I thought the model in the picture was a Mark 2 Speed Triple. The first was the T3 series (black, boxy and twin exhausts that used to feature in a one-off race series). The Mark 2 started with the T509 (mine is the same as the one in the McQueen photo), then the T595, the pre-02 955i, post-02 to 04 955i and the most recent model, the 05+ 1050.
Must get the mag just for the bragging rights of the cover picture !
