I Do Love a Triumph Speed Triple - And This Is No Exception! So What's The Story Here? :)

[@andymacpherson7424]

Love the colour.... Hopefully it Rides as good as it looks ...

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

I hope so too!

The t509 is the 2nd gen speed triple with a 885cc engine.

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

thanks

Looking nice.
If your going to touch up the paint work, I would suggest you drill out the tank cowling mounting holes just a tad (not the actual threaded holes, just the cowling) It allows the cowling to move about a bit under the expansion/contraction from the sun's heat and stops the cowling from fracturing around the bolt holes, common problem (and don't tighten the bolts down to much). Also sand the back side edge of the tank cowling where it gets close to the tank (bottom side corners just above the frame) they always crack there because the cowling ends up touching the tank and pressure will crack the bottom pointy bit off at the lowest side bolt, common problem. Then you can touch up the bit you sanded. It`ll take 15 mins to do the lot. The cowls aren't to easily available and cost quite a bit. Bit of preventative maintenance could pay dividends.
High level Triumph TOR side pipe. Sound to die for :)
Excellent motorcycles. Mega future classics, there's nothing like them.

Thanks for the comments, and the advice 😁

[@2WheelDerness]

The fork travel look very limited... wonder if they did the job properly when try to lower it

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

No idea on that, but seems to ride perfectly well 😉

Brilliant, any new cars on the horizon?

Hope so George, but used car prices have gone crazy, and it's tough to find anything suitable for the channel right now, but I'm looking everyday so stay tuned 😁

Hi I think I was the second owner of that Triumph 👍

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

Hope it wasn't you who put all the garbage on it Alan 😂

[@alanwilliams1215]

@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes no it was stock then😂😢

[@harrycourt4794]

The T509 is an 885cc

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

Only up until 2001 I believe, then changed to 955i engine , this has the T509 Dash with the 955i engine, which was just on the turn I guess 😉

Not gonna mention it's been lowered then

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

Not sure it has? felt the same as any other Speedy 955i I've owned, unless I'm shirnking in my old age! (apparently that's a thing lol)

Mine died at 50,000miles.
