Really love the double circular headlights, best looking speed triple if you ask me
I’m on my third of this year 🏆
Why already 3?
@@Krezo200 They keep getting stolen (London Life 😩)
@@RyRch oh damn, thats disgusting
my dad has this bike with just over 100k miles, this bike is very reliable!
Good to know!
Damn I’m about to pick one up then
@@driftslutt2166 you won't regret it
They use this engine in the tiger which is their tourer....it’s bulletproof.
I totally agree there very reliable up there with the best of motorcycles top marks
"streetfighter" was a term that was used in the 80s to describe the urban customising of sportbike based projects in the UK - this was a time when the manufacturers had not started making "naked" sport bikes , basically the "cafe racers" of the 80s - the bug eye look of speed triple is a nod back to the early days of the urban streetfighters which used the twin headlight look a lot.
I put clipons and rearsets on a norton chop in the 70s, local chop shop owner laughed at me, then came street fighters and he got were I was heading.
I fell in love with the speed triple back from the Mission Impossible movie. It is the o.g. of hooligan bikes.
Same! Am on my 2nd 06. Couldn't think of a bike I'd like better!
Yeah, twisted between that and the KTM 950 Motard
I have wanted one since 2007
@@dirkdiggler7727 try a kawi zx 14r. You won't look back
@@christopheralonge7758 cant think of a more apples to oranges comparison than a hyper tourer and a naked street fighter
Very happy owner of a 2007 Speed Triple. I actually have the same mirrors on my bike (just mounted with the mirrors above the bars rather than below as on this bike) and they work really well, believe it or not. Really enjoy your channel and always love the words of wisdom. Thanks for the great video showcasing a great bike.
Love the Triumphs man...I've had a Street Triple from brand new and she still puts a smile on my face 😁😁😁😁✌🏍
How much did you get yours
@@nwatusamuel1134 I just bought a 2013 model 3300 miles, £6200
I have one too and it's the best bike I've ever owned!
Love your test rides! I used to be just a cruiser type guy and didn’t realize how much I didn’t know about other bikes until I started watching your videos. Thank you!
This CLASS of bikes are UFO comparable. A little scary for mid 50’s dude like me. I appreciate the discussion of faith on your channel. Have you ever noticed that with faith comes *Optimism* ? With Optimism comes happiness, with happiness comes success. Cheers!
doesnt mean its true though
That's the part of church I like. The part that teaches you stuff like that
@@carlosandleon
What was said that isn't true?
Are you aware of what 'faith' means?
I had this monster. It was like a 60s muscle car. The sound of the triple was addicting.
I had a 2009, was great fun but I now have a street triple and its even more fun, under 400lbs with the arrow exhausts and sounds incredible.
I live in London UK 🇬🇧 🏴 these bikes are well made , fast, reliable, and as you lot say " kick ass" 🤪 , keep up the good work
Mate it's British quality, what less do you expect?
Mario Dragoi MG :)
Except for the electrics :) Don't hate - I have one.
Of course a Brit would say that... 🙄 Mate, British products are just a laughing stock in Europe these days.
@@TheUrbanEpicure
Why is that?
Miss my speed triple... wow! It makes you grin!... gotta be one of my favourite bikes I ever owned.. had a lot of bikes over the last 40 years!
Here in the U.K. we have speed cameras everywhere.. unmarked police cars with radar and cameras.... national speed limit is 70mph..
You can have a lot of fun on this bike below 70.. the wind blast on the motorway? (Freeway) kind of limits you to below 90 anyway!
3 cylinders just own this type of motorcycle.. more grunt than a twin... lower revving than a four!
Just get a test ride on one... you won’t be disappointed....
Had to stop riding after getting hit from behind by a nut job in a car... I was in a wheelchair for months! And off work for an age...
Hey! I am blessed! Still here and got all my “bits” tho some don’t work like they used too!
Ride free brothers and sisters!
sad to hear that mate, hope you are better now. hope on day ride that beast here in Brazil
Blessings brother. Sorry for your pains.
Mine is now 12 years old. Bought it brand new, orange color - still love it , still runs steady and still leaves a smile on my face with all those pops and bangs of the Arrow low boy full exhaust
Nice. I love my Blazing Orange '08. SC Project 3-1 on mine.
this bike is so damn beautiful - fell in love with it first time when I watched MI2 many years ago. Will hopefully buy a newer version in the next years :) but have to change the headlights(want the round ones)
Yes, that’s exactly what I thought about the headlights. Love the bike, but not the headlights.
