- We were lucky to be one of the first to ride the new 2022 Triumph Speed Triple RS, so we hired our own track and gave it to Chris.

Chris might just be my favorite motorcycle journalist ever
If Chris is doing the review, then I will watch, regardless of the bike. Really appreciate his down to earth and often funny style. Certainly one of the top 5 motorcycle reviewers that I constantly watch. Thanks mate, solid review as usual.
Thanks Andrew
very true, he is entertaining for sure!!
@@BikeWorldTVshow Such a beautiful sound , the exhaust sound changes as the rev increases , from sophisticated in the low to the roaring in the high ,
Mechanically (a mechanical engineer here) , and as a bike enthusiast, 3 Cyls are the best when it comes to power delivery, low end torque + top end rush , and due to triumphs T-plane crankshaft (perfect secondary balance) this thing revs very high for a engine that size , and reaches redline quicker than any I4...
I've plenty experience, owned an R1 (sold last year and got a cycle), r6, zx 10r, the busa, Zh2, RSV4, panigale, cbr 1000, and z900 , daytona 675, street triple 675RS, RE bikes,and what not , but i find three cyls the best among inline 4s and 2s (Vs are better ). (Except some radicals i4s ).
I love your style of reviewing, and love how you are more of a enthusiast and less of a reviewer! Exactly what we need .
I'm gonna get a trident 660 next or this. Currently riding a cycle after selling my R1😂
Top 5 ?? 😳 I’d struggle to name 1 better reviewer !
@@williamcb78 I agree with you. But if we're to name a few, I think reviews from channels like (#Living it up) can stand a chance on the list, if not on the top!
This is a man I would listen to and buy a bike based solely off their review - Looking forward to the road ride
His review of the 890duker sent me right to the dealership
@@JoeShep71 Yes me too, I sold my '20 Street Triple RS the day after watching his 890R review and I've been in love ever since.
But how dose it compare to the Tuono / SDR / Streetfighter V4 & S1000R on road...
@@Dius765RS yes, that's what we want to know. I hope it tops them but even if not it's nice just knowing it's in there battling away 👍
@@S1000xrhp I have a tuono v4 factory.... it doesn't get much attention anymore.... but thats me.. the lightweight and nimbleness of the 890 makes riding it so much more fun
Chris, "I'm getting very grown up in my old age."
Final shot ... rear wheel only down the whole back straight.
😂😂😂
Looks like Triumph have knocked it out of the park with this one - they've made a bike so suave that the most eloquent hooligan on the net, Chris, couldn't bring himself to hooliganise it. Great review
This was better than my morning coffee
I'm ashamed to say I've never come across this journalist before, but I was pretty impressed. As soon as I find out his name I'll be checking out more of his stuff
Chris Northover
Another great review, I've booked a test ride so this will keep me happy while I'm waiting 😂😂
339 : Same here 😃
The one I've been waiting for Chris and a Speedy can't wait for the road test! Happy days 👍
Love anything Chris does. I’ve been guilty of being a 44Teeth fanboi but Chris’s reviews are so damn good, I’m a convert. Keep them coming !
Chris is my top reviewer of a lot good favorits.

Love a bit of Chris. Really passionate, knowledge and fast as hell. Seems like a genuinely nice guy too.
The whistle of the gearbox is gone ! YES ! 😃
😍 so want one of these. The 890 Duke R might have to go after all. 😬
Ayyy, Cuban. You'd tear it up on this bike for sure. 🤙
Head not heart ...... relax and don’t be impatient!!!take one out for a little demo ride 🤪
The grumpy old man who's about to complain that the internet is too fast will always be my favorite pro rider hooligan. In the world of two wheeler journalist experts, Chris Northover stands alone. He's like a young Ayrton Senna lapping the field in the pouring rain in Estoril - simply one of a kind talent!
4k, music that doesn't play over the bike's engine, great commentary and analysis, wheelies and amazing cornering, this is how you make a motorcycle video. Well done!
You guys are killing it lately, breaking content on the most appealing machines and solid footage + information.
Cheers Mark
Them headlights tho..... 👽
....and that rear fender, too.
I vote to swap it with the ducati monster headlight from the last generation
Love Chris's reviews...fun to listen to and good, knowledgeable info. Thanks!
From all the UK-based TH-camr, Journo reviews I‘ve seen so far yours is the one I enjoyed listening. Landed on earth talk. Not full of superlatives and service to Triumph words you can google and seeing being mentioned by the same people in the same way just for every older gen bike when it was tested as new! And well done referring to the state of your tires as testimony of how good it works out of the box, think this should be done more often really. Thanks
Thanks, we don't go by the spec sheets, you'll even see some reviewers holding them in their hands as they talk. Appreciate the feedback. 🙂
I loved the review! Oh, I miss so much my Suzuki 1250 Bandit and my Hayabusa...( not at all my last bike, a Harley Davidson 🤮 ). Old days. Maybe the reason I got to 50 years old alive, being so enthusiastic about the sensation of speed and freedom was giving up the sport bikes and got into the sport cars. It’s very good. But not the same. I can’t help to be hopelessly in love every time I see one of those exciting bikes. Be safe!
