More 2005 Speed Triple photos!

Here are a bunch of clear pics from the Dealer rollout.

Let the opinions fly!

My first reaction is - love most of it, will reserve judgement on some parts until I see it in the flesh. (the Rocket looked like a it might be a miss until I saw one in person).

I will be putting money down on a new ST based on what I see here.

A Big thanks to Team Triumph in Wisconsin for leaking, I mean posting these pics.

WOW! Nice pics! I'm really liking the new ST. Wish I could say the same about the S3...

I have to agree with beers2u

I agree with beers2u as well. Guess it looks evolutionary - seems to have quite some styling cues from an Mv Augusta Brutale (hopefully not the same price though!).

Like the USD and radial brakes. Also the pipes. Not so sure about the tail treatment partic the numberplate and hang-down (bit Suzuki SV1000-like)

I'll be holding on to my 04 model for a little longer I think!

dmbikerguy,

Wanted to say thanks for posting the pics. Awesome pictures!!! Hope there is other options for the S3 rather then just the blacked out version. I'd like to see it in Black witht the silver frame and rims.........looks much better (of course IMO).

Again thanks for the great photos. Did you get any insight as to when any of these bikes will hit dealer showrooms?????

Who let Eric Buell design the new xb, uh, I mean S3? Guess it's gonna be one of those gotta see it in person things... but it does look an awful lot like the Buell Lightnings.

Wish they didn't get rid of those beautifull three spoked rims and that they would do something to "complete" the rear end. Other then that I really do like the bike so far. I guess the in person viewing will be the determining factor.

You can say that the tail is a Buell copy, or you can say that they both are inspired by the custom streetfighters. Which was what the T595 was inspired by as well.

I don't know..from the pics..I say bleh.

Seeing it in person may change that opinion though..who knows.

I love the new Speed Triple - THAT'S what a naked street-fighter bike is all about!

Thanks for the pics!
