Thanks Joe for this idea!
I like it!
I love my Rocket 3 R!

 

OK - my Honda is faultless..... maybe that's not quite what you meant!!

 

Absolutely loved my last bike 1050 Speed Triple RS. Reluctantly had to part with it due to my age and onset of arthritis. Now got a 2025 Speed Twin 900 and loving it. It's comfortable, has a nice low bench seat, does over 70 miles to the gallon, handles well, plenty fast enough for safe overtakes and for once I can access the spark plugs without dismantling half the bike.

 

Thanks Joe. As far as I am concerned once I have to give up riding it's the beginning of the end. Long may it continue.

 

Seeing as this is a Triumph forum I will just say that my Street Triple is the absolute bee's knees (in case no one had guessed how I felt ). It is so light, handles sublimely and eats up twisty roads, will potter slowly through town or deliver screaming, howling speed (how I love the noise of that induction howl). It will happily tour through Spain and Portugal or take me camping. I have had it for four years now and still love it more every time I ride it .

 

I went from two speed triples, that I absolutely adored,to a Gt pro, haven't regretted it for one minute. If my aches and pains hadn't started affecting my enjoyment I would still have a speed triple in the garage.

 

As mentioned in my Newbie post, I went from 2 strokes, had a fairly long lay off from bikes, then bought a YZF 600R, which I still have.
On Friday I picked up my Speed Triple 94 and I love it. No more to say other than, I could sit and look at it all day and be happy.

 

My Triumph America is fantastic and probably the best bike I have ever had. I put it on a sidecar as due to my age riding a solo is too dificult. Now I just need to hang and smile. It pulls the sidecar (could probably pull two) and takes me back to my youth. Enough said.

 

Beautiful! Those Bumble Bee Speedys do look the dogs danglies.

 

Thanks @Dawsy yes, the previous owner thought so too.

 

Nice one Joe, my STRS is my go to bike these days, as Mrs V says, they are agile, quick and great fun to ride. closely followed by the Tuono which is a bit of a beast, but I love it.

 

You really have a fantastic bike collection!
