Is this a naked bike of choice? Definitely feature packed for the price!
I've had the 955cc Speed Triple for 18 years. Still looks great, goes like a train, handles well and is very reliable. Had no major issues since I bought it. I do 300 mile + day runs on the twisty roads of Scotland regularly and it's pretty comfortable. I have no problem in keeping up with any of the other guys on their sports bikes. Pretty sure the 1050 R will be absolutely spectacular to ride.
Ali Whitwell Naked bikes can definitely hang with the sport bikes! The bonus with them is the down low torque and comfortable seating position!
This channel will blow up at some point. I've watch many TH-camrs as their channels explained and can tell you will be one of those channels.
ride fast don't die! Hey thank you! It means a lot! It’s all about being patient and it will come in due time. Just gotta keep trying to put out good content for you guys! 😊
I agree with him ! You know I keep changing up but I have a lot to learn. I think I get my views off popularity lol
The voice behind the helmet It will come with time!
@@itsmeericb Fair enough, I don't even have enough of that these days. Your thumbnails are also awesome !!!
The voice behind the helmet Thanks!
Nice review for a really good bike overall.
You got youself a new subscriber!
This channel is so under rated..keep it up and ride safe.
pswrd jdm Thank you! I appreciate it!
I really appreciate how you just kept up the convo while automatically avoiding that long line of grass clippings! Nice riding! I can tell you have some time under your belt
Thanks! 👍 Yeah I like to interact with my viewers although it can be hard at times when comments flow in and you start missing them.
Great video. I love my Speed Triple 1050 S, it isn't the same spec as the RS but still an awesome bike, especially now I've changed the end cans!
I had a 2011 Speed Triple, great bike. Sold it to a buddy in Long Beach. Bought the 2022 1200RR and it's amazing! I'm just outside of Tucson. It's pretty "warm" now😅
Very fun bike for sure!
Sweet Review man. Your videos are good quality. Clear sound nice pictures good review! I'm working on starting my youtube channel and this is inspiring! Keep up the good content!
Kevinco Z Thanks man! Work on your setup and think about what type of content you want to put out. The rest will come in time.
@@itsmeericb Thanks for the response and the advices man you got my sub!
Kevinco Z No worries and thank you!
The exhaust is not free-flowing. At least not in the US. There's restrictors welded into the twin exhausts. You have to either cut them out, or just swap to a low mount can. Doing the latter cuts almost 20 lbs off the weight too.
Ahh okay gotcha 👍
Omg how much that windscreen changes the look 10/10 and functional
Are you...are you serious?
@@Fee.1 hell yea! I always had an issue with the front end and that windscreen made it so much better for me
Finally got my test booked in the next 2 weeks, rode my first sv650 today and I have to say it was awesome. Naked bikes are growing on me too and that triumph is a beautiful machine 👍.
Cold Jay That’s awesome! Yes it’s a very nice machine!
Idk if you know, but you can leave the ignition switch on. Only time you should turn it off would be if your doing any kind of electrical maintenance on it.
Jorge hernandez Was not tracking that but thanks! It’s my friend’s bike and I only had it for a few hours.
The Triumph Speed is a great bike 💯 my bro in law has a 2016 Triple R looks and sounds 🔥
I didn't realize I wasn't subscribed. Sorry bro
HFR83 It’s all good! 😄
Adam Stratford Yes, I did think this bike would be as good as something like the MT-09 or MT-10. Was I wrong! It’s a beast!
I'm a proud owner of an 18 model which is exactly the same apart from the colour scheme which is better on the 18 in my opinion. Still a stunning bike and best I've ever ridden. 👍
Great video fantastic bike stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻
How is it compared 2 the z900?? That’s the highest cc bike I’ve rode, it was a great bike
Christopher Wigfall I have not been on a Z900 yet, but I would say it’s got more features and has a little more pep.
I came off of a Z900 and got the Speed RS. The Z900 is one of the best bikes you can get for the price, but every single part of the Speed is at least a step above the Z900.
Great Review! I Havent Tried The Speed Triple... Ive Been On The FZ09 Which Seems Similar To It.. Touchy Down Low Feels Nice On The Nakeds.
IxAM HUNTER yeah the speed triple RS is faster. They’re all torque monsters!
The fz09 ITS not similar, fz09 feels like a mx riding postion, very soft supension, looks ugly and small, and 40 hp less🤪
How do you rate it vs the MT10?
Considering one or the other for next bike, both 2018.
The MT-10 is a beast! The Triumph is going to feel more refined and have more features/options.
I really want a second bike but I'm torn between one of these or a 1000cc super bike......need more money lol. This bike is so cool and unique to me
HFR83 Same here! Haha! It’s always a tough decision with bikes!
