i love the simplicity of the styling, it looks beautiful
Enjoyed listening to your personal review.very down to earth and covered a lot of interesting points.
Thanks Tommy.
Thanks Tommy! Much appreciated 👍
Good review. Thanks. Ive heard others mention the heat issue so I dont think that's unique to your own bike. About the wiring, yours seems to have the round indicators rather than the standard thin oval ones? If so then whoever fitted then may have caused that wiring issue.
Thank you for such a detailed and informative video! Much appreciated. Also, I agree on your point of this being the prettiest one in its segment. Big ups to you!
Glad it was helpful!
Love the style of the review.
Many thanks, Ian!
Great review thanks will still get one especially now I know more .
there is a gen 2 now that solved some of those issues and added a couple of HP and upside down forks...
Wonderful beautiful review.
Thank you so much!
My experience with the fuel gauge is the same with my 2023 Speedmaster. The tank needs to be filled right to the top of the neck so that the gauge registers as full and solves the problem.
On fill up my ST reports about 165, never beneath 150, thats the 2019 version
Good review, appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely bike. Hope you enjoy it. I did the same as you, traded my Scrambler 900 for the Speed Twin. I don’t have the option of putting V&H.. they were an optional extra for your bike, but not an option on mine. 😊😊
Good to hear from someone taking the same path 🙂
Thanks for the review, Motone do a good Monza cap which would be a good replacement.
1:45 Thruxton: “Am I dead to you?”
If you get rid of the cat and O2 sensors I've noticed a much cooler ride compared to my 865 Bonnie. Of course when the fan comes on it blows heat just like any other liquid cooled bike. I normally ride in ambient temps of 20° to 32°C, no problem if you keep moving.
To my knowledge the HP engine is only used on the out going Thruxton and the Speed Twin. The other 1200s are HT….. am I right?
It looks great. You can get it black or not so black.
Would recommend turning the monza fuel cap round so that it opens towards the bars. It's easy to do, there's a vid on TH-cam somewhere.
Good to know!
Well done Ollie, great insight.
It would be useful to know how tall you are. I'm 6' and even then there are a lot of bikes which give me cramp!
Thanks for the comment Richard 🙂 I'm 6ft 2 but even so this bike doesn't give me any bother for its size.
Great review, did you turn the bars?. Bring back the reserve tap position.
Actually this was done under the previous owner. Thanks for the comment!
Hey, I have the same bike and you can leave the gas cap unlocked so it’s easier when fueling up :)
Many thanks, I did not know that 🙏
Ye all the bonnies run pretty hot and unfortunately i can't get rid of the cat which is the cause of the heat at least where i leave at it seems bike inspections will be a thing over here.
Yup, burning knees was the only reason I didn't buy a speed twin. Settled for the 2023 XSR900, which runs much much cooler, don't know why but it does so I bought it instead.
That's a good point, and come to think of it I've actually heard this before. Thanks for the comment 🙂
An initial impressions review of a 5 year old bike? I'd say not a big deal except 2021 was a refresh year so a few major things have been changed such as the exhaust and especially the rmfront suspension
How's the stopping power with the older Brembo's up front?
Hi Jimmy, thanks for asking. I'm yet to find their limits but they seem pretty good so far.
@@turnthekeypov5044 Thank you and good to hear
I don't lock the inner fuel cap. Just pop the monza and twist the cap. Easy peasy
Negatives for me are, mpg could be better and engine runs hot.
In and out of South Croydon.
Yeah just wondering how tall you are I’m 6 4 would I swamp it always wanted a modern Bonnie.
I'm 6ft 2 👍 Never had that issue with a Bonnie myself.
Filtering at pedestrian crossing zig zags, you deserve points for that
How tall are you?
Hi Daniel! I'm 6ft 2 👍
How tall are you.
I'm 6ft 2 👍
Me too, got a 900 scrambler and thinking about a 1200 speed twin.
"too small" with 820mm of seat height? how ? :D
Thruxton rs are faster has 104hp ✊🔥🔥and look better😎
The Thruxton RS is a very pretty bike tbf.
@@turnthekeypov5044Great review by the way✊🔥more comfortable the the speed triple R😃
It is the same engine, costs 50% more and is uncomfortable for more than short periods.
@@logangodofcandy its has 8hp more and 7kg lighter✊🔥and more fun on curvy toads😎
I'm making a spiteful comment!
