    It took me over sixty years but my new to me 2022 Speed Triple 1200 RS is a real beauty. I literally had no idea these bikes were so nice and so well developed.

    Just received a Vandemon exhaust to facilitate a sound increase and cat delete weight savings. Fantastic quality al Ti unit with a shockingly heavy muffler. I'm looking forward to seeing how the install changes the bike's personality. Already have the Woolich programmer if fueling is an issue.

    Really curious about the original equipment wheel weights. Can anyone comment if they are cast aluminum or how much each weights?

    Thanks, Bill

    Just got the registration done and have a tag for her. I'm going to work on having my daughter put some miles on her while I can not.

    Going out tomorrow to mount the tag and try out TuneECU for clearing the oil service due light. The previous owner had chanced the oil three times in the whopping 300 miles he road it over two years and never took it to the dealer to have the light shut off. Thanks to the forum and community for all the info on TuneECU!!

    I'll get pics of the bike and that lovely Vandemon Ti exhaust sitting on the counter waiting for love.

    There is my new girl. The second pic is just pure sex for a nerd like me. Vandemon does phenomenal work.
