Talking New(to me) bike

So I ended up with a 95 Speed Triple. fun bike, and it was pretty cheap too. Not too shabby!! It has 19K miles, still has shiny paint, and already has the airbox removed and 3 K&N Filters in its place. The thing pulls hard too. I was thinking of swapping some Daytona Super 3 cams in, and getting a 3 into 1 exhaust. I will post some pics later. To fill you all in, I was looking at a later S3, possibly a 1050, but I found this one, and it was too good of a deal to pass up. Plus, there are only a few around. (and its black!) I will post pictures tomorrow.

Welcome and congratulations! You might also want to check out the T3 Sports/Touring board as that is where most of the 1995-1996 S3 owners hang out.

That thing is a BRUTE! You'd better go to church at least twice a week to offset the effect it's gonna have on you.
