What's up guys, just thought I would take a minute and introduce myself. I've been a jap sportbike owner for over 10 years, until about 3 weeks ago, I purchased a 05 Speed3. I still love the jap *****, but I must say, I had no idea what I was missing until I bought my Speed3. This bike should have it's picture beside the word "motorcycle" and "fun" in the dictionary! Truly unbelievable motor with the low end grunt!!! I've got some TOR's on the way to give it a nice sound, and hopefully boost some guts a little bit, although I won't be that disappointed if it doesn't. So enough about me, just wanted to introduce myself. Any other guys located in NC, shoot me a message, maybe we can get up together and ride sometime! Later.

cheap,

Welcome to the Trumphet club!!! Congrats on the purchase. FYI, Since the first blip of the throttle when I bought mine over a year ago I still have a grin every time I ride.........and I am a daily rider........................... :-D

Ken,
I feel ya' on the grin factor! :-D I know I'm just getting started on my speed3, but I can't see the pure fun of this bike ever fading. Thanks for the welcome, guys.

Welcome aboard, love the handle!
Sweet stable of some of my favorite bikes you had there (yammies).

Wait until you put the TORS on and get the associated re-map, I'm sure you'll love it. :wink:

thanks rude, I'm sure I will too. Heck, I like the way the thing sounds stock, but I heard a sound file on here from a guy that recorded the stockers and the TORS under load, and they sound better 4sure! Plus, I've also read that the TORS and the remap add a little midrange and top end, and although the bike has plenty of midrange, it never hurts to have more, right? :upthumb:
