If you need it, lowering is relatively easy and cheap.

2011 - was start of changes from round to Dame Edna lights along with other style changes and a slight engine update with a bit more power.

Personally I think the Speed3 is better suited to road riding than a race rep so I think you'll enjoy. Slightly less power but more usable.

Pretty reliable bike, not sure there's anything specific to look out for outside the usual stuff, obviously a dry roads only bike would be best (but no real corrosion problems, may be paint on engine casings if not looked after).

 

I have been in your situation before owning blades , r6 etc .I probably go quicker on my speed and have more fun in the process . It also helps me keep my licence as sustained speeds over 90 mph are not very pleasant on my neck ! I still ride with mates on there sports bikes and my bike is never a limiting factor , loads of torque coming out bends and easy to throw about with the wide bars . I think the bike feels heavy when stationary but not on the move and is super stable on bends , I have used the bike on trackdays also and is superb fun and comfy for hours on end , go for it , you wont regret it .

 

Ditto......

just bought a pretty immaculate 2011.....low mileage and I went on looks as its never seen rain .... great upgrade from rocket ships.... you shouldn't regret the move and there are tons out there so take your time and don't rush buy......

 

The speedy is a great set of wheels I'm sure you will not regret it. I am a similar height and can get the balls of both feet down.....on level ground, don't park with a dip anywhere or the bike may end up on the ground

 

Hi
I'm also new to the forum.
Just bought a 2012 Speed Triple 1050R with lots of upgrades (Arrows, carbon bits, cowl and screen, levers etc etc) and 7k miles and it was £7500
If you get a standard one then you might just make it but "R" models seem to be a bit more when I was looking
Cheers
Steve

 

that sounds pretty good for a 2011,there's no mention of scuffs in the advert so it must be very minor you would probably be able to touch up the scuffs,have you offered him £5,500, he might accept for a quick cash sale

 

just noticed the scuffs in the other pictures,it doesn't look to bad,you could just touch it up yourself and if it's still noticeable you could get it repainted later

 

Same money,lower milage.

Better ones out there for the money...
Sorry but 13k scratched casings and you wanting possible high level zortz

5250 would be my offer ??

Check valve service 12k has been done ?

 

That first one looks good Tim,i thought it was the older model but i notice he has the original dame edna lights,and those exhausts look good

 

Take time looking for your bike as they are hard to sell so always a bargain to be had

 

Arrows and Akrapovic are expensive, £1000+
