All suspension oil gets old and needs to be serviced. An Advantage on the Ohlins is that they can be rebuilt and refreshed to new performance. I put on the Tec rear rack with a Givi case & Plate on my wife's Speed Twin 1200. The Tec Rack fit with the Ohlins Piggybacks.

Love your work, keep the content coming!

SW Motech no longer sells these bags. Sad.

I really want this, but my speed twin 1200 is the 2022 model.. any idea if it’ll be compatible??

In the case of an exposed recorder location, such as an image, What do you set the low cut 80hz? 160hz? 240hz?

That's the thing u won't stop thinking about it. I go out in my garage just to stare at mine. It's a 2023 Chrome edition.

I love my Rocket!! Nothing like it!

Yes 👍 I will do the sprocket felt the same on long runs like i was forcing the bike to do a good cruise I feel exactly the same about a shock upgrade on TEC’s at the moment but really want K - Tech same as just can”t justify cost at the moment Tank bag one of the best attachments I’ve bought so handy You explain everything so well welldone 😊

Hello from England. Did you know that the battery on a 900cc (water cooled) triumph is bigger than on our (1200cc) speed twins, seems strange to me but is fact here in the UK anyway. glad you got yours sorted. I am on the same path as you were at the moment I think I will order a new battery, any fresh ideas about a new battery.

Hello from England, did you sort your starting/battery problem? what was the problem in the end? cheers Alan.

Just get a better master cylinder for the front brake . Problem solved .....

Also a pround DS owner! Man living in Vermont with all our dirt roads this bike rips! Ergos on it are perfect for standing. Running some Motoz tractionators Rallz on it for dirt. Plus adjustable front and rear suspension for on and off riding. For all you DS owners best mod is a G2 ergonomics throttle tube and new throttle cam. I think I went with a 600 profile. Just makes the bike so much more responsive, wakes it up. With Ducati discontinuing this bike I don’t think I capsule ever sell it…just a fabulous fun bike!

This bike is hard to explain. So, I won't. It is, however, a keeper. And mine sits next to my easy chair in my living room. Still new and the most beautiful machine I have in my collection.

What mirrors are those

In regard to standing ergonomics, my complaints as a Sled owner are; the upper mounting bolt on the rear shock bothers my inner thigh, and the foot pegs are a little slippery, as stated in the video. The foot pegs should be a little bit longer and have slightly more aggressive teeth (one could sharpen the teeth easily). The shock bolt could be designed to protrude less into my leg's area. I only make contact with the shock bolt while standing up on the pegs, but it does become uncomfortable, after a short time. It fits my needs very well. I'll continue with other comments. I wish it had a little bit more fuel capacity... It would be nice to have about 5-10 more horsepower, for highway riding. (Everyone enjoys more power, and I do like the power delivery, overall. If it had a little bit more on the big end, I would give it 10/10 for the engine.) All of that being considered, I enjoy the bike immensely. The front end is a little heavier than I expected, and it does take an earnest effort to get it into a balanced wheelie position. You'll have to do some clutch work and use body english to get the front end up. It's a smile factory as a rider. It handles like a dirt bike after 10 mph. At low speeds you can feel the weight, but it feels very light at any speed above that. The steering may be too light, if you expect to spend much time cruising on the interstate. It takes almost no effort to change course at highway speeds, so you may feel unstable with crosswinds and passing traffic. It's easy to manage, but it's not "cruiser-stable". The suspension is not perfect, but the adjustable settings make a very noticeable difference, allowing you to get it dialed in closer to your desires. It's not good at taking large bumps. It wants to bulk up a little. Likewise, it seems very soft until you hit a pothole, and then it wants to jar you. Must be something in the high speed compression dampening, and partly due to the limited travel. After all, it is not a motocross bike. It feels confident on gravel roads and poorly maintained back roads, but the big bumps do seem to come as a surprise, initially. I do get many compliments on the looks, coming from people in traffic, at the store, gas station, or a biker bar. Harley guys in Tennessee stare at it for a half hour while they ask questions, and assume that it is fast. It's my favorite bike, so far. I highly recommend it.

