Heh, was going to add a replay but cant really find the words. Laugh at a Speed triple?? Something is wrong here and it is not the bike. Few bikes I know have earned so much respect by any biker. From the guys on the latest japaneese plasitc rocket to the big guys on their HD. Low triple rumble throgh carbon silencer or the big roaaar when throttle is wide open. This bike got it all but wind protection :-)
