Great comparison! I recently purchased the Speed Triple and absolutely love it. I'll never do track days so I really didn't need something like the Ducati. Yes, the power is mostly at the top of the RPM range, but on back road twisties the mid range is more than strong enough to blast out of corners. The Ducati would also be fun on these roads but it'd also be very hard to control, and be way overkill for that purpose.
I'd like to add, no one keeps these bikes stock. And from that perspective, the ducati has a HUGE aftermarket scene. Whether it's ecu maps, exhausts, accessories, the triumph is severely limited with very few personalisation options. For someone spending so much cash, that could get a bit frustrating. I am VERY curious to see which of these 2 handles traffic heat better.
Why do reviewers keep doing the V4s against the speed triple RS....surely the V4 with the same NON electronic sus is the right comparison to have done here?
😅. Okay, I get your point, but that's getting a little too much into the spec sheet. It's not just trail & rake, there's tyres, suspension setup, wheelbase, and the works. Personally, I also thought the Speed's taller & wider handlebar gives more leverage, so it feels easier to flick side-to-side. But more importantly, bikes don't turn on paper, and Simran is just giving a general feedback here. Anyway, both the bikes have very similar steering geometry, so saying it's just down to rake and trail won't be fair. We'd probably need a separate video explaining all that stuff. Hope this helps. 🙂
Surely by picking a circuit that suits the Triumph you are effectively making the whole exercise rather pointless? The whole point of tracks is to see who can get around fasted and if you are effectively handicapping one of the horses the result will not be a true reflection of what they are capable of.
It's awesome being in the company of two mad Monsters

A fair and a true assessment of these bikes

The result is that : Triumph Speed triple is way better than Ducati Street fighter in each and every aspect

because ST will spoke on the track
The two dream bikes of me 😘😗😗😗🥰
Where is Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory and BMW S1000R ?
We tried, but press bikes of those two weren't available, sadly.
The Big Speed isn't that far off. 🚀🚀🚀
It wasn't, and that was quite surprising!
@@autoX love my new Speed great bike for the money.
@@zxgeorger agree at 200% ;) . 5000 kms in it and still love it like the first day :D .
@@filipejesus191 thought it was a little dull until I fitted the Racefit exhaust, now it's amazing.
Nice review!
Great review!
Thanks!
Really good review of these 2 bikes, thanks!
Speedie for me, it’s the perfect bike for me.
I am sorry AutoX & Shivank but the bike flicks better because of Ohlins suspension? Trail and Rake be like to fir main job chhod du? 😝

I think weight (or lack of) plays a huge part for the Speed Triple
🤙🤙🤙
Brakes are same on both bikes, how come Triumph performs better?
Triumph 😍
Omg how ugly is that front licence plate on the speed triple..
And now the Road focused version of SF is released The SF V2 That will be big pressure on the road .... for the Triple
