General Comments
This fantastic Triumph Speed Triple brings fun to sports bikes like few others. More power, better brakes and better handling than the M900 monster.
Personally I ignored the Bug-Eyed monster stance of the machine and concentrated on the ride delivery, but it's looks will put some people off.
It feels like riding a 110 bhp bicycle, so precise that you can choose which millimeter to put the front tyre. Brakes are Nissin and are massively powerful. They surprised me many times and saved me and an insurance claim at least twice.
Commuting to London (250 mile round trip) cost £15 GBP per day in rear tyre alone. So don't do that.

Insurance
So, if a driver with the $5,000 minimum totals out your $15,000 bike, his insurance company will pay you only $5,000. How will you get the other $10,000?
