One Word on the Speed Triple

[bizarro]

Very nice!!!! I sure do miss mine.

I sure do miss mine.

We really must do something about this...

Is OMGthisbikerips one word?  This thing is freekin unbelievable.  I take a chance and spend a few miles going through the motoguy's break in recommendation and the damn thing stands up on its ass end in second gear and all I did was roll on the throttle!  God I love this bike.  Good thing I'm wearing a full face  

I'm really impressed at how easy it is to ride smoothly.  Throttle response, even off the stop, is smooth.  Balance is superb.  Matching revs is easy.  And that sound...

I hate you.

Mine is still in the crate, at the dealer, and we just got 6" of snow/sleet/hail/rain here..

Green looks bad on me sorry.

Green looks bad on me sorry.

....but it looks oh so good on the 07 Speed Triple  

Mmmmm.... Roulette Greeeeeeeennnnn

I am glad that Triumph rectified the egregious mistake they'd made in '05 and '06 by not offering the coolest color- Roulette Green.

AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!


So the question I keep asking myself is - when I have the money again for a bike, do I go sensible and get a Tiger or follow my Id and get another Speed Triple?

Thats a tough question. If the new Tiger was around last year I might be riding that now but not sure. Put a single sided swing arm and underseat (ala S/T) exhaust on the new Tiger and its trade in time...

Yea, right?
I would've bought that color hands down over the "pee" color i have now  
Its my most favorite-est-est color ever.

Although i do like the "pink" too. What was that called? Atomic red? Nuclear red?

[fuzzygalore]

....do I go sensible ....  

I'm not familiar with the term.  

If you were "sensible", you'd be driving a Buick  

I try to pick the one that makes my legs get wiggly  

[bizarro]

Well, that'd probably be the Speed Triple then....

I'm hoping maybe around Christmas time, but it would involve getting a loan which I'm not super excited about. I haven't had a loan on a vehicle ever except for my first bike and the Fuckenstein and I promised myself I wouldn't do that again. But.... for a Triumph I might have to make an exception.

[Stormer]

Fierce.

Hmmm.  Lemme contemplate for a nanosecond.  Look, I don't know if you prefer chocolate or vanilla, Red Socks or Yankees, foofoo latte or house blend, but there is one thing about Bizarro everyone knows - it's Speed Triple.  Come on.  If you go Tiger you'd have to change your screen name.  It's like Bizarro and Speed Triple are synonymous.  I'd be surprised if your first impression of the Tiger wasn't "nice bike but these bars have got to go."  

Besides, contemplate this.  Dec 07 trying to find a left over '07 Tiger.  Strike one.  Trying to find a dealer to make a deal on the left over '07 Tiger he doesn't have.  Strike 2.  Trying to find a used '07 Tiger.  Out on strikes.

S3?  Not so.
