Engine braking, a problem? I use something called throttle control which works both ways. You should try it some time!
Go and buy a boring HD. Fits probably your expectations better.
Hi all , I bought a new 2014 , 33,000 miles later. Awesome and still awesome. It's so good I road the 2023, it's bigger, not sure its better? The speed 3 is a great bike, I tour on it as well, great all round. If your thinking of buying one , I think you'll be happy!
LOL, fair enough. It's fun hearing the different takes on these bikes. I have the R model 2013 and I love the shyte out of it. You nailed it with the whole "hate is a strong word" thing. I get everything you mentioned, but the only one that bothers me are the parts prices.
My list might be something like...
5: You need a special stand for single-sided swingarms to raise the rear.
4: The two up rear Pipes make it hard to use side bags.
3: Service and parts costs are higher than Japanese bikes, but not quite as bad as BMW, Ducati or Aprilia.
2: It makes great power but I wish it scared me a little more.
1: The front lights are a little funky lookin and the brights are virtually useless, unless you like looking at the trees on either side of you.
Hate is a strong word. A few of the problems you seem to experience seem to come down to what I consider as rider specific issues. I do expect that your being a heavier rider might account for this. I am 100 lbs lighter and so don't have those same problems. You are spot on about the parts- way too dear.
Finally getting a chance to sit and get caught up on my favorite motovloggers. You and Blockhead. Oh ... while we are on the subject of Blockhead ... *_DONT YOU EVER SELL THAT IRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!_*
25 years old? Dang. I'm jealous. That's awesome.
I always love your reviews. They are just ... solid, non-biased ... balanced ... well spoken reviews.
+Sharpe Trade I was curious where you disappeared to!
Hi
In regards to engine braking and bike throwing You forward - on any bike this effect is often caused by suspension setup - set Your SAG up !! soft front for the weight + to fast rear shock rebound will be the reason for this particular problem ! Just try to add some rebound damping on the shock by turning the screw type adjuster at the bottom of the shock clockwise ... If You push on the rear of the bike vigorously and it will come back in controlled manner rather than jump You will be in the right place - If You cant achieve that then Your shock oil is too old or You spring is to strong for the damping ability of the shock.
Cheers
What do you mean by feathering the clutch? I am buying a 2011 in two days so am curious about that.
Good vid, I worked at a triumph dealer a few years back, even in the uk some of the parts are quiet expensive, especially the rear brake leaver lol! I wouldn't really say the tank is so big but its short and wide, the entire bike is very short infact, they had to cram all the electrics and battery into the front of that tank because they left so little room at the back end of the bike, personally I quiet like it can really grip the tank under engine braking
I have a 1995 Daytona 1200 and the front and rear brakes are pin sharp, I can't believe Triumph have got any worse. Have you got stock pads and rotors or have you mismatched pads? When was the last time you cleaned up the rear calipers, when was the last time you bled the brakes with new fluid or have you tried refurbing the rear master cylinder with a low cost refurb kit?
I am happy with my 2015 SP3
With all these things you've mentioned in the video, I feel the motorcycle is more lively and these things add a character to the motorcycle.
Having ridden MANY bike and owned probably 70 bikes over about 50 years of riding just about every category and niche bike you can imagine for several hundred thousand miles (DIRT, Street "performance" AND touring), including racing for a major manufacturer (motocross) , really all I have to say about this video and the 5 things is WHINE, WHINE, WHINE! If you don't like this bike, BUY SOMETHING ELSE fer crying out loud!! I've lately had to whittle the herd down from about 10 bikes in the garage and the 2012 Triumph 1050 Speed triple is one for the three I have remaining...one of which is a 1970 T120R triumph in the living room for display only---not ridden any more!. Oh, yeah---the "middle one is a Ducati Supersport.
wow, you get bored of bikes really quickly, 70 bikes! :-)
@@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff Hi, TERRY! How you be?? Hey...send my your email so I can keep track of you!
Oh...and I'm down to only four at the moment and one of those is for sale. As I'm sure you recognize, we are ALL getting older nowadays!
@@donjohnson8627 Only four bikes Don, aah your only a part timer! Call yourself a biker?
only messing!
Completely agree with you Don. This guy just whines like a bitch. Buys a naked bike, then whines about aerodynamics. Says there ain't much "tech" on it? Whaddya want fella? Ipad display with sat nav and whineometer? Man, you just come across as a spoilt whiny brat.
YEY! NEW VIDEAY
Shoulda kept 'em both! I have the '17 and it has too many damn modes! But having more than a few bikes of varying qualities has me appreciating this hooligan beast to no end. I worked my way up to the Speed Triple, last was the Thruxton R (also great). It's a fantastic bike, it's just only happy when you're tearing around like a madman, and that's a good thing ;). Calmoto does a quick review on that same bike and the first thing he says is that he's glad that it doesn't have the added tech. Now forgive me for sounding glib, but you went from that in-line three, to the Harley, and one reason was b/c it was not tech enough? Perhaps a Victory Vision with all the fixings, maybe, but Harley maintains it's raw, basic form, no? I like your channel man.
Love Calmoto's reviews, haven't seen him post anything new lately though.
Hmmm maybe it’s not the right bike for you 🧐 I am 64 and just bought one of a 67 year retired guy! I absolutely love it 😎
The clutch is somewhat hard.... heavy, I don't know what you call it in English. In traffic, your left hand will easily get tiered. 😅
Good review, I am thinking to juump on speed triple (also had all kind of enduro, Harley ...bikes) as I am trying to find more “fun factor” :)
Can you tell me, how speed triple goes to tall riders? I am 6’3 (think you said you are 6’2?)
Does it looks ok? Or I will be like “monkey on bicucle “ with my size :) regards
Engine braking is a good thing . . . it saves on pads and discs!
Wind protection is going to be bad, this is good because it slows you down and helps your license. plus you don't have any screen at all.
I know you said people would say this . . .but i still had to lol
3:54 you said doo doo 💩
#ManChild #SorryNotSorry 😁
feather the clutch through an intersection, LOL, learn how to ride around in 1st/2nd gear. Why are you breaking so much with the rear brake?
I have been looking into buying a speed triple, but the bike isn't local. I am 6'1" and would like to know how the bike feels for a taller rider. Do you have any input on that?
I'm 6'2 and it was quite comfortable. Definitely more comfortable than any sport bike such as the daytona
Agree re engine braking & buffeting at cruising speed. Love the torque. What brand are your bar end mirrors?
They look like Tarmac round bar end mirrors. Ive owned a few sets, super cheap so when I bash them off lane splitting or whatever then its not big deal to buy another set
I ride a Sp3. I am 6.2” 185lbs and have an after market fly screen + bars that allows me to travel at 100mph without a lot of effort. I do agree that parts are expensive/hard to get. My guess is you’ve sold the bike by now.
Good vid!
the rear brake on my street triple is the same. I don't really care that its not great as the front brakes are awesome,.the ABS also kicks in after barely touching it which I don't love .
good review points thanks
I have this bike and don't 'spin out' through intersection even when not feathering the clutch...i don't even know what to make of that complaint, too much torque and you're spinning out? So you can't drive ANY cruiser bike without being on the edge of dumping it every intersection you go through? I'm just so confused...
I hate the on / off throttle snap...
In a turn from off to on throttle is sooo jerky even with the most minimal throttle turn .. it’s enough throw me off my riding line.?!?
I’m buying a G2 throttle tamer and I’m looking at getting it re mapped to drop some torque down low.
My rear brake is relatively good compared to my last bike (955i)
I also hate the soft ass suspension.. have tightened it right up .. but it’s still not as good as my old daytona.
Also hate the handlebars - have ordered clipons (easy fix)
Also hate the rearset position - will order some adjustable rear sets asap.
(Can’t easily trail brake whilst in the corner as the lever is too high and too far forward)
Anyways.. I’ll fix all this and it will be a weapon.!
I have the 2013 speed triple R.
