without a doubt, one of the most beautiful bikes i have ever seen. I have been to the Triumph factory in Hinckley and watching the skill and craftmanship involved in hand painting strips, decals etc is truly amazing.
This new RR is a great looking bike five out of five but the ergonomics would kill my back. Supersports are not comfortable for me to ride but some are incredibly beautiful.
Great review! I own a Speed Triple 1200RR myself and everything you said about it is pretty much right on. I'm glad I own it and really enjoy the power and handling although I do own other bikes for my longer rides.
I have the 2011 and have waited for this day a long time. I absolutely love it. It's arrived at my dealer in Tucson. Crystal White with gold pin stripe. I'm getting it on Tuesday. It's probably not going to be ridden the way I rode my 2011 back in the day. Older guy now. It was the looks that sold me. Just like the Daytona 765 Moto2 that sits in my living room 😉
My first ever bike is a Triumph Thruxton 900 and ive had it for 6 years now. This bike looks like everything I ever wanted the Thruxton to be and more! I just can't believe that pull you did so effortlesly. I would need to discipline myself, I am really certain this will be my next bike! Thanks for the video!
I love the look of these, I’m currently riding a 2016 Daytona 675r which suits me as it’s light and not very wide around the engine due it being a triple. The Speed triple 1200rr could well be a future bike for me. Whilst I was at the local Triumph dealer early this year I had a look round and sit on there demonstrator. The sales man appeared from nowhere and tried to work his magic on me but I was like, nah man I cannot afford one of these at the moment
i have been watching your videos for so long, i even learned riding a bike for the first time after watching your video series of how to ride a bike. Really appreciate it man, the bikes u ride are amazing the places u go are beautiful and i also think that u r actually really goodlooking guy. 😂
Please come back and review it again in the spring up in the mountains. I found a simple fix for super sports for us old folks, raise the clip-ons to zero degrees. Makes a world of difference.
OC: Triumph really delivered a beautiful bike. As far a Supersports. I love them, but my back doesn't love them. For 20k or more you likely get your money's worth. But I believe you can have just as much if not more fun on a bike that's little more than half the price of the Speed Triple RR. In my opinion I'd still go with the MT09 SP and I'd still be getting a triple, just from Yamaha.
100% agree about SS’s. They are good for everything but actually riding. If at a half hour into your ride the only thing you can focus on is how uncomfortable you are that motorcycle is going to sit, we need less supersports and more sport tourers/ upright bikes…it’s about the ride!
@@steveearnshaw720agreed. I rode a SS for 8 months and it was never THAT uncomfortable, would i cramp up in my legs or back every so often on long rides, sure, but that wasnt every time i went out even on 3-4 hour rides
@@triyo1089 I had the first R1 for 15 years. Granted, it wasn't much fun in stop/start city traffic but everywhere else it was a gem. Bought a new Street Triple RS last years but there is still a GSX-R750 in the shed. Merry Christmas 🙂
@@steveearnshaw720 i started out on a 93 dyna, then mt07, then gixxer 600. Saving up to snag a striple 765 rs next bc out of the three nakeds have been the best imo and it’s a naked that rides like an SS 😂
OC: It looks really good from all angles. I wouldn’t mind owning one but it would only be a secondary bike for me and that’s something I can’t justify at 20k. I’ll definitely be admiring them from afar though when I see them on the road.
One of THE best looking sportsbike ever made. Bit of retro bit of sports bit of naked. Perfect combo. Makes me overlook the $$$. Just look 👀 at this beauty 😍
OC: Great performance, usually great looks when it comes to the super and hyper-sports, but I can't justify those bikes on the street. If I'm doing 1-2 track weekends a month, then I'm all in. But for daily street riding I'll stick to my sporty naked, Monster 620, it's comfy with a slight forward lean and plenty of engine for the street.
