Short girl vs FASTEST neo cafe racer: Triumph Speed Twin
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 дек 2021
- Finally got to ride the 2022 Triumph Speed Twin, Triumph's fastest little neo cafe racer! It's 300cc more than my 2nd bike, the Triumph Bonneville T100, and 30 lbs lighter. When I had the Bonneville as a newer rider back in 2017, I really struggled with the top heavy weight and seat height, so much that I barely rode it when I had it and sold it within a year. If this Speed twin had been my 2nd bike instead, and I didn't know the simple tricks I know now for handling a taller bike, I bet I wouldn't have struggled with it as much as I had.

Which Triumph modern classic would you pick?
I’ve never ridden a classic line Triumph yet, but in my head I want a blacked out Bonneville or Thruxton.
@@TedMechanic Hey how'd you get here before this video was public? 😛
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle It was suggested at the end of your previous video "every biker girls dream" 😅
The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE!
2022 thruxton RS ton up edition.
Love your video Doodle. What a great personality and your review of the Speed Twin is so honest and helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make and post this video!
Hi Doodle: You and Jess make me laugh when either of you get on the highway and twist the throttle hard you both squeal and giggle. I am sure for all of us it is a ear to ear grin for sure. Good video! Keep them coming.
I reviewed the Speed Twin last year. Great bike and really fast. Good job Doodle.
Man I've seen so many of your videos!
I’m 5’-6” and my 2022 Triumph Bonneville T-120 is the most comfortable bike I’ve owned over the 40+ years I’ve been riding. Thanks Doodle.
Would you recommend a StreetTwin or a T100 for short riders ?
@@lazybonemotorcycles1527 Absolutely. The T-100 is about the same height as the T-120.
I'm in the process of buying a 2022 street twin 900 for my first bike. Found a great deal on one for $7,500 and couldn't say no. Cant wait!
Doodle, you give me confidence and inspire me! I'm 5'7" and seeing how awesomly you control these bikes definitely helps me feel less anxious. I appreciate ya!
Hands down the best bike review I’ve seen. Releasing that inner child. Fantastic. If we are honest this is how we all feel on a bike.
So proud of you doodle ! Your confidence and eloquence has increased so much over the past few years. Keep it up and stay safe !
I Love the modern retro bikes too. Thanks for being a positive, energetic, inspiring younger motorcycle RUclipsr 🥰
Yo Doodle, Your laugh/giggle on the highway was was infectious I know that feeling. You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda Valkyrie. Keep the Shiny Side Up
So glad that your still showing an interest in the Triumph line of motorcycles. The first one I ever had the strongest urge to own was an early Bonneville laced into a featherbed frame that someone had sourced from somewhere. A young, newly married, sailor at the time, my wife wasn't hearing it, so my buddy sold it to someone else. Don't know about all the new fangled options for the latest one's, just know they pull hard and ride like riding on glass. Take great care of yourself, and have the best of the holiday season.
Love the Triumph fit and Finish. Awesome review. Thanks. Ride safe and ride often.
Cool bike, thanks for taking us along for the ride. 💪
Hi Doodle, you've had an amazing four year journey, and providing us with some great entertaining videos, sharing the good and difficult times along the way, and now with your ability to ride any bike, the sky's the limit. This new Speed Twin maintains the classic killer looks, and your reviews are always down-to-earth, exciting and honest, always a great watch!
I don’t know that I have the ability to ride any bike but at least I have the drive 🤪 so eventually I’ll try and figure it out!
I love that you love the bikes you try and don't want to give them back. Fun video thanks Doodle
Love to hear the joy in your voice when you are out on the open road! Keep it up Doodle!!!!!!!!
I completely agree with you on this one Doodle... Triumph took the "Classic" look and knocked it out of the park with their Bonneville series... Love those Bonneville's, especially the Speed Twin.
