    hi newbie here from South lanarkshire sunny scotland, will hopefully be the proud owner of a 2012 speed triple in Diablo red by the weekend.
    Excited about riding the triple, all my previous bikes have been sports bikes.

    Well guys after a 660 miles round trip I picked up my 2013 speed triple in black yesterday with only 1400 miles on it, was originally going for a 12 plate red but ended up with this beauty at nearly same money,can't wait to get her out although my insurance company is closed till Tuesday will have to wait till then :-(

    Hi there.
    Iv been blown away with my triple,can't believe how much fun they are. So much more comfortable than my previous bikes with usable power and great handling, only down side I'm becoming a bit of a hooligan and can't help with an odd wheelie because they are so easy to wheelie :)
    Lots of goodies ordered will post some pics when finished.

    Welcome in Craig, even more fun to come when the weather gets a bit kinder and those tyres a bit warmer - then it's time to take a little bit off those chicken strips. ;):)
