Noticed in the previews a few times now and each time I catch the frame on the bike and think...That's a speed. Finally had a minute to look it up and sure enough; appears to be an RS with with some mods; stubby cans, new headlight, maybe some dash work but otherwise unchanged...well, apart from its ability to drop, twist like a pretzel, and slide under a semi's trailer.
Ok, now that Idris rides a Speed Triple, he truly IS the "Sexiest Man Alive". I'd have placed him in the Top 10 before OhCrumOn's post.
They look similar bikes but if you look closely you will see the differences. To start you off. 1 the cans are in different positions, 2 the seat is different and 3 the tank has been shaved down. Through the grapevine ive heard they used 10 x speed triples in the film.
I think a couple of triumphs were used on the last mission impossible film. A tiger and either a speed or street triple while Tom Cruise's character used a BMW R nineT. I watched the film before I joined the triumph family so I didn't fully pay attention.
I saw the film on friday, I found it hilariously entertaining, and full of weird and wonderful 'physics' as per all F&F films. I loved it!
