    hi newbie here from South lanarkshire sunny scotland, will hopefully be the proud owner of a 2012 speed triple in Diablo red by the weekend.
    Excited about riding the triple, all my previous bikes have been sports bikes.

    Hi there.
    Iv been blown away with my triple,can't believe how much fun they are. So much more comfortable than my previous bikes with usable power and great handling, only down side I'm becoming a bit of a hooligan and can't help with an odd wheelie because they are so easy to wheelie :)
    Lots of goodies ordered will post some pics when finished.

    Welcome Craig, looks like it came with Triumph billet mastercylinders too.
    Got same crash bungs on my 2012 R.
    You may struggle to find a low boy for that now.

    Welcome in Craig, even more fun to come when the weather gets a bit kinder and those tyres a bit warmer - then it's time to take a little bit off those chicken strips. ;):)
