New Speed Triple 1050R

[Owl]

If you're still concerned re parts, and haven't even bought the bike... go read other threads on KB (well, you probably have, but why on earth you still want one puzzles me)

I seriously considered the Tuono, but decided to stick with the Triple a little longer. Fuel range, seat comfort is sad, but the deciding factor was the lack of Aprilia warranty support.

According to the sales rep, it's all good now though!

GREAT use a Speed Triple

So AMPS were able to give me a price they look like they are going to be realisticly priced at NZD $23,000 not bad realy will make it easyer to choose the Speed Triple over the Touno.

I'll believe that when I see it! The base model is £1299 dearer than the 675R, which is $22,590 here.

In fact I'll take a punt and pick the base model at $25,500, ABS at $26,500 and launch model at $28,500.

$23,000 is the price AMPS quoted me I was in there 3 weeks earlyer and they had not been given a price but on Saturday Rob said that they had just got a price out of the importer so I am confident that that is the price

would seriously check out mv agusta brutale,over here in oz are the same price(also check out 675 brutale in the wings(a triple also)).I have just been testing bikes in the form of triumph speed triple 1050 and thruxton,ducati monster 1100evo,mv agusta 920,aprillia tuono,bmw R1200R and F800R but actually ended up buying a moto guzzi griso 1200 se 8v.I lived in N.Z till the age of 32 where i left in '99 and owned a couple of Gpz 900's and a ducati 900 superlight and ducati 600 pantah.I thought the speed triple was a little heavy feeling,though the street triple would probably be better real life,I was within a whisker of bying the mv agusta 1090rr (though the 920 in matt black looks $1m)as it was probably a better bike,BUT i am keeping this bike forever and the tie breaker was in 5yrs time would i be on the mv and see a griso and pine,answer yes,would I over the mv while on the griso probably not,though would know that person had an awesome bike,also remembered what brian barnsley(former owner of hamilton motorcycles(gone too soon r.i.p)) told me (while I owned my superlight) people returned to him regular to trade in their 4's while twins people held on to longer,triples (are they somewhere in between? lol)

I might just buy this instead of the Triumph or the Aprillia.

Apples and oranges much? It's not even a sit up straight naked.

Anyone who buys a bike off them is mental - they are the highest priced Triumph dealership in the country and their customer service is non-existent

does it come with ABS?

I'd like a Street Triple R with ABS and Ohlins forks. Ive got the Ohlins shock covered.

BST or Marchesini wheels and monoblocks might be nice. And proper round headlights.

Watch the Marchesini rims... I had them on my KTM... dinged the front one twice... no idea how I managed it

BST's then. Only what, $5k or so? :waaaaaah:

The SPEED Triple R will have switchable ABS - very handy that!

Sat on the Tuono V4 again this week. It is probably too track focused a seating position for road use, whereas the 2011 Speed III is spot on for sporty while still capable of long stinks in the saddle.
