Good, balanced review. I bought an RR a few months ago now without even sitting on one and it’s just had its first service. Downsides: the standard can is too quiet and doesn’t do the bike justice; it’s windy over 60mph; I do a lot of motorway riding ( I commute on the RR) and it’s quite fatiguing. I have a double bubble on order I’m hoping will help. Like all of these bikes, it’s a nightmare to keep clean! Other than that , I love it. It makes a twisty stretch of road a thing of joy and beauty. The riding position won’t be for some .. but I came from a committed full tuck sports bike .. so find the RR luxurious in comparison. If you’re thinking of one, ask Triumph for an extended test ride before laying down your moolah (or not) and make your decision based on that.

Hi, how was the wind with the double bubble screen please? And which brand is it? To help keep a bike clean, spray it with silicone (keep away from the brakes) and wipe off - it’s simple and reduces cleaning.

So a double bubble works pretty well on the RR. I have a Puig for my bike. It takes the air off of your chest during normal riding and makes a difference at high speeds because you can tuck in under it. I use my RR as a canyon bike so it's not that relevant for me and so I put the stock screen back on. But yeah, it works fine. @@jamesdonoghue5907

Sir You EFFING NAILED IT!!! I happen to own the Thruxton R with the Cafe Racer fairing. I ordered my Tiger 1200 GT Explorer back in March. I visited my dealer weekly to check on any info when it would arrive. Every time I was there, the speed triple was right in front of me. It grew on me to the point that I had to have it! My Thruxton is a 20'th century cafe racer. My speed Triple RR is a 21'st century Cafe racer. Evolution at it's finest! Both bikes reside in my living room when they are not being ridden. Works of Art!! I could sit and stare at them all day... Great video and Thank You for your realization! Ride SAFE and BE safe Sir! 🙌👏👏👏👏👏👍🖖✌👌🤙👋🙂🙂

Brilliant review! Stunning looking motorcycle!

The looks of that bike are really growing on me. And that triple sound doesn’t disappoint either. Another solid review in the books.

Great review as always Chopsy. I, as a proud owner of my Speed Triple RR definitely love it the more I ride it. Yes the screen annoys me a lot too, and despite the bloody restrictions of the electronics even limiting the top speed to 260kmh I still enjoy every second of riding it. Bu the way finding the neutral becomes easier after a few thousand kms. My shifter became more responsive after around 2000kms of riding.

I love how open minded and down to earth. We need more people like yourself man

I got this bike 1 month ago and i think they nailed it. The power, the handling the comfort. I really think it's one of the best sportbike for the road.

My only real downside with this bike is the Quickshifter that stops working when the bike gets too hot. Apart from that, I'm 5'7 and the position is spot on perfect for me to enjoy it on the road and to rip it on the track!

You said one thing near the end of your video about the height of the bars. The RR has genuine straight clip on's. When I bought the Fairing for my Thruxton R from Triumph it came with lower handlebar mounts than the stock Thruxton bar mounts. I didn't use them with the fairing and kept the stock mounts on. I am going to try and see if they will work on my RR. The lower ones still have a 1 and a half inch rise to them and would be perfect as you mentioned. BRILLIANT and thanks for that! It got me thinking of a use for them. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Chopsy, I loved the review of the RR. I think (unlike a lot of other reviews) you really get what Triumph are trying to achieve with this bike. BTW, how did you attach your phone to the top yoke?

Back in the day when I started riding, wheelie option is for free, that’s if you have the aptitude to do it, it’s amazing how manufacturers are able to monetize the motorcycle ability, it should be part in parcel when purchased

Just bought one from a local triumph dealer… changed from a 1050RS..your review seems more balanced than another channel I could mention. I agree the pegs are different to a sportsbike and I actually feel more comfortable with them then I did on my RS… the bars are low but part of me wanted a sportsbike experience again without a full on race rep and this fits the bill.. I personally think it’s looks amazing especially the carbon fibre all over the bike. I thought I had made a bit of an error with the comfort when I first started riding it especially on a commute but I now realise it’s something I need to get used to again. Power and handling are definitely the plus points and the noise of course !! Neutral is deffo a problem and can be irritating after a long ride, the dash is also a bit laggy, I wonder if this is something triumph could look to fix with a firmware upgrade!!

Interesting your slightly different view to Neevesy, where he was less positive but shared your issue (to a greater extent than you) about the wristiness of the RR. May be because you and he are differently shaped, and the greater height might make the RR more tolerable than for a slightly shorter chap. That was a nice review - thanks

I had a similar experience when testing the Speed triple 1200. Hard suspension and stiff gearbox. Had to go electric now as Paris has stopped petrol bikes parking anywhere! But have to say that I love my Zero FXE and is way faster than a stree triple up to 60!

I saw one of these for sale at my dealer last month, looks a little odd. I bought a 2020 Speed Triple RS instead.

As the owner of a Thruxton R/S with the fairing. It’s a no from me. Electronic issues/the dash would put me off. And I haven’t test rode it, have they chased top end power over mid range? The clips on, part of the cafe racer style. So wouldn’t be an issue.

Hi thx for rewiev, im also 188 cm 95 kg and is this bike can be a comfy traveling between cities around 400 km or will it be painful?

I love the style of this bike (the half fairing), I love the sound and the triple engine, I love the quality. I don’t like the front light mount which is really at odds with the fairing surrounding it. Also this bike is so boring to look at it could easily be a bmw. I’d probably still buy it but not to feast my eyes. I do get why some like its looks though. It’s almost there…

I have been looking at the new S1000rr but they go for low 20k in the US. Now I’ve come across this 1200rr for 16k. Question is the BMW worth 4-6k more than the triumph? Open to feedback especially folks that have ridden both!

I believe that you will never find the perfect bike but with a few personal mods on any bike we can get close

Yep, those clip-ons are too low. I’ve sat on the RR at my dealer several times wanting to like the riding position but I always come away with the same thought “why couldn’t they be just a couple inches higher”. I’ve even contemplated the idea of cutting into the fairing to make room for higher clip-ons. Such a gorgeous bike, but that supersport riding position is enough to keep me away. Still searching for the perfect bike myself…

Get it down you're neck 😁👍

Nice bike. I just don’t like the way the front looks. BTW the difference between unlawful and illegal…………….unlawful is against the law and illegal is a sick bird !

I think the owner experiences of faults, particularly in relation to electronics, has tarnished the reputation of this bike. Not surprised that dealers are having to discount them. Even as a previous Triumph owner & fan it’s a big no from me.

I want to like the new sponsors as their idea is a good (if not great) one, but their KZread channel is still showing a video from 2016 "reviewing" £20 Aldi motorcycle boots as sturdy, when they look like they'll shred at the first sign of some asphalt. Maybe have a word and get them to update their socials?

Can't watch it now chopsy, knockhilllll braaaap.

I believe that would constitute "riding without due care and attention" so yes, it is illeagle for a rider not to be in control of the machine.

How does a 280 lb (20 stone) man evaluate a stock suspension setup?

I tasted the MV Agusta SuperVeloce, I think it's the only one bike to rival the Triumph. Very close price also... In Spain we can take a brand new S1000RR Sport with the dynamic and comfort package ( non the M package) directly from the dealer near 22-23k € in the same week will be with the plates. No reason to go with Triumph
