Triumph Speed Triple Rs 2020 - First Ride
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2020
- Here's my first ride review of the Triumph Speed Triple RS 2020 edition. With the forthcoming launch of the new Triumph Speed Triple 1160, I thought it was about time I tried out old faithful and see what all the fuss is about.
So is this the best road bike available?

Such a beautiful bike...oh that's why I ended up buying one in 2018. Still love the bones off it every time I head out on it. Great video Bruce. 👍 Cheers from Melbourne.
I did the same. That's when the colour schemes were great too.
Bruce had my 2016 triple r for 4.5 Yr loved nearly every minute.
Handling fit & finish on this bike brilliant. Had a few excellent trips to Wales on mine. 👍😀🏁
This feels like it’s part of you, even the bit when you stall it. Love it 😊. Good vid. 🙌🏻
The overall quality, fit and finish is outstanding on this bike.
Great vid again. I asked for advice from you on my corsas tyres a couple a months ago on my street triple. Great advice I got. I feel so much more confident with road 5s . Thanks 👍
“Flytippers, Vermin!” Love it! Hope you’re keeping well Bruce. Bike sounds fantastic, I’ll be watching the full review keenly when you return from Wales!
Nice audio quality this time. Great video. I was wanting to not like this as much as Lamb Chops and others. But no, superb job matey!! Quality!!
feels like you are part of the bike, stalls it, classic
Can I give you some constructive feedback? There wasn't really much talk about the bike in the first 10 minutes of this video so I switched off. Just my view of course, but thought it might be useful 🙂
Yes...had my 2014 Bonnie, for about 6 months, I was going to Trade my Kawasaki ninja 1000GX, for a Ducati Super Sport. Changed my mind... traded the Bonnie for a 19' speed triple..!
Nice review Bruce. I rode the 2018 Speed Triple but in the dry. The tyres were excellent but no mater how I rode it, I could not keep the speed down. Whatever mode it was in it just wanted to go! I purposely did not look at the speedo and estimated the speed, it was always going 20+ mph more than I thought but still rock steady! The Arrows sound great but fitting a Remus (low boy) can & removing the rear pegs/hangers looses quite a bit of weight, makes it look even better and the sound is something else! Looking forward to your thoughts after a few days of blatting about on it!
I have the 2016 Speed R and have loved every moment of it. It's in a class of its own, not comparing to the super naked like the SDR or Tuono. I know they are due to bring out a 180bhp version of the speed but I hope they don't ruin the magic of the speed in pursuit of keeping up with the super naked bikes. It's a joy and a gentlemen with a naughty side not a hooligan or monster.
Previously had an older Speed, but now have a Street 765rs both great bikes. Great vlog Cheers Teapot.
One of my dream bikes, great video sir! Enjoy seeing your 'ole bill' training in use! I can hear my job instructor saying, 'get out there and have a look, let's make progress!' 😁👊🇦🇺
Great video, only now do I realise the effort of making these videos after starting to do my own channel. Well done. Enjoy, stay safe!
So glad you told us you enjoyed the ride Bruce lol That sound is pure music to the ears
Reason the speed limits are endless is that legislators have no other answer to falling driving standards. Shame really. Driving training is the real answer. Compulsory retesting every few years and a staggered licence system that allows advanced motorists to observe higher speed limits in derestricted areas, with higher standards for road quality on faster roads.
Anyways, great vid as always bud, I'll have to get one of these in the garage one day. Or maybe the larger capacity one I hear they're working on with 180 odd bhp. 👍
Another good watch 😎☝️🇬🇧🏍 and good honest review of a beautiful bike 😎☝️🇬🇧🏍 and one I’m proud to say was a big part of my working life ,
Hi Bruce. Got a mate with a speedy what a cracking road bike. Great review. Oh went to wales on a ride yesterday found myself saying out loud “Nationals” to myself when passing the white and black signs. Cheers
new subscriber here , and I love my one of these bikes :) .
I recognise some of the roads when you went under the tunnel into "bandit country" , being a local bandit and all that ;)
I guess I wonder what is it like going over the bridge on a bike, going from Bandit country into Kent, I'm yet to do that ! ( only passed my test nearly of 3 years ago, that's my excuse )
I was able to demo one of these today! Placed a reserve on one until January! I liked it better than the Ducati Street fighter V4S.
Awesome, enjoy it bud 👏👍
14:00 onwards .. with headphones on .. 🤤🤤🤤 ...Sensual. Great video as usual Bruce
Great vid Bruce, just love the Triumph triple sound. Had the same tyres fitted on my Aprilia RSV Millie, cracking in the dry and a absolute nightmare in the wet. Reminds me of when we would buy the race tyres at the end of racing ( lived in Northern Ireland so road racing) cut some lines in them, use for a couple of cracking days and then have to go back to a set of road legal tyres. 😁😆🤣
😂👏👍
Have always been a fan of the triple engine, hence why I had a tiger 1050( 2010) then now a tracer 900 abs (2015. I really am itching to get back to a triumph,, possibly back to a newer version of Tiger 1050. I can only say that the speed triple is my dream bike for me. the engine on Triumph triple is nothing like it.