I’ll be getting one and I will daily it. Started out riding with an 82 GS1100e that I cafe’d(brat seat, straight bars and rear controls), went to an MT07 that I put clipons on and it’s always been to cramped, to small, to light. It never felt right. I love the RR’s seating position, weight and feel when I got to sit on one. Now it’s just saving the money up. Would have walked away with the one they had at the dealer for 16.5k but my trucks lease is up in the spring and buying it out. Tempted every day to call em up and see if it’s still there.
Best part of the bike is that it’s engine doesn’t tear itself apart like the new mt09 engine. I was so disappointed with my 2021 mt09. The 2018 mt09 was so much better. Looking forward to purchasing the 2023 1200rr!
Between the 1200 RS and 1200 RR, I find it a tough choice. RS makes lost more sense, but I like the clipons and the look of this bike. I wasn't sure that paint would look so good, and the other color it comes with is cool looking too! I'd get this. Though, it would get me in troubl e(Bot so did my R1M, and my Super Duke R, and so would a 1200RS... I still get in trouble in my Honda CB1000R... I think I do want this bike though!)OC I do LIke Supersports. Been riding a couple of Nakes lately (last supersport was R1M from 2019, and before that had a Jixer-1000, and ZX-10R, but I do like this bike. Its a nice "hybrid" but it feels like a sport bike. I did test a 1200 RS before, and liked that bike, but I do like the look of this one a lot!
Speaking of both the Duc and Triumph, I owned a heavily modified by Fast by Ferracci Duc 999 for 8 years. Picked up a 2005 Daytona 955i in late 2013 on a whim as bidding was super low. Ended up winning it for $3500 !!!!! MINT w/ 6,800miles. Had it shipped to me for $275..with every intention of flipping it for $4, 500, 4,800. That's about the going price...then. Huge diff between the Duc and Triumph...parts cost.....example - a Ducati OEM grip kit L grip RH grip mounted on tube. Ducati - $100 Triumph - $22 Triumph had far far better OEM grips too !. Shockingly inexpensive parts vs Ducati across the board. Ended up liking the Daytona so much I kept it. What a great road-going sportbike. Plenty of power 147hp @ crank,78ftlbs...geared it down a bit -1T front, +4 T rear.. It has proprietary OEM Showa suspension., and the unusual non-USD... standard telescopic forks, axial calipers - which are both excellent. Haven't ridden the new RR, hopefully soon as weather breaks. If you get a chance give the 2002-2006 Daytona 955i a spin. You'll love it. Great for a 'young rider who wants a 'big bore' sportbike w/o getting slammed with insurance premiums.. You should review one, make sure it's the 2003 > w/ the single sided swinger and 147hp triple ...love that triple 'howl' Great review by the way Chase !!! Enjoy your stuff !
I have several liter bikes including this bike and an RSV4 Factory and I would say that this is the most well behaved of all of them. Yeah it looks AMAZING. But the handling, throttle response and overall ride experience is second to none in its class. It is sublime...and expensive!
Been riding years so he didn't inspire etc. But what I do find interesting coming from the u.k is how different opinions differ from country to country, the triumph rr and the rs for example, the rr is very much more suited to American roads, where the rs is almost definitely better on u.k roads, I'd love to see even meet chace and the crew in the u.k and see how there opinions may differ in a different country with very different roads 👍
@@richardclark1448 same here, we dont have those wide winding roads like they do in the US. So the preferences of bikes are very different here in the netherlands aswel
I’m not even lying this is one of the most easy riding sport bike. It feels very similar to both sport and naked. It’s weird but great at the same time.
OC: Sweet start to 2022, for me the best place to get the most from that bike (or any supersport) is the track. Any more than half of a supersport on the street and you're getting a "blue light special" on money reducing paper.
This is probably too late, but from what I've heard it's about the same as a S1000RR and slightly less extreme than a R1. If it was mine tho I'd stick some more comfortable clip ons on it
Haha, your belly constantly touching the fuel tank isn't a 'bike' problem mate 😄 have you tired the new aprilia rsv4 at all? I'm quite surprised you don't own one to be fair, know you like sports bikes, and the noise your mt10 makes, get the best of both those things with quite possibly the best chassis out there... ride safe 👍
Ugh, keyless sucks. I'm so not looking forward to the future. I'll have to get a bike soon before every option is keyless and super LCD screen dependent.
