Default 2000 Triumph Speedtriple 955i

Photos added
For your consideration is my 2000 Triumph Speedtriple 955i.
It is the very desirable Roulette Green. I am also the original owner
of this bike. It is 955cc's Fuel injected with 5175 miles.
432lbs, single sided swing arm,
I also added a K&N filter, Triumph off road pipe and a tune.
Stock power is 108hp@9200 rpm/ 72 ft/lbs of torque.
With the above performance mods it should be in the 120's hp &80ft/lb.
Think Jap bike HP and Harley torque.
I will pull the tire up in 3rd gear.
120/70/R17 front tire
190/50/R17 rear
31.5" seat height

It is a beautiful motorcycle that has been babied it's whole life.
It was always serviced and maintained at Hermy's in Hamburg where I bought it new.
The bike is absolutely flawless and perfect. I hate to sound cocky but you could not find one in better shape than mine.

I have never abused it or wheelied it(intentionaly).
It has a new battery, the tires are fairly new, with back one having maybe 300 miles.
Chain and sprocket are good. The Motorcycle needs nothing.
Runs perfect.
You will not be disapointed or suprised at all in any way.

Like I said I am the original owner. In late 2000 I had a deposit on a FX Dyna while waiting for it come in
I realized I wasn't ready for a cruiser yet, so I started looking at other bikes.
I thought the then new Yamaha FZ1 was it, that was until I went to the motorcycle show at
the Jacob Javits center and sat on one. I wasn't impressed with the quality or paint work at all.
I looked at everything, Buells, Ducatis, Moto Guzzi, Kawasaki ZRX, you name it.
But they all fell short in some way or another. Except the Triumph Speedtriple, it had everything.
It was powerful, handled, and beautifully ugly. But ugly like a British bull dog.
There was one problem though, it was February of 2001 and the 2001 Triumphs were only offered in
Nuclear Red(Hot Pink) Neon Blue (Smurfy) and Black.
I had to have a Roulette Green one, it just fit the bike and its attitude so well.
I called every Triunph dealer in the East and the only one that had one was Hermys.
I worked out a deal with Herm jr and rode my trade 100 miles at night up the PA turnpike in 20* weather.

Hermys is great to deal with and I would recommend them to anyone who owns or is interested in a Triumph or Bmw M/C
It wasn't and is not a starter bike, more for the moderate to experienced rider.

I have the original pipe, carbon fiber fender, and a Triumph tank bag to go with it.
It is and always was reliable and never gave me a problem ever.
Whoever purchases this motorcycle with be very pleased.

Now to the fun stuff.
I am asking $4900 or best offer, shoot me an offer the worst I will say is no.
Having said that if your looking to spend $3500 buy one of the ratty ones on ebay that need bearings and have 20k miles.
No test rides. Sorry, my insurance DOES NOT cover anyone besides myself from operating the Motorcycle.
If you buy it and don't like it I will give you your money back.

If you buy it and decide to sell it down the road I would ask that you would give me the courtesy of first try to buy it back.

I love this motorcycle and have always been passionate about it. But I can no longer ride it due to my health.
So sadly and with much regret I am forced to sell it. I would have loved to hand it down to my son
but he is only 9 and in another 9 years when he's 18 it just wouldn't be prudent to let him have it as his first bike.
Plese feel free to ask me any questions. email me at

My cousin is a mechanic at Hermy's so I had to ask. If you were selling this a year ago, I probably would have looked into it more. Now I'm house hunting

I love Triumphs though!