I got it from new, first i didnt have the fly screen on, when i got a fly screen i hated it, so i took that off. Im 6ft and the wind was hitting me right in the chin. Torque is great but in the wet its hard to ride thats what i have found. Engine braking yes your right way too aggressive for me too, its not a race bike but still fun. Tech yes and no for me. I like less tech but rain mode would be good. Rear brake i dont really know because the front brakes are sooooo good. The tank, i was like yes a big tank=more fuel=longer rides but no. The battery is in front of the tank plus the air box, so it is what it is. But i love my trumpie.
I will buy a bike but I wasn’t sure which one to get. I started looking at Ducati monster 1200 then I saw the Speed Triple and couldn’t ignore how much I didn’t like the headlights and the two big mufflers under the seat. After two months searching for good deals on bikes at Cycle Trader I started to develop a kind of love and hate with the Speed Triple, now I kind of decided to buy it. I’m 47 years old and rode a bike on my 20’s for a period of 1 year. So the question is, since I consider myself almost a beginner should I “start” on a Speed Triple? I don’t like the idea of buying a bike now just to sell in one year also the Speed Triple I have my eyes on is a 2016 R and it comes with those riding modes so my guess is if I keep on Rain mode all the time I’ll not end up killing myself. Does it make sense? Thanks for your video.
+ARUKYAN you're definitely on the right path with the modes. as mentioned that's what I hated about mine when I had it. Even with modes though I feel it still has the potential to be "too much" the newer STREET triple would be a great option. I know a few people that have gotten them and absolutely fall in love with them.
ARUKYAN
What size bike was it you rode in your 20s?. I am your age and I was a converted dirt bike rider who went virtually straight to a Speed Triple. (I did have a DRZ400S for about a year, but that's just another dirt bike more or less). I had no trouble with the power of the Speedy. They do have a lot of power but it's very predictable and controllable in my opinion, but that's just my opinion. It could be a dangerous prospect for somebody who doesn't possess kind of a natural feel for relatively powerful motorcycles
@@eastbaymauiboy Thanks buddy, it helps me a lot!
Had a 650KLR enduro in my 20th.
I m looking for a very sporty bike with a good ergonomic. Fun, handling and accelerration over topspeed and long tour. If it would be able to go for daytrip with some breakes, it would be a nice bonus.
It should have really impessive power. ))
I m 1,89 = top 6,2 with around 100kg = 220lbs.
Is the speedy fitting for me, or is it to small dimensioned?
Thanks in advance.
@@rooney1680
My Speed Triple R is a 2013 and it's not super powerful (by today's standards) but it's got "good" power at 135hp. It's smoothe, linear and torquey. It's a REALLY nice bike overall. It does not "need" more power, buy I do wish it had about 25 more ponies. I like my bikes to scare me a little on acceleration. 😁
My bike is very comfortable and I can ride it all day with no problem.
Around 2017 they increased it to 140hp, then up to 150hp in 2018. I haven't ridden the 150hp model, but in general, 150+hp is in "very fast" territory.
The new 2021 model apparently has what I'd consider "scary power" at 176hp, which I like alot but I should maybe avoid. 😊
I'd say for you, a 2017 or later model would fit all your criteria very well. They are not small bikes. I'm also 6'2" and around 215lbs. It fits me just fine.
Hope that helps
@@eastbaymauiboy Thank you much for these informations you share.
The 2021TripleSpeed is my absolute favor. But because I didnt drove much last years, I wanna buy a older cheaper bike.
There I plan to put some protection elements on and and do explore the limits hard. (Handling on parkour and track)
I sugesst probably to buy a fz1000... its very very cheap but powerfull.. and work on my skills like I did with my dirtbikes back in the days.
And than I will be ready for the 2021 speedy. ))
My speed triple gobbles fuel like no other bike I've owned. I get like 150 - 200km depending on how wacky I ride. The engine brake for my isnt nearly as bad as people seem to say, maybe I've just got good enough upper body strength that I don't notice it lmao
Sorry mate, but none of these are issues. Engine braking is absolutely normal for a big crank like that. The clutch and torque output is absolutely perfectly measured. The biggest with the bike is the weight, it needs to loose 5kg at least.
