I've got a speedy S on a 67 plate. I'm pleased with it. This is my third triple since I came back to riding bikes again. My last triple you had to adjust the throttle cable but now it's good triumph upgraded to a ride by wire system. As long as you ride your S it will always put a smile on your face everytime you ride it. Enjoy and safe riding.
Thanks for watching and commenting! It sounds like you are definitely a Speed Triple fan. They’re great bike’s aren’t they. Keep safe and keep smiling! 😁👊
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Thank you for your comment. Yes I am a fan, I used have a couple of old Triumph triples the T150. When the revs of the new speedies increase the sound is unmistakable. Yes likewise keep smiling and take care fellow biker 😃👍.
Very proud to have been part of your journey to triumph dude! 😇 Awesome vid as always and I love your bike as much as you've loved mine 😎 Very excited for our next ride out and your next comparison vid too x
Sorry for the late reply, I missed this comment! 😩 How awesome, I’m sure you will absolutely love it. Let me know how you get on! Thanks for the kind comments btw 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones I now have a Triumph Bonneville T120 and I’ve cleaned and polished it, used ACF50 all over it as per your video’s on the speed triple and I have to say it looks amazing. Thank you.
Amazing, congrats. Just shows you are never too young to have fun. It’s such a comfortable bike isn’t it. Have a think about doing your RoSPA or Iam advanced riding, it’s well worth it. 😁👍
on my 2nd 1050 , seems I couldn't live without one ... rode the 1200 and found a bit too manageable. 😆 (great test ride ! unescorted, 45 min routed on some nice roads) currently on a '15 abs model , pipe and tail tidy. looking at quickshifters $$$
I've got exactly the same bike. I used a lowboy SC Projects can and have the mods you've mentioned. The sound is very similar to yours. You'll find the Evotech tail tidy and Triumph seat cowl gives the bike a sleeker look IMHO. Enjoy. Cheers from South Australia.
Awesome, I bet it looks wicked with the lowboy SC Projects too! I would like to add a seat cowl and make a few other modifications but funds do not permit right now, one day! Thanks for commenting 😁👍
I've got an old 2004 speed triple, 2nd one. Love them, I always get people comment on the bike it's a real talking point. Proud to ride triumph. Will upgrade one day.... but will be a speed triple.
Cool bike Paul, I’m sure you get lots of people taking to you. I hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane seeing the time line. Which Speed would you upgrade to? 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones yes the trip down memory lane, you skip the late 955i though. budget won't allow the 1200, the 1050 rs will be a good buy now I think. Well once the 1200 are more common.

