    Hello all. been on litre sports bikes my whole life from zx10s to R1s to RSVs.
    Then stepped away for a few years. (Had a bad off).
    Now for my 50th. Bought a Street Triple 765 R LRH. So far love it, not rode much over winter. Had a blast on Sunday.
    Hope to contribute to the forum and enjoy the craic.

    Welcome to the forum. It may not be quite as fast but you can have at least as much fun on a Street Triple as a litre sports bike. :)

    Here's my baby. Thinking of changing the exhaust for a GR Moto slip on. What are your thoughts?

    @L0rdelpuz

    Welcome, nice ride :cool:

    I have a new GR Moto exhaust on my 1998 T595 Daytona. Nice quality, good price, sounds lovely and a visual transformation compared with the much larger standard exhaust. Can’t say that I have noticed any changes in performance though.

    Oh, it passed the MOT too.

    Thank you, TBH I just want it for a slightly deeper sound. The standard one is very, well standard :)
