![SPEED TRIPLE vs SPEED TWIN - Did I buy the right one? [QuickTest#16]](/img/1.gif)
just loved the joy you had on this bike just wonderful to hear and see
Thanks mate was such an awesome ride! Hope to own one one day
At 8:52 I love how he passes someone who's PASSING SOMEONE!
I have 550 miles on my 2023 model and your description is Spot On!! Whata Bike!
Cheers mate! Must be a happy man on your new machine!
Love it, I just laugh everytime I watch your video as that's exactly how I reacted when I rode it. I took one out yesterday and thought the same thing-It's insane and so addictive, I'm getting one.
Cheers mate! Glad you like the video! Thise really is a top notch bike heaps of smiles per mile!!
I retired last week and next week I am going to test one of these. Your review demonstrates why I ride a motorcycle; it lets you know that you are alive and glad of it! It was also helpful to see how quickly the motor spins up, else that would have caught me by surprise! Thanks!
No worries mate! Glad you enjoyed the video!
it was good to meet you today Vinnie. awesome review too. it would be interesting to compare the 1200 with the 900 given they're about 5k less with the same beauty and refinement.
@@richardhague801 nice to meet you today aswell mate! Yeah itd be nice to get my hands on a new 900 to do a comparo the new 900 is quite improbed compared to the thruxton we have in the shop
I have 3 170cc cruisers and I wanted a spunky urban runabout, The Speed twin does the job. The power is amazing. Hit the throttle at 70 and you're supersonic in a flash.
How could anyone not just fall in love with this bike!
I dont think anyone could dislike this bike aye
Awesome mate, I’ve been wanting to take one of these for a thrash!
Great vid man 😎
Cheers bro! Such a mean bike aye! Good mix between sporty and classic I bloody love it but wont be affording one of those any time soon 🤣
Love your reaction to the ride on the speed twin priceless😎 those bikes are complete quality well worth the money pick up my new 23 speed twin tommorw can’t wait great video. Another satisfied customer. It is a forever bike. 🌴
Cheers mate! Thats awesome! Im super jealous!! Beautiful bikes
Love your enthusiasm! I have a Daytona 765 a Thruxton RS Ton Up a Speed Triple 1200RR and a 2012 Explorer. This is the first video I'm watching of yours. Liked and subscribed dude! Now to watch some more of what you got. MotoGP at Philip Island!
Thats an awesome collection mate!! Cheers for the comment!
Your reaction was pretty much the same as mine, which lead to me adding this to the stable. Brilliant bike.
Cheers mate!
Just finalized the deal on a Matt Storm Grey ST at my local dealer after *months* of pacing around, managed to weasel a test ride out of them and my reaction was the same as yours here, aaaand because of that test ride, I've got a painful week to wait before I can take delivery, but I am even more excited than I ever have been haha
Ahhh I know that feeling too well mate waiting for a bike is almost like time stops completely. Its very exciting but also annoying as you just wanna get out and ride!
Yeah got the 22 model in black 1200kl on the clock these bikes are such a pleasure to ride not great in slow traffic as it gets a little warm not a problem when on the open road
Hi Vinie I enjoyed your video... I had the same experience when I road tested the 1200 Speed Twin but after the road test That took over a hour...I bought one...Now I’m a very happy owner of a 2022 Speed twin in Orange... I love it..
Nice mate! Wish you many happy miles on your new beast!
One minute of you riding it tells me everything I need to know ! Great reviewing.
Cheers mate! Glad you liked the video! 😀
Yeah this is what I love about Triumphs. They have torque! It's not about HP and reving your bike to 7-9k. And they are amazingly handsome bikes also. Yes you have to pay for it, but built quality is top of the shelf. You will pay same price for any great quality bike like BMW or Ducati, so no reason to complain here.
Yeah mate theyre definately worth the money but they are quite expensive for the average person.
Well said there 👍
Best review of the Speed Twin I've seen, and I've seen a few as I think this will be my next bike.
Thanks mate! Means alot!! Youll love it. I will owm one one day also!
Oh man, it sounds so good. I had the same feeling when I rode their Scrambler. Can't wait to try the Speed Twin.
Cheers mate the speedy is great!
Test riding one of these in a few days and this video is adding much stoke! Cant wait
Awesome mate youll love it!
Reminds me of my test ride in 2019. Just wow! Needless to say I bought it and still own it.
Thats awesome mate! Cheers
Cracking review the torque and sound are addictive handling is very good too ive just chopped my 19 in for a 24 plate because i like them so much triumph have come a long way quality bikes 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Cheers mate!
I plan to buy this bike later this year. Your pure excitement is contagious lol. Good fun review and great bike. I can't wait to get one. It is $5000 cheapr than the Thruxton and they share the same motor and same power delivery. This bike is simply a very cheap Thruxton!!
