Featured 2018 Speed Triple Rs – Ownership Thread

300 miles done and I'm loving it! Now got upto 6000 rpm to play with.

 

Newbie question.... Going to road test the speed RS was very tempted last weekend by the Black but my concern is over time I am not convinced it will look as good as the white. Any advice would be good

 

Buy the one you like

 

.....as long as it’s white

 

If you was tempted by the black but go ahead and buy the white you'll always wish you had bought the black.
But if you buy the black and the paint gets damaged you'll wish you'd bought the white.

Hope that helps.

 

Buy the Silver ... Buy the Silver .... Doh!
Doesn't come in Silver does it?

 

Thanks for the advice

 

Do you find the spray maintains the finish? is it best to treat the bike first? I've only ever had bikes with high gloss paint which I way i'm unsure which way to go. I know the white will look as perfect in 3 years but the blacks a tempting thought. The only decision I've made so far is it will be an RS not the S

 

Really made things clearer haha

 

Bought the white rs arriving next week, thanks for the advice

 

Was very tempted, as you say either would still be a good choice but I think the white also looks amazing. The test ride did its job a simple decision from then with the toys on etc I'm sure it will be fun.

 

Beautiful bike mate and love the personal touches you have added!
Just purchased my own, also in white. Cant wait!!! Dealers said i could expect it to arrive late June

I am currently looking at some tail tidy's, what do you think of Evotech Tail tidy?

 

I had the Evotech fitted and it's absolutely perfect worth every penny

 

Thank you BG! Did you have one from an earlier bike or did you puchase a new one?
There is different part.nb on their website for the 2018 and 2016/17 models.

 

I had Bill Smith triumph fit it pre delivery, I collected the bike last Saturday and done 235 miles in lovely sunshine and the bikes brilliant, the whites stunning and the tail tidy just finishes the job. Bill Smith advised me they said it was the cleanest fit. It's on the Evotech website. Quickshifter and heated grips are being fitted at the 500 mile service so a few more revs available then.
