    A big hello to all :)

    I live in Hertfordshire and I have been riding bikes for the last 20 years. Starting off with CG125, FZR 400RR, Fazer600, GSXR 600, TL1000S, TL1000R, Fireblade 954RR, R1 5PW, 955i Daytona and currently I own a GSXR 1000 K6. This May I did a 6,000 miles trip around Europe.

    I think it's time for me to give up these 1000cc superbikes and find something with more class and fun to go with. I am looking at 2011 Speed Triple :)

    Today I am going to the Triumph dealer to test ride a 2014 Speed triple to see how I pan out.

    Kind regards
    H

    Hi chap, quite a list there. Age and common sense really do catch up in the end. Hope you enjoy whatever you end up with :)

    Hi n welcome H, I went from a GSXR K5 to a Speed Triple R as at 60 my brain is not as fast as the GSXR lol, the S T R is perfect as it's a naked bike with a bit less power and although heavier you do not notice this on the move as it has such good suspension.

    TL's???

    You must be a right nutter! You'll fit right in. ;)

    Welcome pal, and enjoy the forum. Enjoying your choice of bike will be easy. One of the few bikes I've owned that I truly regret getting rid of. So much so that I bought a 2015 model to replace it.
