    It arrived !!! 2018 Speed Triple RS !!!! bloody ecstatic at the quality of the thing and spent the entire evening in the garage polishing and going through all the difficult to get at corners with a toothbrush.

    Now safely in the garage, it is dwarfed by the K1200R in the corner. Modern bikes are soooo much smaller.

    I must add, Eric and David at Triumph Newcastle have been fantastic, delivering on time and ironing out a couple of niggles.

    Now i'm hoping for 36 hours of rain to wash away all the salt off the roads, followed by 2 days of unusually warm and sunny weather.

    @Simon Telfer
    Like @Oldskool, my bike also looks just like yours, Simon! And like Oldskool, I love my Speed Triple RS and know that you will love yours, too. Mine is a 2019 but I don't think there were really any changes between the two years. I'm looking forward to hearing how you like your new Speedy and also seeing more photos and reading a few ride reports. Welcome to the forum!!
