‘It’s a great roadster’

It’s ironic, but in making the RS such brilliant value for money, Triumph have done the S model a disservice. The S is a great roadster that has a wonderful triple motor and a good level of equipment. But the RS is priced so tantalisingly and has lots of extra equipment. So it’s almost impossible to turn it down, especially as most of the items are inevitably bought aftermarket by owners anyway. If you owned a Speed Triple S you would be delighted, until you parked it next to an RS.
