Just picked up my first speed triple a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier. 09 Blazing Orange w the arrow dual mounts FTW! Put 1500 miles on the last couple weeks and it's an absolute blast to ride. I got rid of my old Cb919 hornet and Cbr600rr to buy it. Worth every penny IMHO. Never ridden a Bonnie before, but if the speedy is what continues to catch ur eye, u won't be disappointed. It cruises easy, handles well for a street bike, and the engine is amazing. It's like having a comfy barstool that flies. Oh and the SSSA is a plus no doubt.
