Are early Speed Triples the barsterd child here?

Maybe I've missed it, but I would've thought the early 885 Speed Triples/Daytonas etc would be regarded as 'classics' but I see nary a mention of them anywhere. Is there a special little hidy hole for the early S3's on T-rat that I cannot find?

In this context, "classic" means classic looking, or retro. Nothing to do with their status, although many owner would regard them as classics.

Your post has been moved to the special hidey-hole in question. Welcome to the T3 Sport/Touring forum, where we love the carbed 900s.

Cheers,

These were in fact the first in America, of the new Hinckleys. And yes, it is the bastard stepchild, of course - wouldn't have it any other way!