Another entertaining video, Doodle. Your attitude and what you do and how you present it is very entertaining, together with interesting comparisons. Thanks
Girl you are awesome your reviews have gotten so good thanks for putting in the effort on these videos take care stay safe and God bless you always 🙋♂️🇬🇧
The last run I took out in the Hills, before winter closed in, I road a bit with a stranger on the two tone green Scrambler. Gorgeous bike. He gave me a thumbs up for my V85 TT. Two different bikes. Tons of character in each.
I agree. I love the styling of Triumph neo-retro bikes.
The best looking RUclipsr on the best looking Triumph, it just doesn't get any better than that. I love my Speed Twin, I will never sell it.
SPEED TWIN #FTW
I LITERALLY just passed by Triumph Roswell last week on my way to Cycle Gear! And now I see you made a video there how awesome :) Hoping to come across a Doodle some day on a ride, great vid and safe rides!
Great video. I just picked up my Speed Twin today!
Awesome review of the Triumph bikes. Your riding is experience is so advanced now. I'm thinking of the triumph Bobber.
Love love love Triumphs, thanks for the review Caro 👍🏽🏍♥️
The Speed Twin is one of the best looking modern motorcycles.
Yipeeee, it’s Tuesday! That means I’m going on a moto adventure with Doodle and learning something new 🙌 As always, great review 😍
I am glad that you have overcome your personal shortcomings and are able to ride a larger group of bikes now. The 2K on HD was cool, this Bonnie, too. After riding different bikes I always love how familiar my own bikes feel, though!
I have the 1200 Scrambler XC, which keeps a smile on my face riding the two-lane roads of the upper-lower roads of Michigan.
Great review Doodle! I’m convinced there is nothing you can’t do, girl. Keep it coming!
WOW I really enjoy the ride! Thanks for sharing ms doodle! I love neo cafe. I owned a honda cb650r :)
I really enjoy your "reviews" .... very entertaining. THANKS for sharing!
Awesome video Doodle. Yes the classic lineup that Triumph has is absolutely timeless. I'd go for the bobber as I think it definitely be a more relaxed ride.
Yeah that Speed Twin does look timeless; well said. (Had not noticed until you mentioned it.)
You’ve come a long way from you T-100 struggles! I bought the Bonneville Speedmaster, but also considered the T-120 and Speed Twin. They are just gorgeous bikes, and like you said, are so smooth, and me thinks you need one now :)
I think with a few upgrades, this could be a good all-around bike. What I mean upgrades, I mean like a comfortable seat, a windscreen and some nice classic panniers. Then you got a nice weekend getaway bike. In my city of San Antonio, I'm part of a Triumph riders group. Most of the guys have the classic Triumph motorcycles like the T100, t120, scrambler and thruxton. The sound and the look is so gorgeous. In some ways I almost feel out of place with my Triumph Tiger. But I love the sound of my triple ❤️. Your videos are awesome! Thank you so much.
why would you want to ruin this beauty with a windscreen? and more important, why would you even want a windscreeen at all, in a country with a legal speed limit that can be achieved by bicycles nowadays? starting at maybe 110 mph i sometimes start missing a windscreen but below that there is no point in it at all.
I have a 2019 Speed Twin and it’s the best sounding bike IMHO, nice and throaty with the cone engineering shorty exhaust. I also swapped out the wheels for a set of the spoked wheels off the Thruxton, aside from some additional unsprung weight, the bike is perfect. Torque for days.
Feels like a real first ride. Enjoy the raw commentary and excitement. Not so scripted
Love my ST but I agree with you regarding the seat - it’s good for 1.5 hours of riding before bum-numb sets in.
On twisty country roads you’ll discover what the speed twin can do (With your helmet properly closed). Your enthusiasm is contagious, Triumph speed twin is a blast.
I have a v-twin, a parallel twin and an inline 4 (my fave). I have yet to ride a triple. I'd love to try one of the classic 1200's and of course the Rocket. My problem is I love all the different types of bikes but I can only have so many. So glad you overcame SRS (short rider syndrome) and can experience a much wider variety of bikes.
