Took my Daytona in for a service and they gave me a 2014 Street Trip as a courtesy bike for 24hrs.

Very nice bike.

More encouraging of hooligan-like behaviour than the Daytona in some ways.

Great machine...engine and chassis work so well together...cannot think of a negative.

I test road the R model for a whole day and really enjoyed it couldn't fault the bike atall other than the fact id like it to be £10,000 cheaper.....

I have the Street R have had it 14 months and put 9k miles on it, while there are faster bikes out there it's the best bike I have ever owned and there is nothing currently on the market that tempts me to change it.

As said they turn you into a bit of a hooligan but at nearly sensible speeds, I tracked it , toured on it, commuted on it and use it for weekend blasts it is quite simply

Have to say, having owned a Street R with the full Arrow system, quickshifter etc it is one of the few bikes I wish I had not sold...

The only thing that pissed me off with it was the intense "buzziness" of the engine and vibes at motorway speeds....

I paid £11,300 for my Speed R and it's worth every penny. Fast...handles beautifully...and draws attention everywhere I go...and like GN there is nothing in the market that would have me make a change. It's a Keep R.

never had an issue with that, to be fair I avoid Mways whenever possible but do use them and it's all day comfy at the speed limit (officer  ;) )

Think they will let me px a new born baby with only two previous owners?

I prefer the gearing of the old bike to the new one.

I had a test ride booked last weekend following most of the things I have heard on here - and the last bike being a Daytona has definitly made me  a bit of a triumph-o-phile!

Had to cancel because of the weather (which turned out to be a lovely day in the end).... but will certainly be re-booking. Even more excited than I was in the first place now
