    Picking up a lovely 2009 Matt black 1050 next week can't wait
    Only thing I'm asking is my dad who has had a few bikes in his time ,tried to put me off buying it as the one he owned he said that the suspension was too hard
    But I rode a 2007 a few weeks ago and had no issues with the suspention being too hard

    Hi Clarkey
    Welcome to the forum. I'm guessing if your old enough to have a full license you are old enough to make your own mind up.
    The suspension on the Speed is quite firm but this old bloke rode one for 18 months and did not find it too uncomfortable.
    Look forward to picking up your new machine....you will have a great time

    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    The Speed triples are great bikes and you can always adjust the suspension to suit :wink:

    Anyway if you want something with very hard suspension try an early 636 Ninja as the are bloody awful.

    Cheers

    Steve

    Welcome

    The 1050 engine is superb, loved my ST for the six years I owned it
