Thank you H1mb3! This is really a great bike and if I wanted an old style looking bike, this is the bike I would buy right now. Thank you for the compliment on the video editing and thank you for spreading the word for me :). Ride safe and ride like there's nothing to prove, Scott

Just love your videos, they are simple, clear and funny ! Great Job !

Coolest review if the Speed Twin that I've seen so far, lots of information in your video. Great to see a straightforward review without the hyperbole that many others include. I had approx an hour's test ride and got the same feeling for it and can confirm the on/off "shunt" with the throttle being the only issue. Great news, if true, that an R is on its way

Your video presentation is the best I’ve seen on KZread. Keep up the good work!

This was the best Review I have ever seen. 2 thumbs up !

I just got mine on Friday and already put 200 miles on it. I started riding again after 30 years . Couldn’t be a better choice for starter but powerful bike that is easy to ride and I can flat foot it at 5’ 8” tall.. it brought smiles on my face in this COVID times.

I like the different delivery style that is you (y) I like the low puttability factor segment of the video because I have to ride like that at times and I've not seen that addressed in many of the other videos specific to this bike. I already like the bike and it's been on my 'want list' since hearing of it's release but of all the 'reviews' I've seen so far, I find this one the most compelling of the lot thus far... Thanks for that mate :)

Great review. I've had mine since February here in Australia, and I'm loving it. If you kept it, you'd soon start using the Sport Mode, but I leave mine in Road most of the time, which works fine for me. Your summary of the bike is spot on.

Love your honest, informative reviews, two thumbs up Scott 👍👍, great bike too.

Thanks for the review, Scott. You have the same feeling about riding this bike as I do. I have a ‘65 Triumph TR6 that’s identical to one I bought brand new in 1965 and watched as it was uncrated and assembled at the dealership. After 5 years and 50,000+ miles on that bike I sold it as I needed the money. At the time I had no idea how special that bike was. Over the years I’ve had many bikes but none of them gave me as much riding enjoyment as that old TR6. Light, responsive and very agile it was such a pleasure to ride even with a passenger which was often the case. A couple years ago I happened to find a beautifully restored ‘65 TR6 for sale and bought it. It is just as much fun riding it as I remembered. On Halloween this year I bought a new Speed Twin after reading many favorable reviews and it’s specs, including its light weight and handling characteristics. As you stated, it is indeed like riding a vintage Triumph from the ‘60s except with all the modern features and of course much more power and smoothness. Fun to ride and comfortable too. I love it. So I’ll ride the TR6 to vintage meets and shows but take the Speed Twin on longer rides.

You're welcome Ken! The Speed Twin is the only Triumph I would actually buy right now. They did a great job on it. The Street Twin needs a little more refinement before I'd buy it, they need to kill the 18 inch front wheel and make it a 17. And give it better brakes...just to mention a couple things. Ride safe and ride like there's nothing to prove, Scott

Very informative review great work as usual!👍

I have the Street Cup...I want the Speed Twin. Perfect video. Thank you.

Speed Twin is one of the best and most unique bikes I’ve tested recently. The sport mode does make sense when you’re in the mood. This bike winds up and goes more than I expected, much more. It’s rapid. It’s noting like the T120 and seems more raw than the Thruxton. The Speed Twin is the gen in their Classic lineup and absolutely the bike to buy.

Just subscribed, great channel with top notch content.

My two favorite modern +1000cc classic are the Speed Twin and the Honda's CB1100RS, either one of them are gonna give you lots of great riding experience and a happy face.

I liked the thing you did with intro.

Recently discovered your channel and like your style. Torn between this, the Street Scrambler, Scrambler 1200, R9T and Z900RS. Hope you can review the Street Scrambler and the Kawasaki at some point, would love to hear your take on them.

I test rode this yesterday & loved it. My biggest ‘issue’ was how uncomfortable the seat is... Road mode was awesome, but Sports mode was ‘ludicrous’; loved it 😎 However, I was hanging on (as I’m used to the touring screen on my VStrom 1000). I’m seriously considering this or the 1200 XE Scrambler, which is also AWESOME!

