Best bike reviewer on YouTube in my opinion ...straight forward, down to earth, honest ..no gimmicks.. please don't let your growing popularity spoil your approach ..!! !and keep them coming please ...!!!👌👌😄😁

We need a comparison video between all the new super nakeds that have come out... This segment is probably the most competitive!

Love this channel for its honest review that’s not obsessed with just the speed of the bike… think I will stick with my current RS for mainly a commute with the odd weekend fun thrown in 😬

I've got around 1600km on my Speed 1200 and the gearbox and shifter seem to have gotten smoother the more I ride it. When brand new it indeed was sometimes a bit clunky quickshifting in city speeds but now it's super soft and smooth, the best shifter I've ever tried.

Excellent review. If I didn't already have the SDR, this would make my buying decision more difficult as I do love the rev/torque balance and smoothness of a triple. Nice to see Triumph back in the running

One of the cleanest YT brands and love your selection of music 👌Thanks MB

Just the premium quality that this Speed triple exudes is just exemplary

[samjanko]

One of the best reviews on the entire web as far as positives and a few negatives about the bike. Completely new dashboard is definitely needed ala multistrada, optional active suspension should be offered as a expensive option, no matter what market research said and opportunity is sadly missed for a front double\ single lights reimagining

Triples are that sweet spot between V2’s and i4’s. Like a V4 but a little more character. Plus triples easier to work on vs v4. Great video

Excellent review Bob 👍🏻 You’re getting pretty good at this! 😁 You cover everything cleanly and precisely, without waffle! Having a track focused bike for sh1tty British roads does seem a terrible waste (unless you’re a masochist) but if it can be dialled down for a little comfort without sacrificing power it looks to be a winner! Thanks 👍🏻

Good one BOB. What a great machine. It really is a Super Naked now.

I'm still riding the 2013 Speed Triple and it's still my favourite bike I've ever owned. The only thing that I don't like about this one is that it is extremely limited in its colour options. I don't want anything flashy though, I just have a thing for white motorcycles. That being said, it won't stop me from upgrading to the new 1200.

I agree with everything said in the video (I have test ridden both the Speed Triple 1200 RS and the KTM) except the comments about the gear box “being pretty darn good”. The gearbox is really harsh to use on this new Speed and this, with or without the clutch. To the point of being a show stopper for me.

Tuono Factory has semi-active electronic suspension without costing Streetfighter money. SF has an additional 30hp plus it's Ducati.

[utkarshkaushik]

Damn that bike looks soo menacing from front those lights are best this and the Duke 1290 r are the best looking but on this I miss those underseat exhaust those were the special thing about the speed triple but yaa it's still a beast of a bike

Back when i was working at a Trumpet shop, I got the chance to ride the first speed triple and that was a hoot. Trumpets, like most new bikes R just much 4 me now at 60+. I would hurt myself.