Oh, my 2007 CBR 1000RR always stays in the mode I left it 😁
I always thought this bike needed an extra R.
my 2000 600 is pretty good in this to :D
Got this motorcycle journalism off to tee Chris, the riding is rather good too ! This for me is the bike I'm most interested in this year, or even for a few years....nice one Triumph.
Tuono V4 factory is it's main competitor and the choice is tough 🙂
Great review Chris, loved my last speed RS, sold because a cranky gearbox lost my confidence, love the new one.
Phenomenal review! Loved those slow MO shots! 😍
Fab review. Been waiting for this one from you. Not disappointed at all...great job!
Cheers
Simply lovely! Bike, Slow Mo and Review! Another great piece !Thank you Chris!
This is the bike and reviewer i have been waiting for, so tempting ... good video Chris
I love how hippie Chris got it right with the RR. He’s brilliant. 👍🤪🇨🇦
Sh*t,this is the best looking bike i've ever seen in my life.
Imagine how it would look if Triumph had used up all its grey and black paint stock.
Have you seen their teaser questionnaire asking what colours we might like.... err you mean red, orange, green, blue? 😂😂
On pure sex appeal, nothing rivals the v2/v4 and I’m not a duca fan by any means. But as a performance package, this is the bees knees in roadster segment
Love the video as always, want to see how it performs as a road bike where it will spend 95% of its time. Look forward to that video 👍 cheers
Love the Speed Triple 1200, highly recommend!
Be interesting to see how it competes with the new Tuono V4. Good review though :)
I don't know why I thought this but Chris would make a great pirate! Grrrrr jumps, skids and wheelie!
Much awaited review ! Awesome machine 🙌🏻
Yet another unbiased review. I would (and have) bought a bike on his (and Neevsey’s) advise
I’m convinced after this review, I was gonna get the Tuono factory, but this has the more sleeper looks. And Chris saying he’s all grown up…. Then pulls a minger all down the straight!!! Awesome!
Well spoken, presented and thought out review, cheers to the video team for the beautiful shots and editing. Great video!
Think these are the best reviews on the internuts. Thanks!
Oh I've been waiting for this for so long!
amazing review as usual Chris! always look forward to your review no matter what bike. keep 'em coming
Great review, good job!
I owned the 1050 rs and now the 1200 rs and the suspension is perfect on roads in good condition but if they are not they feel hard. I just changed tires, a friend recommended the CONTIRACE ATTACK 2 STREET and I have to say that with this type of tire the problem is over. I never thought that a tire would influence the suspension setting so much. To those of you who have the 1200, try another tire with a softer casing, it does not have to be continental, although I doubt that I will mount another tire again and I have tried supercorsa, s21, TT, rs10 ..... but none that works better with the suspension. my speed 1200 is now better than the speed 1050 rs
Hands down the best review from the best reviewer😍.. Chris My man I'm a Fan🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great to see that you're enjoying your self,, good fair and factual review as all off us seen you on the ktm super Duke test,, glad triumph built this bike,, I've an 08 one and modified the life out of it,, lightning everything,, but limited in the power stakes,,, from Northern Ireland greatly appreciated,, will look forward to seeing you on the road test ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
The Speed Triple was worldwide everyone's inc every journo's naked/hooligan/ street fighter for over 10 years. Prolly 15 years.
Won every group test etc etc.
Then along came the Tuono and changed everything forever.
This class has never been the same since.
Just more ballistic.
Great review..... love your comments and the bike looks great too!!
"We want these with clip ons" - Chris and his prophetic abilities
Nice review of a great bike. Well done Chris, well done Triumph 👏🏻👏🏻
As always, just what you need to know. Beautiful stuff Chris! 👌
I like that you can write ‘willy’ on the dash. Progress.
I guess they listened. 1200RR has clipons and further back rearsets. Now that'll be a treat!
Great details that are too often over-looked by most reviewers. This is the type of review that allows you to narrow your decision without needing to ride every bike first.
When the 765 was going to be coming out I was asking some local contacts "what about the SPEED triple" and got a "just wait and see" because they couldn't talk about it. I set my expectations pretty high and this blew away all my expectations.
nice, i have a lot of respect for this guy.. good job
Nice Buell!
Chris easily wins "bike journalist of the DECADE"
Hey Chris, u did another awesome review bro. Keep it going.....👍
It looks stunning, sounds vicious and you've given it the seal of approval. Now all that's left is to put a kidney on eBay and I'll be sorted.
Chris, great job you always present very well. 👍
I have a hard enough time handling my 2019 RS. I can't imagine adding another 30hp.
I can listen to Chris all day ....
Love this bike triump tríple speed💯🏍️
Nice review. Looks really sleek. Seems to have all the right ingredients in the right amounts to be a winner. Very cool.
