Demo rode Speed Triple 05 today

[BP_LONDON]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, very nice machine. Stonking engine and feather light controls. The bike handles perfectly, but I'd say the only thing I really don't like about it is the small turning radius. The steering locks much sooner than the Tiger.



Fuelling is spot on due to the new EFI unit - it seems much smoother and more forgiving than the 955i efi - although it is snatchy at times- by snatchy I mean you move the throttle a millimetre the engine will respond - it's super sensitive.



All in all a very FUN machine, but not nearly as practical as the Tiger.

Yeah...I'd call it "twitchy" it's a lovely machine, and it looks gorgeous but on a slightly bumpy road, I found the throttle way too sensitive. Jumped back on the Tiger, and I swear I did the same stretch of road quicker and smoother.

yes, twitchy is a good word to desecribe it. I guess its exactly what the wheelie guys are looking for.  8)

I loved it but I would get addicted to it - anyway. a third bike appears to be out of the question, if the feedback I got when I mentioned it is anything to go by .....

I think the Speed Triple looks great but is limited to urban riding only and with a limited budget I'll have to pass.
