Anyone owned or ridden a Triumph T595 ? What are they like ? Power, handling,brakes, etc ?

Not quite, but I bought this a few weeks ago

Compared to the Firestorm its a fair bit quicker, but with the same ability to pull hard from any revs. Neutral handling, turns in easily and holds my chosen line well. Brakes are fine, riding position is comfortable though the seat is a bit hard compared to the Corbin seat on my Firestorm.

Does about 45 mpg, 140 miles to the fuel warning light

It's a 955i btw, not a 595

Same as Druid,

The speed3 is one of the best bikes I have ever owned, goes/stops/handles and was comfy. I had a test ride on the Daytona but just prefered the look of the speed3

Speed triple looks awesome, if I ever change the Storm, that's what I'd get!!

What's the windblast like on the Speed Triple above 100?

I wouldn't like to ride for more than a few minutes at that speed. It's fine up to 85 or so, gets tiring after that. As most m-way traffic travels at this speed, it's no problem. Better for my licence too ;)

The roads I ride for fun don't really lend themselves to plus 100mph speeds either, at least not for any length of time.

If you want to know more you can ask at t595.net. Kind of like VTR100.org with an extra cylinder
