My girlfriend's dad has a Speed Triple and I've taken it around a few times. I don't have any other experience on big bikes, but I felt bad riding it around town, couldn't open it up. But plenty of torque, looks cute, and I happen to love the whine as it's super distinctive compared to most bikes you see and hear.

On the other hand, that front end lifts up pretty easily, almost too easy...  Police

But oh shit, that werkes exhaust sounds amazing. i've heard one in person. applause

Ok good thing about the Werkes. But I'm sure it's not gonna be deep throaty like my Arrow...

Being 1050 triumph rider, I love the bike.  Torque and great for twisty road.  It's not a top end bike.  It's a great hooligan bike.  I have logged 30k miles and have had less issues on it than my 620. Monster.  Mind you, I love my small monster still but the ride is night and day difference.

N first thing I did to triple is full 3 to 1 arrow exhaust.  Great sound.  Not too loud or annoying.
