It would have made no since to offer a bike $2,000 cheaper that can do everything it's big brother can do, and maybe somethings even better, like handling.
So good this is good for Triumph, and us as well.... Cant wait to see the new 08 Speed Triple. They needed the change, the 07 S3 wasnt even featured in the new Sport Rider Naked bike Shootout. |
gotta say i had a 2 hour thrash on a streety a week ago courtesy of`destination` triumph at washington west sussex ,yeah it handles well,but in my opinion with equal ability riders on a speedy and a streety i dont see the streety being better at handling,i know its lighter etc but i found it could be just as quirky in the twisties as speedy can be, and stopping in NOT as good as i found out when a cage pulled out on me
,to me speedy is all about getting your line right in the bends ,streety was about avoiding bumps that chucked it about abit in the bends,i liked it but only for the `differences` and it definately is NOT in the same class as the S3
waiting for the flames, greasy
