Hi all you folk my name is Dave and i'm from rigside just outside Lanark south Lanarkshire, having always stuck with Honda I decided to change and bought a 2009 white speed triple with 14000 miles. it looks real nice and well looked after but off on holiday tonight and will get it delivered when I return. it doesn't have the flyscreen or the belly pan but to be honest unless the screen provides a reasonable reason to be there I doubt I will fit one since I like the clean lines. the exhausts are also standard so I doubt I will change them they look nice oh and its got a nice datatool red alarm doodah. I requested that during the annual service its getting before I get it for it to get the rear swinging arm regreased since it seems that there is a problem with them lacking lub and the swing arm and chain bits seizing up. They are going to fit R&G crash bungs to the engine as part of the deal anorl. Gona switch off them daft change lights as well. Taking the scot oiler off my current Honda and got the new bits to make it fit the triumph today. read all the reports and reviews so fairly well up to speed but I hope its going to be as much fun as they say. I think the Hondas do the job well but too well and are a bit boring no soul as they say, I need something with a bit of attitude, my previous sp1 had attitude but horrible to ride and drank fuel and all the other issues they have so sold it earlier this year, never again just my current cb1000 big one to go in the spring, nice bike but time for a change eh.
welcome in David. How spoilt! Had a holiday to look forward to and now have a new toy to look forward to when you get back!
all the triples are great bikes but for me the speedie is the best of the lot. have fun and enjoy,oh and welcome
Hello and welcome......you will enjoy it when you get it! :0) I've still not lost the grin off my face now 2 1/2 months in!!!!!!
