enquiring minds and all that.

a Daytona 675 is $18k

a "base" street trupple is $15k.

logic suggests it should be round $16500, but since when did that have anything to do with it?

What are the UK prices?

According to MCN it's GBP6,220 = approx. $16800 but comparing country vs country prices doesn't always translate well. If you know what I mean.
Personally if they try and sell it above $16,500 I'd say go for the Daytona or a full on thou naked.

I've got a mate who is desperate keen on one.

For my money I think I would get the base model one, then spend the money on suspension and maybe one of those Akrapovic or Arrow low exit zorsts.

But it isnt my money. I have volunteered to do "second opinion" test riding though. :)

Got word today the Street Triple R will retail at $16,500.

for the extra $1.5k over the Street Triple you get:
1. Dash from Daytona 675 (maybe the standard has the same dash? - not sure)
2. Tapered section Magura aluminium handlebar (is this the same as the Speed Triple?) - rather than a chrome one
3. Fully adjustable rear shock
4. As per Daytona 675 - 4 piston Nissin calliper front brakes (instead of 2)
5. Fully adjustable front end

Engine still he same as Street Triple.

I think I am in love :love: , time to top up that mortgage! :spanking:

Dave.

Motorad in Wellington is getting 2 Triple R bikes in December '08. One in the orange (yum - I mean that) and one in the grey. One of them will be a demonstrator they say.

Might have to sell off a few other toys to buy a new one.

I also see Triumph is holding a track day at Taupo in Jan and will be bringing a Triple R to the track. Details here:

Snippet from above article:
"Triumph New Zealand will have several demonstrator models on hand for Tri Day participants to sample, including the all new three cylinder 675cc Street Triple R, a Daytona 675 and some modern classics."

I might just go up for that.

Cheers.

It does it have a price ticket on it? Perhaps more relevant is what it would cost to have Mr Taylor do his magic thing to a standard one. Robert???

Its a shit of a job eh Dave, but you suffer it anyway to ensure we get the goods on the new rides! :niceone:

Did you note the tinged with green aspect that says KR has the bike and *I* don't.

I believe my next gig is the C50T which won't be at all onerous, but I suspect somewhat less exhilarating. :-)

I won't be having any R envy next week Tuesday...

Ohlins shock going in the rear and up front: Ohlins forks, reworked compression, rebound, oil, revalve, reshim...

Yeeharrrr - My Striple will own any R and best of all it's Jet bleck.

I had a loooksie at it today. I like that matte grey and the two tone seat is a very nice touch.

After following a base Street around Taupo last weekend and seeing how well it went I can't wait to sample one on the Triday.

Motorad are confident that there will be a 675 road Tiger and a 675 dirt Tiger released in 2010. Might be more what I'm looking for in my next bike.

If the base model is still $14,990 - then what would it cost for DIY ohlins suspension? I recall Gubb saying $1,699...
