- I jumped on a brand new Triumph Speed Twin 1200 and took it out for a short test ride and I was really surprised of how strong and fun it was. Watch me ride it for the very first time and I list the specs + you will hear my own opinions about it.

I have a 2022. It's an amazing bike for the road. Instant usable power whatever gear your in. Naturally since it is a 2 cylinder it isn't as 'rev happy' as a typical naked bike but it still feels decently competent at higher revs. It handles well but if you push it really hard through a curve you will start feeling the limits of the "old school" chassis and rear suspension and it will start to wander a bit. But to be honest you shouldn't ride it that hard on public roads. And if you ever want to relax instead of riding hard this bike will easily settle down and remain tame and easy to live with. Personally I think the tires it comes with are a bit overkill.
'Sport' mode is a lot of fun when you're on your own and riding hard, giving much faster and direct-feeling throttle response that isn't electronically smoothened. But if you're riding in traffic you will find it very "snatchy" and will prefer 'Road' mode. I've never used 'rain' mode and think it only makes sense if you are a brand new rider still learning throttle control or someone who can't stop himself from using too much throttle in slippery conditions. But to be honest I strongly recommend new riders to NOT pick this as their first bike to learn on. This bike will easily buck you off.
Thanks for watching my video and for sharing your detailed opinion about the bike! I'm sure many people will read your comment and get great tips from your comment.
=)
A cool looking bike. Would love to try one. Surprisingly the rear tire is 160. :) You got my like.
Thanks for watching buddy and thanks for your like! Hvala brat
@@Darkvisor Ni problema. 😀
Very nice sounding bike,Looks awesome ⚡️
Yeah it has a nice roar =)
Thanks for watching billy
It definitely looks like a fun bike to ride bro 👍
Thanks for watching bro
Great review, well done. I have a 2020 Model and love it. I am near Angeles Crest Highway, so I do 90%of my riding in mountain twisties. Excellent handling bike.
Thank you Mr Thompson. I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed my video. Feel free to support my channel by subscribing :)
It sure is a great bike and those twisties sounds great. Thanks for watching
Very nice! Really makes me wish I could already ride my new Bobber. It has pretty much the same engine only different tune. I believe mine is called HT or High Torque version. Max speed is 160km/h so I expect it to pull in lower gears.. But we'll see.
Love that sound!!
I can't also wait for your to get your bobber. I want to see and hear what you think of it =) Looking forward to your videos.
When are you picking up your bobber btw?
Thanks for watching buddy
@@Darkvisor I need the winter to ease up a bit so I could ride her home. Technically I could do it already today, but I'm a bit worried what the salt on the roads would do to my new baby...
@@MargusMoto Riding on salty roads once I doubt it would do much damage, and you can wash it when you get home... but... I would like you, just wait. season isn't here right now anyways so why rush =)
And it will! Bobber is a very good choice
That's a great parallel twin engine. Rode the Scrambler 1200 with the same motor. So much low down punch. 👍
Sure is. Great power and loads of fun. I've tried the 1200 scrambler also, very nice indeed.
Thanks for watching Mr Bandit
Have the old version from 2019. Love it, especially in corners. Twisry roads are a blast
Sure is a great bike, thanks for watching my video and ride safe buddy!
I have a 2022 model, I have named it “the beast”. I go riding with tigers, street Tripples and even GSA’s. It can easily stay with these bikes and sometimes it is way ahead of them. Well pushing hard into corners will expose its rear suspension weakness. I am planning to install Ohlins. I recommend not to ride it too fast.
Sounds good, it sure is a great bike!
Thanks for watching my video Rajesh
Love the sound! Both from the bike, and from you when revving. XD
Sure sounds good alright =)
Thanks for watching buddy!
what a very exciting journey. The scenery is beautiful bossman... thanks for share....

