Fair enough, I've only ridden the R so can't comment on the, what would you call it; non R?

I actually prefer the matt paint, just wonder how that would last. But the raidals and the adjustable suspension, you don't need to have it but its good for bragging rights down the pub...

Either way thats a mighty fine bike you've got yourself.

Its a Striple!

Yeah the matt finish is nice now but reading up and seeing the demo bike it doesn't stay nice.

The brakes did "feel" more modular but the power was too much for me.

The Speed triple's brembo brakes are fooking stupidily powerful, if not too powerful.
