    I just found this forum, looked around a bit and figured it would be great to join. I live in Floral City, Florida and am lucky enough to have two Speed 4's. My original one 2003 Roulette Green)still has under 10,000 miles on it. It was sitting in a heated/airconditioned most of its life untill a buddy of mine-Stephen Keszey of the Swamp Brothers finally sold it to me. I took the bike home with me and did a full service on it the bike was still like new 7,000miles. The only thing that I have added to it is a Muzzy carbon fiber can off of a Kawasaki ZRX1200R (one of my toys). There was a flatspot in the throttle (just under 2,000rpm's) but after installing the Muzzy can it is gone and it sounds awesome also!!!
    The Second Speed 4 that I have was given to me (had to travel 6 hour round trip to get it). 2003 Orange with 4,000 miles on it. It is going to end up as a track bike no title came with the bike. (lots of parts to be removed before that though). The bike was being transported and for some reason it got off the trailer and hit the ground (Very little cosmetic damage). most of the damage is the rear subframe body. Always had a soft spot for Triumph's as they are the bike of preference of my brother. We collect vintage Kawasaki's Z-1's KZ's and a couple of H-2's as well. I have done most everything you could do on a motorcycle from Dirtbikes to 1/8 and 1/4mile dragracing. The speed four is a breath of fresh air when taking any of my big bikes out is not needed (or wanted). [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]