Fantastic!! I love my Speed Twin 😁👍 such a well-rounded motorcycle
I love how excited you get
My first and only bike so far is a 2016 triumph thruxton 1200 R
It's a powerful heavy bike for a beginner but triumph fueling is so nice that I have felt very comfortable with it
I think your Street Triple is cute, but it's mixed with smokin' beauty too. That little clip in the vid where you pulled up on it and swapped feet down 2:22. You bike looks serious, and because you're a smaller rider it accentuates the bike. .... To a past rider like myself, your bike is achingly gorgeous. (Can't ride at the moment.)
That Speed Twin is gorgeous, (but your bike is too). Your boop on the Speed Twin's nose was genius. I felt your anxiety at the last line of speech in the vid; that was a classic moment.
Amanda Zito (as the magpie flies) came up with the boop for me 🤪 she edited this video for me
Thanks for the video! Like you, I’m a short rider and used to think I had to flat foot a bike to have control. Since I learned the one foot technique I have so much more confidence and realize it’s totally unnecessary to put both feet down. The Bonnevilles do feel a bit top heavy, though. I have a 2020 Bonneville T-120, which is the same size as your old T-100 but even heavier. It fits me nicely and when I’m riding it doesn’t feel heavy at all, but pushing it around a driveway or maneuvering it into a parking space it feels very heavy. I sometimes think about trading it in for the Speed Twin, but my T-120 is more comfortable. I love the extra power and sixth gear on my Bonnie compared to the T-100, but it’s not light and fast like the Speed Twin. I wonder if the Speed Twin might be too fast for my skill level. It has the same 1200cc engine as my bike but tuned for much more power.
The torque and sound are addictive good well built machine i love mine so much i bought a new one good review 👍
Nice work. Lots of love to you. Take care and be blessed.
I own a 2020 Bonneville t120 Black but I believe the Speed Twin is the model I'd go for now.
Thanks for this! I’ve noticed that very few riders review bikes and even mention how top heavy or bottom heavy they are, so I really appreciate that you put this in your reviews! I find that top heavy bikes feel a lot different in turns and even for riders that aren’t short it’s an important factor. So thanks! I’ve had a few people recommend the Twin to me because I was looking at 700ish-900ish retro or cafe bikes. But your review convinced me that its awesome but it’s probably not ideal for me.
Keith, your friends were probably talking about the 900cc Street Twin, rather than the 1200cc Speed Twin. Big difference between them. The Street Twin is the entry level version of the Bonneville, while the Speed Twin and Thruxton are at the top of the Bonneville line (yes, the Bobber, Speedmaster, Thruxton, Street Twin, T-120, T-100, and even Scramblers are all Bonnevilles.) But just because it’s at the cheaper end of the Bonneville lineup doesn’t mean it’s not a well built machine. I would recommend taking the Street Twin for a test ride. Low seat height, great handling, relatively light weight, and thousands cheaper than the Speed Twin or Bobber.
@@PNWShawn actually they’d recommended the speed twin and not the street twin, which I know is way out of the cc range I was looking at, but was recommended due to its good looks, super heavy torque and fun ride experience, and obvious “fit” in the retro category. I’d been looking at the z900rs so this was a semi-comp. I live near a lot of good twisties so I’m mostly looking at naked bikes with handling designed for that. Street triple, Duke 890, MT-07, etc. No decision yet. I have to say, though, the street twin and Triumph’s other retros are simply gorgeous!
I would love to see you riding your old Bonneville again and see how different you feel now. I thought about you so many times when I was struggling with my top-heavy bike on my toenails. I stuck it out and I feel like I’m on a different bike almost because I’ve got the one foot down skills That I learned from watching you. I will admit however there were a couple times I was like “she’s crazy I’m never gonna be able to ride the bike that’s too tall for me”. But turns out you were not crazy you were right! Lol
Thas right! 😃
Yay! Good review. Bikes might feel a little lighter after your serious bagger trip, by the way that was awesome! Gaining mad skills. I’m a hip mover too, bikes that is🤓 On a sidenote but related I really do like the looks of your bike, was considering one in that family before settling on a ktm. Okay keep up the good work!
