675 First Ever Triumph

Looking to buy my first Triumph and would appreciate your advice on these two..

10 plate street triple R with 12k miles at £4.5k in black and only mod is a tail tidy. Only has part service history.

Or

10 plate street triple with 12k miles at £4K in scorched yellow, tail tidy and quick shift fitted. Also only a part service history.


Is the R worth the extra £500? I'm kinda heading to the R because of the colour..

 

Fully adjustable suspenders and radial brakes on the R which seems to my limited knowledge of Triumph to be good value at £500 more

 

Took a look at the R today, nice but not great. Turns out the previous owner (3rd owner) is local to me, he confirmed valves not done whilst he had it. Dealer tried to blag it when I rang back and offered £100 off.

Unlikely to get a Triumph now as I've justed put the deposit down on a Ducati Hypermotard
