Took my Speed into Triumph today to get the baffles out. They came out, no problems, but they came out and told me Ohlins have recalled on a safety issue on rear shock!! :(

Got in today and a letter had arrived from them to recall, I had no idea about it when heading over there this morning. Luckily I'm the first to be recalled at that dealer, so should be sorted quickly.

Gutted. They have ordered a new one. Hopefully have my Speed back on Tuesday.

Eurgh, I hate all the tacky red on the Street Triple R's.

They shouldn't sell them without the fly screen either!
 
Yup, not even close to as nice as my Speed, definitely needs to be white & have tail tidy, then needs the right swing arm cutting off.

And they're quite slow :p
 
Far quicker than the Speed on mountain roads ;)

The better version with the twin under seat exhausts (with more power, and better acceleration due to a shorter first gear) doesn't look too bad without a tail tidy.
 
Pssh whatever

Yeah, would look much nicer with exhausts under the seat like they used to do. The tail looks a bit spindly on this one.

Ohlins have done a massive recall on everything from a batch... they had one failure I believe and have had to recall all bikes under that batch... it's caused them problems as they moved their manfactoring plant away and it's caused them a massive backlog by all accounts.
