WILLIE's SPEED TRIPLE
Have the bike now about six month. There's lots of good stuff out there but it's all a bit the same. Then I saw a roulette green speed triple with colour coded fly screen, belly pan and rad cover. It looks like nothing else and, with it's 3 cylinder engine, sounds like nothing else either. Looks-wise, especially in the green and with the fly screen etc, it really stands out. It handles; brakes are excellent; there's power on tap from tickover. Triumph's first Speed Triple was similarly born of the three-cylinder 900 Daytona, and where most manufacturers tame the engines and use lower-spec suspension on bikes derived from their sporting flagships, so Triumph, in true streetfighter spirit, left everything just as it was.
