Hi guys,
I'm new here and just bought my first bike yesterday. The Craigslist Ad said it was a 1998 Street Triple 955i (I understand this bike is non existent..). I thought, due to the SSA, it must be a Speed Triple 955i and that the owner just misremembered the name. Now, running the VIN online, my computer is telling me that I own a T595 Daytona.
Which brings me to the question, is there any way to tell a Speed Triple 955i and T595 Daytona apart if both bikes are naked? Should I just believe the VIN number and call it a day? Bike has a "replacement VIN" riveted on to the frame, which matches the number on the title and did not come up as stolen or wrecked when I searched in an online database.
Thanks for any insight you can provide,
Spence
