    Lightbulb Where is the speed 4??

    Was just nosing around on Triumphs UK website (seeing what colours the 675 comes in if you must know...ahem) and noticed NO Speed 4 listed, so putting 2 and 2 together and getting, not unreasonably, 3.

    I have decided that the launch of the 675 engined 'baby' speed triple could be close at hand, now I don't know about you - but that gets me very interested in all things Triumph, well the 675 had won me over anyways, but I would want to see a speed triple 675 before I made the next bike move......ah ya may as well dream.....although Holeshot do triumphs and Suzukis......

    hmmmm....trade-in

    hmmmmmmmm.........triples

    Thats right, the Speed Four has been discontinued.
    A baby speed triple would be very cool.

    I'd prefer the 1050 to the 675 in any chassis.

    but wouldn't both be better, certainly the market worldwide for 600cc+ engined bikes is as healthy if not more so, then for litre bikes, if Triumph can put a 675 speed triple on the road for sensible money it'll blow away all the jap competition, and force them to release a top spec naked bike instead of the 'built to a budget' junkers they churn out.

    If it looked remotely like the current speed triple or previous generation model I'd be seriously thinking about a trip back to naked land!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Cool, under the prevailing conditions it's a smart place to be.

    The 600's are a bit under my radar - great bikes - just ergos too small for me.

    I'm with Dave. The 1050 is more versatile.
    Unless, that is, the 675 is ultra light. Then it might come close.

    Get a naked with a big donk, like a GSX1400 or Bandit (just to keep Lou happy eh) No point doing things by half is there?
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    If you want a big donk, go for a Rocket.
