Street Triple "R"

[kludge]

One of the first things that has to go on the striple is that rear sprocket. It looks like the cheapest, nastiest 2 dollar part from China and IMHO it really drags the whole value of the bike down. 'R' version would have to something like a nice AFAM alloy item on there.

There's already a thread for the rear-sprocket haters, which I personally don't give a stuff what it looks like, as long as it works well.
An R model should be for top-notch performance parts, only.
Leave the bling for those that care about such unecessary additions.

I agree with Old Scratcher. Who cares about "bling" as long as it works. The Triumph Street Triple was meant to be an "enty level" (not beginner) bike. This being said it is great. Strong motor, decent brakes...any thing else is easily modified. It is a great starting point to create your own "personalized" machine. Having an "R" version defeats the purpose. If you want a "race bike", buy one. The Street Triple was not designed for that. An "R" version would only raise the price thus making it not the best "bang for buck" machine it was intended to be.

If and when I choose to modify components I prefer to pick the items I want rather than depend on factory installed performance goodies. While I might change out the suspension front and rear the brakes may be to my liking. I like the idea of reasonably priced solid platform on which the owner can build what they want. Used to be a time when that was the rule rather than an exception.

I know what you're saying, but a bike that's decked out with (say) radial Brembos, fully adj. suspension etc. etc. will look very 'off' with that cheap nasty sprocket on the back. The rest of the striple as it comes now is so much tidier and well finished that the sprocket stands out like a sore thumb. For the R version they should at least put a steel sprocket made to the same standard as those on the bigger triples.
Just my $0.02

"R" model would be great.

I really wanted a Street Triple, but in the end I upgraded from Z750 to SuperDuke. What I'd like to see on the Street R are just 2 things:
1. Better suspension
2. Better brakes

Also, for Triumph to consider: steering damper is included on Tuono - both "Factory" and "plain" version. ABS should be nice too.

I'd hate to see the basic Streety altered (as I'd like to decide on what to alter myself). Keeps the cost down for the low $ folk such as myself. However it would be nice to see Triumph KEEP the base level Streety and offer optional upgrades/packages for those lucky enough to have the $ for them.

I'm just not convinced the striple needs a steering damper - it's certainly alive on bumpy roads but never feels as though it's going to slap. And the roads around me are SERIOUSLY bumpy.

Sounds like a tease to me
