Featured 2018 Speed Triple Rs – Ownership Thread

Not by UPS !

 

Yes separated at birth...

 

I have changed to SC Project S1 slip on (pretty similar to the AR version), and I honestly can't detect any loss of low end torque as Mr. T describes with his AR. This was of great concern for me as well. Maybe my butt-dyno isn't sufficiently sensitive... The weight different however is definitely noticeable, not to mention the new cool look
I have only tried with the baffle in. It is already bit to loud, so baffle out is out of the question anyway.

 

So this one should be even better ! ??

 

I cant see them updating to the new graphics, would put people right off !!

 

Yes, if you ignore weight saving, aesthetics and individuality ....

 

I ordered this last week as the S1 is a bit to loud for my taste. A reduction from 103dB to 99dB is just what I need, but I must admit that the Moto2 sound the bike now makes is quite brutal (in a good way) and gives the bike a much racier feel.
I love how the carbon can supplements the colours of the bike as well. I will of course write a few word in this thread on my experience when the new can is tested.

 

Thank you Mr.T I must say your bike look even more fantastic. I love the white colour! I bought mine used for a bargain price of 17 000 pound (yeah, Norway is expensive) , and white was not an available option at the time.

It could be that the extra pipe length makes a difference.

 

Nice one. Can you get a before and after dyno test? Just to check it's running correctly .

 

Just came across this today after, for the second time since owning this bike, being told that it's too quiet by non bike people! I had a feeling the AR and the previous SC Project options would be too loud because they were lil stubby bois and I'm not a fan of thr conical titanium one. This can, this checks all the boxes. I'm gonna let it marinate a bit but I'll likely have an order in first thi Monday.

Genuine concern I have is there are no triumph tuning shops around me and I wanna cut the cat out too but know it's gonna need a tune.

 

Keep us posted ! Will be interesting to see how you get on ! BTW how long have you had your bike ? As the standard cans do get a bit louder after break in etc..

 

I've had mine for about 3-4 weeks (900 miles) now. When riding alone I feel like the bike sounds great but when riding with other bikes I realize just how quiet the bike is.

Additionally, I go for a ride on my R1 with its catless straight through undertail exhaust that sounds like wwii reincarnated and it further convinces me that a pipe and cat delete needs to happen. Really wish we could easily remove the oem baffles.

 

Funnily enough I took one of those out when my RS was serviced on Thursday (service cost about the same as yours).
Great bike, tall but not top heavy.
Overall I think I preferred the Speed Twin I took out last week out of the two though.

 

. Mine was 342. Yes 342. ! New pads on front and cleaning the caliper was extra apparently . Had a couple of hours on a Speed Twin which was quite enjoyable. Though the suspension wasn't up to fast bumpy corners and the pegs touched down a couple of times so not for me .. though an RS version may be better if they do one ! Not cheap is running Triumphs ..

 

6500 miles! My old Speed Triple did 17000 on original pads.. but the RS handles better so my explain a little . My fireblade track bike has SBS pads which are incredible but only last about 400 miles track riding .. the brembos are really good so I guess it's paying for quality . Still Fcking expensive for a 1st annual service !

 

Good point so you could have done a few thousand miles for. Free
