Since Oct2003 I can say that I am a proud owner of a 95 speed triple.It is simply a fantastic bike.I, too had the same concerns with oil leaks & electrical problems prior to purchase.Being the first Brit,Euro bike I have owned I can safely say absolutely none of those horrible problems exist.It,s a big heavy beast& you,ll know as you sit on it & hear it running it ain,t Japenese.The 900 tiple is a real gem motor& sounds very tastful with after market pipes,even turning Ducati heads.The bike is definatly special& individual.The only critisism I have read (& I agree)is that the idiot lights are almost impossible to see during the day(mind u they look great at night!)& it,s a long reach to the bars if you,re a smaller person.I,m about 5/10 & I,ve adapted nicely to the bikes size&weight.Differences between 95 & 96 models are very minor,96 has 6 speed,95 has 5,although 1:1 is still the same, gears are just closer together on the 96.The rear shock is slightly lighter & front forks are shorter by approx 15mm.Enjoy the ride man, you,re gonna love it!
