I used just one bar end mirror on the left side, as this keeps a more tidy look, and works much better than getting a veiw of your shoulders like the stock mirrors.also the flyscreen is a must, although a bit pricey. oh by the way, the stock mirrors are hideous and some of the first stock components that should be replaced.

I say you can't beat the all around versitility of the triple cylinder engine, low end grunt mixed with top end scream. I won't even start on its ability to hoist the front tire effortlessly with only minimal amounts of throttle input. I've rode alot of sportbikes, from yamaha R1 to gsxr1000. my triumph is definately down on power compared to the offerings from japan, but i like the exclusiveness of my triple,and who really needs that much power on the street anyway. triumph speed triple is a very good overall machine, from tearing up the canyons, sport touring, track days, stunting, I've had mine camping on mountain trails,and also have road on snowpacked roads several times.triumph fan for life. i own an 03 model which is the same as the 04 you tested. i have a power commander and a custom exhaust. it runs way better than stock and sounds amazing.

I'm looking forward to se how the bike performs on the track. The mate I wrote about who just got one, is comming with us to the Poznan track next week. Cheers. Thank you for commenting, Peter.

Midrange pull, deep growl and smooth engine underlines what a classic motorcycle is all about. Suspension is firm and dampers are spot on for blasting around corners. Wind protection, as would be expected, is mediocre. Tested the Speed Triple this weed with near identical impression.
