    Hi all, new to the forum but not new to bikes.
    Owned a couple of other Triumphs in the past, recently traded my S1000R for the new Speed Triple 1200 RS. Very happy with it so far!
    Who else has one?

    Hola t-bone.I owned the 1050 rs and now the 1200 rs and the suspension is perfect on roads in good condition but if they are not they feel hard. I just changed tires, a friend recommended the CONTIRACE ATTACK 2 STREET and I have to say that with this type of tire the problem is over. I never thought that a tire would influence the suspension setting so much. To those of you who have the 1200, try another tire with a softer casing, it does not have to be continental, although I doubt that I will mount another tire again and I have tried supercorsa, s21, TT, rs10 ..... but none that works better with the suspension. my speed 1200 is now better than the speed 1050 rs. Please I'm sorry because I'm spanish and my english is so bad. I only want to help, metzeler is a good tire but if the road is not perfect can be a problem. The sooner I can I will introduce me. Regards
