Triumph Triples: Speed vs. Street

[fjrrider RI]

ok now what the hell is a harness on a motorcycle? and this 675 cc triumph where is there more info on it? Sorry if this is off topic but it is a triumph.

My 2002 sprint RS has the same engine as the 2002 s3. A fantastic motor! My bike has 51k on it and no problems, and i've never heard anything bad about triumph's triples quality wise.

My vote is for speed, but I would be happy to own either of them. If I can find one I can afford I would love one as a second bike, and I will seriously consider it as primary bike when it's time to retire the sprint.

I appreciate all the comments. A Street/Speed Triple is on the short list for the next bike come next year. I want to try something different from the Desmo twin!

I think you'll be pretty pleased. I feel like the triples are the best of both worlds, lots of torque, but it still spins up pretty high. Plus, the s3 is one of the prettiest bikes around....

See if you can get a test ride. Performance cycles in shrewsbury offers demo rides sometimes. I rode an s3 there last year and I loved it.

heh heh
I own a Tiger 1050.
Bought it almost exactly 1 year ago.
8000 miles on it so far and I am just ramping up.

I love the torque and sound of the engine, the agility is amazing going through NH twisties and the comfort of the ride is wonderful.

My only experience with triples is my 675 and wow is all I can say. I never thought I would buy a non-Jap anything but I lucked upon this thing and it's been simply amazing. I will say that it spent some time sitting due to a loose pin on the harness but don't let that scare you. The handling is razor sharp and the motor . And the motor.


Oh yea, the motor is awesome.


Motor.

daytona and street might both have 675s, but the output is different on them. I don't recall what is actually different, just that the street is significantly less powerful than the daytona.

I know it will not happen, but i'm waiting to see the 1050 in the Daytona Chasis....that would be a liter bike I would actually consider buying.

Ha, that's funny, Jeff posted his bike's for sale ad on the Bennington Triumph Bash site this morning too, and I told him he should post it here.
