Bits and pieces just kind of keep you interested. I wanna see the whole bike.Thanks anyway Ken.
I know its a tease!
Headlights are a BIG improvement
Thanks Ken
Coincidentally I was looking at a the S-Triple 1050 ,even went to RI Precision Triumph (Thanks eboos) ,was impressed but this is just better ,
Maybe next year it will be MonsterM1050 ? lol

So glad the Stinger hasnt sold! Otherwise I'd have the 2010 now.
Summer 2011 the Speed Triple will be mine! Gonna get it from the Great Bay guys in North Hampton NH
I like the dual headlight the way buell did it. I just always felt like the triumph ones stuck out too far forward and looked out of place from a side view.
I guess I'm the only one that likes the traditional headlamps.![]()
I like the bugeyes but IMHO the reflectors could be designed better.
By the way, the official unveiling is next Tues./Wed. .....................

I liked the new headlights in the teaser pic, but in this picture they just look terrible. I wonder if the fly screen will help

Wow, I wonder if you could go back to the old lights as an option or something. The new bike looks really good except for those lights. Besides, the round lights are kind of an icon at this point, sort of sacrilegious to change those.

I feel like the new lights ride too high. Maybe if they were lowered a few inches they would look better.
Right now I'd take a round headlight S3 any day over that.
Not quite as bad with the more basic fly-screen -- the one with the tiny smoke-colored shield on top of it looks stupid as hell.
Still prefer the round headlights though.

The person who quickly manufactures an aftermarket dual round light bracket setup will be the big winnar.
Experience tells me to always reserve final judgement until I see the thing in person. I have never been a fan of the looks of the Speed Triple, but I changed my mind - both ways - often enough when the bike appears in reality!
For example. I thought the old Multi was pretty ugly in pictures. In person it looks....
...uglier!!!
(The new Multi - genuinely gorgeous...)

i like the new lights w/flyscreen. i love the s3 but always hated the bug eyes. these are an improvement.
