Stick with it, they do take some getting used to but are well worth the effort. Welcome.

WELCOME!! to the R3 family. I'm excited for you!!! Is this your first Triumph? I don't have the new beast (maybe one day) but I understand the weight issue. Making sure those handlebars are straight, using both brakes, and ensuring your foot is firmly planted is something more forgiving on other bikes... but not our beloved Rockets. On a positive note, I've somehow dropped almost every bike I've owned once, so you got yours out of the way. ENJOY your new Permanent Grin...

BTW, any photos?

Hello @smordue1 and welcome from Virginia. Tell us more about your bike history. I'm thinking your previous bike was a small one to be 50% less weight then the 2020 R3GT; which is significantly less weight than the previous version. I am not diggin on you at all, we just love history lesson here, and pictures...
