    Hi everyone! Just picked up a practically new 2014 Street Triple R ABS with 6900 miles on it. I've owned and ridden tons of different bikes over the last 28, and this is hands down the performing bike I've ever ridden. Performed exceptionally well carving the Rocky Mountain canyons over the weekend. I will be doing my first track day on Monday. I'm excited to start customizing it and making it my own. I have a Two Brothers S1R slip on order that I'll get next week. Anything in particular I should know about this bike? It's seems to be one of the best bikes Triumph ever created.

    Tell me about it! The only time I even see a car in them is when I'm at a stoplight sitting upright. Otherwise I don't see anything but asphalt and trees.