Super cool video, bro! I have been a Triumph rider and lover for many years (my first one was a Sprint RS 955i, then a Speed Four, now I own 2 Tiger 800 (2011 and 2016). And mentioning 1 Corinthians 13 is obviously a big plus -- takes quite some courage to do that nowadays. Thumbs up from a fellow believer, bro!
That whole first line is why i love sean and this channel 😂😂😂 dude has such a good sense of humor on top of his great bike knowledge
Love the naked bikes. Had a 2008 Z1000 and it was the best fun I've had on a bike easily.
Upgraded a few things including the tires and it became lethal in canyons.
Nice video.
What did go for afte z1000 and what now if it's not still the same?
had the same exact bike. beatiful motorcycle, constant compliments, and fun and easy to ride.
Yep, superb reliability, low cost of ownership, never gets boring, and it gets more attention than the Ducatis.
great video mate, love this bike, do you think that is really hard to ride without abs and traction control? thx so much!
In my opinion the very best Triple that the "new modern" Triumph made was the Thunderbird 900 Sport back in the late 90's to early 2000's. A great all around motorcycle.
I had a 2007 (as my 4th bike) but had to sell it when I decided to move and enroll in grad school. Ended up buying a 2005 to replace it ~10 years later when I finally had a garage again. Easily the favorite bike I've owned...never fails to make me smile.
Bought a used Street Triple R for a great price - came with some added touches and a single headlight vs dual. Specs are not as “powerful” as the Speed Triple but it fits me fine as a beginner with plenty HP/torque I’ll ever need. Looked at other naked bikes but my eyes kept coming back to the Triumph.
A few years back I had a 2005 Speed Triple, imo the best looking model year of them all. It had numerous electrical and mechanical problems but when it did start it was a fantastic bike. Had to get rid when the head gasket blew but I'll definately get one again. It was that good.
What you have now? :-)
great review! absolutely loved my 2008 speed triple with rizoma and evotech accessories. handsome beast of a bike.
One of my favorite bikes. Love that 1050.
Love your enthusiasm, man. Great, great bike.
Love the bike and the view! Thanks for sharing! Ride safe :)
Man i love your videos and you come across as a really honest dealer which is a comfort in this day and age. I love the trumpets, i got to coming from the UK, it's one of the things that we could be proud of here and I've had street and speed triples but my all time favourite is the old oil cooled Suzuki 1200 bandit, i love em, those and old Kawasaki zx9r's. I must be a sucker for old carb motors 👍👍👍
Love how you do a daily verse, sometimes that’s what people need.
I have the 2005 model . Try the mirrors placed on the correct way around [ above the bars ] . The rides cool , and looks cool . You have to try it on the lanes to love it .... Great vid ...thanks for sharing
Best wishes all from the U.K. .
Glad to see the S3 test ride...I ride a 2003 remapped 955i (130hp) s-triple at age 69...its a blast.
Dang hope I can still ride when I am 69 :-)
Was my first bike after not riding 13 years at all. Love this and already have my second speedy :D
I own one of these, whoever buys this bike is gonna have a great time 👌👌
Thays so good the hear 👍.
Got one 1050cc it's a beast..... love every minute riding it..🤘
Ever thought of doing a video showing us how you learned to wheelie?
I ride my 2011 speed triple all year round. Love it.
Ive got the 2019 version of this bike. 148 bhp. 437 pounds. Awesomeness
What made you go with the speed versus the street. I love the street, I can't c any reason to need more power on the street. But kudos on your purchase, Ride safe.
@@justinhogan7248 Just loved the grunt of the Speedy. Test rode both on the same day. The Speed spoke to me.
@@volatilegraphix That's what matters, The speed is a pretty machine now, I never liked the styling an the old one but the new one is sexy! Ride safe I am on my way to pick up my 2019 z 400. The street is my dream bike, But I am just coming off a liver transplant surgery so this made more sense as a first step.
@@justinhogan7248 hope your recovery goes well. Stay safe and have fun
@@volatilegraphix Thanks a lot, I'm doing great put 100 miles on my new bike last night.
This was my 3rd bike. I still have my second bike as well but I've always wanted a Triumph triple and found a great deal on one and pulled the trigger on it.
ncbphantom what were your first two bikes?
