Hi Guys,

I picked up my bike this past weekend. Will post more pics and a review once the run in is done.

Congratulations. Wishing you happy and fun miles with one of the best in class street fighters on the planet. I'd call it praying mantis on steroids

Thanks Lancersfx! I wish I were busy running her in right now. Unfortunately work schedule leaves only Sundays open and with a family, I get a precious small window to ride. I've been looking at her with a melancholic grin every morning before getting into my car and driving off to work. Wish I could commute on the bike, but that's not going to happen anytime soon.

Congrats imp! This is in my opinion is the best naked bike available in India. Could you please let me know how much of color difference there is in matt grey of both the models (R & RS) or are they exactly the same?

Looking forward to an ownership review. Congrats once again!

Do keep in mind that for the grey colour, the R gets the matte finish and the RS gets the glossy finish. However when it comes to the black, it is the R which gets the glossy finish and the RS which gets the matte finish. Strange are the ways of Triumph!

Im uploading some pictures of the greys and blacks so you can see how they look, the black RS was not in a very well lit area so I didnt take proper pictures of it.

The RS is closer to me.


These are pictures of the black R. Very glossy and it shows!






Just one pictures of the RS side

Thanks drive_angry as neil.jericho has so kindly mentioned the differences between the two models, I would just like to add that the RS Glossy Grey is the nicest colour Triumph have on the Striple Line up, IMHO ofcourse.

Thank you Neil, of-course I shall post a detailed review and ownership thread. Lots to get used to and experience first so I can make it as neutral and comprehensive as I am able.

Congratulations on the bike imp! And i say this with absolute and complete bias- it is one of the best in its segment and does its job well! Feel free to ping in case you need help with anything at all regarding the RS!

Cheers and ride safe!

Thank you Rohan, I've followed your ownership thread with a great deal of interest. I've been eyeing this bike for a long time now and am glad I managed to pull it off. I actually do have a couple of questions and things I'm thinking about, I'll take you up on the offer and send you a PM.
