    Hi there,
    I am Mark and i live in the Netherlands.
    I own a Trident 660 for almost a year now and yesterday i went looking
    for a Speed Triple R 2016.
    Next week i am going back to make a test ride.
    Hope to post some pictures when i buy it.
    Then i want to change the original mufflers to Arrow mufflers but have to sort out wich Arrow mufflers fit because there are a lot of different Arrows.

    I'm a little slow to the welcome wagon, @Backtobasics, but welcome to the forum! Love those photos of both your Trident and your new-to-you Speed Triple! I'm a Speed Triple owner, too. I hope you love yours as much as I love mine. Hope you enjoy both of those bikes! Keep the photos coming....... :)

    I added SC project exhaust and a quickshifter.On one of my trips a mate took some photos.Enjoy!
