Bonjour!

hey guys!
Just passed my MOD2 today so thought I would come on as a prospective Street triple buyer and say hello!

Slight dilemma at the moment whether to go for standard triple 2010 with arrow cans or triple R 2012 without and slightly newer!?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

 

Welcome to the forum Callum
I am sure someone will be along very shortly with questions and answers for you.
Bonneville owner myself so can't help you on this one.
Ride safely whichever you decide on.

 

Cheers Mick!

your so right DD, I don't think Santa can top it...well maybe if she put a new Striple R under the tree!

 

A warm welcome Callum, when you get your bike don`t forget the pics cos we do like our pics. Ride safe.

 

Hi n welcome, congrats on your MOD2. It's a no brainer for me as i would get the R

 

Thanks Darkman.

Yeah, I've been thinking that too but the sound of the arrow cans are beastly and would cost what, £600+ to add to the R?
Or are they really not that much better/worth it?

 

welcome to the forum callum. thats a good dilemma to have lol

 

In the real world the cans do so little other than looks that the better brakes of the R alone would be my reason, second hand cans (far cheaper) can be added at a later date if you you should wish to do so .

 

Thanks for the info darkman.
I shall have a bowl of special K and contemplate said dilemma!

 

Loud cans turn a boys bike into a Man's bike !!!!

 

I had a 2013 STR and my wife had a std 2013 ST.
The std one wasn't bad, but the suspension on the R was noticeably so much better !


Reminds me, if anyone wants a factory manual for the 2013 Street, I've got one for sale

 

Thanks for the info guys!

Going to go for an R with low mileage and add the cans on at a later date.
Shall post pics up when purchased!
Have a grand weekend

 

Hi there - glad to see Christmas is sorted

 

You have chosen wisely Plenty of good cans around at good prices if you take your time

 

i had an std once

 

Welcome Callum, now stop wasting time round here, go buy that bike ,,, then lots of pics please.

 

Thanks Rich!

I am choking at the bit to purchase however under orders to wait until mortgage is complete before taking the plunge. 2-3 weeks of suffering await!

Gotta keep Miss Santa happy apparently...

 

Welcome buddy.

Obviously mortgage takes precedence. Don't torture yourself buddy. Use the 2 weeks to research about the bike and keep looking as this would give you an insight on current going rate and negotiations you can push for ;-)

 

Sadly in an any partnership of equals SWMBO always gets the casting vote ,,, well unless you can find a sure fired way to keep her in the dark (but experience proves that never works).

 

Miss Santa most important, mind you perhaps she'll make it appear under the Christmas Tree, you never know
