Well,

£11,149 for the Tiger Explorer, pricey but not anything I wasn't expecting.

But £11,299 for the Speed Triple R Shocked Jeez, thats a hell of a price hike from what the standard Speed Triple cost in 2011.

Ouch, local dealer has a fair few VERY low mile (~300) 11/61 plates up for sale at lower than retail prices.

Price hikes = Thumbs Down

Ohlins, Brembo and forged wheels will do that to a price tag!

For those prices you can have two 2011 Ducatis either two Hypermotards or two Monsters.

You would have to be fucking insane to pay that for a Triumph, that is bordering on MV territory

Could you have a 1199 Hypermotard for that money? I doubt it.

The standard one was about 10k last I looked.

But you definitely couldn't have 2 hypermotards or monsters for the prices of the Speed Triple R

Hypermotard 796= £7,395
Monster 696= £6,495

Even if you could it is redunant anyway Laughing

It's not cheap but they aren't extortionate. The Explorer undercuts a GS with similar spec and the Triple R is an increase roughly equivilant to the extra cost of the shiny parts.

An there isn't an 1199 Hymo, it is 1100, it uses the monster engine.

2012 Ducati Monster 1100S (evo) £9,995
2012 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 £9,995 OTR
2012 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP £11,295
2012 Ducati Streetfighter £12,000 and that is a brand new model.

Triumph are getting a bit up themselves with their prices, no way I would pay that much for a Triumph, you really would have to be insane, would much rather a Monster all day, and I can then spend like £2k on other things.

Thats horses for courses though isn't it. I wouldn't have a Ducati. The only one I ever had spent more time looking pretty than going anywhere Laughing

I'm certainly up for the Tiger Adventure though. Now how can I get that past the wife Thinking

The standard Street Triple is £8k and has more power and torque than the Monster. There isn't a Monster S only and EVO model AFAIK

I'd buy that and then I can spend like £2k on other things.
