    Don't Pirellis leave the factory with imported Swiss mountain air? That's why I don't check my tires an put yucky NZ air inside them.

    Thumbs up Triples

    A tad late to the discussion, but has anyone tried the 08 'street triple'. 675machine. May not be quite as quick as the 1050 but if you want something 'flickable' try one of those. Has to be, cause it feels so damned good at significantly more than the law would allow, one sought of forgets about the bendy bits in the road till it's almost too late. Just lean it some more and it wil see you right. Bloody marvelous.
    From what I've read, Triumph upped the stopping power of the 1050's for 2008 so you can try out all that torque with more confidence.

    Triumph model years start 1st July, in line with the pommie registration system I thought. So an '08 model is released 1st July 2007.
    Cheers,

    There's an entire multi-page thread devoted to it already. Seek and ye shall find.

    On another note: any speed triple owners on here been on the track with it? How does it rate as a track toy?
