    Default I'm getting old....

    Saw a very loud, very black Speed triple yesterday. Not 100% sure on the looks but the noise would give the pope wood.

    Are they any good for stupidity and carrying (small) passengers?

    You can carry a small passenger. They are good for stupidity and for basic hooliganism as well. they can also take you into the advanced stages of hooliganism too. And yes, they do sound bloody fabulous!

    Hmm, might take a look. Any complaints from small passengers or are they relatively comfy?

    cheers fella.

    Great hooligan tool. I've had two, and loved them with a passion. Wheelie-tastic, and the king of the traffic-light grand-prix. OK for small passengers for short distances - don't go touring with a pillion!

    I had to stop riding them, as they are impossible to relax and pootle about on (or I thought so anyway). They demand to be ridden aggressively all the time and every time. And for me, although it was great fun, I broke more bones than in the whole of the rest of my riding career.

    What Trog said.

    With the caveat that I went to the Isle of Man with a passenger and huge pile of luggage.

    She wasn't overly happy about it.

    I sold mine to prevent bones breaking.

    The sexiest production bike on the market imho, the naked matt black street is gorgeous. And no I don't own one! Too impractical for me atm.
