    A hello from the Netherlands.
    I am driving (and enjoying!!) a 2013 Speed Triple R.

    In the meantime it has collected quite some mods:
    - Triumph belly pan
    - Triumph fly screen
    - Triumph seat cowl
    - Triumph aluminium brake fluid reservoirs (front + rear)
    - Triumph bar end mirrors
    - Triumph LED turn signals front + rear
    - Triumph Clutch cable guide red
    - Triumph rear wheel spacer red
    - Triumph white rear light (replacing the 2013-standard red one)
    - Rizoma tail tidy
    - SC projects carbon low exhaust

    planned:
    - Triumph radiator covers in red (as standard on the R models as of 2014)
    - Ilmberger carbon fueltank covers

    Does that mean "why didn't you buy a blue one?"

    Almost!

    But for an R, white or black are the better colours. Sorry...
    (understand you are a blue addict, right? Is a nice colour for sure!)

    Black is cool - don't worry about the blue thing - it's an ongoing joke on here!

    HiArjan and welcome, black definitely the best colour for a speedy also the fastest. I had 2CTs on my first speed triple and thought the suited the bike well, only problem was the front feathered the edges quite bad. Remember (life's to short to grow up);)
