> Anyone out there got any info on the new triple.

This forum is full of it! Good info, I mean. ;-)

It's a different sort of riding experience from the Daytona, as you would naturally expect from a naked bike, and it feels more comfortable to me.

My take on the S3 is that it fills the same niche in 2005 that the Bonneville did in the late 60s and mid 70s--a combination of power with nimble, intuitive handling, and clean lines, which nobody else puts together in quite the same way.

It just feels so incredibly good to be on the Speed Triple! Whether you ever intend to push it to its limits or not, you'll never find it boring.
