I just bought a 2022 speed triple RS. On your point of the tech, even if I don't push it to the limit it makes me feel much safer! My last bike didn't have ABS, so having not only ABS but lean sensitive traction control gives me more peace of mind since I commute on the bike too
I just bought a 2023 speed triple RS, Baja Orange and I'm having a Blast. Yes, it is expensive but it is so good...Coming from a CB650F. I didn't know how cheap my little Honda felt it compared to this one.
@@obeii1805 The bike is great; it rides as sharply as a surgical knife. However, it had some reliability problems-small issues-but the dealer's relationship with the Triumph brand is complicated at best. It took more than a month at the dealer's shop (under warranty) to fix the simplest things, and sometimes even simple problems take over three months to resolve.
Thanks for the video. I was curious about how I would know if the traction control had come on. I have never owned a bike with ABS and/or traction control. I have about 5000 miles on mine and have felt the ABS kick on a couple of times. It is not as disconcerting as I thought it would be. I expected that I might feel it it come on and then release the brake thinking something was wrong, but it happens so quick that I didn't even have time to react to it.
OC: THink this bike is some sort of visual trickery in the part of Triumph. Looks liike a Naked, but doesn't sound or ride like one really.... Kinda, but not really.
nice the boffins are fine tuning the traction control, doesn't work on muddy lanes to well ask me how i know. but on puddles, oil spills braking you won't know you had a problem apart from the noise of it working. not huge fan of their soft as butter engine casings that mark if they are touched by a babies breath. but the rest of the package fine super fine.
You can add all of these IMU/TC features to almost any bike with the gripone iside 2 it's like 1500$ with the wheel speed sensor kit and all just plugs into the wiring harness. I wish I had the cash to burn it would be nice.
OC: Triumph definitely knows how to make a bike that'll excite you. But for 18,500 idk. Feel as if you could have just as much fun on a bike that cost less.
I agree. Don't get me wrong, it's a premium bike at a premium price but if you're just talking about fun you get spend next to nothing and still have a blast!
I got my 2019 RS in 2020 and I got it for $13.5 vs $17k new. 1500 miles on it, pretty much broken in, saved over $3k. I’m sure these will be around mid $14k slightly used
I would recommend buying used I bought one new and it’s a lot and really not worth it in my opinion I love this motorcycle but it’s not worth the price and on top of that the cost of living is insane that’s something to keep In mind
I haven't pushed mine up high in the rev range yet, but I will at some point. I do some spirited riding, but normally run between 3000-8000 rpm. That's plenty fast for me.
@@obeii1805 Yeah, I've had it up to speed several times now. Good power and smooth power delivery. Still bugs me to have the top speed limited though. I haven't had any downloads or remapping yet. Maybe someday. I figure the bike will do an honest 170mph once the top speed limiter is removed.
@@scottsspeedtriplechannel couldn’t see myself riding it that fast . But I do 90 plus every day I ride it , it get there effortlessly. I’m visiting in the mountain for work and I rip all through those rural roads. I’m so glad I got my 2019 speed rs and it’s my first bike. I ride it in sport . The bike is easy to ride and I never had any issue with the power. The engine breaking is phenomenal also
The majority of roads in the UK are twisty 2 lane roads so that is why it’s set up for that as the test riders ride them everyday tweaking the chassis and suspension dynamics for this type of road. If you want it to be an all rounder bike buy a Tiger or Trident etc 😂
@@chaseontwowheels Please get a z900 and test it out. I'm thinking that's going to be my next one and would like to know how it compares to that Triumph. I have to say the front end is fugly. I have an overwhelming urge to empty a can of Raid on it.
Exactly! I currently own a 1200RS coming from a range of older muscle and sports bikes...and this feels castrated. Takes all the fun away and is intervening too much. Even track mode is restricted, and takes all the fun away doing powerslides, even lifting th bike in 1st gear seems challenging, as traction control intervenes and takes away the power. Sport mode is pretty limited also and does not let you accelerate out of corner normally....I am not really sure for who the bike was made, as they took all of the hooliganism away with castration. I rode 2000km with this bike, and I am now determined it is going away...
This throws me back to my R6 days when SOOOO many people would come up and tell me my light had blown. Generally I do agree. I wish both lights would be on.
@@chaseontwowheels wouldn’t be a deal breaker for the triple or the r6 though. I dig both quite a bit. The speed triple might end up being my next bike unless I go with the panigale v4 s.
I don't think it is regulated except for having a headlight and taillight on when the bike is running. My 2007 Speed Triple always had both headlights on.
It allows all power in all gears in all modes except rain, but speed is limited at 161 mph, and I was in 5th gear with 2k rpm left on clock. It's a hooligan!
The lean technologies are selling points for me as a new rider. I became a rider with a family. Wife and 3 girls. Features like this are HUGE to me.

