look of that new Speed Triple.

The rear of the ST looks a bit Aprilia Futura.

They are both still lovely though (IMO of course)

I could have sworn that Sprint was a VFR800

Exactly. Horrid, clean shiny angular things with tight sounding camchains.

The Triple looks constipated in a sort of Buell-Liberace sort of way.

The Sprint on the other hand looks gorgeous, particularly in that blue! May even be tempted to take one for a test ride (provided I don't have to buy it first).

Is it just me - or does the chain on the Speed Tripple look way too loose?
