    Just thought I'd drop a quick note to say g'day as a new forum member, having just purchased myself a new 2016 Speed Triple 'R' ... coming back to Triumph having had a few other bikes since my Street Triple 'R'. Hope to tap into the experience of all ... Cheers!

    Cheers ... and yes, that'd be the Island. Seems you've had a run around the same awesome piece of tarmac ... :)

    Ok lads (and gals) ... just had the accessories fitted, and loving how much lighter the bike feels after fitting the Arrow Low-Boy (oh, and the sound is awesome!!). Also had the following fitted: Comfort Seat, Rubber Tank Pad, Heated Grips, Quickshifter, Frame Sliders, Radiator Guard, Anodised Brake Reservoir (Front and Rear) ...

    Its such an awesome machine ... can't stop grinning!

    Looks class! Did you remove the pillion footpegs too? Opens the back right out with that new pipe!
