i have a 2002 speed triple...it's loaded with tourque

i'd really worry about someone getting on it as their first bike.

my vote...start out on something smaller..maybe get one down the road.

 

I loved the speed triple. I wanted one bad for a first bike. But i decided to be smart and buy a SV650 to learn. It looks similar and has loads of torque.. After owning the sv, i found other bikes I liked more and upgraded to a completely different bike.