10:40 Hey! You missed out the Street Twin!! (My bike 🥳). Possibly the next closest to the Speed Twin but a 900 with less features. I love mine and it’s perfect for customisation. New to your channel but liking the content and subscribed. Will check to see if you bought/buy the Speed Twin, it’s a lovely bike! 👍🏼✊🏼(and apologies if I missed you mentioning the Street Twin!)
I have a 2019 Speed Twin, I love this bike and I'm happy to see you like it too. This is my fifth Triumph. I also currently own a 2015 Tiger 800 XRX. I've had a 955i Sprint ST, a street Twin, loved it, a 900cc Scrambler, beautiful bike but not exciting. I also have a super light BMW G310R with an Acropovic pipe on it. Fun bike if you keep the revs up. Glad you enjoyed the Speed Twin. 👍
*Akrapovič
I enjoy your enthusiasm 😊.
You made me happy listening to the excitement in your voice.
You're a brave soul for riding around Atlanta. I stopped riding on the road there about 5 years ago after several near death experiences on 75, 85, and 285. Be safe!
What! Ridden on those roads many times with no close calls… Whacha doing???
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle hahahah, well I used to commute from Smyrna to Norcross and too many people on the phone switching lanes without looking. If you get 30 minutes away from the perimeter, it''s not as bad, but still....
Maybe it’s just me, but the best feeling Bonnie I tried was the Thruxton. I have a preference for that slight forward lean with my weight held up by the pegs. Takes the seat comfort, or lack thereof, out of equation
You really enjoy it this ride. Nice. ✌️
I would have to say the Triumph Bonneville would be me. I had a '67 back in the day. WAAAAY back in the day.
I have the T100 Black. I really like it. I do miss a 6th gear on the highway, but I can live with it the way it is. I like the look and feel of the Street Scrambler, but I wish it was a 1200cc bike, rather than a 900cc. The bigger scramblers are a smidge too tall for me. I feel like I could handle them, but I’d have to think too much about it and work too hard. For now, I’m sticking with my T100.
This is probably my favorite bike. Together with the r9t.
I love the triumph range they all look so cool but I suppose I would coming from the uk, but lately I’ve learned that on that particular bike triumph have skimped on the suspension in other words it’s cheap so some riders are upgrading to better suspension. You would manly notice giving it the beans on twisty roads. Bit of a let down from triumph. On a good note lovely looking bike and nice finishing touches. Nice vid thanks
Very nice bike 👍🏼🔥
I just bought my 2022 Triumph Speed master from Triumph of Roswell a few months ago. You really need to try that bike. Very comfortable and you would easily flat foot that bike. The pipes sound great on it too !
Ahh congrats!
Well I did test that model to and the power is addictive and I tend to use it lol
@6:43 *Sport mode* !! Oh yea, lets test that out on the highway. !! :) Looks like you really enjoyed it. Thanks Doodle.
Your comments about the classic lines of Triumph’s models made me think of Melissa Holbrook Pierson’s “The Perfect Vehicle; What It Is About Motorcycles.” Well worth checking out if you haven’t done so.
One of the best books ever written about motorcycles
Cool, my first bike was an s40, then I got a Kawasaki versys 650 that I had until 2015. Finally got my dream bike yesterday, triple black bmw f850gs adventure!
I used to vlog sort of back in the day, if you're ever in Chicagoland we should ride!
Hi there! I have a 2013 Street Triple R just like yours, and I love it.
I'm thinking of getting a second classic-looking bike. Being a shorter ride around your height, how does this compare to the Street Triple? Which one do you like more and why?
Please let me know! Thanks!