I have the 2020 Street Triple R with the moto2 765 engine, I wanted a GSXR600 really bad but insurance here in ontario is like 400 a month so I bought the street triple. I'm really glad I did because its super comfortable, sounds absolutely amazing like I mean the 765 inline triple is just so fantastic, its super smooth and the quick shifter is loads of fun. I will eventually get a second bike and will probably get a super sport cause I've always wanted one but I'm glad I got the street triple for long rides and going to work.
The speed triple is simply put, a hooligan tool .
Really difficult to ride sensibly, but that’s why they made it 😉😎
The 2010 speedie was the pinnacle of the type, loved mine, when they changed the headlights from the round ones I felt physically sick.
I have a 2015 speedie, it's a great bike but I whish it had the round lights.
Agree I got the 20009 will never sell it
That opening line was amazing!
I knew you'd love it. Haha I asked you on your livestream if you'd rather have this or the fz09. You said the fz09 for sure. I rode both but fell for the speed triple and have been loving it ever since!
The mt09 looks terrible
The fz09 is kinda like a cheaper Speed Triple.
@@AndreasBrOlesen no real comparison. Besides a 3 cylinder engine they're nothing alike.
Dirk Diggler They are very much alike. Especially the earlier Speed Triples and the mt09.
- Both are naked bikes with very strong engines known for their “hooligan” character.
- Neither are really very much refined.
- Both love to wheelie.
- There is plenty of opportunity to customise the bikes. Loads of aftermarket parts.
- The keyword for neither isn’t fast lap times, just loads of fun on public roads.
The newer Speed Triples are much more refined than the earlier ones, distancing them self from the mt09. But still I think the Speedy is like a Premium mt09.
P.S. I own a 2019 Speed Triple RS

@@AndreasBrOlesen awesome bike collection man!! Those vfr's are friggin beautiful!
I just got my 2010 because of you. EVERYTHING YOU SAID was absolutely accurate. The bike even sort of scares me lol. This is my now 8th bike 😅. I would not recommend if someone is a bigger on this beast. Your scripture even worked for me that day. Being patient. Love is kind. Thanks man! ❤
YES!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for doing a video with this bike like i asked for in a different video. I LOVE the triumph street and speed triples. I plan on getting 2 bikes in the next few yrs. Ones goin to be either a honda vtx 1800 or a victory hammer and a triumph speed pr street lol. Thanks again guys, u guys rock!!
Brother the scripture really encouraged me thanks hope you and your family are blessed
LOVE the sound of a triple!!
Yes, sound is one of the main attractions for me on this bike.
I have exact the same bike. But as a first bike. And its perfect for me. The Power is amazing
I just bought a 2008 speed triple in Blazing Orange, bone stock with 4,200 miles. It’s in absolutely immaculate condition. Always been one of my very favorite bikes, especially with the bugeye headlights. Love it! Also, the stock mirrors are excellent, perfect view both behind and to the side. Why would one change them?
Great bikes owned mine over 10 years now.it has a soul reliable 100%.I have a sportster1200 .Suzie gs425 .honda cb750 dohc.which one would I keep if I only could have one ? Triumph speedtriple these bikes are the business .
Just got this Bike!! Every time I look at the sky I think of how He controls it all, and how the heavens declare the glory of God.
Amen brother
Amen
Amen
lol what are you smoking. Plus get that nonsense outta your head and watch the road.
Wow dude thats really cringey to read knowing your supposed to be a grown man writing that.
Still riding a Z750 2004 model. OFC had to change for wider bars, Akrapovič SP, racing rear sets and some decent Pirellis. Own it for 13 years. Never selling it.
Uk just bought one, AWESOME!!!
I agree with you on the mirrors, it annoys me when I hear a reviewer say "I'd take off these crappy stock mirrors and replace them with bar-ends".
i have the same mirrors on mine (2010) just turned up. the're not great, but they are wayyy better then the stock ones. it will 0-60 quicker then 3 seconds but its tough to keep the front end down. enjoy the ride and watch out for those buggies...
Got a 2011 675. Most fun I’ve had on 2 wheels in years!
Still has that Misson Impossible looks 👍
Have a 07 and is by far the most enjoyable bike I have been on. There is much faster but the torque and sounds the arrow exhaust makes is a cackling demon.
For me, the T509-generation Speed Triple was the high point of my 30+ year riding career. My favorite riding environment was undulating back roads with little traffic.