Agree with you 💯 about the clutch engagement. I have so much more control having the clutch engage as soon as I pull in/ release the lever as opposed to having it way out. Doesn’t help that I have small hands. Such an underrated adjustment when practicing slow speed maneuvers/ friction zone skills.
I have a speed triple 1200 RS - I'm torn - don't like the leaned over position on the RR but want the electronic suspension. I do around town and country rides and love my RS. I have the same fight with neutral but it's gotten better over the last year, you get used to it - when I ride another bike it reminds me how obnoxious it is however I forget about it when I'm riding - the 1200 RS is wonderful on the road.
She is stunning and that Triple is amazing. I do think Triumph hit a home run. Drawback is that price. So fast the bike comes with a Death Certificate.
They must not be selling well because my triumph dealer has these marked down to $16,000 right now, almost $5,000 off… for $16,000 you get a ton of bike…
Hey good to see Josh again always making sure the bikes can safely be turned off good stuff hope he still has his sound check skills, lovely you promised us a new member of stuff last year and hell he's black not that it matters much but interesting about the bike it is pretty I will give it that and yes that's an interesting red, it kind of looks like a beautiful red Beatle with it's wide tank and I really love the way it handled the turn that's one of the best turns, about super sports looks are important to me so I love them though I hate fairings.
This bike is gorgeous and I don't want to take anything away from it by repeating this. But "For >20k I'ma need 200horsepower, and the rest of my fairings, Triumph." ~ Adobo Moto, I think.
OC: i amgoing towards a more sporty riding style the older I get... Had a Vstrom, now I have an FZ6, looking to change it for an R9 (when / if it comes out if not an R7) or if I win the lottery a Panigale V2... Dunno, I think it is because my use case has changed that I am going forther towards supersport bikes =)
OC: I think this bike is beautiful enough that I might just buy it. My bikes are weekend toys anyways. I want to find one to sit on and it and feel the position myself. But this is so beautiful and so full of technology that I think I’d be ok dropping $20k on this just to take pictures of it 90% of the time
OC: I would class the Triumph Speed Triple RR as a European Café Sport Bike. Loved the wheelie on the interstate throttle up. Super Sports have way more aerodynamics.
Strongly agree. I love seeing rider POV for the great majority and then a bit of camera car sprinkled in. This felt like a bit too much camera car. Also kinda weird to follow him talking about something happening at that moment while watching him just casually ride at a very different moment lol
OC: Supersport market is dying on the street. People are less willing to suffer through the extreme ergos and having the powerband way high in the rpm range is pointless unless you're on the track. An example is the R6. It's easy to see why it was discontinued. The MT09 has the same horsepower and gobs more torque in a useable range. All in a comfortable package. You're losing out only in top speed and neck/back/wrist pain.
Aprilia rsv4 for a sports bike...aprilia tuono 1100v4 for naked. Both better than either of the triumphs, owned both a speed triple, and a tuono, aprilia come out on top everyday of the week 👍
OC: I don’t care for super sports at all. I don’t mind videos of people on track comparing them. Other than that I have no interest in them. I do get amusement out of peoples suffering when riding them on the streets while trying to maintain a fake smile like they’re not miserable
"That triple whine..." Is a set of gears that drive the cams. Sometimes is the gear between the crankshaft and the input shaft of the transmission. V4's have had that whine. Vtwins have had that whine. Inline 4's have had that whine. Has nothing to do with the number of cylinders.
I think the best looking Triumphs are the Daytonas and the modern street and speed triples ...this one headlight thing ain't for me but I'm sure this thing flys and it's not ugly just a acquired taste I feel..I love Triumph I own a 2017 street triple 675 R and the bike is outrageous and bulletproof reliable its just this ain't it for me..speed triple RS1200 to me is where it's at...they need to make a 1000cc Daytona already
The Alien Mantis headlight/pod is gone…replaced by a single, round headlight…and everybody is proclaiming it one of the most beautiful bikes of the year. That’s a hint for you Triumph.
