Evening all Proud new owner of a 2012 Speed Triple R and couldn't be happier. This is the first bike I've had where I literally have to do nothing to it to make it feel special - it just has it all. And the sound it makes is just incredible The only thing I would like is some heated grips as I would use the bike during winter. I like the look of the triumph ones as the button is small and inconspicuous but I cannot seem to find a model number for the 2012 version. Failing this I'll have a look at the Oxford Hot Grips. Does anyone have experience fitting these? Coming from sports bikes I've had loads more space to hide cables and wouldn't really want them sticking out of the Speedy. As soon as I work out how to post a pic I Will Thanks
Welcome to the Asylum you should fit right in. To keep the inmates happy we will need photos .but please put some clothes on as it will shrivel up in winter Tucker
Hi NakedBiker .... you don't ride neked right? Anyway welcome to the forum, to post a picture just click on the upload a file tab under what you are writing, choose you photo and click upload, simples!
Haha. No. Fully covered in leather. But I do now ride a naked ( last bike was a 954 FireBlade ) I'll upload a pic now
Welcome aboard mate. In your place I'd spend a little more and buy a pair of heated gloves, or heated inner gloves, especially where you don't have hand guards to deflect the wind from the back of your hands and knuckles. I have heated inners powered by a battery. I've also got Oxford grips on a Sprint, and Triumph ones on my Tiger. The Oxford ones are dead easy to fit, and have more heat settings than the Triumph ones. The Triumph ones are a neater fit on the other hand (no pun intended, honestly).
Though the observant will notice that the rider is conspicuously absent from the shot, so we only have his word for it that he prefers leather to buff.
Cheers If you CSI enhance on the engine casing reflection you'll see me CSI Enhance! Zoom in on that reflection!