In the Bay Area, I hung with a small bunch of expert middle-aged sport riders who were fast but not reckless. We were surrounded by empty two lanes leading to Santa Cruz and other destinations and knew them all by heart.
Now in my 50s, I was riding a little less aggressively than before. The new generation of Japanese super bikes had better performance numbers, but I considered them lethal for street use, and the fatality numbers bore me out. I feel very badly for the large number of young, inexperienced riders who bought one of these as their first bike and got in over their heads.
The Triumph, on the other hand, had that magical combination of outrageous design and refined engineering. Its light weight and awesome brakes enabled me to out-deep my partners in crime when entering corners. The bike transitioned superbly, and I could get on that silky triple earlier than my friends on more powerful bikes, who had to carefully modulate their acceleration out of corners lest their rear wheel break traction and high-side them.
The Speed Triple was a bike everybody liked, and many manufacturers copied. It was the original hooligan bike. Who but the British could have come up with that concept?
Amen Brother!
I didn't get when you talked about being in first gear and getting up to 67mph. Did you mean a supersport or the speed? I need to know at around when I should be shifting from first to second gear on the speed triple? Sorry I'm a complete noob and been sticking on first gear around Southern MD practicing. I realize now how terribly I picked a first bike. I've promised myself to be dedicated to safety.
Might switch to a DRZ400sm. But I'll give this at least a whole season of riding. I got it for a reasonably low price.
2005 1050 Speed Triple was my first bike. 65K miles later I still love it!
Is it fine for me 6'3 250lbs as a 1st bike? I only ride a 125cc scooter and drive a car lol
Someone 6'3" might find it a bit cramped (I'm 5'8"),. Try sitting on one and find out.
@@maltphilistine923 is gsr600 as cramped as this bike?
I don't know. I've never been on a gsr600.
@@maltphilistine923 basically fz1n/fz6n, gsr600, speed and street triple are my prefered and allowed budget bikes 🤣 oh and forgot the best out of em vfr 800 which would be almost impossible to get as noone sells em if they get it
I have mirrors like that on several bikes. As I get older I find it harder to look back and need mirrors.
With the mirrors above the bars all I can see is my shoulders, so I put them below the bars they are great.
Gotta love triumph triple engines
Was 2010 the last year it was designed with the circular headlights?
That is something I really like is to have a bike few other people have....Typically about 15 years old or so. Suzuki TL1000S, Kawasaki ZRX 1200, Now a Triumph Speed Triple, which oddly enough of all the bikes I ever had this is the one people seem to like the best, I have gotten more compliments and comments on it than all other bikes I owned put together... It's a 2000 Model in Roulette Green ... so I think that pulls people in.
Sean, i want this bike, badly!!! It's my favorite Triumph!!!
I kind of thought the term Street Fighter also meant yeah I've been down but two weeks later I'm back up and riding again!!lol
I think traditionally you're right. When i think of a pure Streetfighter, i think of a GSXR1100 that had a fight with a street and lost . . . . so it;s missing it's fairings and becomes something else.
These are the headlights Triumph should've stuck with throughout generations...
Your vids are great, straight knowledge no BS. I grew up before bmx it was just getting to the masses and we rode huffy's and ten speeds just like they were a bmx. The point is if you love riding you'll have fun on any bike. Every time I go out to ride I have a great time. I'm safe but I ride like I'm a kid, and I'm always smiling.
Yep I had one of these, it’s a bike that never get bored of, I would guess that given the arrow pipes it’s got s triumph race tune mapped in (why wouldn’t you lol). The missing rear pegs will be because they stick out around the original end pipes, and lets face it, nobody ever purchased a speed triple to carry passengers. Personally I preferred my 955 Daytona but for sheer grin factor when riding, im not sure much beats the triple engine trumpets anyway.
Cool bike, fun episode!
I have those same mirrors on my speed triple and they are great, but mine are pointed upwards like they were intended to be
Nice review, they actually build them the other side of our farm..
Great coffee shop also..
🇬🇧
Super stoked - I have a 2017 Gsxs 1000, and I just picked up a 2007 Speed Triple in white for $3000. Beautiful bike.
If you ever get the street version please do a video on it.
9:39 look at the fact that earth is an electro-chemical masterpiece galvanic cell salt bridge anode/diode sun and moon - a wholly local phenomenon by the Master Mind. and no you cannot go there to inspect the glory of God LOL!