Just remove the double under tail exhaust and weld a side exhaust under belly and you gonna lose much more than 5kg and because you are removing kg on top of the bike i.e under tail you gonna be way lighter than typical stock exhaust removal
@@DarthRevan12 I already have. It's the lump that weighs like an achor.
I have one. The engine braking really isn't that bad. Its less then my CBR 1000rr.
I own a 12 speed triple that I bought new. I’m 69 years old, 5,10 &150 lbs.this bike for me is the best handling one I have ever owned zero issues, & zero complaints. No ABS on mine and I love the no foo foo shit that it doesn’t have, I’m in control of everything as it should be for all real riders.Maybe you should buy an autonomous car.
"I'm old, technology bad"
Technology is good for no skills people....helps keep the rest of us safe.
61 , on a '15 .
Sport bike for old guys !!!
Hi bro do you know if the 2010 and older models have this amouunt of engine braking?
Yes, I have a 2007. The older ones are close to 500 pounds too so not light. I have been on many bikes and this is by far my favorite.
Engine braking can be solved by a simple ECU tune. Send the ECU to Chris more for $250 and watch how he’ll change this bike.
I'm guessing this is the one just up at Cycle Rider here in San Antonio
Yessir thats who bought it
Bike N' Bird are they pretty good to deal with,looking to get rid of my monster 696
Bike N' Bird was actually looking at the triumph, but I really think I'm gonna shoot for a used Nightster
Blip the throttle on down shift.
Feel your pain mate. Opposite problem though. Also have a speed and have an iron in the uk. The parts are stupid expensive for the Harley but the speed I can get cheap and easy new or used.
AIR CON?
I beat Donnie!
And yea, that engine braking kept making me think I was screwing something up when I rode it.
#7, there's not really much more customization you can do to it
Team Bradley damnit Donnie
I was actually the 2nd like on this video, I just didn't bother commenting because fuck those sport bikes, THIS IS A HARLEY CHANNEL. Lol.
+Koinonia man that's about as bad of an excuse as "I thought it was next weekend"
The more technology the less of a “real rider” you become. Feel the rawness of the bike. The intuitive shifting, the engine rev knowing when to shift based on feel and engine sound not because a computer tells you when to shift or what to do next. Learned on a old beater kawi 500. Learned the hard way how to truly ride. Best bike to learn on. Next to a Kawi 250.
Try rimoto for parts 👍🏼
Is there heating issues on 2014 Street Triple 1050... I could feel the heat on left foot ...
ajit pisal , here in Recife is always around 30C so... Engines are always very hot here, specially in traffic.
@@gustavocabrall Same here in Mumbai, India...Anyways Thanks for the reply ...

You said doodoo.
Use the actual Dealer network! They know what stores or warehouses have the part. Other stuff go another company. Dude I've got a Thruxton. I know your pain!
Sidebar. This bike is a beast. I am picking one up today.
Oh, advert for tshirts. Ok, I see what’s going on here.
Use the engine brakeing but you moaned about that as well
Complain about the fuel size? Why not check out the new bikes, only about 14 litres!
Please sell that triumph. And please buy a MV AGUSTA.
back brakes are a joke on most triumph motorcycles. single piston on a street triple they are only good for backing in or locking up
This such a dumb review. None of these points are valid or make any sense.
where in the title does this say it's a review? 😯
@@BikeNBird Okay it's not a full review but it is implied - he is reviewing and sharing the issues - my point is none of them are genuine issues. It's just random whining. Engine braking? Too windy on a naked? Expensive parts? What about the fact its too heavy, poor quality fit and finish and low spec from stock.
Then change your bike. This one is not for you! Hahahaha!!!
The engine break could be really bad for lighter weight people. This bike would not be very friendly in the Midwest with all the beetles right now...bug guts all over your forehead!
Helmet?
good info
🥕🥕🥕
Sell it then 🙄
Yes I think it sounds like you should be getting yourself in better shape. That would help with coping with the engine braking and also riding above about 80mph. The 1050 ST might suit you better.
