New 2013/4 Roadster

Just received the bike from customs after shipping from UK, and been assembling it this afternoon. Pleased with the quality and look for the ceramic coating on the exhaust.
I opted for the Triumph free flow exhaust accessory mufflers, i was surprised at how good they sound, much deeper growl/base sound than the stock - the dealer has remapped the ECU.
Have to take the bike out on the road and see if there is any real difference in the power/acceleration now between the 2010 and 2013 models - I've still got my other Roadster for now so can compare them back to back.

Sweet... I didn't realize Triumph offered black ceramic coated exhaust.

Edit: Never mind I missed the post about having the exhaust sent off.

Well had the 2013 Roadster a week now and been comparing it to my 2010 Roadster. Firstly visually and in the flesh side by side it looks sexier (I think) with the all the extra black, I’ve added the black screen and a colour matched belly pan. The new seat is a better place to sit too.
As to performance on the road, yes there is defiantly more fluidity in power delivery (mostly torque) in the lower gears - the power/acceleration is more readily available. Obviously this is seat of the pants feeling, after riding the two bikes back to back, would have to dyno them to get the true difference!

my 2 cents, early release 2014 model coming this june! stay tuned!

I was told by my dealer that they may see them this fall I just hope there wont be a lot of change between the 13 and 14 (Cosmetically). I really like the mat black and white stripes.

Very nice! Where did you get the belly pan?

Carbon Dry Japan
They can colour match any bike colour if you send them the colour reference.

Thanks, I think it looks great. They seem to have some net fender replacements as well.
