“My 2008 blazing orange 1050 is the best bike I have ever had.Power, torque, handling its all there.So easy for me to push around in my garage now I'm getting on a bit!.Passing traffic is easy with loads of pull in any gear.Not the most practical bike,but on a sunny day on the open road, who cares about that?Not me!!”
“although an [old!] 2006 model, I love it and have owned it for nearly 5 years. Short and fairly light, so quite easy for me to manoeuvre about in the garage. Enjoyed touring in France with panniers fitted, and bag on pillion seat. After-market alarm fitted when I bought it seems to drain the battery when bike not used for a few weeks, so may get alarm removed/disconnected on next Service - usually leave it on a trickle charger during Winter months, as like to keep it on the road all year round! Would definitely consider a newer 1050 Speedtriple when I want to change.”
“Lovely little bike, sounds great with the Arrow exhaust, handles well and even performed well on the Nurburgring is fairly comfortable on longer journeys. Benefits from the small fairing over the clocks
Cracking all rounder and looks fab in Matt black (2007 model)”
“Had my 955i since 2004, wanted one since I was a kid so I got one! I was not disappointed. Still gives me a massive grin after all this time.... always. Haha.”
