Don't worry, it's for a reason, I almost bought a black Thruxton but the guy never showed up when I wanted a second look, 2 days later Doris turned up on ebay, love at first sight and so so much better!! These matches are made in heaven! (Ps nothing against black bikes, I have a friend with one, but my blue is .......
Crispey, I'm in no rush. It actually made me think to hold off for a while and get some funds saved. Both bikes seemed really good deals, thats all.
The wait is over, for those who are interested. Rode 'Lou' home yesterday, 2004 Speed Triple in Roulette Green, and apart from a low RPM stutter (bike has covered 2800 miles from new) I'm in love . Spent this morning fitting SP Engineering stubby chrome can with diabolus tip. Half the size and weight of the original.
Thanks guys, I'm really pleased with it. Chiari, I had seen the Roulette Green before but didn't recall it being pearlescent. Looks cool in sunlight.
Hi Peter. When my search started I had a short list and the Speed four was there, along with the Dayona and TT. I missed out on two crackers but didn't find a Speed that caught my eye TBH. Ended up with it's big brother though What part of the county are you in?
