Looks like the stock clearance has begun. Got the below message from my dealer.


Dear Friend,

This Diwali, ride home a Triumph Street Triple RS and get assured benefits upto INR 2.8 lacs. Give us a miss call at 9015170234 or visit One Triumph Gurugram to know more. T&C apply.

Team One Triumph


certainly don't feel like a friend anymore!!

Anyone knows what deals are available in Bangalore?

I'm still in two minds on whether to wait for the 2020 or pick up the current model. The advantage of the 2020 is that I can get the Grey colour and the additional torque.

The Pune dealer is offering 70k cash discount + 1 lac store credit (or a 58k worth Arrow slip-on).

In my humble opinion, the 1 lac store credit is an amazing offer. One can get pretty much all the required riding gear and this alone is a lot of money saved (they have a 35% discount offer on the gear as well). The 70k cash discount on the OTR isn't bad either and brings the bike's price down to 12.6 lacs (from 13.3 lacs).

The 2020 model has an auto-blipper, some revised lighter engine components and a different exterior design. The current model RS looks incredible while the revised design doesn't work the same magic, to put it mildly. I don't think that the 2 NM of additional torque is worth much in the real world, the current model has positive feedback from owners regarding the mid-range torque.

My suggestion would be to go for the current model and save some hard-earned money. The money saved can be used to replace the stock tires - a pair of Supercorsa SP V2's cost about 50k INR (an educated guess) and to fund servicing for the next 5 years!

I have a decent amount of safety gear already. Need some pants and/or knee guards and maybe some better shoes down the road. If the wife decides to ride with me, I'll need to get her some kit, but, I can always get it from the US, so it isn't a great incentive for me.

I'd prefer tuhe SC Project or Yoshi can. They've had a free Arrow on offer for a long time now.



The auto blipper is a feature I'd like. If I don't get it, I'm probably nutty enough to add it at some point. I'd also have loved an IMU, one reason I'm considering the 790, but, it doesn't feel it would be as nice as the Striple long term.

You don't feel the torque curve shift of the RS makes a case for it in real world conditions?

The cash discount i'd get would weigh against not getting the first choice of colour. I'm going to go and talk to the post Diwali. The last time I discussed it with the, they offered a rather nonsensical deal. Not one that would make me buy now.

Pleasantly surprised to hear of a Yoshi slip-on being considered for a Triumph. Most owners go for the showroom supplied Arrow.

I haven't ridden one, but I have ridden with one briefly. And I must say that the RS has amazing low end torque. I don't know which riding mode the rider was in, but I'm sure that the plethora of riding modes would also make a difference in the way the bike feels. It's a beautiful machine, and had it been my 2nd or 3rd bike, would've surely got one. It's a machine meant for experienced riders and not for newbies.

In my opinion, Triumph sales folks (atleast the ones in Pune) have a take it or leave it attitude. This leads to polarizing experiences sometimes. But if you have decided that's the bike you want, best to go ahead as the deals are decent.

I have a few friends in the same conundrum and my suggestion would be to wait for the 2020 model. The improved torque curve will be a big boon in the real world and the autoblipper will be sweet too. But most importantly, you'll always have that tinge of regret when you see a new one on the road - and that's not something you want when you are spending good money on a bike.

Yeah I am waiting for now. Don't have a bike currently, so am debating pushing the purchase back by a few more months and buying the Interceptor 650. I've been out of the game for close to 6 years now, so this may make more sense in any case.

BTW, Niranjan, don't you ride the Tuono? Have you seen the Aprilia RS660? My jaw dropped. If it rides like a baby Tuono, both of them are dream bike for me.

If you are getting back after a long break, would definitely recommend an Interceptor/Duke390 for sometime. Either of these bikes can be a very competent 2nd bike in your garage whenever you pick up the 765RS.

I ride the RSV4, the slightly saner brother of the Tuono The RS660 looks absolutely drool worthy and if it handles like the other Aprilias then it will bring the dead middleweight supersport segment back to life.

My last bike was the Gen 1 Duke, so I think the Interceptor makes more sense this time around.

If the RS660 pricing makes it affordable compared to the Striple RS, I'm going to be in a huge dilemma. The Daytona 765 is expected to be priced at a point that makes it untenable for me.

Saner version of the Tuono that's like saying non spicy Andhra food

A bit late to the party, but just got to swing a leg over the new RS at EICMA and it fit like an old glove and looks even sharper than before. Now, only to make sure she reaches the garage soon....
