The non R's were actually preferred by some people. The suspension was set up pretty well out of the box and softer than the R (which was terrible on my STR until I got it set up professionally).
Brakes were fine on the one I rode. Maybe not quite as sharp as my STR but perfectly adequate. Motor on those I'm not sure if there was much difference but I certainly don't remember noticing anything.
I got the R for the same reason 90% of people got the R and the same reason people buy cars with the M or Arbarth badge, pose value
To sum up, I would happily have a non R and pocket the difference but I'm not the hooligan I once was. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Had a spin on both, and can honestly say that either far exceed my capabilities, and I have ridden a lot of bikes in my time.... Unless you are superman, you won't be disappointed with either... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M