Thats awesome mate!
Haha, great first reaction Vinnie, thought you'd like it. When I first hopped on it, like you, it reminded me of just a sportier interceptor. I'd love to see you on a thruxton.
Cheers Julian! And thanks again for the ride its such an awesome bike! Yeah thruxton next!
@@roadblastmedia my pleasure, your reaction was worth it.
I felt the same when I first test rode one. Spent the next 6 months rearranging my finances so I could bring one home as fast as possible! It's a forever bike for sure.
Too right mate! I will own one some day! No matter what it takes
To be honest,I've watched around 50 people talking shit , pretending they know how to ride ,,,only you made me wanting to buy one...Great video,,,tks
Thats High praise mate thanks for the comment! Some reviewers go on too much about specs and numbers I think how it feels and behaves is much more important!
Great video fantastic bike stay safe looking forward to more videos 🇬🇧👍
Cheers mate!!
Great review getting one July 2023 👍👍👍
Nice mate! Exciting!
Nice video mate. Well done. I'm just thinking of getting one of these... But not sure if I will go with the 2019 model or the latest one. But definitely a used one as its very hard to get new at the moment (at least here in t he UK). Also hired a RE Interceptor 650 next week for a day. I'm going to ride 2up most of the time so I think the extra power from the Speed Twin will be needed. But I really like the look of the RE as well.
Thats awesome mate yeah cant go wrong with a second hand speedy such cool bikes and most of the owners are really careful
triumph need to sign you up as official review man.i love your enthusiasm
Cheers mate!!
If you think its fun now, flash the ECU. In sport mode, when you give it 70% throttle, it gives you less than 50%. At 100% throttle it never gives more than 90%... The ride by wire tables are horribly restricted, Sport mode on this bike, is like road or rain mode on other bikes... You can unlock that with a flash in TuneECU. Also, they pulled anywhere from 5 to a whopping 12 degrees of ignition timing from this bike.
Even on a stock bike, no mods... just flashing the ECU unlocks a lot of power and dramatically changes how the power is delivered. It's night and day, and free, if you or a mate has an Android device, TuneECU and the bluetooth adapter... Takes 20 minutes...
Thats awesome mate cheers for the tip!
Fantastic Vinnie great watch luvin the speed twin it actually has 5 more horses then my old XJR so I could have the power and a lot less weight than the 4 cylinder interesting but a whole lot more expensive 😉gotta try one though cheers mate 👌👍
Cheers mate! You cqn always go for a test ride at your local dealer they sure are a very wicked bike to ride!
Enjoyed that Vinnie….1200 cc of Triumph! Bonneville T120, Scrambler and Speed Twin options to choose between! What bliss! Trade in the Daytona as a deposit on your heavenly ride mate. Why wait?!
Such a beautiful bike to ride mate! Haha i still gotta get the daytona out of my system but thatll most likely be the next move! 🤣
Great review! I was torn between this one or the Thruxton rs. At the end I decided for the 2023 Thruxton rs on Green competition colour, which looks absolutely stunning and with the same 1200cc it’s also a completely blast!
Nice mate! Cheers for the comment!
Yeah if I was a younger man I definitely would've got the thruxton, but I needed the comfort of the speed twin for touring
Great video….. I’m loving mine 🤸
Cheers mate! Great bikes!
I think I have decided on the Thruxton RS instead of the Speed twin. The reviews are insanely good. It is basically a spiced up and upscaled Speed Twin. You should do a test ride. I'll watch it 😉
Great choice mate! I will do a video for sure if i cant find someone to let me ride one haha
Lol wot can I say Wot a Reaction it's up there with your best! Maybe sell the Daytona? Great Video Vinnie 👍
Haha cheers John!
Hahahahaha love this video man.
Almost at five thousand cheers! 🍻
Cheers bro!
Patiently awaiting a ‘23 in the matte orange!
Awesome mate!
Are you up tauranga way ? Thos tall hedges on the side of the road look familiar 😊
Yeah I was for this video. This is toweard Rotorua. I currently live in the south island now though. Cheers for the comment! Youve got a good eye!
Another thing Brother , for 23k you could get a 120th anniversary Interceptor ,, AND , a standard Interceptor fitted with the 865cc big bore kit that would give the 1200 a run for it's money ( pun intended ) ,, with change for rego , fuel and WOF for 3 years .
On the instant freight train Torque , I hear you as this reminds me of my first ride on a friends 1200 EVO Harley , FFS ! torque at any speed ( Up to 7k ) but it was impressive coming off 650 Triumphs, BSA's etc . It's like a drug ,, bloody addictive !
