Street Triple R price set yet?

[HenryDorsetCase]

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 , time to top up that mortgage!

Nice, got a release date for these???

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.

Thanks for the heads up. $80 Taupo track day. I'm in for that! Emailed my attendance in case numbers are limited.

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!

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. :-)

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.
