    Hey guys, am new to the forum but not new to bikes.

    Had to sell my '97 Bandit 600 at the end of last year to help pay the cost of divorce :pensive:. It's never nice to have to let go of the thing you love, but soon i'll be in the market looking for a younger model.... a 2014 Speed Triple! :yum

    Any particular issues etc I should be looking out for on the 2014 model or Speed Triples in general?

    Cheers in advance, am looking forward to this new chapter of biking :cool:

    Welcome to the family. The speed triples are generally a good bike and have that lovely triple ripple. Aided by a nice can. But really as in any bike you need to listen test. And look for the service history. Joe
