[Group] TRIUMPH Speed Triple Riders

[KingAbarth]

i used to do tat droolin thing at mah all the time

 

u can easily achieve 105hp at the wheel (which is close to 120 at the crank) with slip on cans(zard, arrow,leo, remus, etc) , air filter and a tor or arrow tune direct from triumph so there no warrenty voided , shiok right?

 

now tell me which fence u are sitting on , i go find u n push u over ^_^ !

 

honestly the bike is pretty aswesome as it is , my streetR is pretty stock ,

 

if u treat me kopi i'll give u a pillion ride! but dont fall off man , i had two pillion almost lose grip holdin on to me wen i gun the throttle

 

lol... i went down today and met Eugene.. i saw the 2010 unit and i am in love...

 

Its only a matter of working the terms out i guess..

 

but even if i do get it.. it wont be till July that im on the road..

[KingAbarth]

Same experience! And I like it! She asked me to go faster. So I did!

 

At least you have the physical bike to drool over. I had to fantasize over the pictures and videos on the Internet in 2008

 

BTW it's JIO, not chio

 

Hey KingAbarth,

 

Just get it lah. Think too much and you'll get sick of it. Want it, buy it, ride it and feel it for yourself! If you are afraid that Street Triple is not hardcore enough for you, get the Speed Triple!!

 

 

Dont worry abt the part being sick.. i have been thinking of it since last year june when i saw the review of the 09 model.

 

I dun think i will get the speed.. too heavy for my liking.. and i am not into power.. i just need good useable power..

 

for big power i have another toy..

Aaaahhhh .... I seeee .......... I am the complete opposite. I have another slow and heavy bike

 

You are right about usable power. This bike is so versatile. For me, the only area it misses out is long distance riding at high speed. Wind blast is too much for me to take once I go above 150kmph

 

I can't comment on the Speed cause I've never ridden it before. Maybe it's got MORE usable power? But I think the long distance riding at high speed part will be similar to the Street

Doesnt the head cow and the deflector shield have any use?

[yohji]

I dont have the wind shield. The head cowl is only for cosmetic purposes (for me). It's too tiny to have any use unless maybe you tuck yourself really low on the tank and hide behind it.

[swirlacer]

hey i got a question for u guys...when u bot ur bikes at mah, did they give away any freeebies?

[Shinsgbikes]

it does .. it helps u look cool ^_^

 

i cant ride the street triple above 120 for more then a few seconds.. the wind blast is to uncomfortable without any sort of fairing

(of course the big brother might ask me to pull over factor also there la )

 

anyway kingA, just go for it while the promo lasts , i waited 3 months aswell to ride mine cause of some big brother complications +_+

 

but somehow it worked out so im a happy lil boy , trust me u will be too

[swirlacer]

haha..shucks..i didnt get anything...muz go ask for it..haha..after 3 yrs on this forum...i am finally getting my triumph!!! now all it takes is to collect it. any accessories u guys think i shld invest in? mine's a daytona btw..

[freerangestormer]

I have only heard them on youtube.. so i cant say which is nicer sounding.. recorded sound is always off..

 

I rode a friends bike with the Arrow before I got the Zard for my own, so I prefer the Zard. For some reason I just found the Arrow a bit more tiring at higher RPM for more than a few minutes, drone. It is big as well which swung it at the end of the day. I wanted to fit panniers and travel so size + noise were the deciding factors.

 

Remember I am talking about a 1050 Tiger here, not a Street, the 675 with twin pipes could be altogether different.

Actually i am quite lost between the arrow slip ons vs the Zards...

decisions decisions decisions.....

 

Ive heard n seen the Zard duals slip ons in real life , taking off from a traffic light on the pie n on normal roads , it sounds nice n bassy but i just cant take the looks from the front 3/4 view.. its too flat n plain but from the rear it looks awesome thou i admit

 

the arrows form what i hear on youtube sound better its bassy but retains a very nice throaty sound like a mini V12

 

heres a gd clip i like to listen to ->

 

sad thing is the arrows arent legal here in sg which makes no sense , there decently quiet with the baffles in . if i do get them i'll switch the can ard so that the arrow logo is facing in n only the triumph logo ontop can be seen ^_^

 

n yeah ive heard of the SC exhausts, quite a variety they have for the street the full carbon duals looks nice n sound gd too

 

but im not sure if we can bring them in n get them legalised or not ..

[yohji]

I ride HULK to work this week. Can jio you ride to work hahaha! Just kidding. We can meet up and I can show you the Arrows.

 

 

Shin, Yohji

Yah man I've seen one 2 weeks ago at the RATS ride to Msia. They belong to a caucasian rider on the Street Triple R. They have baffles inside so they don't sound so loud.

 

Ive heard n seen the Zard duals slip ons in real life , taking off from a traffic light on the pie n on normal roads , it sounds nice n bassy but i just cant take the looks from the front 3/4 view.. its too flat n plain but from the rear it looks awesome thou i admit

I agree on your views on Zard. They look too flat and too black for my liking. But for something so flat, they do sound very bassy.

 

We can get the Arrows legalised. Just need to send it to LTA and pay $$$$. The slip-ons are Euro compliant. I dont see any reason why it can't be legalised here.
