Hi All, Been using this forum for the last three weeks, Brilliant and informative. 55 yrs old, north west lancashire, rode off road bikes 35 yrs ago. always wanted a road bike so went through the direct access route this month. First brand new vehicle purchased a couple of weeks ago.. speed triple 94 r. What an awesome piece of engineering and quality. Here for the long haul.............. as long as i can stay on the bike.
Starting off with a Speed Triple 94r - you lucky bastid !!!!! Tony you are very welcome here mate - ENJOY !!!!!
Hi Anthony welcome,nice bike when i see your name it reminds me of Anthony Gobert a superbike racer from the 90s a bit of a character to put it mildly!
Cheers fellas. What a friendly lot on this forum. Only visited local triumph showroom to get a feel for the triple with intention of purchasing a used bike for 4k, saw this on a plinth as their show piece and , just had to have it. lucky i have an understanding bank manager, failing that i would have sold a kidney to get it. And also got a belting deal from them. A lot overkill i know for my first road bike, but not one to swap and change so went in at the top with no intention of selling it. just unsteady about the tyres, thinking of changing them. that's if there's any money left after visiting the bike show at Manchester today.
Anthony i think your bike comes with the supercorsas, fantastic tyre IF the roads are in perfect condition and if they are not damp otherwise they are terrible and you will be doing well to get 2000 miles out of them!, i would recommend you change to either Pirelli Angel gt or Michelin pilot road 4, both great tyres..
