I need one, In green of course. Might have to add one to the stable once finances work out. Got to keep my s4 being that it's my first bike, and who knows, it may end up a collectors item being the last of the triumph inline 4's and all

Saving already. Very much of the "speed" ilk, which it should be.

Half toying with the idea of selling the S4 before the Street Triple is released to avoid the inevitable price plummet. The question is, should I?

I can clutch my Daytona 675 up on the back wheel in second gear at about 80kph and 8k revs, so with the more upright riding position and higher bars, 2nd gear mingers should be easy on the street triple, despite the lower power.

I expect to see the roads full of young squids minging all around - up at the Rock Store on Sunday and there seemed to be a lot of buzz about the bike - I would imagine sales will be quite good. :razz:

Lower top end means more torque in the wheelie band.

I like to visit various Triumph dealers when I'm traveling on business. Yesterday afternoon I rolled up on a dealership and peering through the windows (the shop was closed) my gaze fell upon the Street Triple.

One word involuntarily escaped my lips: Whoa!
