BTW, you don't need a relationship to test ride a triumph. Most dealers
just require proof of insurance and a valid M1.

I have loved every second I have spent on that bike, but last May it was taken out by a driver making a right turn from the left turn only lane.

Since I am keeping my bike, there is no point in getting another SV, but the new Speed Triple seems to fill a similar mission, but with more cojones.  Does anyone on the list have any seat time on the new style triple? I'm really looking for an SV rider's perspective, not one from a die hard Triumph fan.  The local Triumph dealer isn't far ( 120 mile round trip) but I don't have a relationship with them, so a demo ride will be a bit difficult.
