It doesn't look like they've done much to it.

I see they've still got a few million of those cheap silver levers left to use.

I think most manufacturers have a back lock of cheap silver levers.

Only seems Kawasaki did the right thing and binned the lot ;)

Those levers and switchgear need to change. They were awful 15 years ago...

I'd send better pics but this site wont let me upload as it has a limit to photo size from my phone. Got loads of pics.

Looks like sh*t wrapped in crap...don't care if it's "better" in any way whatsoever....a choice of bike should be an emotive choice, and the only emotion this thing would inspire is thoughts of "I'm glad this helmet is full-face, so no-one sees me on this massive POS".

I think my dog did one of those once :)

It's not that bad, just a bit busy for me on the design front.

I've seen worse designs but yes, what's supposed to be new about this thing?

Still hideously under powered, still hideously overweight and IMO less attractive than previous models. If they gave it another 20bhp and remove the MASSIVE exhausts this bike would probably right up there.

I felt embarressed for Triumph when I saw the Speed Triple R feature in a super naked shootout vs the Tuono 1100 and the KTM SuperdukeR 1290. The poor thing featured for all of 30 seconds before they focused on the Aprilia and KTM

It's not something I'd have in my garage...partly because I don't have a garage and partly because it's not my type of bike, I'd be more happier with the street triple, that's a loony bike
