Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

No, I meant Peter.

I don't understand threads like this as the dealers websites, image hosting sites and other review sites all have pics of high quality from different angles and more info that most of the people on here could muster.

Might be a bit difficult to have a discussion with a picture on a hosting site, as if he asks here he can ask all the questions he wants with owners who are members of this site.
Forgive me if i'm being naive.

He is, and also asking if anyone has one too, no harm no foul. Its nice to get people talking, as his motives have given us a discussion. Laughing

Ive got an '06 speed 4.
Ive had it about 18 months now and im very happy with it. Its comfy, reliable, well built and fun to ride.
I get about 120 miles before reserve, its not too hard on tyres/chains etc etc.
For the price you can pick one up for they are a bargain - they might not be as good as a street triple, but for the money you save over one i dont give a damn. Thumbs Up

No point even looking at the street triple since there like 6grand they have a waiting list and will cost a bomb to insure.

I did the LSL conversion on my Speed Four when I had it.
Had Renthal Street Fighter bars on there.

LOVED IT!
So much more comfortable and made the bike so easy to flick into corners.

I don't think I will ever own another sportsbike and leave the clip-ons attached. The bars give you a comfy and commanding position; they also encourage you to ride like a nob Mr. Green The only downside is that it widens the bike a bit, as with the clip-ons the speed four is really narrow.

The front comes up really easy on the power now in 1st gear, though I am very light. I bought the bike in november so haven't really given the bike any stick on the corners. Slow speed it seems exactly the same but 'high speed' who knows.

I think they should have come with bars from the factory.
