    Evening, thought I'd join and say hello now that I feel like i'm a legit triumph owner!

    I bought a Matt Black or Storm Grey as Triumph call it, Street RS last June and I've just traded it for a new Crystal White Speed RS that I'm due to pick up on Friday. I've been riding for the last 20 odd years, started out with Italian 2 strokes and then Japanese inline 4s, mainly Blades, 8 of them at the last count. There were a couple of Yams in there, an R6 and R1 and then an RSV Mille a few years ago.

    Really liking the smoothness of the triples and Triumph seems to have got the fuelling and throttle more or less spot on in the world of Euro 4/5 snatchiness.

    Looking forward to next Friday.

    Welcome to the family. Pictures of all the bikes would be good. And the rs when you stop playing with it.
    You will love the rs listen to that engine whistle and hiss at you and that front wheel trying to stay on the ground. Great fun.
    Regards & Ride Safe
    Joe.

    Here's the outgoing Street.

    Hoping Corona Virus won't stop play on Friday.