Mal dieser ein super Video und eine ehrliche Meinung

I lost my T120 on sunday in an accident. I'm considering this as a replacement. I'm 6'5" and 210lbs. I looked a little ridiculous on the T120 but didn't care, it was a fun bike. What are your thoughts on this as a street bike/mild commuter for someome like myself? Cheers.

@NothingToProve

5 жыл бұрын

Well, the Speed Twin is smaller than the T120 in just about every aspect. Weight, length, height...etc. So you might be a bit cramped on this. Even myself being 5'10, I was borderline and I would consider getting a higher seat height...when one is available...since this bike is new...that may take some time.

I enjoy your videos! Quick question: how would you compare it to the Street Twin in terms of power delivery, brakes, and tires?

Nice video, just subbed!

crazy Q - as a commuter and 3 hr canyon ride bike - is this a decent trade coming off a speed triple? triple is intoxicating, but a bit committed for every day riding and not as telepathetic as my old (and sorely missed) street triple.? looking for a bike that can be driven lazy or hard and comfy regardless. Not sure this ticks that crazy (80-100 mph and solid acceleration). i dont need the 120+ mph of the speed ... most days, but the midrange is hard to lose.

@NothingToProve

4 жыл бұрын

This bike is at the top of my naked list for the reason that it does both crazy fast and lazy at the same time...all the while looking like a classic bike from the 50's. Triumph was criticized for putting Pirelli 3 tires on it from the factory because it made it look modern/sporty but when you lean this over in a fast corner for the first time, you'll understand why. It does them fast and with very little effort or skill required from the rider. Oh and you can ride this fast, I rode this with another guy that was on a first gen 1290SDR and I had to wait for him quite a few times but that's probably saying more about his riding skills than the bike. Two 👍👍

Nice review! Really can't decide between getting this and just keeping my T120.

Hi, Matt. Eventually it all boiled down to the T120's comfortable seating position, and to work I'd already done, like adding floating front brake discs, decat, cruise control, and the superior T100 head lamp. Didn't want to have to do any of this again. Cruise and a center stand cannot be added to the Speed Twin at all. The T120 is well suited to the kind of riding I do, so keeping it was an easy decision to make.

Hi Scott, When you said "Take her for a spin... but be carefull, bring your wallet because you'll want to put money down and get one!!" you described precisely what happened to me :) I went at the local Triumph dealership to look at the Tiger 1200.....but when I saw the new Speed Twin, I completely forgot about the Tiger! Of course I made the "mistake" of taking the bike on a quick test drive....it's incredible how much riding pleasure this bike gives you, even riding it slowly or in city traffic. The weight completely disappears like magic, as if you were riding a bike with a MUCH smaller displacement. I didn't put any money down as I was not planning in getting a street bike*** soon, but seing and then test driving the Speed Twin, completely changed that. What an incredible bike!! ***: currently own a 2019 Beta 300 RR and a 2020 Ktm EXC 300 Tpi, for Hard enduro rides with friends on weekends.

Continuous improvement is all I'm trying to do, each video is better than the previous. My main problem with shooting out side is that the lighting conditions keep changing, sun, clouds, some clouds, more clouds, wind...etc. Some of these things one just can't fix in post.

Aesthetically pleasing, but, for the life of me, I can’t understand why Triumph keeps the pinch-weld tank. The Scrambler hides it pretty well, so they’re aware making the tank look like a made-in-China tin toy says “cheap” more than bespoke.

Ride modes, your not the first to observe "rain mode" is the best mode for at least 80% of your riding. Seat height, thanks for explaining your weight , inseam and overall height, gives me much more info than other reviews did.

Yes, I suppose by now that there are a lot of aftermarket things one can buy for this bike. But when I did this review back in March, the bike was just released. Also Triumph has fixed the mapping that I mentioned with a software update. So no, one does not need to leave it in rain mode any more once it's fixed.

Thanks for the vid, I just have to disagree with you on one point, I do ride my Speed Twin always in Sport mode, even in the city as it turns out the characteristics of the bike most, in my opinion. For all Speed Twin and Thruxton riders I wanna recommend the throttle alteration, which gives you a better feeling over the acceleration by reducing the leak of the throttle. Just two little plastic rings. Easy to mount in 5 min but makes a huge difference!