I would definitely have a look at what insurance is going to cost you on a liter super sport.
@@johnweiland9076 Thanks for the advice. Would age help at all? If it's gonna be an arm and a leg, I'd just go with a 750 or z900
@@hfr8343 Age is a huge part of it, as well as if you've completed any safety courses in the past 3/5 years. I picked one of these up 3 days ago over an RSV4. Insurance was absolutely soul-crushing for the Aprilia (2400 a year). Call me biased, but if you get your hands on the triple RS at a good price, you won't regret it!
@@johnweiland9076 I took the MSF course like 6 years ago. I'm 37. Congrats on your purchase, the speed triple is beautiful. There's one in Pittsburgh I've been eying up lol.
I’m curious if it is hard to keep the front wheel down in 5th and 6th gear at higher RPMs? Will I have to worry every time I throttle up to pass a truck on the highway that I’ll accidentally wheelie?
mcluhanmedia1223 Oh no you will be fine. That’s only in the lower gears like 1st or 2nd. I never had any issues punching it in a higher gear.
Still no LED headlights?
Love your vids!!
Keep it up
?? Thanks!
ItsMeEricB Would love to ride with you some day. Just a small problem. I live in sweden🙄
?? Haha, yeah I guess that is a problem. I would love to visit there one day. There is some amazing landscape there!
ItsMeEricB It is a really nice landscape. I drove over 310 miles yesterday with my friend. It was really nice!
What’s the little “on / ignition” switch about ? Don’t have that in the UK ? Is that a US specific requirement?
Triumph OnTour That I am not sure of. The person who let me borrow the bike said that was how I had to turn it on. 🤷♂️
ItsMeEricB thought it was strange. I have an RS and love it, but it has some floors, had a recall on the quick shifter which for my bike came too late as the fault caused the gearbox to explode and the whole engine needed to be rebuilt (under Warentee luckily) and now, just last month there was a new factory recall on the brake pads.
Triumph OnTour Oh wow! That’s crazy! Is this normal for Triumphs?
ItsMeEricB not massively, it’s my second Triumph and the reason I love the brand is that they have possibly the best build quality and finishing of any manufacturer. They really are a premium bike, but their customer service is lacking a little - I had the issue with the quick shifter for a year where it would find a false neutral going up from 4th to 5th almost every time and if you’re giving it the beans, it’s really dangerous. They checked it over about 5 times telling me there was nothing wrong with it, but after a little while longer the same issue kept popping up on forums for the Speed RS - then my gearbox goes bang litterally 2 days before I got my product recall through the post ! Due to lock down in the U.K., they had my bike for almost 8 weeks while they carried out the rebuild (with no option of a courtesy bike for the inconvenience). It seems to be fine now but was disheartened to get another factory recall letter again just last month (for the brake pads this time) so am hoping this is the last one !! The only other frustrating thing is that Triumph have been boasting about their Blu-tooth connectivity package for over a year now and it still isn’t available as an upgrade for the Speed RS which is crap as it has been made available for cheaper and less advanced bikes in their range
ItsMeEricB love the channel by the way - great reviews !
What's the advantage of keyless ignition?
specialized500 You dint have to fumble around taking a key out of your pocket. Just get on and go.
I just got one of these . It's a wonderful bike, apart from keyless ignition.
I've got used to the keyless ignition, but it is a bit pointless.
You still need the key for the petrol/gas filler cap and to get under the seat. You have to press a button to engage the electric steering lock.
You could potentially drop the key on the floor at the petrol/gas station, the bike would still run and you could ride off without the key. Then if you stopped the engine you wouldn't be able to restart it. If there was an option to NOT have keyless ignition, I would have taken it. So you need to keep checking, at say petrol / gas stations, that the key is in your pocket. A bike with an ignition switch, well you can see it in front of you !
However the keyless ignition is a minor niggle. There are other things Triumph could have included as standard that would be more useful. i.e. heated grips !
The only other niggle I have is the petrol/gas tank could be a bit larger , it is 15.5 litres / 4.1 US Gallons / 3.4 UK Gallons. It does about 52 Miles per UK Gallon ( 43 Miles Per US Gallon ), so the range of the tank to empty is about 175 miles. Thus usable range between fill ups is about 150 miles.
The rest of the bike is wonderful, has way more power than I need, handles really well, is pretty comfortable to ride, and I love the sound of the triple engine coming from the Arrow end cans.
KarlosH Great inputs! I’m glad you are loving the bike! It does have a lot of power!
What’s it like to the MT09 power wise?
It’s been a while since I have ridden them but it’s close. The MT-09 is more of an animal and snatchy. The Speed is more refined but can get wild once you open it up.