(those mirrors are for tucked in highway seating position to keep an eye behind you. when cruising upright it's easier to turn your head)
I’ve got a 2013 , I need to ride it right now !
I ride a Buell XB12s. The Speed Triple lights are a "tad" big. Beautiful bike regardless, also think the FZ are great looking too
This is my dream bike. I just love the bug eye headlights and the naked style. Beautiful machine.
Zachary Brand I love mine and it’s comfortable for me. Have a 08, I’m a couple of bikes away from a new Speed Triple Rs
@@shoei07 I am a long way away from the triple haha, I am working on getting my license this year. Planning on getting a KTM 390 for a starter bike.
Zachary Brand I rode the 16 390 lots of fun. Seat needs replaced. Be a good starter bike
@@shoei07 Awesome, glad you liked it! Thanks for the heads up about the seat as well.
Have a 2019 Speed RS Can’t see myself ever trading it in. Electronic package & anti wheelie will keep me safe into my grey years…. Currently 50. Love the rev range and power delivery of the 1050 triple.
I currently have no mirrors, and I am ordering a set of $20 small as merors just cause you are supposed to have at least one. I never looked I'm my mirrors even when I had the stock ones on.
I always love the info you give with the bikes later.
That's kind of dumb. Do you also look only straight ahead? You will change your mind when you will get rearended one day.
I have a 2013 street speed triple R in I love it
just found a 2003 Speed Triple with 3,000 original miles and as you said it is a perfect 5th bike. For #6 perhaps Ducati 851 SP3
Your appreciation of creation...👍
I had a ‘02 bonneville America as my first when I was 20yo...traded it in for a 2016 speed triple a few years ago brand new for my second ever bike 😂 I’m 6’2 so 🤷🏻♂️ I love the torque and nimbleness. It’s pretty easy to keep under control for me, but I do enjoy getting on it when opportunity presents itself. I think I average somewhere in the 30’s mpg 😈
on my 2nd , seems I couldn't live without one
Do you ship to Canada.. thanks Justin.
Best mod to do to that bike is -1 +2 sprockets and good sticky tires imo. You feel the torque like it was meant to be.
Please do a bit on a triumph tiger 2010 sec you'll find that it has a lot of the same characteristics as the speed triple II absolutely love mine I have both
the little screen is for better cleaning, so no flys die on the backside of the instruments which is hard to clean
Dream bike of mine since I was a kid! I have a 2015 MT-09 and looking at a 2008 Speed Triple; identical to the one in this vid. Don’t want to view it with my heart leading the charge; worth the exchange?
Never ridden an MT-09 but I absolutely love my 2008 Triple. Comfortable, smooth, reliable, and torquey. Don't think I'd ever part with it.
Im gettin an 05 to 08. Low miles. Still lookin oooh mt10 look badass also. 😎
This is my first bike... 2009 triumph Speedtriple 1050. Just take it easy the first couple months ;)
Really cool vid, and I agree with ye about those mirrors, they're simply useless. The Speed and Street Triple are wicked bikes, definitely
Amen! Awesome review on an awesome bike! I have a 2011, and I love it!
Just look at it- it’s one of the most beautiful machines ever made- i mean ,shit man, Just look at it. This motorcycle just continues to be relevant in a market that’s hard to maintain. If your dying to hav this motorcycle but don’t have the cash ,you can get a 2005 model that looks and rides just as good. It looks like a streetfighter straight from the factory. Guys spend 5k on a motorcycle and then drop 10k on mods to get a bike that looks like a factory speed triple.
K
The iconic googly, insect like eyes are one of those marmite things.
Personally, I love them.
The under-hang those mirrors are doing is part of the problem. The one Rizoma makes 20% larger, but the same shape. I have mine mounted in the top-hang position and they are just big enough to trust, while looking real classy!
I had the Tiger 1050 as a second bike to my first being a Varadero 125 lol, what a jump, it's by far the best litre bike to be riding in England though as the potholes on the roads are shit, having tall forks and swing arms has paid off many a time, the Tiger is much taller and heavier upfront but like the speedtrip it's a torque monster and sounds ace with a race can on. It's a sound that makes you want to rev it though :)
What do you mean about the clouds, that they did not happen by accident? I did not understand that part of your video... Nice video...
The 'growl' of a triple is so unique.
