Motorcyclist Magazine says that the Speed Triple is, " . . .a whining, whirring, growling, shrieking symphony of internal combustion menace squelched to socaially acceptable levels by a pair of chrome muffler cans wedged under the seat. The new chassis is brilliant . . . .It's comfortable . . . . It's quick and agile . . . .and it's impossible to confuse the Speed Triple with anything else."