Man this bike with an SC Project exhaust is just 😈
Nice work young man, I may as well just order one now...
My favorite bike reviewer at work!
Brilliant review. Such good fun.
Triumph please please fit clips ons and a faring to these!
Great idea. Great open class race bike potential!!
Love Chris and his Reviews... But to say its better than the SuperDuke R 3.0 😱😱 I almost dropped my phone lol
Ah ha, better in some ways. Triumph for corners, SDR for being completely mental and wheelies everywhere!
Love this style of review.
Looking forward to the roady bit..........😉
I think that it is the valve train that made the whistling noise. If you pulled the clutch in whilst the old bike was stationary the gearbox would stop spinning but you would still hear the noise. I guess it could be the primary drive making the noise I suppose.
Chris is what made this review , he is absolutely phenomenal....
More of this guy, he’s the kind of dude we’d ride with here in the Chi
I've been dreaming of building a track special speed triple with clip-ons and rearsets ever since the first 1050 in 2006. One day I'll find some money to dedicate to that. Work hard at school, kids, or your dreams will slip away!

Great review!!! Will you also be doing a road ride review? Really interested in what you make of it. A lot of the other reviews have said its set up is a little too hard for road but would be interested in your take on it.
this is a top level channel
Thanks!
Looks and sounds excellent. Good review.
great front end feel, whilst doing lots of wheelie-ing . Yeah ! ( Good review , up vote from me :) )
Would love to know how it compares to the street fighter v4?
Daytona 675 was the best supersport ever, period...its such a shame that they wont make it anymore....🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🤕🤕🤕🤕
I’d be all over one of these but reckon I’ll wait for the next model year and see if they make one that isn’t black or slightly less black. Bring back actual colours please Triumph.
colours don't sell enough. Customers mostly choose classy colours : black or grey. Triumph knows that. Sometimes some coulours are difficult to sell by dealerships and they struggle to sell the red or gold bike in the showroom and must apply a large discount when the model year is outdated.
thanks Chris good review as always
Here you are living in 2022 and I'm still stuck in 2021.
Great review Chris and clearly a real weapon of a machine, but please Triumph, can we have one in a proper colour please [racing red and/or competition green etc].
99% of riders don't need electronic adjustable suspension and NO road riders need it.
I have professionally modified OEM suspension on my bikes and once I adjust the settings properly, I never have to touch them again. Ever.
Thats a sweet bike!
Also the asymetrical leathers look really cool
Great review, looks awesome. I'm still riding my 2016MY Speed R, heavy old plodder by comparison, I'm 65 this year so probably just as well....
I still love my 2013 speed triple R 1050
Just got a 21 speed triple after 6 years of dukes, gen 3, brilliant, but spent half the time at dealers with faults than been used on the road.
Only now do i understand the front end... Looking at it straight on, it looks like half the Union jack. =)
Scowling headlights.
Damn you Chris....Now I got to think on how I'm going to tell my son he's not going to University if I have to pay for it! Dad needs a new bike! LOL
Could easily get a few models out of this engine! New Sprint ST or maybe chuck it in a Tiger for a super moto type model too! Looking forward to my test ride. 😁
Watching u ride a track makes me want to just quit riding 😀😂😂 too good man. Too good! Haha! Love your reviews! Thanks for all the awesome work u do!!!
It looks really nice but still I would take the SDR for the rawness of it
SDR is not raw anymore. The 2020 is a very very good bike. Just the most torquey at low & mid revs ! I had the 2017 model.
the day triumph changes those headlights their sales will skyrocket
Can't wait for Triumph to put that engine into a sports tourer like the 1992/3 Trophy 4
I can't tell you how proud I am of Triumph…They've finally made a mill that can scare you. I've owned an 03, an 05 and my current 2013 R. They've always had "good" power, but even intermediate riders wouldn't s**t their pants (trousers) riding one. They've had torquey, easy to manage motors, but for the new Speedie to have 5+ [more] bhp than the last gen (absolute street monster) Tuono, makes me almost tear up a bit 😉.
Well, I guess I gotta take a second on the house, bc Triumph has made me want to buy a brand new S3 for the first time...
Now, if that sub-frame was red and the wheels were as sexy as the last gen (or even the 2012-13 PVM's) I'd have to go broke...especially in black
Brilliant review. I want one. 👍
You are just Awesome 👍👍👍
Probably the best review there will be about this bike. Cant wait to see the road test. They aren't really track bikes are they?
Another great review from Chris. Just wondering were you told not to do skids incase of another MT09 incident? 🤣
Test rode one yesterday and totally agree with Chris . I think for someone under 14st the front forks would need some adjustment and Triumph missed a trick by linking the anti wheelie with the T.C . The quick shifter is superb and so are the brakes and it could tempt me away from my Superduke at 15 grand . Well done Triumph. Almost forgot , more racy paint job please as us super naked riders like so show off a bit.
