Featured Look What's Just Turned Up !

Can’t wait until one turns up in my dealers!

 

How you gonna afford a bacon butty at Loomies after that?

 

3X Ferndown had theirs delivered mid day when we stopped off for a break.

 

Booked your test ride yet?

Hopefully, now the demo bikes are turning up, ours won't be to far behind.......

 

TC will always be able to find a couple of quid down the back of the sofa for a bacon butty

 

Lol, no i haven't. I just can't warrant the extra dosh to change from my 16 STR

 

Mine should arrive tomorrow at the dealers...and with a little luck, I'm collecting on Saturday (fingers crossed they can get it ready)

One word of warning for anyone that's picking one up imminently...insurance is a nightmare, because although the bikes are listed, the rates haven't settled down.

My existing policy is £281 for the year and runs out in a couple of weeks. I'm being issued with a cover note for the RS so I can collect it, but they've declined to renew. I managed two quotes on The Bike Insurer comparison service...both at around £1,580. Triumph Insurance are currently at £725.

I can insure any number of super-naked bikes (S1000R, MT-10 SP, Super Duke) for around £300, so hopefully this will be sorted out soon.

 

I wonder why it doesn't have the seat cowl in the photos - unless it's supplied separately

 

Seat cowl was always an extra, bummer with the insurance.

 

Not according to the launch video or their website...

 

Indeed - they are now an option (which I’ve added) together with the carbon tank sides that used to be standard on the R.

They give...and they take.

 

I asked for two front pairs at that price - and I more or less got away with it

You also lose the higher grade Arrow link pipe in favour of the standard version with clamps at each can.

I figured the gains will outweigh the losses...so really looking to finding out.
