Gutted to be selling my 2003 Speedy. This bike is in mint condition and has covered under 4000 miles from new. It has the following factory - fitted from new:- Custom Paint PFKL1189859 Tank Pad PFKL1190893 High Level Exhaust Carbon Can Datatool System 3 Alarm Belly Pan PFKL1189446 Radiator Cowlings PFKL1190970 Fly Screen PFKL1190944 Axle Cover Kit PFKL1188340 Seat Cowling PFKL1189367 It will also be sold with:- Tank Bag PFKL1187111 Tank Bag Harness PFKL1187134 Tank Bag Bracket PFKL1191208 Rear Seat Pad It's bog-standard aside from a set of polished stainless steel engine bolts. It was serviced last year at Lings Triumph and had 3 x new coil packs fitted at a cost of over £500 - aside from that, it's been well-maintained and has never had any issues whatsoever. I bought the bike from a close friend in 2012 but unfortunately, I've suffered a back injury and now struggle to ride it. It has had the factory recall work done (replacement fuel pump fitting) and the only thing it could do with is a new set of tyres - the originals have loads of tread but have started to age. I have no accurate idea on what it's worth, but it has to be the best available of this model and looking at others for sale, has got to be worth £3500? This bike is a genuine, well-cared for, immaculate example of the year and I really would like to see it go to someone that appreciates it as much as I have!

That is such a beautiful bike Andy, sorry to hear that it has to go because of an injury, but I’m sure it’s going to fetch a good price in that condition. Good luck with your back and the sale.
That's a cracking looking bike,16 years old and only 4000 miles on the clock, that's only 250 miles a year ..it's not even run in yet, such a shame you are unable to ride it.£3500 seems a lot for a 16 year old bike but considering the mileage and the condition maybe it's not
BullDogBobby. Sorry to hear about your back. If I had the money I would take you prize machine off your hands straight away. I do hope you get better soon and find a machine that suits your back. Regards Joe
Five years time £3500 will seem a bargain, these are an emerging classic, most have been crashed and trashed, if I had the space I’d pay £3500 for it, doubt you’d find another that good.
Thanks for all the positive comments lads - It really is as described and the reason for sale is genuine - I still love to ride it when I get the chance but can only do (relatively) short distances and unfortunately, I pay for it the following day! Absolutely love Triumphs and the triple engine and If I do sell the speed Triple, I'm gonna go for a Tiger Sport - heard it's a speed triple on stilts (sounds ideal!)
BullDogBobby. There are shocks out there that could sort you speed triple. But suppose its money wasted if it doesn't work. Wish I knew something to repair backs. I even feel it these days when I go longer journeys. Bloody Bummer this getting older. Regards Joe.
The bike sold this morning - be sad to see it go but look forward to getting the Tiger Sport! Thanks for all the comments!
Thanks mate - the Speed Triple was picked up yesterday and the guy was delighted with it.Taking the Tiger Sport out tomorrow, I'm sure I'll love it and I'm sure it'll be a bit easier on the back!
