Hi all

I have just picked up my new toy. 2017 RR Sport in red and white. LOVE IT! I have only been riding a couple of years but I have "the bug". Last year I traded up from a 2015 Street Triple to an S1000R.. I thought nakeds were the way forward?! A few months ago I got the chance to ride the RR and realised what I had been missing!

Already put 500 miles on her, plan to do another 100 tomorrow and first service booked in for Wednesday morning. Sooo excited!

Thanks everybody and I look forward to sharing experiences with you.

Luke

Hi Luke. Welcome to the forum. Great choice with the bike.

I was similar to you. Upgrade to a thousand from the Steet Triple.

Safe riding mate.

Hello Ben. I transferred my evotech tail tidy and HP levers from my S1000R so far. Got some clear stomp grips on order from eBay. Looking for bar end weights next to dampen the vibes. Any suggestions?

You not looking for an exhaust? I've recently ordered HP Rearsets too lots of people review them really highly.

I had a full Akropavic system with shorty can on the single R and although it sounded insane it was too much some times. I will look for an exhaust system when finances permit but not in a massive rush. I also had the HP rear sets too and loved them. Such a shame that I couldn't transfer them onto this bike. I'll keep a look out for some!

Do you have any advice on bar ends?

See GixxerChuck on here, he makes some beautifully machined little lumps that clear those vibes right up.
