Are there no aftermarket fairing options for the Speed Triple? If there
are, it may have seemed a bit silly to Triumph (and me) to produce a whole
extra bike to fit such a sub-sub niche market called "people who want a
naked bike with just a little bit of plastic."
They might be passing up a few $ in profits by not making their own add on
bikini fairing for the S3 like Aprilia did with their Falco kits.
