No IMU? Come on Triumph. You should at least offer the improved safety as an option.

Why would one of these bikes need an IMU? That would be best for something with cornering abs and wheelie control. Maybe for the thruxton

@@NicePantsLance A dog can run out in front of any motorcycle in a corner. Road surface adhesion varies widely. Cornering ABS can save any rider on any bike that has it. As for wheelie control, it is a similar situation. It can save anybody. I inadvertently wheeled my 19 year old 650 twin just yesterday (just wanted to charge hard, but a little bump in the road added some unexpected spice). Rode it out OK, but an electronic overwatch would have been better. And I want traction control also. I started riding in 1966 and over the years I have seen quite a number of "one in a million" edge case situations. I cannot react 25 time a second. I love the looks of the Triumph Street Twin, but for about the same price we have the new Ducati Monster 950, the KTM 890 Duke R, and the Yamaha MT09 SP, all with the full IMU safety suite.

@@lewiswithrow1936 oh don't get me wrong, I totally agree that an IMU is a great safety feature. I just think it would increase the cost too much to be worth it for bikes like these. All of those bikes you mentioned are naked sports bikes, that make well over 100hp and weigh under 400lbs. Even on my tuned Speed Twin I think regular traction control and abs are more than enough. Maybe they could make it an accessory or something! Not gonna lie, I dig the look of that new Monster. Cheers 🤘

​@@NicePantsLance I'm glad we agree that having an IMU is a great safety feature. I realized that it was probably a bean counter issue, that is why I originally suggested that it be an option. I'm also glad you feel you have more than enough electronic angels on your bike. Choices and options are wonderful, however. I love that bikes are dangerous, but I also love that technology whittles away at the dangerous parts that aren't fun. I'm old enough to remember when disk brakes were considered extravagant and only necessary for the top spec bikes that were expected to be ridden very hard. I suspect that the full IMU safety suite will become a must have just as disk brakes and anti-lock brakes have. And people will wonder then as I do now "Why would you not have it?"

@@lewiswithrow1936 hopefully when the technology gets a little cheaper and more non-sport bikes start including them, I could definitely see myself with a cornering ABS equipped model. There's alot of dirt and gravel where I live, and I've been caught in some slippery mid-corner situations. Ride safe out there 🤘

As a 70 year old now, I've never forgotten the sound of a Bonneville being gunned up the road by a local lad who'd bought one in 1960. I was 9 years old at the time and my brother and my cousin were riding a Matchless 350 and an Ariel Leader respectively and this was, as they said, the first super bike of the era. Truly unforgettable.

That '59 at the beginning is so much better looking than the current models.

Tubeless wire wheels yet? At least maybe for the T120 models would be nice.

Fantastic... well done Triumph

Loving that Speedmaster!!

Was really hoping for tubeless wheels. Loved owning a Thruxton R but being stranded with a flat was too frequent and too painful. Scrambler 1200 or Speed Twin then

You can see that the engineers priority was function over fashion e.g. the fenders rap around 1/4 of the wheel to keep off the debris off the engine, there is also a rack on the fuel tank, the seat looks like it is thicker with more foam, and it came with a center stand.

Legendary bikes!!

I want at least one, if not two, of these babies!!

So nice to watch a video without people wearing masks. Thanks fellas.

Great video! Just to be clear, there’s going to be no bobber black anymore?

Can you self delete 🔧 icon and use 12H instead of 24H ⏰?

Triumph what about adjustable foot control positions for the speedmaster

The vintage bike looks better than any of the new ones.

And the speed twin...?

pinstriping!

Just now I read about the issues and the way Triumph is dealing with them... I was considering buying a T120... And after a couple of hours of research, I will wait for an opportunity for a BMW R69S... So disappointed by the British... Gearboxes, Rotors, Electrics... Riders that use to ride Bonnies for decades and have a couple of them are so disappointed that just left the Brand... And honestly, I don't believe you can trust Triumph.... Triumph was Triumph a long time ago.... 🙄

They should rebrand these bikes as Thai-umph. None of these bikes are now built in Britain. Triumph is moving all production to Thailand. Stop trying to deceive us Triumph in pretending these are British bikes. I bought a new street triple only to discover it was assembled in Thailand. If I had known this beforehand I would not have bought it. To put union jacks on these Bonevilles adds insult to injury. I will not be buying another new Triumph.