You mention the variable sound quality, but it was excellent, hardly any wind noise. Excellent real world review. I have to ask though, why so many shout outs/credits, I mean, how many people do you know? I've seen fewer credits on an American Oscar winner.
They are people who people who support the channel via Patreon, at a certain tier level you get a shout out in the vids, and mentioned in the end credit roll.
Without these people supporting the channel financially, I couldn’t do this full time - so giving them a mention is the least I can do
14:41 is when the music starts! You say the Superduke R is the better road bike, yes if you’re riding with your headphones at full blast music but this beast sounds much better, you gotta give it that much. Sounds so great!
It does sound great through the power and for sure, but I still prefer the big thumping twin engines personally.
Both fantastic machines, and the Speedy is a joy in the twists 👍
Great video .i love my speed rs i think the speed rs is one of the best naked bikes out there for real world speeds and riding. The handling is amazing. But i think it gets underrated because oh the bhp figure. But i challenge anyone to not have ago on one and get off with a big smile .keep up the good work 👏 👍
Fully agree. I've heard the "148, not 175" while on my 2020 and I call bullshit. Mine wheelies in 3rd off the throttle. I tested the 2019 KTM 1290 SDR and it was awesome but too much. Makes you get carried away. So bought the Speed RS and it more than enough without being too mental.
The speed limits in this country are frustrating, the plus point is I have no problem keeping up with traffic on 90% of the roads I ride on my 125cc.
You just feel part of the machine. Oh stalled lol glad I subscribed.
Like the production quality on this one with the tethered text (whatever it's called, anchored?), it's a lovely addition.
I recently found your channel mate and I wanted to show my admiration for following your passion in life. I have really been enjoying your video and I have subscribed.
I stay in Lewisham, so to get out of London for the twisty roads, I go the Dartford tunnel way, then through Aveley to hit them. Great to see them in the vid.
Great review. Just picked up 2014 model. Loads of power. Great fun.
Awesome, enjoy it Matt 👍
Hey I am now officially an old guy these days never owned a Triumph but fast becoming a convert . Good initial look can not wait for the next look 👀 good one. : )
Thanks Malcolm 👍
Really missed your good looks Bruce great video love the triple engine 👍
That intro was magnificent bud! I can see myself on one of those at some point, I dunno would it beat out an MT10 for me though.
Certainly does on looks.
I agree Teapot my 2020 SDR is by far the best road going bike I have ever had. Been on most of the other nakeds and nothing comes close👍🏻
Loved the introduction video zoom in on controls and features nice touch nice stall we've all done that good to see an normal rider's assessment of what seems a top bike sounds great to Cheers Johnny Gadget Melbourne Australia
Loved the intro. Get the stats out of the way, have a good look at the bike then see what she's like on the road.
"Bandit Country" pmsl.... What a bike, looks so much fun, great vid TeaPot...!
As to the GoPro audio. People talk about switching it on with the mike in and then you cannot do the start stop thing as it would loose the outside mike connection. The noisy audio is most probably due to adapters and other faffery. If you can do eliminate as much adapters as possible and soldier on a plug that does the job directly. A trip to an electronics shop and explaining your problem should sort you out. You might find someone more electronics inclined to do the job for you if you’re not that inclined.
nice camera work and editing in the beginning. Cool to see your videos getting better and better. started watching your channel because of the ktm super adventure review. Enjoying everything else too. Keep up the great work!
nice with the stats at the begining. Did something similar with the gen 1290r but yours is better :)
Great bike with an awesome soundtrack with headphones on! Going to have to take one out for a test ride soon.....
Love the new drop-in and roll-out intro!
I feel your pain with the audio thing. I lost 5 days of my life trying to get get the audio to work on the DJI Osmo. Its now back in Amazons hands. So much goes into it people don't see. Hop your getting better after your hospital trip.
Thanks bud 👍🙏
i rode one on a Triumph day and was convinced it will be my next bike. Going to wait for the new one though and have a go on that as well.
I really like the Speed triple and its looks. Great video Bruce , hope you had a good time in Wales.
Hey Bruce, it would be nice if you could get the guys (DV, TMF, LCR...) together, each with their fave bike in (whatever) catagory and then swap around.... do a sum up... great vid, like the enthusasm you give.
I liked it a lot when I test rode one in 2018. The colour scheme back then was so much better than now. I nearly bought one, but wouldn't buy one now. As nice as the RS is to ride, it's been a bit left behind on the power front.
