Drooling, excessively...

[philosopheriam]

So, I have decided...

As soon as I pay of my truck (very soon), I'm going to save up some cash and buy a 2012 Triumph Speed Triple R.

I saw pics of this bike and it gave me a boner...

i think your the first person who actually likes the way the new ones look lol
the headlights kill the whole bike for me

I have to agree with chevyfazer. Looking at it straight on isn't too bad, but from the side is where it gets me.

I am in the same boat too!

I made the mistake of going for a test ride on the 2012 Speed, with arrow cans.

I can honestly I was blown away by its raw power, sound and handling.

Not dissing my fizzer but it felt quite lethargic and heavy to ride after the Speed.

I am genuinely thinking about chopping the fizzer for the speed as I too had a boner when I rode it. :BLAA:

I've ridden the Street triple R with Arrow cans. That gave me a boner so I'd imagine the Speed might even make me soil my pants.

I think with the fly screen on, the headlights look better. When I first saw them I thought they were terrible and they would never grow on me, but they have.

Get one I say.

"Naked" bikes sure cause a lot of boners around here...

It's almost Pornographic!:BLAA:

Looks-wise, I'm not a fan (the headlights kill it, imo), but it's a killer bike otherwise! I rode the older model (2010) and THAT was a blast to ride.. this one is supposed to be even better.

I haven't actually ridden one but I have to agree with the majority here, the headlights kill it for me. I wasn't really a fan of the old style headlights but I like them better than the new ones. That being said I haven't heard anyone come off riding one that didn't like it.

Pretty close to what I was thinking....

It looks like the new style of womens sun glasses....bullit shields.

Great body tho:BLAA:

Lights can be changed, and I agree, I didn;t like the new ones at first, either...

However, they have grown on me, and I am in full drool mode!

This is the photo that changed it for me. I hated those lights but from this angle with the fly screen on the street triple I started to think 'actually it looks modern and I think I quite like it'!

BINGO!!! Thats why I dig it now!

 

[ebster1085]

That bike is fresh!

 

[FIZZER6]

thread is worthless without pics so here you go....sorry for the huge size but you have to see it in full res. The headlights are strange but it's still a bada$$ looking bike, IMHO.

 

[going going.....gone]

Looks like its missing something and I can't quite put my finger on what. Maybe a small headlight shroud/fairing to make it flow a little bit more.
