There I said it. Now I feel better.

At least they didn't put them on the new Tbird, the dual roundies look the bees knees. Always liked the agressive Rocket front end.

I'm in 2 minds about the Sp-Triple's lights. They're kinda not classy any more. Need to see one in the flesh.

I wouldn't buy one anyway. I'd get a Striple. So pretty much my opinion isn't worth anything

Nothing wrong with your opinion. I'd expect the Street to follow in style in 2012, cat-eyes and all.

Presumably Triumph did some client research with the new lights and asked a pile of street owners?

Maybe their update designer is Asian ..... (think about the 'eyes').

The new ones remind me of T3 - old school round eyes and new model cat-eyes.

The Speed Triple is so....yummmm

Think I'll add one to the fleet next year. Got to buy a bike to cart the missus round on.
Regret selling my Speedy a while back.

But I want white tyres on it

Crazy Steve.

I lke the new Speed Triple. Looks really good and I like the headlights too.

That's coming from someone who has a big round single globe at the front

The S3 is growing on me slowly and I certainly like the wheels. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

You need to buy one so your missus can look good on it in that trumpy jacket I sold you. I also regret selling the speedy - but this one will be an improvement.

If only they would put a decent seat on it standard - why is a gel seat an accessory

Ok, will do mate.

Wa going to get one anyway but was expecting it to be the same as they are now.
Looks good in white.

The more I look at it - the more the Storm sports wood.

I like the new speed triple, but dunno if the general public will. Basically new headlights are very TnTish......and that bike had poor sales.

Mabey they should have optional tick box where you can get new or old bug eyes?

Note that when mini did this (aka custom your own mini mirrors) - their sales shotup.

I'm hoping for a flood of cheap Street Triple R's on the market (pref with gel seats, Arrow low pipes, good tyres and babied, white or black or orange) when the new Speed T comes out. Then I could have TWO bikes (well three technically).

I get to register my car today: bargain, only $340 or something for a year.

In the second shot of that Speed Triple set, there are a bunch of Triumph goody bags: what was in them?

enquiring minds.... jealous of all the free stuff. mmmm free stuff.
