    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…

    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.
