    Hi there
    My name is Gary
    I live in norfolk and have just bought myself a 2016 speed triple r in white.This is my first British bike I have always been a yamaha man right back to my distant youth on FS1E and RD250 then a break and back with yam FZ6 and then FZ1N.i always liked the speed triple so about 6 weeks ago took out a demo from Norfolk Truimph and the rest is history
    What a stunning bike I love it

    Hi Gary from another Gary :) personally I'm on my second Trumpet. It's nice to get away from the Japanese bikes that we tend to ride. Enjoy yours :)

    The only yam I had was a tr1 which took me round Europe and down to Greece for 3 months and discs 9 months dispatch riding round london, and I couldn't fault it one bit. The only bike I managed to ride down an Italian motorway without a helmet side saddle while smoking a fag!!
    There you go, now you know the type that frequent this forum!! Welcome :p
