Sweet!  You will love it.  I sold my Speed Triple a few years ago and bought a SV650 - no comparison!  Sold the SV this year, and promised myself a new Speed Triple sometime in the future.

      Whoa Jim,
                  That is a tough looking bike you've got there, sitting close to the Very Cool looking 400F.
           The Triumph IS sharp and I'd be interested in how it handles and rides but, I sure would like for
           you to share the story behind the Super Sport,
           with us. Keep up the good work.

it really is uncanny how similar those two blue bikes look...

if only... separated by 30 years.

What can I say...... the S3 is in the BEST of company sitting next to my pride and joy, 400F. I have a few more shots of them together and they do have a lot of similarities. When I get some good weather to really put her through the paces, I will let you all in on the details. So far ......to good. It's much like the 400F, but it's on a 80+ HP steroid shot and it will stop faster than you can get the thought of stopping through your head.  ;D
