I like the GT but will never be able to afford it
Which model would you get?

Triumph sent me another survey last week and asked lots if questions about the new R3R and GT. My response in the end was asking them when the new R3T would be out and what will be on it...

Neither one appeals to me. I like fenders and big gas tanks.

As good as your spirit is to everyone on this forum I wouldn’t be surprised if your were gifted the one of your dreams

Plus a signed a deal with SWMBO that the blue beast is the last bike I buy.
Maybe one day she will go back to work to help pay for the kids activities.

I’d have to go with the Gt but none of the colours appeal, the black has no real presence and the grey looks a little off! Now a Matt red would be nice to see! Weird really as I prefer black bikes I just don’t think it brings anything to this machine!!!

I agree, but I've changed my order from a red to a black R simply because for me there's just too much red going on (front mudguard...). If they'd done just a red tank, it would have been perfect. I'm not a huge fan of black bikes (or cars, for that matter), but it was the lesser of two evils in this instance.

When I first saw the R in red my initial thoughts were WOW! but now given a little time your right it’s just too much Red or maybe the wrong red I’m not sure....

If I were to get another R3 - I'd want the GT as I'd want to do distance. But that tiny tank would worry me. For a distance bike I want 400km range and 100km emergency reserve on top.
