Speed Four A sporty, middleweight motorcycle has to perform in many environments - from racetrack to city street and winding back road, perhaps in one day. And the Speed Four has been built not just to perform.

I have a riding bud who currently has an '08 S3 who had a Speed Four five or six years ago, and he would wring that things neck keeping pace with us on the S3's. He is a good rider, and made that thing work. A cool bike, but lacking in the low/mid range.

I'd have to flail my Daytona to keep up with the Speedie on a really tight road. The 675 just doesn't have the torque my Speedie lays down, at 4000-9000 on the speedie I'd have to run +9k on the Daytona.

I can't wait to get going rebuilding the old Triple.
