    Hey all, just joined the forum as I’m in the process of buying a 2020 Speed Triple RS. I’m picking it up on Wednesday and am a little excited!
    Just sold my S1000XR and prior to that I had a Street Triple 765 RS. Also have a Daytona 675 track bike.
    No doubt will be chatting soon and looking through some of the forum chats. First thing I need to look at are luggage options and at the moment looking towards an SW Motech rack. Any suggestions welcomed…

    Hi Nigel and welcome
    Just noticed you are from Whitley Bay. Stayed there while working in Swan Hunter's yard years ago. What an experience:scream:

    Another 1050RS owner here. I am sure you will love the bike as I do. I am originally from the North East (Gateshead) so know Whitley Bay well and spent a lot of time there when I was a lad.

    Hi, Nigel. You are aware that the 1050 RS is the bike that mom warned you about? ;)

    Welcome! This is a good place and we are good company most of the time. :p

    I have a 2020 RS in the white colorway. I’ve had it for just over a year, ridden it about 6500 miles, done one track day, and taken it for a week long trip around the American west (ref. “Motorcycles, Mountains, Mayhem and Maniacs” write up in the “Rideouts” section of the forum).

    It’s a fantastic motorbike and you will not be disappointed. The bike comes so well equipped there’s not much to do. Heated grips, crash bungs, couple carbon bits maybe…. It’s brilliant.
