Hailwood Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) *** SOLD ***After several years of enjoyment, I have decided that it's time to part ways with my 2006 Triumph Speed Triple. The bike has a clean/clear title and currently has ~7200 miles. It is in fantastic mechanical and cosmetic shape. $6200.This has been one of the best bikes I've ever owned and probably has the most balanced performance of anything I've ever ridden. The riding position is great for spirited riding, but comfortable enough that 9 hours in the saddle are no problem. The real gem on this bike, though, is the engine. It has an excellent amount of torque, and sounds fantastic, especially with the Trident exhaust.Here's a list of the extras included:Triumph Fly ScreenTriumph Seat CowlTriumph Carbon Tank PadTrident Carbon Slip-On Exhaust w/ TORS TuneFAB Rear HuggerFender EliminatorLSL Frame SlidersPhotos of the bike as she sits today:The bike has been down once in a relatively slow lowside back in 2009, and had some cosmetic damage. It was completely repaired using new Triumph OEM parts and is indistinguishable from new.Feel free to shoot me a PM with any questions or to set up a time to come by and check the bike out in person.Thanks for looking!

Uncle Punk Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 The pictures look great but they don't do this bike justice, it is just beautiful in person. The one time it went down was very minor and cosmetic in nature, it was ridden home the damage was so minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstrosity Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 DAMN! Nice bike I've missed my 05 ever since I sold it. Very well balanced, best of all worlds with this machine. Good luck with the sale I'm sure it will sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailwood Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Thanks for the kind words, everyone.It really is a great bike, and I've really enjoyed riding it, but now it's someone else's turn to enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailwood Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Quite a bit of interest so far, but still for sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mello dude Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) Quite a bit of interest so far, but still for sale! Your Duc and the Trumpet bikes both deserve a "Wow" - Wish I was in the market, but we're headed to winter and I got plenty to tinker on with the bikes I have now. GL- Kinda of a whacked question, but is the rear hub on the Triple the same as a VFR? (It would be an interesting swap to a single nut hub vs the 4 lug nut style of the viffer. The wheel looks lighter too.) Edited September 21, 2011 by mello dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailwood Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Got some fantastic weather headed our way, at least for now - perfect for picking up a Speed Triple to enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I would love if my triple sold and I could pick yours up. I love the triple mine is just getting long in the tooth after owning it for 11 years. I never rode one of the new triples but if they are better then my old one I want one LOL!

Hailwood Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Congratulations...so how close are you to buying a Ninja 1000 now?1 bike closer - Once the 900SS is sold I plan on looking for one.Looks like some decent deals on new ones, plus I may see if any low mileage used ones pop up on the market in the Spring.

LINK Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Yeah I have noticed some good deals for new ones, not sure on the other costs or fees on some of them, but the pricing I have seen for some is pretty good.I am sure there will be some used available too, as you mentioned.Funny thing, I switched bikes with a friend of mine for a bit this past weekend, he wanted to ride the Ninja, he has a GSXR750...lets just say I cannot see myself going back to a race replica bike anytime soon, not saying never, but I just do not see why I should or even would again, don't get me wrong his GSXR is a great bike, just not for me anymore...he said that he was impressed, and surprised by the Ninja overall, not at all what he expected...he is considering one for himself now.Best of luck with your search!
