    Hi everyone, ordered my Speed Triple 1200RS today and should be with me early in the new year. Waiting for the flyscreen and tail tidy to arrive at the dealership before they deliver it. If I’m honest I really wanted the Ducati Streetfighter V4S, but after test riding the 1200RS I was overwhelmed by how good it was and think it is better value for money.

    Bikes like SFV4S and M1000R+Sport, imho you either just have crazy deep pockets and just want one 'cuz you can, or you really really see something in one that you are willing to work extra hard for (perfectly fine!). It's not like the Speed Triple is cheap, but gosh those other bikes are next level pricing.

    Definitely not rich. Joined the forces when I left school and settled in Cheshire.

    I hope so. Like I say, I was very impressed with the bike when I took one out for a test ride. Hoping I don’t have any gremlins like many others seem to have encountered.

    I’m the other end. Born in Carlisle, went to school in Wigton. I’m up in Cumbria in June for a few days in June to explore the North York’s Moors.

    Like you wouldn’t believe. Getting very excited now and hoping we have an early spring so I can get out on it.
