I still love my (now very creaky) Sprint ST 1050. Wish Triumph still had a fully-faired sport-tourer in their lineup, but it's a style of bike which I guess has seen its day. Done a lot of big trips on mine, it still gets compliments from the public when parking up and a comfortable (and relatively sporty and powerful) machine to ride.
Fair play for designing a tribute bike for Evel Knievel, it would of been nicer to of seen a Triumph like the T120C TT Bonneville that he used for his infamous jump at Caesar's Palace, never the less I think he would be very proud.
On the classic Speed Twins I like the way they've hidden the exhaust cats out of sight, the bikes look just as if they have straight pipes and silencers. Not so enamoured with the Elvis and Evel Knievel special editions, I can just imagine the piss-taking if a guy turned up with his mates on either of these.
@@EpiceverythingProductions That would suit those of us with spinal issues, for sure. Can't be doing with hunched over riding positions at 60 plus years of age, nearer 70 in my own case.
@@michaelarchangel1163 I like both the rs and rr. While I think they should offer the semi active suspension on both, I really think they should have given a retune for the rr for more top end power since his has a fairing.
Triumphs more accessible bikes means made for people around 5 foot 5 and anyone taller will just have to suck it up, i have the 2300 rocket and wouldn't consider the 2.5 because it is to small for a 6.2 rider.
Current Speed Twin owners must be happy. Their bikes will be more valuable at least during 2025...the line up is terrible and with all the competition, these small cumulative mistakes will eventually start making a dent on sales.
@@logangodofcandy Even when I had a fast bike I never went over 80 mph and then only once or twice. The Enfield will hit 65 if I want but I stay off the fast roads as much as possible. It keeps me out of trouble I've never crashed a bike onroad and I aim to keep it that way. At 65 years old I really don't want any broken bones.
Thank God I bought my speed twin with the old twin analog dash.
Yeah, but upping all the suspension is so expensive

I love my 2023 Triumph Rocket 3
Active suspension on the Speed Triple RS would've been a good idea.
@@michaelarchangel1163 I thought they were giving the rs the electronic suspension this year and discontinuing the rr.

If the 'Elvis' came with an inflatable Sumo suit and an XXXL white PVC zip-up catsuit, it'd be a no-brainer for me.
where those bikes built?

Q. I believe there’s a new Speed Triple 1200 RS on the way. How come it’s not at the show and when will it launch?
Cheers
Mark 😊
All three scramblers need an X and XE model.
no comment on the bobber....are they stopping it?
It has no upgrades. It's the same model as this year, but with the orange/ silver paint.
They've ruined the Speed Twin 1200...sucha shame

Ugly modern overcomplicated crap. I'll keep my 2007 Royal Enfield 500 military. There's nothing on it I can't repair myself.
That sounds painfully slow. I'm glad you enjoy it

Also, it sounds awfully boring and cheap if it needs repairing all the time.
@@chich22 So where did I say it needed repairing all the time? It is cheap, cheap to buy, cheap to insure, cheap to repair.
4:07 What an Awful color...Looks like a Fisher-Price Design....👎👎👎
Far too much tech and gimmicks.
