    Hi to all.
    I have recently sold my 2011 triple , but now regret it.
    So now looking at the triple r,
    Just wanted to hear from owners to hear what they think about the bike,

    I also used to have the 2011 Speed Triple and it was a great bike.
    The R is also a great bike .... But unless you are doing some very fast road riding or serious track days then the R version isn't really required.

    I test rode a R and it was nice but my normal Speed Triple with the suspension set up felt just as good.

    Best suggestion is get a test ride and see what you think.

    Cheers

    Steve

    That seems to be the general opinion reading other forums.

    I'd get the R just for the PVM wheels and flashy Brembo's

    Not essential but can't resist a bit of bling :wink:

    Or you could get the Speed Triple and spend the extra on a set of Arrow exhaust the give the full noise