Thanks mate yeah I was looking at both bikes
@@Brookmanrider Yeah that’s a tough choice. If you want an all out hooligan bike I’d get the MT-09. If you want a classier bike with more features go with the Speed Triple. Don’t get me wrong, the Speed is still a fun and fast bike. Try to go sit on and possibly ride both.
Speed triple 1050rs are aloot faster And more sporty, stiffer✊🔥🔥
I test rode one of these. It's very good. I want one !
KarlosH Yessss! They are amazing! Just the headlight though...
@@itsmeericb Yeah, not my favourite headlight. Could be a bit better. I prefer the headlight Honda have on the current CB1000R, but I prefer the engine on the Speed Triple (low down torque).
I wanted one so much, I got one !
KarlosH Oh wow really? How are you liking it?
I’m f**** ever since my Tuono I can’t love another bike just for the sound alone, so many better looking bikes but when I hear the exhaust note .... oh God, give me back my Tuono and I mean that with after market exhaust
Yes I am loving my MT-10 and the sound is amazing. I know for a fact the Aprilia exhaust note is music to the ears!
@@itsmeericb haha thanks for the reply brother im actually watching “nothing to prove “ on the 2020 Tuono rr atm but f**** good job on the video God bless keep them coming. Oh and yea Merry Christmas you filthy animal ..... and a happy new year hahaha respectively and please be safe and wishing you all the best to you and your family.
@@itsmeericb f*** now I have to
Subscribe lol you got me
@@dariot707 Haha! Thanks!
@@dariot707 Haha! Thanks man!
Fellow surveyors, we found a blue station, gimme the coordinates
I found a 2020 Triumph street triple 765 rs For the less than $10,000 and it has 1200 miles on it I never driven a bike always wanted to and I’m very pressed to buy this bike Guys help me out and convince me not to buy the bike,jk
I really think I’m going to buy the spice soon
Oh man I’d definitely get the 765 RS! 👍
Speed triple and Street Triple are so sexy from forks back to end of bike.. but that hesdlight is hideous as fuck and unfortunately its a main reason why people dont like these bikes.. But the engine and power on these triples are Amazing!!! Great bike.. swap out headlights i guess Lol
You are completely right, if the headlight wasn’t so ugly I think it would be an amazing bike look wise. I love the way that the bike performs and rides but I just hate the front end.
Love the video mate. Definitely my next bike. Love the channel. I’m trying to do the same with my channel. 👌👌🙏
Brookman Rider Thanks!
This or MT10?
Samby F That’s a tough one! They are both so good! If you want features and a more premium bike I’d say get this. If you want more power and a cheaper price, get the MT-10.
@@itsmeericb Speed Triple make more hp and torque stock.
Oddjob6120 You pointed out some good points but I can’t stand the headlight on the front. I think that has turned some people away as well just due to the looks. Some could say the same for the MT-10, but I love the way it looks. I have been on both Speed and MT and the MT hits so much harder down low. It’s an animal and the Triumph feels smother and not refined.
@Oddjob6120 MT10 makes about 132hp to the wheel while the Speed makes 138hp.
@Oddjob6120 Yeah, I wish there were more real world comparisons of bikes. I feel like these days, spec sheets are so misleading you really have no idea what you're getting until you've ridden each bike.
this bike is not underrated. its bloody overpriced and kinda outdated by its rivals . for the price of this you can get a Tuono V4 1100 RR . and theres no comparison which one is better
BAZITUBE well that depends on how you judge a bike to be better
I reckon the Triumph is more comfortable and in Oz we have better back up than with Aprilia
The Tuono has more power and speed but we cant use that much in my police state.
Both great bikes. Had a 999 Tuono and like the Triumph better.
BAZITUBE I think it’s underrated because it seems to be left out compared to all of the other naked bikes. $16,500 seems pretty cheap for all of the option you get from the factory compared to something like the MT-10 which doesn’t have the same options. I just wish they would update the headlight on the Triumph.
@@VISATcomms i understand what you're saying. I live in melbourne myself and even my LAMS monster 659 can easily get me into trouble and police here don't fuck around with fines too . Fast bikes are kind of irrelevant here
The only thing the Tuono has over the Speed is power and the Speed makes more power than the Tuono until 7k rpm. The power delivery of the Speed is also way better than the Tuono for every day riding. Riding the Tuono on normal roads is a chore because of how boggy and rattly it is at lower rpms. The base Speed is also $1,200 less than the base Tuono, so you're getting more performance in the rpm you'd be riding in on the street, for less.
I'd take my Speed RS over a Tuono anyday mate. Cheers from a fellow Melbourne rider.
Great video fantastic bike stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻
Thank you!
