Sad but true. I’m going to miss this bike. This was my first performance bike after six years on a Harley. What happened is that after purchasing the S3 I realized I’d better get some sport bike ridding lessons. Turns out I’m a quick learner and I LOVE TRACK DAYS! I’m totally hooked. This bike leaves the others behind in third gear (ok, not a liter race bike), but I was able to pass a GXR 750 on the straight last weekend! But truthfully, an S3 is not really made for the track. Ergs are all wrong, and we all know how well the fly-screen works (looks cool though).
The good news is my replacement bike will be a Daytona 675! Supposed to show up sometime this month.
So, what do you think I should sell an 05 S3 with 4500 Miles on it for? Has the fly screen, seat cowling, Triumph off road cans.
Maybe I should sell the off road can’s to someone here and put the stock one’s back on?

PS: Don’t say the obvious and tell me I should keep both bikes.

TOR's probably aren't going to help your resale very much, I'm sure someone here would appreciate a set.

Good luck w/ your 675.

Two totally different bikes, If I was to get a trackday bike it would be one of the following

1. SV-650
2. 675
3. R6
4. GSXR-750

If I want a HOOLIGAN bike there is only one choice

SPEED TRIPLE!

Enjoy your new ride, send some pics.

Ton Up!

I might be interested in your TORs if you decide to go back to stock (Seattle local).

Cheers!

If they are the impossible-to-find carbon TORS, I will buy them. I am Seattle local as well.

What color is the fly-screen. I would be interested in that if you are willing to part it out a bit..........Let me know........

Sorry to hijack, but how come my 1050 is the only one I've seen in person in Seattle? I saw a blue '05 headed northbound on I-5 on the ship canal bridge last summer, and that's it! I rarely see any previous gen triples either.... what gives?
