Coming from a 790 Duke this bike felt alien to me. Riding position felt similar but footpegs felt are so high up. The feeling on the road was totally different experience. The RS felt numb to the road, it just absorbed everything. It would just hold its line, the never seemed to move around it would just flow through corners. Totally strange experience and actually unnerving at first. So much power but it doesn't jerk or get away from you, you only get what you ask for unlike the 790 which is very urgent in comparison.

One strange thing i dont understand is how folks rave and carry on how wonderfully AWESOME the Yamaha CP3 900 engine is...I mean it really gets the accolades! But I dont seem to hear similar opinion towards the RS? I would have thought being more powerful and higher revving (i think?) it would get even more praise than the much lower powered CP3 Yamaha motor? Are the both not similar firing orders? Is the "cross plane" THAT much different that it attracts such adoration compared to other triples? BTW I DO own a '22 Yamaha MT-09 with the TRULY intoxicating CP3 890cc motor ....if the 1200RS has a similar nature then I want one! I mean if it is the 170 hp version of the little 117hp CP3 ....IS that the case? Or not?

@dougiequick1

Жыл бұрын

BTW The rumors appear consistant and persistant that Yamaha is just about to reveal a brand new R! TRIPLE! At least one source suggests it will be 1100cc and almost all the sources suggest it being TURBO charged to boot! Can you imagine A wonderful natured CP3 similarly adorable to the MT09 motor except DOUBLE the power?? Which a Turbo 1100 triple could EASILY deliver (double would be like 235hp) It would simply destroy everything in the class INCLUDING Italian V4s and Austrian 1290s and even would give the H2 a royal pain its arse! Besides you KNOW Yamaha will make any R1 Turbo r otherwise competitvely lightweight so it is NOT going to be the heavy beast the supercharged H2 is! Turbos are lighter than SC anyway and a three cylinder is considerably less metal than an Inline 4 Actually I figure its totally possibly Yamaha could build Turbo Triple R1 that is just as light as their current normally aspirated R1. Also note that with today's turbo technology the troubling turbo lag with hard hitting power is a thing of the past if done right...apparently the key is in using sophisticated fueling programs and running larger (than ld school) turbos but using less boost...it COULD be perfection? We shall soon see I suppose

Thanks a lot for the comparison with the competition about the chassis !! This is what I was hoping and waiting. Glad to know how the new Speed 1200 ranks against it's rivals. I laughed so much with that cow giving birth 😂😂😂 I can't wait to see the video shootout : Tuono V4 vs Streetfighter V4 vs Superduke vs Speed 1200 😍 Which is best in each compartement (agility, braking, engine, gearbox, ergonomics, etc).

If everything goes to plan I'll pick up one of these around this time next year. They've knocked it out of the park in my opinion.

I would be in love with the s1000R save for one issue being they mount the headlight and clocks to the FORKS rather than the frame! IMHO that just sucks for adding a windscreen! With a frame mounted headlight like the MT-10 and 1200RS there is the potential for adding a windscreen that WONT be trying to steer the bike in strong cross winds etc. The only thing with the Triumph is there are no robust windscreens available that I can find! Just a tiny one from Puig is all I have seen s far as opposed to the MT10 there is a whole selection of avialble sizes

The Speed Triple for me screamed midlife crises, I'm 52....this on the other hand.

thankyou mate that was a truly excellent review

Awwwww you bugger Al! I was trying to get this bike out of my mind, so as to not go from one PCP (ST RS) into another - but I'll have to give it A LOT of thought now!!

Have heard a few testers complaining about how stiff the bike is. Shame because that shouldn’t be the case with the state of Triumphs home countries roads. The suspension development team should have ironed that out, no excuse at the price of bikes today. Good looking bike all the same.

Why as an OEM, not picking on Triumph, would you have a press launch (lots of $$$) and not have a suspension guy(s) there to dial in the bike for the journalist??? Here's your bike for the day.....lets set the sag, turn the knobs for street vs track and go have fun. Adjust through out the day as needed. This is 2021 and IMO it's very short sighted by the OEM's. Looks like a really nice bike.

I totally agree! I own one and it is so comfortable and you can trust the bike in every corner: you didn’t feel like you’re going to high side from super nose dive, you don’t feel like the ass is constantly going to give out moving higher or lower in a corner passing someone then going max wrist, or any real problems I’d bitch about. I’m 6’5 and my lanky ass can make this bike do whatever I want on the track or street. I own a panigale V4s and this speed triple is no dog by any means.

Great review keep em coming

Nice review, in classic 44t style we love, i have been so tempted to get one (still maybe will) and sell my Street Triple 765 RS, i dont ride on track so may just keep the 765 now.

Well, we have seen the jurno's chasing BHP cred with sports bikes. Now big naked bikes too. To me, anything ballpark is going to thrill beyond expectations. Just buy the one that rocks your world and ride with your mates.

The way he says it “Super Juke Aah” 😄

Booked a test ride but after this review by Al I think I'll just go ahead n buy. Watch me fly by on it. Lancashire. Nice 1 Al for your review on it.

damn i like this wheelie action, i hope you guys would add more of it to your uploads.

