Those era speed triples are the best looking by a mile. Nice score, even if the motor was blown it would have still been a bargain. I put a tail tidy on mine, looks way better to me.

Glad you're back with a new video upload. I think you are probably one of the most underrated KZfaq creators out there. I really miss your bike history vids. Great stuff bro!

I bought mine brand new in 2007, still stock (apart from a tail tidy) She’s now my sweet 16 and I still love her to bits!!

The beauty of the Triumph triple is that it has a pretty flat torque curve and there’s no bump in the horsepower curve. The HP is very linear and peaks at red line. So around town, in the lower rpm range the power is fairly mellow but get that out on the highway and get the revs up and it seems it’ll never slow down. Beautiful power delivery. Good to see you back. 👍

YES BOIIIIII WELCOME TO THE TRIPLE GANG 🔥🔥🔥

So the FZ1 is gone? I got my FZ1 partly due to your channel and will not be getting rid of it, unless it is crashed beyond economical repair. i love it. But you have such a great channel i will be sticking around even if no more FZ1 footage. loved your CBX show and great research you put into your vids. The time you put in is obvious and appreciated. I usually learn something instaed of having a motovlogger just read from a wikipedia page that we can all see for ourselves. You on the other hand come up with all sorts of info not easily found in just a minute or two of web surfing so hats off. You really put the work in.

I've been away from your channel for a while (sorry...) but just wanted to say it's so good to come back and hear you've landed a gig at Revzilla and see you've got a lockup (no more dismantling bikes to carry through the house) love that Speed Trip too 👌🏻

Love my 2007, with the stock low boy arrow exhaust. It's a classy upgrade IMO. If you haven't been above 7500 rpm yet, you're in for a treat.

Congrats. I have recently picked up a 2008 Tiger Sport 1050 with 25k miles from a bike shop owner who used it as his daily in pristine condition. Got some new soft side panier bags and have a touring screen on backorder then it will be ready for some Touring. These bikes can embarrass 600 bro's. Have a aftermarket pipe on mine (British Delkevic), sounds great and pulls great.

I've had my 08 Speed Triple for 2 years now and it's been my favorite so far. Its such a nice cruiser at 55mph in 6th.

Congrats on the Bike and the Job. Great to see more videos from you. Keep it upright and safe.

Enjoy the new bike and I look forwards to some more interesting videos. I haven't been able to ride my bike more than a couple of hundred miles this year, so it is nice to see one of my favourite biker channels doing some good miles. Happy riding. 😁

The round headlights Speed Triple are the best looking ones. I test rode that bike and fell in love with it: torquey motor, nice handling and comfortable. Correct me if I'm worng but in its last year of production I thought they released a R model that had had Ohlins front & rear. Funny - I know exactly where Bob's BMW is

Man, I knew you were gonna get a Speed Triple! Not only are these the best looking Speeds, the '05 - '07 model years have the best looking wheels as well. You're gonna love that bike! I certainly love my '06.

Awesome bike. Love those speed triples. Congrats on the revzilla job and the great deal.

My favourite youtuber returns. Great bike. I love a good triple.

Glad you're back. Sick bike! It'd be great to see some more of your riding around NY vids if that's still your thing.

I bought this same bike 4 years ago in roulette green. Its a beast on the track! First thing i did was find a flyscreen kit A9728015 and a belly pan A9708135 for it. It pulls it all together perfectly

Talk about a funny small world situation....I live 20 minutes from Bob's Bmw and looked at this bike in person. Almost bought it just because of how cheap it was but the cruise control on my S1K has me spoiled and when I get the occasional itch to ride an analog bike I have an 03 RC51 so I ended up buying a 2019 Crystal White RS from a dealer in PA. I love speed triples in general just for the noise, with a system they sound like baby 911 gt3's. Definitely big congrats on your new toy! I figured it would make someone super happy for the little bit of money they were asking for it. Surprised it made it all the way up to NYC though.

What a great buy. I've owned an '07, a '13 and a '13 R. Fantastic bikes. To this day I still own 3 Speedys - Two '96s and an '01. Once warm weather comes again, if you ever find yourself in western Mass, shoot me a message and I'd be happy to let you take a spin on my 1st and 2nd gen Speedies just to see where it all started. Ride safe.

viragos are exellent bikes. the 1st gen like yours tend to have a bag of rocks instead of a starter, but that is an easy fix. I got a 1995 virago 1100 and won't trade her for nothing. congratulations on the new job and on the new bike, brother!

Great seeing you are at it again and bringing the heat with a badass tripple. I got my F800ST from Bobs.

I love those bikes. It's weird, I live by the ocean, and had to move away for a couple of years. The salt air totally jacked up my 04 ZRX1200. Yours doesn't look anywhere near as bad, in fact yours looks pretty damn good, so you did an excellent good job cleaning it up.

