Hi everyone! I just bought a 1995 orange Speed Triple, and thought I'd introduce myself here. I haven't been able to find very much in the way of Speed Triple resources online, and this forum seems like it might just do the trick.
I'm a brand new rider, and I was looking for a used Kawasaki Ninja 250 or 500 to start out with, but I couldn't pass up the deal on this S3. It's clearly very different from a small Ninja, and I didn't know anything about them, but I fell in love with it when I went to see it. It's in great condition mechanically, looks gorgeous for a 10-year old bike (has one small dent in the tank and a couple of tiny scratches), has low mileage, and was being sold for a great price by an honest owner. It's a lot bigger, both physically and in engine displacement/power than I hoped for for my first motorcycle, but I'm not the reckless sort, am taking safety classes and am dedicated to wearing full gear, so hopefully I won't get myself killed... but if I do, it'll be with a great big smile on my face.
A couple of questions: does anybody have any links to full spec-sheets for the 1995 S3? I found plenty of things for more recent vintage S3s, but almost nothing for 1995. The bike didn't come with an owner's manual, so I don't even have that... how hard would it be to get a hold of one? And finally, anybody know of good S3 or general Triumph organizations, or good motorcycling groups in general in the San Francisco Bay Area in California?
Thanks. :-D
