need info on 1995 t509 speedtriple

Hey everybody,
I am looking into buying a used 1995 speedtriple t509 855cc. I have owned and ridden all of the Japanese makers but I am unfamiliar with Triumph. I would like info from any and all who have owned one of these bikes. Are there common problems to look for? What were your impressopns of the bike and ownership experiences? Do you recommend this bike as a good long term bike for ownership, or are these bikes known to have issues? Thanks for any and all help. Jwood

I had 2 955i Speed Triples and had no problems really - one had a noisy fuel pump - fixed under warranty.

The web site is very good ....

I would point out that the T509 Speed Triple wasn't even made until two years later, but you will get a better idea at TriumphRAT.net

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
