Sat on new Speed Triple. Big mistake

**HenryDorsetCase** · 3rd July 2011, 18:23

now WANT. or Street Triple.

Gonna take it for a ride this week if the weather co operates.

Its a hell of a lot nicer looking in the flesh than in pics. Street and Sport have got a red one. A demo too.

didnt want to spend all that money though. And I still dont like the headlights.

I think they look "distinctive", and, in the butt-ugly stakes, way better looking than those BMWs with their mismatched, unsymmetrical headlights.

Ooo potential new bike excitement

I sat on an 848 the other day ... Still telling myself I don't need one.

Mate just bought a new Speed Triple. Black on black on black. Looks awesome, goes awesome, sounds awesome, is awesome!!!

If you don't like the headlights then just get the 2010 model (or 2011 for the Street Triple). I'm still undecided on them.

I think the bike looks great and is also quite a bit nippier than the one it replaces.

I was offered a trade in on my Tiger, but I think I'll stay with the high bikes.

I'm waiting for the new 1200cc Tiger, but I am already quite heavily leaning towards the Multistrada.

WARNING: You'll love the Striple.

you don't have to look at them when you're riding.
Personally I don't mind them, in the flesh the bike looks awesome.

Hmm, wait 'till the new Tuono hits NZ, supposedly an un-real bike...

**HenryDorsetCase** · 3rd July 2011, 20:28

I'd never own an Aprilia. Well I might. but not likely

Cant understand how sitting on one would make you want one,"in the flesh"?seen a few myself and they look no different to the 1000s of other Street Triples built,why would 1 stand out?

You know if you ride it you'll be addicted and have to buy one?
