Agreed. My brother has an 05 999S that he paid $25k for and I've seen them for $8500

Me too. The 999 is my all time favorite Duc.

Crap...my friend has been looking at bikes for a while now and finally pulled the trigger two weekends ago.

He bought an 05 Triumph Speed Triple in Scorched Yellow. It has several mods and looks awesome...for a Speed Triple.

8-9k miles for $5k...not a bad deal at all BUT I'm sure he would have been very interested in this Duc for the new price.

Oh well...somebody will be getting a nice bike for a good price.

Scorched Yellow is so nice on the Triumphs!

My first 675 was SY. Definitely not a color you see everyday.

No you don't see that color very often...it looked more golden when I actually saw it in person.

I wish I had a picture to post...it is the best looking Triple that I've seen...much better than stock.

I hope to ride my friend's this weekend. We're switching bikes to let the other one compare the the two exhaust systems.

My R1 has race baffles and the cats gutted. His Triple has Mivv exhaust.

Riding. Oh, how I wish I could do that. It is unbelievably cold in central PA today....super windy too. Salt all over the damn road. And more snow coming on New Years Day.
