    I'm 64 and never had a British bike before . Rode the newly-acquired 2004 Speed Triple home 100 miles to home in Brighton , first impressions are very positive. I think I'll love it. Need to free the rear brake, which is irritating as I wasn't made aware by the former owner that it didn't work. I found out after 50 miles or so! Light, powerful, controllable and beautiful-looking.

    Welcome to the family. Do drop us all a picture of the steed so we the inmates can ogle it whilst nursey is administering our meds. Just tap on the upload a file here in the box and hey presto we are happy bunnies.
    Regards
    Regards & Ride Free

    Hi and welcome. I hope the previous owner was unaware of the back brake problem, if he did he is a twat....
