Fireskull · 24 Feb 2017 at 09:17

Haha! The scooter is probably heavier than anything I will attempt tomorrow....

Good point, most blokes locally between 40-60 are buying BMW's and Aprilias

I regret not getting the R version of the Street Triple.

The better suspension is worth it alone.

Agreed. I'm very happy I got the Factory version of the Tuono, and if I'd have purchased the Street Triple R I probably wouldn't have looked to upgrade.

I picked up a scooter for someone outside work.... so bloody light it got blown over into the side stand

Bloke outside work here had his Tmax blown over. Not quite light enough to just pick up easily mind.

Bargain at 4.5k, 2013 with 7k miles.

Craig321 · 24 Feb 2017 at 19:44

You getting another Street?

I'm not sure, maybe

TallPaul_S · 24 Feb 2017 at 20:23

Bah you've already had one of them!! A speed triple is only a little more.

Speed triple I'm looking at an extra 3k on top for a new shaped one, I could probably get that one I showed for 4k if I push it which would make it a no brainer.

Kreeeee · 24 Feb 2017 at 20:30

Plus a speed triple isn't an upgrade in every aspect.

Plenty of 2011-on Speeds around for £6k, or under.

And that street triple needs an exhaust, a headlight cowl, mirrors, a tail tidy...

That's £500+ there

Diddums · 24 Feb 2017 at 20:40

Something doesn't look right about it. I don't know if it's the camera angle, the mirrors or the red up front but it just doesn't look completely right. Probably just me though.

RyanF · 24 Feb 2017 at 20:48

It's crazy how much the headlight cowl transforms the look of the Street Triple, just looks weird without it

Diddums · 24 Feb 2017 at 21:29

Don't be a bender. Buy a speed.

The red is very tacky too, it's why I didn't originally get an R.
