    Hey all,

    Trying to figure out which way to go, I know a million people have asked buttttt there is a wicked deal on the Street Triple R at the moment..

    Street Triple R or Street Triple RS in 2025

    R = $16 - 5k cheaper
    1. I want an Exhaust/Tune.
    2. Belly pan.
    3. Passenger seat cover.
    4. will still have left over cash for a few aftermarket extras - brake levers, mirrors etc.

    RS = $21 - 5k more expensive.
    1. Looks nice stock (mirrors, belly pan, seat, seat cover)
    2. Better riding position (Can probably be fixed wit adjustments and a new seat?)
    3. More power (irrelevant after tune)
    4. TFT = not amazing anyway.

    Any advice would be welcome.

    Dave.

    I had same kinda dilemma,I wanted the white bike so was only given one option,so ordered the R.Whilst waiting for delivery i started to look at the specs of the Rs.So I ended up changing the order and settling on the metallic silver.plus I hate the dash on the R.Ends up dealer let me down badly,cancelled the Street triple and after that bought a 900 gt pro :).
    But if i was in your position again I'd go with the RS everytime.

    lol, thanks, so straight up RS?

    So the reason for the indecision is because there is a $5k Aud saving for the R at the moment, I would want an exhaust and tune.

    Realistically that makes the RS $24k with exhaust and tune.

    The R would be less than $20k with exhaust and tune... an additional $1k at triumph makes it look the same as the RS...

    Why RS as a straight choice??

    @DaveR2403 Welcome to the family. There is not a vast difference between the two performance not that you will notice anyway. Sometimes you can haggle a deal with a aftermarket can added if it is a deal breaker.

    There is "only" a $2k difference between the R and RS. + $5k is R vs Moto2. I went with the '24 RS as I felt the tune, suspension and brakes are a worthy upgrade. Plus I love the Cosmic Yellow!

    Hi there!
    Welcome to the forum!;)
    If you can afford easily the +5k go for the RS. If not, take the R and individualise it completely in your aim and "needs". I think you will save some money for future nice trips with it.:):p

    Ive had this sort of choice twice. I got a 675 rather than a 675r because i felt that my riding capabilities / style didnt require a more expensive suspension. Especially as I have no desire to do track days. The same sort of thoughts came through when i was buying a Honda. Do you need the "extras" that come as standard on the Rs or are you better off putting it towards your own Farkles

    Na, buy the rs.worth it for the brakes, mirrors,tft etc, you will regret it later.Also it's worth more at resale.

    Its always personal choice. I've got a 2024 RS and I had a 2017 RS which my son now owns, but my Aprilia Tuono V4 is the RR version not the Factory spec. I like the RS but I've said on another thread, the TFT is unnecessarily complex IMHO. The suspension is good though and the brakes. :)

    Hey mate, thanks for the reply.
    So there is a deal on in Australia right now, just under $16k for the R and just over $21K for the RS,
    with the 5K, i could get full system and tune, Belly Pan, seat cowl, and i can get some much nicer mirrors, and tail tidy. Ill still have change from the 5k.
