Lack of decent colour choice is biggest issue with the R. If it was available in yellow, they'd ride themselves out the showroom.

I have to disagree with Mike about the R being a more comfortable ride, the RSs suspension is much more adjustable and even has a "comfort" setting not available on the R, the R is a great bike but the RS just trumps it on just about everything from it's looks (the colours only available on the RS) the stylema brakes, Ohlins suspension, bar end mirrors and extras, the extra power is only really noticeable at over 10,000 rpm. there is IMO one thing were the R is better, the TFT, the one on the RS is too cluttered with tiny letters and numbers were the one on the R is simple but tells you what you need to know with no fuss but the TFT is a minor gripe and the overall superiority of the RS swung it for me.

This is probably going to be my next - and last - bike. What I can't believe is of the many, many videos I've watched about the bike, not a single one has mentioned what it's like to maintain. That means keeping it clean, oiling and/or adjusting the chain, how easy the tyre valves are to get to, etc (especially the front). These are important things that no reviewer seems to think anyone cares about. Maybe I'm the only one who does - I'm an old duffer, bending over/down, crouching etc is really hard, so how easy a bike is to clean and maintain is very important. Maybe reviewers don't have the bike that long - but maybe they should make a point of cleaning one, just so they can tell us?

Well, it wouldn’t be the first time you have a bad foot day. Reminder: Still waiting for the Usernamesis camping and Usernamedad video’s.

R has better display, engine feel the same, and Cheaper✊🔥

[@paulelliott6655]

I have an R in grey. I bought it over the RS because of its road bias. I have fitted a belly pan, screen, bar end mirrors, heated grips (all genuine triumph) some evotech goodies and had it ceramic coated so spent more than a standard RS. i don't feel the vibes but the mirrors get quite fuzzy. Love the bike. Didn't think I would use the extra performance and I hate the RS Dash. Which is ironic as I have a 900 Tiger Aragon rally Pro

If they had kept the seating position from the previous gen and put a simple round headlight I would buy it. Instead I passed on it 3 times for a different bike.

[@martinhughes9769]

Triumph’s are lovely bikes , can’t say they make a bad bike ,not a fan of the dash on this ,

[@johnschlesinger2009]

I bought a R in 2022, really love it - has an analogue tacho, which I much prefer, and they made them in matt black then, which I think looks great.

[@10rGreenninja]

The RS suspension can be set to comfy (settings in the manual) which makes it a better road bike and then you can put. into track mode for track days 🙂

[@garybinnyc]

I enjoy all of your videos .. your reviews are honest and very balanced.. can’t wait to hear your view on the MXR soon.. have one in Oder and just can’t wait

[@andrewprice1189]

Agree with the comment on the drab colours slowing sales of the R. Same issue that the speed triple 1200rs had in its first year. Triumph need to have the same colour options regardless of the model

[@user-bu9wo6gg1y]

Another great review Kate have a rs myself and love it would recommend 😊

[@punkrockdidi]
