    I did try to NOT buy another Street honest. After 2 R's and a RX it was time for a change. I resisted the shiny new bling in the showroom when they first came out and told myself it was time for a change. I didn't wander too far as I bought a new Thruxton 1200R complete with Track Racer Kit. Well after a year of loving it, polishing and riding it I gave in. Still, I did test ride the new Street Scrambler first. The outcome was obvious to everyone. I know some on here prefer Black but I love the white. 100miles done last night after work.

    Looks good, I picked up my street triple R two weeks ago in silver. Where did you get the end bar mirrors from? I was going to get the dealer to put triumph ones on until he told me they were £80 each!

    @Oz228 Thanks. The mirrors are standard fit on the RS.

    Cheers, I think I'm just going to pay for the triumph dealer ones. Have fun on your RS, looks good in white I don't know why everyone seems to prefer black.

    I also have the same but with rear foot peg removal, evo tech blanking plates & tail tidy. Nearly ready for its first service.
    Great bikes.

    Beautiful Street Triple RS, Pocket Rocket! Did you trade your Thruxton R or do you have both bikes? I traded my 2016 silver Thruxton R for a 2019 Speed Triple RS last November and I love it. Here's a photo of my new baby--in WHITE!! :) Nice to know there are a few other women on this forum. It's a terrific forum with a lot of helpful, interesting, and funny guys. But sometimes the testosterone level gets a bit high. ;)

    :rolleyes: Trying to think of something witty to say about the phallic behind your bike :confused:
    But I shall refrain :p

    Yep, there are many of those "symbols" here in the American Southwest! You demonstrated great restraint in refraining from a witty (or otherwise) comment about that stout saguaro cactus standing proudly behind my Speed Triple. Thank you. :D

    By God there was a cacti, I did not notice this prickly plant referring to the thorns, as I was looking at the bike.

    Mine doesn’t.

    My wife long ago decided I don’t need my nadgers.

    Or an opinion, as hers will do just fine...

    "Sandi T" I traded my white 2018 Thruxton R in. It was a stunning looking bike but I never really jelled with it. Could have been the weight or twin rear shocks, who knows? It sounded great as I fitted an X-pipe with the V&H pipes.