Yeah mate too right i know where my money would go 🤣
@@roadblastmedia Me too , thats why I mentioned it .
By the way I also ride with a good friend over here ( we both used to ride together in Whangarei in the late 90's building the NZ and OZ , ANZAC Frigate's ) who has the 1200 Speed twin and I have taken it for a few rides and he rides my Interceptor and is always impressed , he say's , man this is so much like my Bonneville 790 I traded on the Speed Twin , such a nice bike to ride .
Yep , Torque is a drug , no to ways about it .
Yes, a walk around would have topped off another great review.
Yeah mate too right gutted i didnt get a good walk around
I’m a bit speechless, he said, laugh out loud!
🤣🤣 quite the opposite
Are you about 6ft was it a good fit, people keep saying it's small thanks
Im 5,9" and i found it to be a good size but the actual owner of the bike is over 6ft and he loves it so i wouldnt say its too small. I would go in to a shop and sit on one to be sure mate
@@roadblastmedia thanks I will 👍
20k+? it is 13k in the USA... where do you live?
216kg weight..I'd have to see if I could reduce the weight where I could but without losing power
Yeah fair enough mate feels very light when riding but i know what you mean
If anyone's paying $23-$24k for a Speed Twin you've been robbed. I paid $12k USD OTD for my 2022.
My bad, I heard crikey so it must be AUS lol. Sorry.
Haha New Zealand bro so works out to about 12k usd 😁
12:06- Correction. You only die once. You live every day. Do it! (Except for maybe people like RR. He has 9 lives apparently !!
Haha too right cheers Tom!
Off to see the bank manager are we mate?
I had to stop myself after the ride 🤣
You are comparing the Speed Twin with the Enfield, it might be better to compare the Enfield with the Trident which is a similar capacity and just over $2k (NZ) more, I think I know which one I prefer.
Yeah the trident is quite a different style of bike even though similar capacity its more of a naked sports bike than a heritage bike the speedy isnt exactly a heritage bike but the enfield was all i had on the day to compare it to
@@roadblastmedia I understand that the Enfield is a good bike for the money, but objectively it isn't too hard to see where savings have been made and it's power output, while adequate, is a bit wanting. I had a 75 hp Ducati 800 Monster that weighed in at 165Kg and that was a nice bike for NZ conditions, though I still found I needed to use the gearbox quite a lot to keep up good forward momentum.
@@onecookieboy yeah fair enough mate they both fit their own audience quite well i find
I see a RoadBlastMedia video, I click and like... I am a simple man. Great vids as always. ( man don't make me want a Triumph )
Cheers mate haha yeah theyre lots of fun the only off putting part is the price tag 😫
@@roadblastmedia - I just got a 2011 Honda Shadow Aero 750 and feel a bit fancy - nothing like a $20k Triumph. I love how good these bikes make you feel - awesome to see someone out there loving it like you do!
@@StratfordWingRider thats awesome mate the shadow 750 is an awesome bike! Super reliable too 😀
Wonderful, but overkill for public roads really. I will keep my R.E. 650.
Haha too right mate 🤣 very expensive too definately not double the enfield 650 so im much happier paying 11k than 23k
@@roadblastmedia I have to admit for a lot of NZ roads the 650cc is all you need and in fact probably a lot quicker in the hard twisties.
Cheers.
@@johnmartin7158 the speed twin is definitely quicker in the twisties. About the same weight, twice the power, brembo m50's and more grip.
I am not sure but I think you liked it? 😉🤣😅😂
Haha yeah i think i like this bike not sure yet 🤣
You should do voice over work for porns
Hahahahahahahhahahaha 🤣 hands down funniest comment on this video
Ohhhhhh lol
🤣 I had my fun!
I seen HIM.
Haha damn bro like Lightning today!
Back to normal I'd say.
A Triumphant effort.
A triumphant and I might say brave effort would be convincing his partner that he needs another bike.
@@daintree2455 hahahaha 😁😆😂🤣
Sweet bikes , yes .
But do you really want a 24k ball around your bank account with the way the world ( NZ ) is today ? ,
Me personally it a solid NO !
Great video , but be sensible mate .
Haha yeah mate im not going to go get a loan dont worry 🤣
This… So many mates just keeping adding toys to the garage, and digits to the mortgage..
100 BHP?!…it’s actually only 79 BHP
The 2022 model makes 98.6HP
@@roadblastmedia correct mate…my bad…got confused with the T120….🙄😉👍
Makes me want one even more as well now! 🤩😎👍
@@Tommy-Atkins haha i thought so mate thats alright its always good to keep me on my toes 😀
I have the T120. Yah there’s quite a few differences and yet similarities.