@@Darkvisor you welcome my friend, stay connected. Salaam....
Man calculate all the things on the motorcycle,cool 😅
Thanks for watching and for being a subscriber buddy! =)
Have a black 23 on order. Was going for a yellow 23 Street Triple but the lady of the house could only ride my 22 Triple for like 30 minutes. Figure if i can get something comfortable for her that performs similarly to a Street Triple, I'm in! Test rode one of these, and that's exactly what it is! Stoked! Nice bike bro! Enjoy the ride
I'm happy that you found this bike so you both can ride and it sure enough is "enough" when it comes to speed and power and fun =)
Thanks for watching my video!
Thanks for it!
Very nice mate👍
Thanks for watching mate. I appreciate it
Own one and Love it!
Grym hoj!
Tack för titten
Great Bike, great Performer!
Thanks for watching Jens. Nice to see you comment again
Den ser trevlig ut! Hur skulle den funka på en längre resa?
Inga problem vid längre resa skulle jag vilja påstå. =)
Tack för titten och kul att du kommenterade!
@@Darkvisor En vacker dag så ska jag testa en sådan! Du har skapat ett monster 🤣 som kommenterar hejvilt 😆
Kul att du är Svensk. Har du testat thruxton? Hur skulle du beskriva skillnaden i hur den beteer sig i kurvor etc? :)
Good looking bike 😁😁😁😁
I think so too! Also very nice to ride =)
Thanks for watching buddy
sounds like you were underwhelmed.. 🙂
Oem exhaust ?
Hehe
Yes oem exhaust
Thanks for watching
You sounded as happy as Kenny from South Park in the Major Boobage episode hahaha
👌😂
Thanks for watching
I have one 😊. Great fun I have a meerkat exhaust (cat deleted) and sports air filter. It is louder and pops nicely on the overrun. Just love it! Also have ohlins rear shocks on order. Not planning on selling it soon! Just a couple of corrections. The exhaust is 2 into a cat (or in my case a cross pipe) then into the cans. Can’t remember the other one have to watch again. Ahh just remembered best fuel consumption I have had is 5.6 litres per 100km. Must be the weather in Australia 😇
Yeah I bet that sounds awesome. I love pops on a bike, on my old ducati scrambler I had cat removed and a slipon and it popped like crazy, sounded like gunshots =P
The homepage says: "Brushed stainless steel 2 into 2 exhaust system with twin silencers" 🤷🏻♂️ Maybe the aussie models are different?
The fuel consumption can be so different depending on a lot of factors. I used to have a Yamaha MT10 and people were complaining about the fuel consumption but when I had mine, it was much lower than what everyone said. but 5.6 doesn't sound bad for the speed twin at all. =)
Btw, I have a Dark Visor Moto Crew member from where you are, feel free to check out his channel: www.youtube.com/@anotherguyonabike4726
Thanks for watching my video mate!
Does it have stock pipes on it?
Yes 👍
Thanks for watching
@@Darkvisor your videos are cool man
@@dotdashdotdash thanks buddy. I'm happy to hear it
Self cancelling blinkers. No they aren’t. You have to switch them off by yourself.
The bike in this video is the 2022 model and it has that feature. Maybe you are thinking of an older model that don’t have that feature?
@@Darkvisor I Have 2022 model Speed Twin and it doesn't have it... strange.
@@akihelin8391 I have been googling and researching about this now for about an hour and I can't find an answer...
The manual for this bike doesn't say anything about the signals being self cancelling but however say: "signal can be turned off manually by pressing the button"
i watched my complete video material when I rode the bike and of course I pressed the button every time (I've been doing that for years and almost never forgets) so I can't confirm it.
I know for a fact that sometimes they miss vital information in manuals and or on homepages "specs" section.
it can also be an specific upgrade for the lights, a function not on standard models but an "add-on".
Or the self cancelation might be only for "usa bikes" and not europe or vice versa.
I will try to find the answer next time I speak with a triumph salesman.
Kiitos katsomisesta!
@@Darkvisor I also tried to google it but didn’t find an answer, but I certainly know that my bike doesn’t have it 😊
@@akihelin8391 check your bike settings however. On other triumph models the self cancelling feature can be turned in the menus. Maybe your bike had the settings off when you got it.
this is without cat am i right? in eu the model has cat
@@Darkvisor nice to hear in june i buy it :)
@@kobonkizuinm7028 Oh I'm so sorry. I thought your comment was on another video for a harley-davidson.
The bike in this video is original which has the cat on.
👥️

Is it female screams
no... it's my super manly screams...=P
I am to big, and tallfor this bike unfortunately
Hmm yeah seems that you tall guys have that problem with these “normal” size bikes.
Adventure bikes are big though, I can barely ride mine😆
What do you ride?
Thanks for watching warren
