Does anyone have any idea as to when the 2008 Speed Triple will start getting to the US?

I have one on order and cant seem to get an answer from the dealer.

I have one on order as well and was told most likely end of March.

It will be worth the wait ! My UK dealer has one in stock as a demo to be registered in Mrch. It's a black one. The new wheels are stunning and very classy. Might consider trading in my green Speedy later in the year.

I hope it is worth the wait because it is killing me. I ordered the Blazing Orange and can not imagine what it actually looks like.

I have a 2008 blazing orange on order as well, trying to get info. from the dealer, is like everything is kept top secret nobody has a direct answer.
I never have ordered from triumph before, so I don't know if that is normal.
You would think they would give you a build date for your order off of a vin #
I never seen anything like this. Hopefully in march they will have a more accurate answer.

Good luck to everyone that has ordered!

Well we now know they sold two Blazing Orange ones. Maybe they need to get more orders so they can use a whole can of paint at once.

Theres a black and Blazing Orange one at my dealers.
The orange is a surprisingly nice colour.

Think burning amber's of a fire and your there.

Make that three Blazing Orange S3s. Although the changes seem minor to some, the change to Brembo brakes, the metal tank, the black anodized shocks (who the hell picked gold anyway?), and yes- the wheels, make it worth waiting for.
