    Probably pre-registered to hit month-end or quarter-end targets, that and the new Speed due in very soon. Nice way to get a good deal on a cracking bike.

    Thanks to all for the warm reception.

    The bike I'm getting is a Speed Triple R in matt graphite grey, registered in January and I couldn't refuse at £9999.

    It's being delivered on Friday and they will take my trade in away, a Yamaha MT09 that I couldn't get on with, don't know why. I had a 2010 Street Triple before that so decided to go for the bigger one this time.

    Will post pics when it arrives.

    Cheers all, Matt

    £10k is a good deal, my 2016 'R' cost £9,500 with 4,000 miles on the clock last year and 8 months old
    Spend £37 on a Denali Split Sound bomb so you are heard, a horn worthy of the Speed Triple...and £100 on a Scottoiler :grinning:,

    Didn't get on with my MT09 either. Had it just under a year, very snatch throttle, very basic suspension, always felt unsettled, which was a shame. Bought. Thruxton R instead. Completely different animal, but at a completely different price to be fair. Enjoy :) your new ride once the snow melts & the salt has been washed away o_O
