15th anniversary Speed Triple

[Big Dave]

Just got some pics in - i'll post them on the kiwi rider site shortly.
5 minutes to take that fly screen off and
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Looks very photoshopped. Any major differences from the 14 Anniversary model?

[Big Dave]

Sorry ol bonez - but it doesn't look photoshopped at all on the source file. It's a professionally staged and lit image.
111mb when opened the file is.

Livery - black forks, wheel trims and other small touches.

The image has no doubt had some photoshop help, but it is not a digital creation.

[Big Dave]

Thank you ;)

I interpret it's 'photoshopped' to mean bogus/artificially created. almost all professional images have psd 'help' now.

hey I like the screen, but every one to there own I guess.

Really the only difference to a standard one is the belly pan fly screen and a graphics kit, and I see a exhust heat sheld in there that aint standard. Black forks are now standard on this years 08-09 model.

I do like tho

Out of interest do the wee fly screens help at all?looks a nice bike though i still have a soft spot for the first of them,single headlight.

I reckon S3's are enhanced by what you take off them or minimalise via bling.

[Pumba]

looks like black braided brake lines (vs the standard silver), and possibly new radiator fairing end cap thing as well

The theory of less is more, I undersatand and see your point

Some guys like them. They don't make any difference to me.

[short-circuit]

A bit of rim tape...pretty much same same.

Not that that's an issue. Speedies Rule

[trumpy]

Likey,likey..lots.
As for the fly screen...my S4 has a pixie hat and a Laminar flyscreen which helped a lot when I had the original clip-ons. Now that I have the flat bar conversion (similar to S3) the wind blast is in completely the wrong place. Word is from other S4 owners is that if you take of the pixie hat completely the windflow is much better. I am going to play with this over Xmas break.

I'd like a 22nd anniversary model. In February, please.

Ah yes the Speed Triple Electric. Real 'plug and play' performance.

[Gubb]

Does the normal model have the Brembo's on as well?

It is gorgeous.

[Big Dave]

Yeah they have had brembos for a while I reckon.

The whole red light photo thing has been done before too :-)

[Stampy]

Triumph really need to stop feek'n around and make a full on "R" model like the Tuono Factory, Ohlins, Oz wheels, Monobloc Brembro's!!:devil2::devil2: Just my 2c worth!!:rolleyes:

You forgot forged pistons and increased capacity!

I do like it a lot though!:cool:

i reckon you are right :niceone:

Brembo's are new on this years 08-09 model, mine was the last of 07-08 model wich had the radial Nissins.

Suposably the Nissins fade to quick and dont have enough stopping power for some people, cant see it myself. Personally I think it was change for the sake of change so the shops could spout on about these "upgrades" on the new model.

[HenryDorsetCase]

calling the flyscreen a "pixie hat" is very funny.

Just saying.

I prefer the look without it.

The earlier one's (05-06) have issues with long lever travel caused by sticky pistons. Yours won't be an issue, but mine sure as hell is! Still stops ok though.

A lot of people have had probs with their Nissins I've been lucky mine have always been great and still are.

It only affected 1050's with Vin number pre 253302. I've just had mine cleaned and they're mint at the moment, but they'll turn to shit within the next 5000km. I'm hoping to get it fixed permanently via Triumph, but I'm not holding my breath. New coated pistons and seals are probably about $450!:crybaby:

Just got some pics in - i'll post them on the kiwi rider site shortly.Just had a look on the Kiwirider site could'nt find the photos could you post a link please Dave?

[Scouse]

and I see a exhust heat sheld in there that aint standard. The heat sheild is standard in Europe and USA because they have Catalytic converters NZ models don't have the Catalytic converters and air injection so dont need the heat sheilds.

Sorry Scouse - not there yet - had some unexpected jobs come in.
Get 'em there this evening.

[Big Dave]

Here's what I have.

[Scouse]

Cheers for that Dave

[Owl]

Cheers Dave! I really like the red decals!:D

[Bounce001]

I bought one of these 2 weeks ago and love it!:love: Will take some photos over the weekend and try posting them so you can see one without any photoshop tweaking! (I'm not that tech savvy!)
