'Born' does not really describe the arrival of a new Speed Triple, but what the heck, it surely is a star and I just want to show you some pictures of my bike arriving today at my favourite dealer's premises here in Holland (www.brabantmotors.nl):

Did you pass out cigars? :-D

I know the feeling...I'm still walking around with a stupid grin, and I picked mine up 2-1/2 weeks ago!
Good luck with it. You're going to love it.

Nice! Now that's a great motorcycle experience, watch them uncrate your brand new speed triple!!! Congrats on the new bike, and you thought you were grinning watching them uncrate her, just wait 'til the ride home my friend! :-D

Great pictures, seeing things like this and reading reactions always brings a smile to my face. Enjoy!!!!

I normally don't really dig the "here's some pics of by brand new, bone-stock bike" threads, but this is actually pretty informative. One dealer I talked to tried to charge me a $450 "setup fee." Now that I know that they didn't even need to put handle bars on it I'm doubly pissed. $450 to simply add the fluids is ridiculous.

Oh and congrats. I went for a black one since I don't like to stand out (probably a bad thing on a bike) but scorched yellow is definitely the best looking color for the S3. I'm sure you'll have a blast.

Someone should express an opinion that BLACK is
the best color :hammer:

I already mentioned this in another topic: did you know that the '06 scorched yellow is slightly different from the '05? My dealer showed me the difference, and there are also different codes in Triumph's parts lists. So when you buy/order colour parts make sure that you get the right colour!!
