That price makes the 2025 Honda CB1000 seem stunning value.

I think this new model just made my 2019 Street Twin even more valuable.
Analog clocks, better tank, logo, colour and headlight.
It looks less more modern than classic now.

[Regdor]

Triumph is obsessed with that dash. They're cheepening all their bikes with it. Might have better functionality, but it looks crap.

Like the forks, do not like the tank, headlight or exhaust. Very happy with my 2020 Street Twin. It has been a great bike. Love it around town commuting, and yes it does run out of steam, but oh, oh so good on the back roads. Especially after tuning the front suspension (spring upgrade and oil weight change) and upgrading the rear shocks. Always fun, fast or slow, but great fun on back roads in the hills and twisties. Like the conti road attack tires, and they sell ones that fit the front.

[Wanderider]

Cruise control, 6 speed transmission, brembo brakes, led lights and classic colors. Those are the things that we need Triumph. The only thing good thing mentioned is the usb charger 🙄.

[Fernando]

Very beautiful overall design effort. The main difficulty to accept is the substitution of the twin classic clocks for this round modern dash. Didn’t like it on the 1200 Scrambler X, and surely, also on the speed twin lineup.

I'm a non-Triumph owner and will be purchasing one in 6 months. I was interested in the Speed Twin 900, T-100 and T120 and cannot make up my mind because they are all beautiful!!

The good thing about this update is Triumph made it easier for me to decide which bike I'll be buying. It'll be between the T100 and T120. The ST900 was gorgeous and I think they ruined it. I don't think it'll be their "top seller" any more. YMMV.

[aintnothinbutdablues]

Sorry, but I’m glad I bought the previous version. A beauty to ride!
This is not…

[breakrodo]

14:18 bro! £310 extra for Cruise Control? Come on! It should be a standard feature @triumph
Honestly, as you said, the new trident seems to be a better option.

[kaveiros]

I know that I was always begging Triumph to bring back their experimental, unusual yet beautiful vivid colours... But I think I would go with the gray here, since it shows much clearer the lines and curves of the tank - and ultimately the whole bike.

[BenBaleares]

This renewal doesn’t suit my taste at all. It’s far from being ‘a big thumbs up from me’—quite the opposite! The Speed Twin is losing its roots and its timeless, consistent style, increasingly resembling a standard Asian or Indian bike. Fortunately, I bought the previous version in the classy British Racing Green with a black stripe. From me, it’s a thumbs down! The Speed Twin is no longer an option.

[jonr]

Nice update. My old ST900 was a great bike, I loved the engine, transmission, and especially the 5 long gears, so much better than 6 gears.
I would have preferred a taller seat, the much better dash from the Trident, and cruise control.
Triumph ticked all those boxes, well done.
My only negative would be if they were changing the tank, make it bigger to extend the range.

[NamNguyen-hmvo]

Congrats to Triumph, for making the ST900 looks even far more misaligned to its brothers 400 and 1200

[omega_profile]

On my 2016 Street the brakes an suspension were very poor sinds I got the bike. So good improvements there.
But the large clock and Bonneville tank gives character to the old bike and I will miss them.
I Might buy a 2022 Speed Twin 1200 this week because I miss my old 900..

[felipe-nt-d]

The bike looks so nice, wow! Love the rims.

[whome]

Seat height was cramping on longer rides and is my main complaint. Spot on as always Bob. You are the best Motorcycle reviewer, and YouTube content creator. You should have your own TV show.

[SSS-mpth]

65hp... just why.. Pick up an XSR900 and get 2x the power or there about for the same money. or a Z650rs for less.

[OntarioAndrews]

I like that colour. Looks cool. I do wish they would have took a blast from the past and made it look more like the Street Cup with a dual dash and bar end mirrors.
Good review. Cheers!

[thodoris]

hahaha you erased the scene where we could see the new tiger800....but i have it in screen shot

[philipTOMPSETT]

I always thought they were the same as my scrambler and just 5 speed. Glad to hear i’m wrong and look forward to seeing what dif the extra gear makes. Great vid thanks
