I've always thought faired sportbikes were more stylish than their scantily-clad counterparts...

However this bike, is total hottness..

See "stubby tail" comment of mine in O&E Dream Bikes thread.

See Naked Bikes I Would Own If They Were Smaller in the Z750S OR KAT750 thread.

I love the Speed Triple. I ended up buying its baby brother (Speed Four) but I still want a Speed Triple some day.

Yes, the Speed triple is the sh$t. Saw it at the DC motorcycle show this year and fell in love. I love the Thruxton, too, but it doesn't have fuel injection.

ah the hooligan bikes. The Speed Triple is sweet.

So, my newest list of bikes to buy is:

speed triple
R6
FZR600

owning 4 bikes at once isn't too bad is it?

The rear fender looks like crap and the big ass can makes it look even worse...it would be a nice bike if those two items were changed a little....

Check out how high those passenger pegs are mounted -- it looks like your passenger's knees will be somewhere around their ears.

HOLY CRAP, did I misread that? Is the MSRP on these really $USD 13999.00?

another of the bikes that i would hump.

according to the reps at the dc motorcycle show that ray and i went to, it is made to be removed. it's only there for DOT reasons.