Db reducers are gone, did you remove the baffle assembly too?

Riding my 2018 street twin from Amarillo to Denver next week. How bad is NOT having a windscreen? I'm a novice rider so it's my first long trip (6.5 hours)

The farthest I've ridden is 3200 miles in 4 days back in 1979. Rode from Monterey CA, to my parents house in Harpers Ferry WV. Was on a 1978 Suzuki GS 1000. Had my Army duffle bag strapped to the back.

I live near Martinsburg WV, love going down toward Front Royal Va then picking up Rt 33 west and riding those curves. Love your vids.

Great review, thanks.

Nice Video. Does anyone know if the Givi rack fits the updated 1200 twin?. Givi quotes it for 2019-2020, but they are usually very bad at updating their website.

Great video and thanks for demystifying the “Dragon”. 😉

The tiger doesn’t come with cruise control

All the above

Thats a good looking bike

Enjoyed it all. I own TRIUMPH as well. Bonneville T120 Black ACE. Watching from Eastern Pennsylvania. I watch because though they are different characters I can still gain inspiration or ideas onto mine. From one Bonneville to another. Beautiful peaceful vistas. God bless you as you ride mate.

I have a Bonneville 120 that I love. Now your impressively well done story has me shopping for a Speed Twin. Looks great. Well done.

Hello! I got turned on to your channel after discovering your series of TU250x commuting videos. I just got my first bike, a TU, and am slowly learning. I'm glad you're still making videos.

Holy shit, this is amazing. What a ride!

Saying Maccas is an American thing? My US friends used to laugh when they visited Australia and heard that we call it that! I like!

Do you reckon the platform they create is strong enough for a big duffel bag to be tied to?

Damn i got the same exact new model just with Jekyll N Hyde exhaust

Do you feel a lot of weight on your hands with your bike? Or your legs bent a little too much?

You know it was very frustrating the entire time I’m screaming at the screen , LOOK AT THE BATTERY!!!! That was clearly an electrical short. Glad you finally did it

Very good video, as always. I'm wondering, you're using the bike for everything you do. What mileage does it have now and have you had any issues with the bike? Currently riding a Moto Guzzi V7 Racer, which is a superb bike, although lacking some power, so I'm thinking about maybe upgrading to a Speed Twin or Thruxton.

entertaining video. How did you decide between the Speed Twin vs a Bonneville 120? Ride safe

Hey man! Just found your channel. I graduated from AppState (Boone) my little brother goes to UNC Asheville and now I work for the House in DC. lmao. Hearing you mention all three of those places got me excitied. Great video and bike. I have a ninja 400 but will picking up my Triump T120 this winter! Cheers!

Great video, thanks for sharing your first-time moto camping. I'm planning my first one soon. Your creative shots and commentary are amazing. Nice work.

Is that the Triumph dealership in NVA?

Thanks bro I've been looking for a solution like this!

Here in France we do not honk that much ; we rev it and make as much noise as we can. I've been driving small trucks in Paris and it is indeed valuable to do that. You know instantly what you missed (a bike) and so where it has the most chance to be hidden ...

So ... the bike failed and made you fall. The driver that cut you just went away despite seeing you falling ... The pedestrian see the situation but proceed anyway without having a quick look. WTF !? It wasn't bad luck ; something somewhere is trying to kill you ;-)

Good video. Although coming from a road glide limited, this thing is a moped in weight. I just picked up one of these and it's so much easier getting in the garage, taking corners and powering up. Thanks for sharing this review.

Why did you delist and then realist the video

Thanks Mr Blamm, great video, really enjoyed the soundtrack. Love from Scotland.

Ever hear the saying horses for courses🤔you buy/ride it for what it is and you’re riding style is different too the next person. Hopefully you’re comments won’t deter new riders.

Great video 🇨🇦 new sub

I have that helmet, in yellow and the ST1200 is my aim for my next bike. Subscribed.

Freddie Dobbs would have taken the battery out for a night to reset the computer. He’s had his dramas.