No it's not gone it's just on a different model. And I beg to differ because I think the headlight on this thing is meh and really like the dual lights on the rr
The retro look is cool, but all that tech makes me wonder when are all the rider aids actually hurting the riders fundamental skill? And what's a modern bike that fits perfectly in the middle?
OC. Combine that headlight with a small bezel/flyscreen and the suspension with the RS ergos and Triumph can have my money. I am looking at the Ducati Streetfighter V2 for my getaround bike at the moment. Won't know until March. Not interested in SS body position.

Shameless plug!
Gotta be one of the best looking bikes around.
I’ve had my heart set on the V2 Panigale for over a year now… This thing won my heart in less than an hour.
Ikr!
Just picked up this bike last week and I'm in love. It's really a "premium" sportbike with amazing road manners.
When I ran this bike I'm 5’6” 180lbs and I was very comfortable on the bike like actually very comfortable and I came from Harley-Davidson fatboy
without a doubt, one of the most beautiful bikes i have ever seen. I have been to the Triumph factory in Hinckley and watching the skill and craftmanship involved in hand painting strips, decals etc is truly amazing.
I just want to say I am 6'2 33 inseam. This is the most comfortable sport bike I have ever had. Riding geometry is better for taller riders.
Can confirm; 6'3", 34.5" inseam, rider triangle is unmatched
This new RR is a great looking bike five out of five but the ergonomics would kill my back.
Supersports are not comfortable for me to ride but some are incredibly beautiful.
No cap... if the postion was left alone i would buy this thing... but im over this bike now, next 🤣
@@Spaceinvaderzim damn old people

Own a new one since April 2024 in white and its amazing. Had the SFV4 prior and am so happy with the exchange. Wheelie monster.

Yamaha sucks!!!! Boooooring design not so classic, unreliable body, weak chassis. Triumph is hooligan spirits!!!

Well I was looking for 1050 one but I guess, check the new one first.

I have a 2005 triumph sprint st 1050 and it seems like this bike with raised clip ons would be just a better in every way triumph sprint
Great review!! Much less comfortable than new BMW S1000 RR or R1? I’ve owned both and they were fairly comfortable with Helibar risers.
This is probably too late, but from what I've heard it's about the same as a S1000RR and slightly less extreme than a R1. If it was mine tho I'd stick some more comfortable clip ons on it
Rain mode is 80hp less isn't it? So I assume 50-60 at the wheel. yeah thats noticeable its an extra half your power when you disable it.
Haha, your belly constantly touching the fuel tank isn't a 'bike' problem mate 😄 have you tired the new aprilia rsv4 at all?

since you wanted to ride more cruiser style bikes, i was wondering if you could get your hands on the bmw r18 and see what you think about it.
600cc is a Supersport, 1000cc is a Superbike, I'd call this a Hyperbike.
What's up new producer!
Wish triumph would reissue the moto 2 with this face on it. The front cowl is wicked
I have a speed triple 1200 RS - I'm torn - don't like the leaned over position on the RR but want the electronic suspension. I do around town and country rides and love my RS.

OC: I think this bike is beautiful enough that I might just buy it. My bikes are weekend toys anyways. I want to find one to sit on and it and feel the position myself. But this is so beautiful and so full of technology that I think I’d be ok dropping $20k on this just to take pictures of it 90% of the time
RETURN OF THE SMORT!
We indeed are back baby!
OC: I would class the Triumph Speed Triple RR as a European Café Sport Bike. Loved the wheelie on the interstate throttle up. Super Sports have way more aerodynamics.
What boots did you have on in this review?
Bit excessive with the camera car footage. It should support the video and not be the video.