Be careful it doesn't give you a false sense of security. I suggest practise hard braking in parking lots to understand your bike better.
I have a 2013 speed triple 1050 and I absolutely love that bike.
Thinking of upgrading?
Oh i bet i really like that generation of street.

How’s the bike now n how u feel about it

Those roads are a dream
Blood Mountain is a great ride.😊
The Triumph triple slay back country roads.
OC looked like a great ride. Now how about the Ducati streetfighter v2 review?
Sport mode is my favorite!
This was super enjoyable!
I've never owned a Triumph but I'm always mirin them. Especially if there's an RS logo on it.
Bought my first one a year ago, I think my first cruiser will be a bonnie now to.

It very much is!

How do you get the rolling shots for the b roll? Is it all a camera car or a drone also? The rolling shots are amazing, looks super good!
OC: I know we are talking different styles, but how does this compare to the Mt-09 SP?
blows it away
I haven't pushed mine up high in the rev range yet, but I will at some point. I do some spirited riding, but normally run between 3000-8000 rpm. That's plenty fast for me.
U can go 90mph plus around 8k, with no stress

Yo Chase video was dope I like you doing what you doing

Fair point. UK bike made for UK roads. I can't hate on that.
I've seen videos from the UK, those are not two lane roads. They are one lane roads with a line painted down the middle of them.
The Uk roads are absolutely shocking, in Sardinia the roads are literally like new , perfect for bikes , they don’t do potholes
OC, could you do a review of the Z900 SE this style?
If I can get my hands on it I totally will.

@@CooperViolins haven’t tried the SE version, I own the -20 Z900 but I would say that you couldn’t even compare those bikes with each other
@@bjrkK I test rode a Z900 it was awesome! it will be my next purchase for sure. I'm tired of putzing around on a 700 pound 65hp cruiser
no i hate modes and aides and i wont buy a newer bike with them, i prefer a cable throttle and full control of the brakes

Bro nice bike
Sweet but I’ve always hated the one on one off headlights. Always makes me think a bulb is blown… and that’s just tacky on such a bike.
This throws me back to my R6 days when SOOOO many people would come up and tell me my light had blown. Generally I do agree. I wish both lights would be on.
@@chaseontwowheels wouldn’t be a deal breaker for the triple or the r6 though. I dig both quite a bit. The speed triple might end up being my next bike unless I go with the panigale v4 s.
Wish the US would just allow the DRL’s rather than requiring a headlight on
@@seanneilan3919 I was under the impression it was state regulated. Here in VA I think we’re good with a dlr between dawn and dusk.
I don't think it is regulated except for having a headlight and taillight on when the bike is running. My 2007 Speed Triple always had both headlights on.
It's a great road bike even if you can't use the peak power. I doubt the bike even allows peak power in 1st or 2nd gear. OC
It allows all power in all gears in all modes except rain, but speed is limited at 161 mph, and I was in 5th gear with 2k rpm left on clock.
It's a hooligan!
@@enick1121 throw a gps on it, it's actually 150 limited (161 indicated). iirc, Cuban Rider had TuneECU remove the 5th/6th mph limiter on his bike
A bike like that should have front aerodynamic wings for sure!
My home town
Sport mode 🤘🔥🔥🔥more racey then Mt 09😜and a lot faster🤙
Aside from cost..how would you compare this to new monster 937?
Monster may beat it off the line but the speedy would take it once it’s revved up and beyond.
Theres nothing I would choose the monster over this thing.
First
Triumph bikes are all just so damn ugly. It’s sad because most of them seem to be really great to ride.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love the look of the 1200 RS.