Sign of a great bike when you don't want to return it 🤗😎😎😎 looking great on the speed twin Carolyn...💞😎
I think out of all of their new stuff, I like the Triton 660. For a classic look, the bike for me right now is the xsr900, but in the 2022 with IMU and cruise control.
Great video fantastic bike stay safe 🇬🇧👍
How would you rate the speed twin vs the street triple? Ride , comfort , torque, flickability, etc?
beautiful bike
If i had to choose one of the modern classics either the Speed Twin or the Bonneville. I was looking at possibly getting a 2022 or left over 2021 street triple for a 2nd motorcycle this coming spring.
Thank you
You sound very happy! Good for you! Ride safe ok!!! 👍💖
Heya Doodle
You refer to yourself as a petite rider. Very useful finding your channel as I'm on the smaller/lighter side of life too. It gives me a bit better idea of the size of some of the modern bikes around these days.
May I ask, what is your barefoot height?
Many thanks. Take it easy.
Cheers.
You are enjoyable to watch and listen to.
Very good combination.. 👌👍😍
Hello Doodle. Did you ever do a review on the Road glide ??. Have a happy New year.
It’s comin’ out next Friday! 😁
Doodle
Yes, there are Triples and 4 cylinder bikes but the is nothing as nostalgic as the British Classic Twins!! I will NEVER sell my Thruxton R, ever. Now that you are way up the talent chain you can appreciate different bikes. There's nothing like just putting along and then twisting the throttle for that fabulous rush of torque!! I cancelled my HD Pan America order and I'm trading my Tiger 1200 XCX for the new 2022 Ralley Explorer. Next bike in the spring is the Speed Triple RR. A true 21st century version of a Cafe Racer.
Great Video Doodle!!
Ride SAFE and BE safe Lady!
🙌👏👏👏👏👏👍✌👌🖖🤙👋🙂🌹
Ooooh snap!!
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle My triummph dealer has 3 new Triumph 1200's earmarked for me. The GT Pro , The Rally and a Rally Explorer. I chose the later but all are mine if I chose which one I want.
Hi, thank you for sharing. The speed twin really suits you - did you buy it? :>)
I'd like to see you try a newer MT-09. Best triple naked you can buy!!
I have been riding my Sprint since 98 and have crossed the US and Canada. Its a tripple 900 and is amazing on the highway but even better in the twisties. Like you I am a short woman 5.6
Great video😊love your content. May I ask what gloves are you wearing?
Everything is in the description :D
Are you going to review your experience with the HD PanAm. We saw you in Her Two Wheels review (,background)
Love Trumph. First bike was a 63 Bonniville TT Special in Alaskan White.
Yes!
It's amazing how much even a tiny windscreen helps with the wind.
Oooo Bonneville Speedmaster is my next bike. Like 95% sure.
Wow! I’m just down the road and didn’t even know there was a Triumph dealer in the area. I see bikes parked there all the time and always thought how strange it was to have a biker coffee shop.
It’s new!
That *boop* was so funny.
It was nice to see that short clip of you and Charlie the S40
Charlie!!!!!!!
hey there :) i have the 2020 SpeedTwin . Loveeeee her :)
Just look at that headlight..."boop." I enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Bonneville Speedmaster for me......the most comfortable seating position I've ever experienced....but...make mine in a dark ruby red metallic with a nice clearcoat.
Nice video, is a good bike for commuting honestly? daily use (comfortable) and weekend touring, of perhaps recreation purpose? or comparison, is this better on your bike?
street triple 765 is better for daily use, it is wise to jump from naked bike ( mt09) to this classic for daily use
Any way great video
Be safe
my first bike was the street triple r--I loved that bike--does the speed twin accelerate as well as the triple?
StripleR feels faster at accelerating
Waiting to see you in Honda Goldwing 😍
Something that I've noticed in every video review of this bike , when the reviewers twist the throttle , without fail, whether they are male or female, there's a reaction like " Woo-hoo" and some giggling. It's genuine , and tells me way more than any data and figures do about the bike.
You should watch youtubers on the Rocket 3😊