Very informative video and your bike is looking fabulous. Turning circle? Ha, try my Ducati Diavel 1260s with its long wheelbase and you won't complain ever again.
I have a Triumph speed triple r 2018 4000 miles mint condition never been in the rain. beautiful looking machine fantastic engine. but it doesn't have the quick shifter but dose have a clunky gearbox when put in to first gear according to Triumph it is quite normal. but apart from that brilliant.
@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Hello Phil. Bike has just covered 4000 miles from new got it from KC super bikes Carlisle last September. had bikes all my life I live in barrow in furness Cumbria. my bike only used in summertime mainly but will take it out in winter months providing roads are dry and no salt just to keep it healthy. I don't go far with it mainly just around barrow in furness and surrounding area. love this bike build quality is amazing considering it was made in Thailand. won't be bothering with a quick shifter as a added expense I don't need and gearbox is fairly quick to changing up and down. I have subscribed to your excellent channel.
@@allanfoster5418 It sounds like you live in a lovely area and will certainly have fun whizzing around in the warm weather, and why not! 😁🙏 Thanks for your support and encouragement, much appreciated! 👍
Thanks! Good luck with your search for a bike and hopefully a Speed Triple. Good question 🤔 There are certain maintenance services like the 12,000 miles service which isn’t cheap, I’m not sure exactly but I believe it’s around £700 from a main dealer. From what I’ve heard most manufacturers, ie. Yamaha, Suzuki etc. would charge a similar amount. I and my ridding buddy who has a Street Triple have used a mechanic who works from home but he did used to work for Triumph and knows what he’s doing. Maybe phone around and ask on social media if anyone can recommend a mechanic in your area, that’s what I did. Perhaps I’ll make a video about my 12k service? Good luck and let me know what you get! 😁👊
Great video Phil. I’ve got the 1050 S on a 2018 so final model of 1050. Be very interested to see if you can notice any difference in the suspension on the 1050 RS on the road for your next video. Reason I bought the S was largely down to colour scheme - I just love the jet black on the S and dislike the mat finish and stripes on the RS although accept its the better bike in theory from the specifications on suspension and lean sensitive TC. I also only ride on the road. Your bike looks amazing. Where did you get the Union Jack emblem/ sticker as looks fantastic.
Thanks for the kind comments and sharing your thoughts on your bike. I will definitely be comparing suspicion and ride in my next video. You’re not the only one who isn’t totally impressed with Triumph’s limited options on colour schemes. The bike actually had the Union Jack fitted on the bike when I bought it. Although I went over the bike removing stickers, I really liked this one and it had to stay! I’ll see what I can find and let you know! 😁👍
I really like your bike and the color of the bike, what color is it? Jet Black? How tall are you? I'm interested because I'm 193cm/6'3" so I don't know if it would be small for me....
Thanks, it’s a great looking bike isn’t it! It’s called Phantom Black. It has a pearlescent in the paint which you only see when the sun hits it. I’m 5’10.5” You might find it’s not too small, try one for size. Let me know how you get on! 😁
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Hey Phil, I like how the round headlights have aged well over 2012 -15 models, the winding sound from the triple but more so the simplicity of the bike. Not as quick as the 1050 but it does like to scare me every now and then 😅 which is why I love it!
@@Simon-pn7oe I agree the Round headlights look awesome. It’s certainly not a slow bike that’s for sure!? I have to ride it in a different way to my Speed, but I do love the old Street! 😁👍
Great video Phil I own a triumph speed triple rs and triumph speed twin looking forward to the comparison of all three speed triples stay safe looking forward to more videos 🇬🇧👍
Thanks for that. After have been testing almost every option here in Brazil, except the 2016/17 1050R wich is rare here, while planning my next upgrade, I've found out that, for me, instantaneous torque and agility it's more important. And as you said, the 765RS lacks it in low and middle revs, compared with my 2012 F800R and its 8,8 Kgfm, most of it available like almost always, except in higher revs, where its 87 cv limits the fun - just a bit, in fact, cause I'm getting older, smarter and slower, that S.O.S. stuff. It's like the opposite thing of the 765RS! So, I'm prone now to get a 2016/17 for my next bike, unfortunately the last Speed Triples wich came for Brazil. I guess it will check all the few boxes to update my ride; just not sure about the agility, cause the 1050R is heavier than the F800R and the 765RS, wich have similar weights. Just have to find out if this weight difference will really be so punish for the 1050R. Thanks for the video, and best regards.
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Thanks mate. Please, let me know if the extra weight of the 1050R over the 765RS drains out much agility of it, or if it's still nimble. Best.
@@antoniocarlosacsjr7128 I don’t throw the bike around too much and haven’t ridden the 756 RS on track, but the 765 is more flexible than the 1050, as you would imagine. That’s not to say that the 1050 is more than capable on track. It depends what you ultimately want to use the bike for, if it’s track days, the 765 RS may be the best option.
Thanks so much! I’m afraid I can’t, I have no idea tbh! The throttle mapping between each riding mode works really well, if you’re a smooth rider you can keep it in road mode in the wet and the bike won’t twitch but there’s no harm switching to rain mode to play it safe! 😁👍
I've got a 2010 Street Triple 675 and im wondering about moving up to a Speed 1050. The turning circle on my bike is also pants. I was quite shocked but I just got used to it. What made you go for the S over the R? I'm guessing the Showa suspension on your bike is fully adjustable?
Have you seen my video about my besties 2011 Street Triple? What year Speed Triple are you thinking about? Yes the Showa suspension is adjustable, I made sure mine was back to the factory default which is set up for road and it works great for me.

@@viowithcrailtap I love my 2016 especially as I’m not a fan of the TFT dash. If I was to change I’d seriously think about an RS with cruise control, a quick shifter and a touch more power, and then a respray! 😊

@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Sorry, I don't get notifications and I just happened across your video again. To answer your question, both of my bikes were stolen in March. I loved my 2016 Speed Triple R, never would have gotten rid of it. I also had a 2012 Street Triple R, black and gold. I really enjoyed that bike, too, but it just wasn't quite as nice as my Speed.

@@kwisclubta7175Hi friend. Just shocked about your stolen bikes, and knowing you are not in Brazil, cause the last Speed Triples here were de 2016/17 R ones. By the way, I'm planning to get one soon to update my ride over my 2012 F800R, wich I love and is my second 2012 one. Unfortunately, I've never rode the new Speeds, but only a crappie 2009 unit. Can you tell me if the 2016/17 R models are significantly heavier while riding comparing with the 765RS? I've found the 765RS nimble like my F800R, but lacks a lot of low and mid-range torque. I'm sure the Speed Triple will have the punch, but will it still be nimble enough? Thanks, and best regards.

By the way, I'm planning to get one soon to update my ride over my 2012 F800R, wich I love and is my second 2012 one. Unfortunately, I've never rode the new Speeds, but only a crappie 2009 unit. Can you tell me if the 2016/17 R models are significantly heavier while riding comparing with the 765RS? I've found the 765RS nimble like my F800R, but lacks a lot of low and mid-range torque. I'm sure the Speed Triple will have the punch, but will it still be nimble enough? Thanks, and best regards.