You have to post it more. Also love the bike, someday I'll buy one, the sound it makes is amazing

Damn bro that's a steal, I'm happy for you. Good on you getting in at RevZilla.

I've got the same bike in the same colour. It does need the fly screen though. Had her for more than 6 years. Nothing beats it for fun around town for this price point.

The champ is back! Congrats on working at Zilla. My guys work at the Newport one a few streets down from my place.

Congratulations, mate. Triumph triples are some of the best engines ever made.

So happy to have you back. I've missed classical music over riding through New York

Great to see you back on the tube, loving the triple, the bug eye lights are cool. If you think prices in NY are bad, the cheapest one I've seen here in Norway is $8k and that's Fall prices just before six months of being parked. Enjoy yourself and keep it shiny side up.

Been a minute since you posted a video. Hope you're doing well and awesome Speed Triple!

i own a 05 black speed as well. Everything from the meaty shift *thunk* to the straight cut gear whine. The triple just has a feel and sound that other bike wish they had. I swapped out my cans for the Remus hexacone carbon fiber exhaust. happy riding man!

You scored a good one, that's the one I would get, better than the first one's, or the one's after. Those headlights are just Cool. Good looking,hard charging machine!

Awesome to hear about the job, man. Bike looks and sounds nice, too. I looked at a Speed Triple I wanted bad when I was trying to get another bike, it was white, but I couldn't do it at the time. That lead to me just waiting a while to get another SV1000. Glad to see another upload from you. I enjoy your vids.

Good to see ya back on youtube !

Nice bike! Great video, loving all of them. I own a jet black 2006. It’s cool to hear your radiator fan as well, i’ve been told Speedys like it hot. So hearing the fan is common. As far as the bike goes, keep an eye on the rear suspension linkage: grease those needle bearings. Keep an eye on the cam chain tensioner, they sometimes get stuck. Some people change them for manual ones. Mine had sticking front brakes, so a seal change was needed. Maybe yours is fine. I have read somewhere the Nissin brake pistons have been recalled in the past, and they changed them for better coated ones. Take a look at the oem Triumph bar end mirrors, they really look bad-ass. Enjoy your bike!

The 2009 1050 SE 15 year John Bloor Special Edition is probably THE best looking bike ever made. It was a retrograde step getting rid of those lovely Bug Eye twin headlights. Seriously the 1050 engine outshines later engines too.

My guys back and with the Speed Trip!! Bruh, don’t let your co-workers spin the block with with it😜. Real nice bike👌

Stylin´ and profilin´. One hell of a comeback video. Congratulations, she´s gonna be a lot of fun.

I'm looking forward to buy a Speed Triple from 2012 but man that gen it's also pretty nice. Love that triple and gear whine sounds

Bruv, I got my '06 SpeedTriple for $3k and absolutely adore it. I live in York PA, we should meet up!! YO AND YOU HAVE A VIRAGO!? I have an 82 xv750!! There is a thing called a 15 minute tuneup, where you start the bike and just let it idle for 15 minutes and the computers will re-learn the bike.

i live about an hour away from where your bike was made, you have an awesome bike.

The GOAT is BACK! imma get that popcorn right now!🔥🔥🔥

Yea Boi... The legend is back and better than ever! Amazing to.see you back and with a great bike at that. Congrats on the Speed Triple.

Really highlights how they dropped the ball on the styling of the new one. I'm not a retro/heritage guy, but they should have put the round LED lights from the new Rocket 3 on the speed triple.

Been fowling The Illestrator since before I got my license in the the rebel 250 days. super cool to see he got one.

He needs a Belly Pan and a Front Cowl something awful, but it looks so good. Going through these videos has me missing mine!

Good to see you back man. Congrats on the new whip! 🙌🏻

Nice grab!! I just bought an 09 in the same colorway and what a fantastic bike. Definitely a lot of power on tap; it's been enough to pucker me up a few times! Definitely a lot of smiles per mile.

I tried to talk my wife into letting me buy that exact bike. I remember the post and everything! I glad I didn’t. I’ll have one soon.

Hell yeah congrats man! I've had my 07 1050 for about a year now, such a sweet bike while also being sensible

Welcome back for your Triumph-ant return to youtube... again. Glad to see an upload. 😆

on my 2nd speed trip , funnest bike made ! sounds like you've got a great dealership ...may be worth the trip from Philly. pipe , tail kit and call it done !

Bruh, congrats on the bike, and congrats on the new gig.

This looks exactly like my 06. White with the blue text. I Love this Gen S3. Man, these were flying to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds back when it was considered absurd to go that fast.

My brother where have you been!! And your back with a triumph speed triple 🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾!

Definitely looks great in pearl white and suits you to a tee! I might be in the market for one of these myself, but I haven't the heart to sell my trusty Street Triple.

I’m in this same situation lol, found a 07’ With 12k miles for 3 grand 🤯, dude said he doesn’t ride anymore so it just needs new tags lmao a freaking steal!

