Potential Owner

Looking at buying a S3 but whats the difference between a 509, 955 etc.
Want a single sided one, and have read the S3 issues but it doesn't tell me the differences.

Anyone help me?

I am sure its been covered before but cannot find it :???: :???: :???: :???: :???: :???: :???:

If I'm not mistaken, the T509 ran for 2 years--it had the 885cc engine. '99 model year switched to the 955 motor--much more power. '02 saw a new version of the 955--different castings & more power; also new body work. I've had my '01 since new & now have almost 24k miles on it. Best bike I've ever owned--probably won't ever sell it--it's that good. The S3 in my opinion pretty much has it all--power, torque, rider-friendly position & unique styling. I'm always getting compliments on mine--it stands out. You can tour on it, carve through the twisties & commute--I've done it all. Go for it; you won't be sorry!

Great photo :upthumb:

Bugz, have you done any mods to your bike? Yours looks bone stock in that pic. There are Tons of aftermarket parts that make the S3 very cool! I don't know what else to do to mine!

Actually guys, that pic "looks like me." It's a Triumph stock photo. I've tried to post my pic from the S3 photo album, but can't seem to get it to work. Dwarf, I believe the helmet is an Arai from '01; supposedly sold by Triumph.
BTW, my black '01 has the CF hi-mount exhaust, fly screen, seat cowl, union jack valve stem covers, hugger & 24k miles! STILL IN LOVE!