Strongly agree. I love seeing rider POV for the great majority and then a bit of camera car sprinkled in. This felt like a bit too much camera car. Also kinda weird to follow him talking about something happening at that moment while watching him just casually ride at a very different moment lol
Try pulling the clutch all the way in for neutral. Speaking from my previous experiences :)
When I first saw this, I thought it was your guys custom built cbr 1000rr 😅
Here we goo just in time for my shift at work ....
OC: Supersport market is dying on the street. People are less willing to suffer through the extreme ergos and having the powerband way high in the rpm range is pointless unless you're on the track. An example is the R6. It's easy to see why it was discontinued. The MT09 has the same horsepower and gobs more torque in a useable range. All in a comfortable package. You're losing out only in top speed and neck/back/wrist pain.
It's so damned pretty but I really what to see the white one in the wild.
I have the white one! I pick it up Tuesday 2/8 in Tucson. Already had accessories installed. It's a beauty for sure. I'll see it in the sunlight then.
How would you compare the speed triple rr and the Daytona with regards to agility or flickability?
just as good!
Oh and outstanding bike... what I been looking for
Gotta do the street triple
Mountain Motorsports shows the 2022 Super Duke R Evo in stock. Let’s get a first ride of that 😁
OC. I love the way they look but I wouldn't get one for my everyday riding
Aprilia rsv4 for a sports bike...aprilia tuono 1100v4 for naked. Both better than either of the triumphs, owned both a speed triple, and a tuono, aprilia come out on top everyday of the week 👍
I have a thruxton and this calls my name, but i'm not much of an agreesive rider I do like the RS version
Remember to always Ride Smort!
I wish they did similar design to the trident 660…
100% agree the bikes look awsum but for me unrideable me legs just dont like those angles lol
It's a Supersport. 1200cc? Aggressive body position? Looks like a Panigale 1199 in the cockpit view
OMG those ginormous blinkers! Otherwise a beautiful motorcycle!
17:17 That’s what she said!
I would think the insurance for this would be much lower than a Super Sport bike in the price range
just the "oh shit" XD
OC: I don’t care for super sports at all. I don’t mind videos of people on track comparing them. Other than that I have no interest in them. I do get amusement out of peoples suffering when riding them on the streets while trying to maintain a fake smile like they’re not miserable
Hahahah I just died 🤣🤣
What’s up Trey!!!!!
"That triple whine..."
Is a set of gears that drive the cams. Sometimes is the gear between the crankshaft and the input shaft of the transmission. V4's have had that whine. Vtwins have had that whine. Inline 4's have had that whine.
Has nothing to do with the number of cylinders.
I think the best looking Triumphs are the Daytonas and the modern street and speed triples ...this one headlight thing ain't for me but I'm sure this thing flys and it's not ugly just a acquired taste I feel..I love Triumph I own a 2017 street triple 675 R and the bike is outrageous and bulletproof reliable its just this ain't it for me..speed triple RS1200 to me is where it's at...they need to make a 1000cc Daytona already
The Alien Mantis headlight/pod is gone…replaced by a single, round headlight…and everybody is proclaiming it one of the most beautiful bikes of the year. That’s a hint for you Triumph.
No it's not gone it's just on a different model. And I beg to differ because I think the headlight on this thing is meh and really like the dual lights on the rr
Welcome aboard Trey.... Trae? However it's spelled :)
Way to go Bin!
Big fan dude
Shouldn't have to use the clutch much with the quick shifter.
The retro look is cool, but all that tech makes me wonder when are all the rider aids actually hurting the riders fundamental skill? And what's a modern bike that fits perfectly in the middle?
OC. Combine that headlight with a small bezel/flyscreen and the suspension with the RS ergos and Triumph can have my money. I am looking at the Ducati Streetfighter V2 for my getaround bike at the moment. Won't know until March. Not interested in SS body position.
Maybe take pics without cars in the background? At least use those pines.
Looks like an FZ1 with clipons
It’s a cafe racer
My dream bike🚴
