Speed Twin has had its 1st service, and freshly serviced K-Tech shocks and SW Motech chainguurd fitted from my wrecked Thruxton. The difference in weight alone between the standard shocks and the K-Techs is 'shocking'. Was going to change out the silencers for some Hitchcox ones but not sure I'll bother, standard cans sound really nice. All ready to go again for Spring after the depression of having my Thruxton written off last month. Maybe the odometer reading is an omen.
@TonyG, Its a nice machine mate. Or should we say you Devil. Good luck and enjoy it. Same here I have stopped spending fortunes on exhausts and settle for the OEM ones. Joe
Cheers Joe, looking forward to the summer, so far I really like it though still doesn't feel quite as nippy as the Thruxton.
IMO the Triumph classics sound good straight out of the crate. Ear bleeding race cans just don't do it for me anymore although, 30 years ago, it was a different story! A heavy frost this morning so roll on Summer!
A lovely looking machine for sure. I think this is my favourite colour in the Mk2 Speed Twin. I'm sure you will love it as much as your Thruxton in time
Your new bike is looking good, @TonyG! I'm late to this thread so hopefully your odometer is well past that creepy reading in the photo.
