Hi. Can comment too much on values other than sheer disappointment on the Russian values of my RR. I've never ever lost so much on a bike (potentially as not sold it)
Thought I'd mention - Tpms is a complete waste as only works on Triumph standard tyre pressures of 36/43 which I don't think anyone ever runs and can't be altered - got mine switched off my the dealer as completely frustrating with all the error warnings.
The RR is a brilliant bike though. I like the riding position , way better than RS for long distance too. Electronic suspension is utterly awesome dealing with comfort and sport riding. I am flummoxed as to why it hasn't been a really popular bike ?

 

Oh that's good to know about the tpms that's an easy skip then.



I genuinely think it was the early reviews and mixed press that killed it and it never recovered despite smaller reviewers praising it.

Neeves' MCN review REALLY did damage it's highly negative for 90% of the review but he addresses all of his criticisms towards the end but think vast majority just hit the cliffnotes and ignore the full critique.



What it seemed to boil down too was reviews being way too critical and not understanding every person can't afford or doesn't have the space for multiple bikes. Every major press review always came down to "Well it's too aggressive to compete with the more comfortable hypernakeds on the market but not committed enough to match the fully fledged liter sportbikes. So just buy the fully dedicated bike instead."



But then you go look at smaller YouTubers and they generally heaped loads of praise and simply advised try sitting on it first because it's more aggressive than you might expect.



I genuinely don't find it that bad and felt the hyperfocused criticism on the ergonomics really unfair. I find the bar lean to be right in-between the baby Panigales and the S1KRR and the reviews saying "Well you'd never want to ride this for more than an hour or two" confusing that's why there's cruise control!?



Think people are just salty the RS didn't get electronic Ohlins.



It's been a while since I've sat on a Tuono Factory but those are pretty hyper aggressive from my recollection but look how many bike of the year awards it's won over the past decade.



MotoBob's review/interview video he did on it really shows the average riders' inputs and nearly everyone he spoke with said once they found their proper suspension set up the bike was brilliant even the inexperienced riders.

Sorry you lost a lot but at least you have the benefit of having an uncommon and eye catching bike now!

 

Have you ridden the Speed RR yet?
It's really something special!
It's smoother than the RS version with the electronic Ohllins fitted.
But, it's definitely a difficult pick btw a Tuono & a Speed - both are very "hyper".

 

Sadly the one day I was offered a ride the ride "coordinator"? called out at the dealership and bailed on me.

Also weird I stopped getting notifications after Pete's initial reply

 

Yes I agree the reviews didn't do it any favours. Anyone who wants a sports bike just for the road should buy an RR. For sports bikes they are super comfortable. i've ridden mine from the UK to the south of Spain twice. Its awesome in the twisties - so much more so that say a GS. OK you can't get much luggage on it but plenty provided your not camping!
On the track - I traded in a 1299 panigale for it that I'd done 60+ track days on. I was worried I'd miss the pani on the track. I'm not a racer, but comfortably in the fast group at track days and guess what .. I didn't miss the panigale bag of clattery ****..... the RR was brilliant. So much easier to ride than the Panigale.
90% of the reviewers can't ride on a track for toffee, ok the RR isn't going to beat a Pani or S1000rr in the hands of a racer .. but they've got skills way above my head .. so all this its not as good as ... rubbish ... for anything other than racers or top 10% of fast track day riders the RR will be way above their skill level, and certainly massively easier to ride than the Panigale.

The previous owner of my Street actually had a custom adapter machined that allows a Givi top case and side panniers so bet someone dedicated could do similar.

 

Bike acquired! The dealership with the 23 ghosted me but got a 22 Hopper Red for $14250 out the door!


Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced rear stand? Heard the Speed 1200 has a bit of an odd size.

I can't suggest a specific stand as you are in the USA and wouldn't be worthwhile importing from Europe. Stand size is pretty common though - same as all the modern Ducatis - from the last 12 years at least - i used the one from my 1299 Panigale

 

congratulations! I still owe $16k on the one i bought 5/22. I don't think i will ever buy a current year new bike again since used and old stock new are such a better deal. It was fun to have the latest greatest so to speak and i needed a bike because my D675 had the typical center rod bearing issue 3 weeks prior to an annual 3 day ride with a group of Ten guys, but wow that was a huge $ hit!

The only things i didn't like about the RR were the seemingly tall gearing (taller than RS) which required some clutch work in traffic, too much vibration in bars at cruise speeds, and too short of chain guard as it was flinging lube onto the tail body work. All of which i have modified to suit my needs. It is a brilliant bike that was the perfect nitch for me because my criteria list was electronic suspension, clip-ons, some wind protection, cruise cont., sport bike braking and handling. The only thing I'm not happy with is that I paid too much.

Yeah I've only ever bought used so this is my first "new bike" so while excited still have a little pit in my stomach going "oof I really just dropped $14K+".


That's really too bad about the Daytona. The market is seriously drying up on them. 😞

 

can't wait to get the Daytona running again. Almost done with the Sprit 1050 project, then i can focus on the Daytona engine.

 

I picked up a 2022 on Thursday, congratulations to both of us! Looked at it when it just came out and loved it, but at MSRP it was not going to happen. What it's currently going at is much more reasonable and I'd say THE best deal on any modern bike available.

 

Absolutely agree at least in the USA, the Euro's got those ludicrous 1290 EVO deals last year.

 

Don't fret the $14K. I paid $14K for a s1000rr and rode 6 yrs before criminals ruined it. Replacing it would have cost twice the money. Glad I got it when I did.

If the Triumph 1200RR had been available in 2021 for 14K I'd have one today for the electronic suspension.

 

Dang you getting yours for 14k has me feeling bad I just signed the papers for 18.5 after tax, but the bike does have 4miles on it so maybe it was worth it

 

I’ve just bought a 2024 in Chrystal white for £10900 with 400 miles on it. Can’t wait to try it out