Another great video. I've got a 2019 RS. 8 1/2 thousand miles in and I'm still loving it. I hear you when you say about the 20 40 and 50 speed limits a friend of mine and myself ride together all the time, and we were discussing this ,it seems as though almost overnight half the 60 mile an hour speed limits have been reduced to 50 or 40 I think they are doing it in secret.
I hear various reasons put forward as to why speed limits have reduced.
Council's cite 'safety reasons' but rarely supply evidence of accident The paranoid suggest its 'to top up the numbers of speeders caught by the safety camera nazis'.
But the most convincing reason in my mind was a comment that councils have worked out that this extends the life of the road surface and results in fewer repairs.
Thus saving money.
And that, in my opinion, is why.
Just follow the money.
The Speed despite looking down on power compared to the latest super nakeds, has a wall of torque available throughout the rev range so feels quicker imo than the numbers suggest. Build quality is lovely as well but I don't like the 2020 colours.
Cheers Bruce
I miss blazin orange or roulette green🔥🤙
I have the same Bike and color, I just put on heated grips and they integrate with the TFT as if the were stock. They work great
A very nicely put together bike by the looks of it Bruce! Lovely. I do agree with you on the price and lack of heated grips though! Especially in the UK. Seems a bit cheap to exclude them at 13k. I've never been a fan of the twin headlight shapes (preferred the two round lights but if they work...) It does look like a bike I could live with though as an only bike but I still think at my age the new Tiger 900 is probably my favourite. Great vid, can't wait for the in depth review!
Great review again Bruce what a fantastic bike Dolores a naked. Sadly it’s a bit too small for me now and probably too quick too. My legs don’t.bend like they used to do and I’ve got a bit of weight on now I’m retired. Must say I enjoy you vlogs mate and pls keep them coming looking forward to you next one
what a bike! it is a pity that front lamp is not having full led. BTW: are theyu not goingf to present soon completly new 2021 version ?
Yes bud, there’s a new model coming soon
Nice review. Toying with part ex on one of these using my Z100SX which is PCP. Prob take up a similar deal, as u say its not a cheap bike. But looks fantastic. I need a test ride. More fun than the z1000?
I’ve not actually ridden the Z1000 yet bud
That motorcycle sounds fantastic! Great video!
Great video Bruce! What a engine note.
ooooo .... yup ... that sounds and looks awesome... got a lovely top note ... and the "cute angry bug eye" lights appeal too .. looks like fun 😄
Great video fantastic bike shame about the weather stay safe looking forward to next one 🇬🇧👍🏻
I have the lesser 2020 “S” model and it’s a great bike. Probably a bit too sporty for my needs but would recommend trying one if your in the market for a fast naked. Mine’s got the same tyres and I ridden in some appalling weather without issue, you just need to be mindful as with any bike.
I remember when I bought my R1 and it had supercorsas on it... Absolutely terrifiying in the rain lol
My old man had slicks basically on his tuono and if it was a bit chilly or slightly damp they were shit scary lol he'd barely get over 3k rpm.
At 5.10 - You just feel part of this machine, then you stall it! Funny, but a good vid as well.
Looks like the south east sucks for riding bikes. Just too crowded. We seem to be heading further north each time to miss the crowds.
Triumph looks great.
Cracking review can’t wait for the next
Cheers Chris, great to hear you enjoyed it 👍
I'm looking for a new bike and this is on my test ride list..
This or tuono v4 factory?
Good first look video Bruce.
The bike is great on smooth roads but I find the suspension too stiff on B roads. Wants to stand up but I put this down to not being 18 stone cause 2 up its better!
It has the face, only a mother could love
Can I ask where in Wales you are going? nice looking bike, I just picked up my new F850GSA which I love keep up the good work!!
I want one! I am a little Triumph biased but still. Looks like a whole loada fun that and good looking bike too 👌
Great review as always teapotone but please stop going on about the limits and 'nationals' and just ride man ✌
Superb initial overview. Yup the GoPro cameras have got flakey audio, the Hero 7 is better than the Hero 8 that one drives me crazy, I have 2 audio adapters one is more reliable than the other!! Shame as the GoPro footage is awesome.
Beautiful bike, but I can not help feeling that this design with two big cans under the seat is getting a bit old now, would like to see a design update. Will look forward to more rides of this bike in the coming weeks.
Ps. on the design of bikes! have you tested the Honda CB1000R Plus ? the design is more "mature" and it is suppose to suit taller riders, would love to hear your take on it.
Loving the intro.....👍👍
Great review, I test rode one in 2019 and compared to my 16S the pegs were noticeably higher but I could acclimatise to it.
The RS in road mode felt like my S in Sport mode but quicker and more responsive everywhere.
The matt black paint looked dull next to mine and the current green highlights look tacky (the white/black red highlights is slightly better) and I had real problems getting the bike to read the keyless key.