Had a Triumph Trophy and even that big girl was fast. That engine sound... I would say enjoy your Triple but you will.

You came up with that bike fam! 💪🏼 great video!

Oh look! The illestrator is back. Yay! Nice bike too

Yes!! It's been a while!! Hope u & Ginger & fam are all good. We fixin ta deal wit hurricane sh!t this video will help take my mind off of it thank you Illest 🙏

Nice bike, probably my favorite generation of ST. Hope Revzilla lets you start making some videos for them.

Welcome to the speed triple fam!

It’s good to see you post dude, can’t wait for more🔥🔥🔥

You’re alive bruv 🙏🏽

Wellcome back to the world of the living brother, hope to see more content from you. Awsome bike :D

Good to see you! Love the new ride! Can’t wait until you can get out of the city and open it up a bit. 😎

Good to see you back, love the bike!

Good deal, nice bike find man. The giggling lmao I dig the exhaust change idea

hell yeah! i just got one too - 9/24/22- '09 with 4 thousand miles on it.

Dude, congrats! I wanted the tiger way back when, but bought a Tracer 900 a few years back.. love triples!

Great bike and what a bargain price, enjoy it man I no you will

Damn that's a freaking steal👍

One of my favorite bikes of all time. that 1050 is a monster.

Great to see you back . Good score on the Bike .

Very nice! I had to go back and watch Tom Cruise ride a Speed Triple 955 in Mission Impossible 2. All I could think was "How are his short-ass legs touching the ground?" Must be movie magic. The bad guy had a sweet Daytona, but I was always a sucker for the Striple, even with the huge levers and square mirrors. Something I never noticed before, when both bikes are on the beach for the big bike dual, they both somehow grow knobbies. Let me tell ya, a Daytona with full dirt bike knobbies looks weird.

Nice video my guy

Good looking bike at a great price. But your tires are the only things between you and the road and tires are not that expensive. I get some new tires ASAP. Best of luck with it.

Yep, I can relate to this, probably never letting go of my 2010. It has a couple siblings now tho (funilly enough, an '04 naked SV1K is one of them), but I need a garage man, bikes don't keep well sitting on the street in the UK weather 😭

Congrats on the new bike! I also have a white 07 speed triple and absolutely love it! i even got mine for the same price, haha, got it with a blown motor. after ordering a new motor and paying the backfees to the DMV i ended up at about the same overall cost. Hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoy mine Leo Vince GP shorty is the way to go for exhaust! and get a british customs master cylinder reservoir!

Hell yeah man! New content!

I was looking at those hard for a while before settling on a different bike, but still love that bike so much!

Nice pickup man! Also congrats on the job at Revzilla 🤙🤙

congrats .. hope you find some green hills time to tick some speeds off at your chosen hands and turn your wheels around on and over and up on and down from until you realize rock breathes finer than displacement bodies do ... loved hearing you use that word on the cbx series

if youre looking at new tires, I got Dunlop Roadsport 2's mounted on my SV1000 this year and they been great. THe difference between these and full on sport tires like Q3 or Q4 is ... the type of riding thats either very dangerous or very illegal outside of trackdays, haha Cheap too, ~$200 for a set!

Really nice new bike. I'm wondering what you did with the K100. I'm still working on my K cafe racer.

Pumped to see a video from you sir!

If you switch to a single slip on exhaust. You'll take off more than 20lbs. And fall in love with the burbles between 4 and 5 thousand RPM.

I was going to get one of them to replace my Speed Four that had just gone up in flames! In the end I went for a Ducati Monster 1100.

Congratz, it's a beauty

That'd be a good price even here in the U.K. Cheapest on ebay right now works out at $3420. Oh and thanks to our weather yours would be classed as "Near mint" haha

now, swap it for a single round headlight.. The one triumph puts on the thruxton with the T in it is pretty nice IMO...LOL Really though, I'd love to see a video where you take this to the Triumph dealer and compare it to a Street Triple.

I bought a 2007 Speed triple in 2019 with a bad stator and being through copart recently (it was very... very rough). I have since fixed it up mechanically, and continue to do small aesthetic mods. You got a steal of a deal on your bike, it looks great! After all the work I have put into the bike I don't think I'll ever sell it, it will always be worth more to me than anyone else.

absolute bargain and they are so good looking, i'm looking at one of these bad boys

Go grab some arrow exhausts and paint the shiny headlights black. Makes the bike look way better in my opinion.

Bro I was at the revzilla store like two weeks ago saw you bike, went full fan mode wish you were working that day would have been cool if you tried out my xsr900 congrats bro

highly recommend tech spec snake skin tank grips. The plastic tank is very slippery under acceleration. I feel you on the forever bike. I've had mine for like almost 3 years and I can't see myself selling.

Funnily enough, I'm going to be helping get one of these back to road soon, friend of mind got hit by a car and has been recovering for over a year now and its about time to get the tripple singing again.

Nice bike mate, good video, thanks!
