    Great bike for that money IMO! Although I thought they would bring out a single sided exhaust on this one, much like the street which I think looks much fresher....

    Guess they are trying to squeeze a few more sales out of this model.

    When the changes open with different colour rad cover and wheel pin strips you may as well stop reading :)

    Nice bike had the baby R in today for full SC project system, AF unit and Cordona quick shifter it sounded so good I just HAD to ride it and wow what a sound prob one of the BEST sounding bikes Ive ever ridden the Cordona shifter is slick and the bike blows cool 3ft flames on over run! Truly and awesome bike I loved it! Sounds much the same as the F3 TT bike, sounds like it's ripping through space and time....lol Tb it has changed my view of them totally ...loved it!

    As for upgrades I guess wheel rim tape is better than Hondas err err err nothing...lol

    Exactly, the most direct competition to the Speed is the Honda CB1000R, Which has not had an upgrade since it was introduced in late 2007 ! Looks a lovely bike.

    I loved my 2008 speed triple. Right shape light great engine but would not buy a new one. Looks like they stuck glue all over and rammed it into a halfords shop window