Its a really comfortable and responsive ride and I was tempted but for the price to upgrade!
Its better but not streets away from my S, Triumphs problem is shifting these when everyone knows there's a new model around the corner which, with the bigger engine, should be the step change we're waiting for.
And if they bin the keyless and improve the colour palette (ahem and rumours of quickshifter problems) then what's not to like. Could it be better than an SDR that has an appalling list of faults including (similar rumours of) front brakes slamming on 👍
I always think the speed and street triple remind me of bumblebee from the transformers and the Yamaha mt10 remind me of the decepticons
Street twin looks nothing like bumblebee hmm
But i love ur analogy, i own a street triple myself and had almost gotten an mt09 instead
Meant to say triple edited it now
Does sound really nice enjoyed the vid , liked your views on tyres , dont if you have done any tyre reviews but would value your opinion.
Looks like first accessory you'd need to buy would be a front fender extender ;-)
Nah, It's a semi super naked.
13k plus for a rusty exhaust headers
G'day From W.A. Perth Western Australia....,I've loved the Speedy since me Dad owned A Cracker single headlight , My missus used to say I riding to much .....I replied You whinging too much " Nek Minut she left ....YOU BEAUTY !!! Straya Peeps ✌️✌️✌️adam
See ya in a bit 🏍💥💥⚡️⚡️💨💨
When I test rode a 2019 RS I have to say that I found the engine quite featureless, as if to get it to develop nearly 150hp the gruff, brutish character of the old speed triple was lost... the engine should have gone up to around 1200cc a couple of years ago I reckon, if Triumph wanted to play with the big boys. And I definately didn't like the fact that it couldn't pull low revs in higher gears. But as you are finding out, the chassis and suspension really is top notch 👍
Should have been made into a 1400 IMHO
I found totally the opposite. The engine is a peach much more free reving and smoother than previous engine which is so agricultural in comparison.
Well said, sad innit, that the best S3's were the 120 bhp 955i's and early 1050's. Grunt, soul, and character in abundance.
@@alexmorgan3435 wot, like a Honda then....
@@michaelhayward7572 Like a Honda who don't do triples. LoL
I think it’s a better looking than the duke and sounds great have fun
Beautiful bike.
Bruce the councils have worked out that if you drop the speed limits the roads don’t need to be maintained to the same standard. We get more bad tarmac pit holes they save money
# nice video and nice editing, Helpful review. , drive daily to work in the city and also the highway( Commuting) and sometimes during a weekend round of recreational so, Is this bike good enough and usually commuting friendly? don't like Adventure such an engine, love Naked bike & sport tour bike so what is your opinion? Speed triple or Street.....
Any way great video
Be safe
Hi Petroos,
The Street is a great wee bike and more than capable enough as a road bike, it’s just too small for me at 6’3” and 20 stone, so the bigger Speed is better for me.
I’d happily commute on either one
I've got pirelli angel gts on my speed rs plenty of grip on those tyres in the wet
Good vid fella, I have the last R model and love it. Which Ultimate add ons mount do you have on? Want to purchase as looks perfect position. Cheers
Love the channel mate. Have you had a ride of the mt09 I’m looking at getting the speed or a mt09. I have my own channel here in Sydney Australia. Keep it up mate I just hit the sub
Thanks bud, welcome to the channel.
No I’ve not ridden the Mt09 yet bud 👍
@@teapotone how’s the power on the speed to other 1000cc bikes you have ridden?
Phenomenal. It’s a very well mannered engine, smooth and understated - yet twist the throttle and there is SO much power and drive available.
I genuinely loved this bike - it would be between this and the new Super Duke R for my ultimate road bike.
I think the Superduke would win for me purely because of the hooligan reputation and it’s mental big twin engine
Got talking to a guy on one of theses, amazing lookin bike, he had his in white
New one coming out soon though!
Aye, 186bhp or there abouts! Can’t wait to give that a go 😉👍
Just traded my 2020 speed triple rs after a test ride on the rocket 3r, the rocket just rides like a big speed rs
Bruce, why dont you use a GoPro Hero 4 black for your Helmet Cam? You can just plug a decent Mic into it and will still record at 1080P 60fps. Dont have to worry about
the stupid Gopro mic adapter.
One thing that would pea me off with the bike is everytime I got home I would have to clean the 2 radiators as it looks like they are a crap magnet from the front wheel
I really must give one of these a go. Damn you and your ‘nationals!’...I was in Germany last week saying that on the autobahn. Funnily enough, didn’t exceed the speed limit in the unrestricted sections. 🤔
Looks to be a load of fun. What was occurring in Peterborough? I live there so I know it isn’t good biking roads 😱
Looks fast. Nice components.
We have the same problem with speed limits in Oz but all in kilometres. Where yours ar 40MPH ours would be 40 KPH
