Re: Street triple or street triple R?
 

I don't understand?

Re: Street triple or street triple R?
 

Oh sorry i read it as having 12k not 15k. Still get the r. The extras can allways be added later.

Re: Street triple or street triple R?
 

Would you say the 15k would be a problem, i mean are they reliable enough?

Re: Street triple or street triple R?
 

no idea at all

Re: Street triple or street triple R?
 

Get the R, just the adjustable suspension and better brakes make it worth it, the Leo vince exhausts will probably sound gorgeous too.

See if you can test ride both versions?

Re: Street triple or street triple R?
 

Yes get the R just for the increase in resale value when you sell it.

Re: Street triple or street triple R?
 

Either will be great.
I would have personally swayed towards the standard one with all the gear if it wasn't black. They look a bit boring in black. Therefore I'd go for the R.

Re: Street triple or street triple R?
 

Test ride both! I found the R far too hard for everyday riding and a lttle harsh on my wrists so bought the standard street. Even though the R has adjustable sussies its still budget and most people replace it with aftermarket shizzle anyway. At 15k if the bikes been looked after its still good for a few k more.

Whichever you decide on they are bloody good bikes. Really easy to wheelie too. :p
