I've had my current Speed Triple (955cc) for nearly 4 years. I had the original T509 but that bike lacked some speed. I love the new Speed Triple.

Nothing too much excessive, just more aluminium in some points!! I tried to ride with "her".....i had an immediately feeling with drive in all range curves, and in city traffic also. It is a motorcycle suitable for all day and mid range tours, especially in mountain or country ride. I think three cylinders engines has got all advantages of 4 cylinder Jap cycles and some advantage of two cylinder as like as Ducati. A "must ...
