    I just picked up a 2019 Speed Triple RS. There is a great deal of information here that I will be reading through. This is my first new street bike since my 2001 Kawasaki ZRX1200r, (now 1224). My wife has a 2017 Yamaha R3 and I sometimes use it to commute, and I have the ZRX for acting foolish, a KTM250sx for the dirt, and an '07 Honda CBR600rr I use to instruct track days and play with on the racetrack.

    I am a paramedic in Franklin TN, (just south of Nashville) and other than motorcycles am active in Retired Racing Greyhound and Galgo, (Spanish sighthound), adoption. I bought the RS hoping I could have a bike I would leave alone as the ZRX has been modded to the point that it is a bit silly. I don't know how well that will work out, however, as it seems geared a bit tall and runs a little lean with the stock MAP.

    So far I am enjoying the bike and getting used to all the electronic extras I am not used to having and, other than a tail tidy, (it really needed that), it is 100% stock right now. Thank you all for putting together this site!

    Welcome to the family. Do hit the upload a file button bottom right corner and show the inmates some of the steeds. Great intro by the way. You will fit right in here in the asylum.
    Regards
    Joe.