Love the look and sound of this bike. Possible contender for myself. Also just renewed my bike insurance with @BeMoto mentioned 44-teeth which to my surprise means I only pay £100 excess in the event of an accident. Happy days. 👍👍🍺🍺🏍💨

I test rode this a few weeks back. Handles lovely and brakes are very strong. Felt light and flickable. Well built, good finish. The Tuono felt heavy and slow to turn in comparison. The Triumph does loose out on mid range punch to the Other bikes in this sector. This bike would have been a contender if they separated the wheelie control and traction control. I find that just lazy.

Triumph is completely dropping the ball on electronics! I love my 765rs but it could use an imu and advanced electronics. I'd love to buy a 765 moto2 but for that price with old tech? And now this, what's the point of an imu if you can't have wheelies and TC separate?

fuck yes, feels like a damn lifetime waitin for this one

Thanks for the review I was really thinking about swapping out my 1050rs for the new one and this put me right off. Still going to try it but as it seems they have sacrificed road for track no point swapping my road bike for it. Maybe time to update the zx10r instead.

I met a couple of lads at Kielder who had one each. They said the same even though they'd had them to a local TT racer who twiddled the suspension, they said the bike was better but still firm and definitely different to the old road biased 1050. Hmmmm!

I've got a 2020 Speed Triple RS. Only goes on the road, it's too fricking quick for me , speed limits, or my abilities. I do find it quite comfortable. I'm itching to get a go on this one, although I think my wallet will be safe this summer (unlike last summer, when it got emptied on a Speed Triple RS) As for the old Speed Triple RS not being any quicker than a Street Triple RS , well maybe, but my naff gear selection means I find riding a Speed Triple RS more enjoyable. I don't have to bang up and down the gear box as much as I did on test rides of the Street RS. Yeah the Street RS was more agile, but I guess I like lazy gear selection, and just using the low down torque coming out of corners.

Great review thank you. Just a question Has the steering stabilizer installed on the bike?

Melton Mowbsssss, where I live 😊 weird route you guys took looking for good roads though. The Saxby Rd has average speed cameras all down it too.

I'm confident that a fully faered version will come out eventually, in the same sense the Tiger 1050 Sport was a faered version of the speed triple, yeah yeah, taller and whatnot, but that's the kinda variant of bike that sells, not sportsbikes

As allways the realistic report on this bike. Thx from an aging and fast Tuono-Rider who spend years and money prior tuning his old Speed triple till it dropped. Love the new bike exept the poor exaust position and fixing by the footrests...

Couldn’t agree more about the outgoing bike’s demeanor. Interested to test ride the new bike before deciding my next purchase.

Wish they'd make them in more colours. For 4 years now you can only get the Street Triple RS in black, white or grey. Thinks it's the same for the Speed. Want to see some metallic reds/greens. Also, not being able to speed on camera due to the Joe Achilles precedent is a shame.

I bought a 2020 superduke r 4 months ago. I really wish I would of waited. Then again its been freezing and I haven't given it a good thrashing yet. First service and its had a wiring relocation recall, due to the rear subframe rubbing wires bare.

This thing is begging for a factory full fairing kit. I know Triumph has said that they may not release a standalone sport bike based on this chassis but hopefully they will offer an add on kit to convert the bike.

Sounds good; shame no track footage under power :( we’ll keep an eye out for follow-up footage

Loving the new suit Al 👌🏽

The 2018 rs version is quite good, imo. It is the maximum evolution I agree. Ohlins, gadgets, and 150hp... not bad.

Nice review 👍

Fantastically done as usual, why couldn't you have your camera on, on track ? Is it an embargo thing ?

Great Review 👍🏻

Not a bad offering for the money. I think I'd spend just a bit more and go for the usual hypernaked bikes, like Tuono or Superduke.

I've got an SDR and an MT09, and they're both absolute blasts. I'd say, upping a sporty triple engine to 1160 will probably push the Triumph ahead of the SDR. I can definitely see one in my future!

Nice suit Al!

Might be time to trade in my Street Triple R 2011, 1200RS with decat could make it only about 10 kilo difference.

Hmmm....Michael Rutter lapped the last version (2018) Speed Triple 1050 RS faster than a 2017 Superduke at Donnington albeit slower than the all mighty Tuono! The 2021 Speed Triple 1200 could be a Tuono slayer!

Not the shining review I was optimistic for, but it looks and sounds ‘kin lush mind. Reckon if the launch had been able to be in Spain or in Ducati’s back yard the road test would’ve been more fun. Get hold of one for a group test somewhere sexier ? Donnington prob flattered it a bit ? Back to back with a 765 RS on track would be good !!

I think the cost difference between this and a 765RS is ridiculous. £10.5k vs £15k, according to the triumph website. This has no benefits other than a punchier motor, but the 765 is not lacking there. I think these will be a rarity by comparison.

I was considering shopping for deals on a 2020 1050 RS however his description of them plus the issues I’ve read online today about gearbox issues has convinced me to not bother.

This looks like it's something I need to try. The KTM I had new with the original 1290R 1.0 66 Reg. Although was fun it fell to bits and just was not worth the premium price for a sub standard quality bike.
