    Buying my 1st Triumph today. It's a used (2300 miles) Speed Twin 900.
    What should I know.... be wary of? .... some say front brake not amazing. Anything else?

    For the bike the brakes are good enough. Pads make a great difference. Its a nice reliable machine. You will find out yourself. Just take it easy till you and the machine gel,
