What is it about the STriple that you like? I ask as I had a "regular Streety" in my garage for a year or so. Extremely light bike with razor edge handling.

It is the best of the naked bikes in my opinion. Wins every comparison test I have read. Uses a 3 cylinder engine which is something different. I have never owned a European brand street bike. I have always wanted something from Triumph. And it is not an overly expensive bike.

Anyone with a 2014-15 LR feeling the need to go and get the slightly updated 2016 LR? I like the new colors but the motor "upgrade" seems very minor.

Not thinking about it, if it was a 110 CVO than I might.

Not at all...I just got back from a 105 mile ride, the more miles I put on my bike the more I like it. It just keeps gettin' better with each mile...

No plans to change bikes either. I am just getting mine the way I like it and will have it for years to come. The only other major change I may make in a year is to have the bike repainted. I ran into a guy with an older LR in another town a few hundred miles away that was cherry red. It looked stunning with the chrome. So during the winter of 16~17 I may pull the tank and fenders to have them painted.

Here is one, taken at Highway 101 HD in Coos Bay, OR, where it had its 1000-mile service and a metric speedometer installed.

Most people with a LR have done a Stage 1, so I really see no value in getting the HO 103. The next big leap will occur when the 110 makes its way to a CVO LR.
