    Greetings,

    I'm excited to say that I will be collecting a black 2019 Speed Triple RS on Thursday. Having taken a break from bikes (the toys had to go) to do the grown up adult stuff like buying a house, getting married, kids etc I'm now returning back to one of my passions.

    After a few test rides on different bikes to confirm what I wanted to get back onto, I narrowed the selection down and excited to get some miles under my belt on the bike again.

    Looking forward to riding again and learning from the wealth of information available from the forums.

    Welcome to the forum. Let us know what you think of the RS when you've got a few miles under your belt.

    Welcome to the family. Yes a good choice of bike. Don't know how long you have been of the steeds. But i do say nurse it in they are rapid machines and have a mind of their own. Please don't think I am trying to teach you to suck eggs but more concerned about you. But that triple ripple will put a smile on your face all day long. Enjoy the steed. And when you get through playing and grinning do hit the upload a file button bottom right corner and show of the steed to the inmates here in the asylum.
    Joe.

    Welcome aboard, TSPEED!

    I just picked up a Speed Triple RS myself last month. It’s a ridiculous machine—in such a good way.

    Great choice to renew your passion for motorcycles. It has character, a terrific suite of electronics, high spec components, and it’s not cheap but good value if that makes sense. And you are not gonna get bored. :grinning:

    30E50707-11C6-4B0F-86B4-B6F0F9F95E07.jpeg Thanks for the warm welcome. The bike was delivered today and managed a quick ride out albeit a very cold one.

    Have ordered a few treats already such as a tail tidy and radiator guards.

    Oooooh. The black does look nice.

    I’m pretty sure that’s the bike our mothers warned us about ;)

    Welcome to the forum, @TSPEEDRS, and congrats on that beautiful new bike! Thanks for sharing the photo of your new "baby". I also have a Speed Triple RS (2019) and love it. I'm sure you will, too. Keep us posted on your thought on the bike and your adventures as well! :)

    Cheat Sheet attached that you may find useful. I keep one on the garage wall and one on my phone - saves hours of frustration searching the owners manual. Good for your model I think (sheet is for my 2019 Speed Triple RS)
