    Hi folks,

    I've just recently part ex'd my 2014 Street Triple R for a new Speed Triple S. Superb usable power throughout the rev range!

    The bike itself was in the showroom but currently waiting for a few accessories to be fitted before collection......hopefully get her this weekend. However from similar experience on my Street I remember the accessorises taking AGES to come!

    SC Project cans and Evotech tail tidy ready and waiting at home...just need the bike now!!

    Sounds like you will be very happy with that little lot!

    Maybe get the oil guard from evotech as that gets a blasting being below the rad. I can also reccomend the triumph rubber tank guard.

    Nice! Can I ask why you changed from the S1000r, this was one bike I considered before going for the Triumph, looks not quite finished in my eyes, mad engine though!

    Bike collected yesterday in an unusually sunny Aberdeen morning. Got her home and fitted the evotech tail tidy and sc project cans. Did about 50 miles, trying to keep the revs down is difficult as she justs wants to go. I found the gearbox pretty clunky and the Throttle a bit snatchy. Probably just need to adjust to it. Did another 50 miles this morning and unfortunately the rear has picked up a nail!!!!! Absolutely sick. Hoping it can be repaired rather than a new tyre already. Chap at local tyre place reckons he can save it!

    In general tho i am delighted with the bike. Can't wait to get back on her next week once the tyre is sorted!

    Very nice Meldy ! That nail is just nasty, would suck if they can't fix it. I had one very similar on a blade some years back, decided to replace it rather. I didn't like the thought of a mushroom plug in my rear :eek: !

    Well aye that was my thoughts also! Didn't fancy a repaired supercorsa. Especially with the bike being so new

    I find it ridiculous that the new triple comes with supercorsa's I picked mine up in January, just a nightmare in damp wet conditions, after 1000 miles I had worn them out and gone onto M7RR's great tyre.

    over the years I have been through the top line brand tyre choices on various bikes, but the M7RR have been my favorite tyre of all time. good grip from cold, feel really stable and not bad wear rate, for what they give you in performance. The supercorsa are the only tyre that I have destroyed the front at the same speed as the rear, awesome grip in the dry throw in a damp patch it can give you a real "moment" as I found out on my fireblade.
