    Hi,
    I am new to this forum. I own a Bmw S1000r. So why become a member? Well, tomorrow I will change the Bmw for a new 2020 Speed Triple RS. Can you understand my exitement?
    Though I love the Bmw, I want a change to a more modern bike with less exhaust noise, and I could not resist the Speed Triples’ looks.
    Previously I owned the 2005 Speed Triple 1050. I was a great bike, until electrical issues came up and I lost confidence. As there must have been a technical developement in the past 15 years, I am confident my new Speed will bring me everywhere I want without issues.

    regards,
    Bert

    Hi Bert,

    Welcome to the forum.

    The triple will be quite a change!

    At least you will now be able to over take all those bloody cyclists over there!

    Keep safe. Enjoy the bike. Send a picture or two with tulips, windmills, canals, clogs, or drugs with your bike.

    Greetings, Bert, and welcome to the forum. I can understand your excitement because I'm a Speed Triple RS owner, too! :) I hope you enjoy that new bike and also the forum. Please post some photos for us when you get your bike!

    When I decided to buy my Speed Triple RS it was between that bike and a BMW S1000R. I did lots of research and it was a toss up. But when I test rode them both back to back it was the Speed Triple's engine that won my heart. I think you will love it! :heart:

    Welcome Bert, the speed triple will have a lot more character than your S1000r although that's a cracking bike too

    Welcome to the family. Great intro and fantastic beastie. The inmates here in the asylum do favour black beastie's they are one of the favourites. So you will fit right in here.
    Joe.
