Thanks for the informative video. I have a 1200 RR and after 6000 miles, it's been flawless. It's smooth, compact and very fast. It also rides and handles like a dream. These bikes are super easy to service and a joy to own. Just a brilliant design.
Really interesting to actually see inside the engine and find out more about the new design. Having ridden the new 1200 RS I can confirm it feels like a Street Triple with extra umph! 🤣😁👍
From owner’s perspective: Pros: Engine is really nice. Brakes are a very very good Dashboard is very good and clearly visible even in direct sunlight The hole bike feels very refined. Cons: The throttle pickup is a constant pain in the ass. Almost every second bike leaks oil from an engine cover. My keyless go system locked my bike and the hole system needed to be replaced. Some bikes lose the cover of the exhaust valve The navigation app doesn’t work at all. Phone connectivity works sometimes, sometimes not. The brakes squeak Wheelie control is not separately switchable.
@@nickmegadeth6633 phone connectivity got fixed with an update 2 weeks ago. Issues like this often occur with completely new bikes even with other manufacturers, look at Ktm or Yamaha recalls. In the end i am satisfied with the bike 🏍 because it is really fantastic to ride and all issues I had were fixed by triumph ASAP and without complaining. Except the throttle pickup, it bacame better within some time but still is annoying, rumors say there will be an update to fix it. The problem is caused by euro 5 regulation and occur more or less with every new euro 5 bike.
Fantastic tech put into the new bike but I have to snigger at his last comment as I can't get to test ride my potential new bike due to the fact the dealers have not got any to test ride! Cmon triumph pull your fingers out cuz I ain't spending 15k plus when I can't even get a test ride!
I loved this engine. But I rode it back to back with my friend's old (2015) 1050, which I also owned. And I kinda missed the thumpy character of the old 1050, even though this engine was INSANE. Don't know how to explain it. It felt like my 765rs bike on steroids after many trips to the gym 😂
@@briumphbimbles sorry. Wrong choice of word. Freight train like character. Reinforced by a slower revving engine. This one just shoots to the moon haha
@@greyanaroth Oh I see. Yes it certainly likes to be revved ... the problem is that half way up the tach in any gear is at or past the national speed limit :D I find my self constantly short shifting at 7000rpm but thats just when its starting to come alive. After that and its ... yes rocket like.
had the chance to ride the 1050 exrtensively and now own a 1200 RS . One thing to note the 1050 will feel slightly more punch down low due to the 1200RS new superbike style gearing. 1st gear maxes out at just under 140kph !on the 1200RS where the 1050 was about 110kph. The higher rev ceiling on the 1200 rs helps stretch out the that 140kph but its really worth taking note. btw 3rd gear tops out over 200kph
Some info where to connect a USB socket would be appreciated. And please update the display. Take BMW or KTM as example. Except from a broken thermostat and leaking gasket it is a monster and extreme refined bike for the track and road / sport touring / commuting!
I don't suppose the next episode will feature the Triumph Paint Factory? Just curious if it still exists or if every thing is now inspired by the black and grey of those surroundings...
The paint plant at Hinckley is the one area of the factory production facilities that has survived relatively intact after the transfer of all manufacturing to the three plants in Thailand. It's flexible enough to allow repainting of small batches of Thai made components for the limited runs of TFC badged bikes but is still complete enough to cope with significant throughput should Triumph decide to reintroduce manufacturing at the site. We can but hope.
Have a 2022 speed triple rs and the first 3000 miles we’re flawless. Now I have cam chain noise and my dealer says they ordered a new tensioner but do not know when it will come in. My quick shifter has decided it only wants to work maybe 20% of the time. Dealer says they haven’t had this issue before but they are going to look at it next week. I’ve been waiting 7 months for a belly panel that was damaged during shipping. Come on guys this was my first triumph and my be my last triumph.
I love the way the engine looks too big for the frame. The way the cowls above the heads stick out from under the headstock. It looks like when they went to integrate the parts, the engine was too big, so they just kind of wedged it in there and called it good. It just fits the character of the bike.
Ahora falta meter ese motorako con el desarrollo correspondiente dentro de un chasis *Daytona R* y si queréis os presto mi *Thruxton R* del 2017 con el KIT completo TRACK RACER, como moto de pruebas para ver que tal quedaría. Y si todo queda bien nos damos las gracias mutuamente y por mi parte quedamos en paces...¡¡¡AHORA!!! Si no funciona, me hacéis una TFC de esas limitadas con el número 501 y 4 retoques personalizados, y a cambio al ingeniero y al encargado de llevar este spot de Marketing a cabo les invitaré a una buen asado como profundo agradecimiento.
Have this bike and it's been in a shop more than I would like to. Going tomorrow for yet another thing. Sometimes during downshift coming to a stop kills engine while rolling at 50kph. That's at the minimum unsafe.
@Shalin not using quickshifter. I think its fueling specifically on 2nd gear . It is happening when I downshift using a clutch but I keep the clutch pulled it for like 2 seconds (lazy slow shifting) and in those 2 seconds the rpms drop to idle and sometimes I think the fueling is off and it stalls. Dealer told me not to hold clutch in for too long while riding lol. And use quickshifter . I know it's kinda long but unless I'm dropping a kick stand or pressing engine off button, the engine shouldn't stall, so I think its no normal. I'm selling bike anyways. I've talked to other owner as well who bought it this year he had different set of problems. But dealer claims there was another one who got same bike and is all flawless. Maybe not lucky
@Shalin it's difficult for me to recommend you anything. If you really want a supernaked, you have to get something you like. I can only share my opinion, this speed triple is brand new, so maybe not fully ironed out and has issues, I just personally do not like it sitting in a shop, even if it's under warranty. I'd go for Japanese, but I really like triumph touch and feel of their products, I'm actually going to buy their 1200 scrambler, it looks like a solid bike and been out for awhile. Also what I noticed with this speed triple, it's difficult to ride slow , sub 60 kph. Wrists gets tired operating throttle in range of 0 to 20 percent of the throttle. Also where I live speed limits and roads are actually pretty bad for this type of bike to enjoy fully. So hoping the scrambler would suit me more.
It’s in warranty so don’t stress ! I had issues with mine I just took it back and said I want a brand new bike or I’ll just cancel the sale, they gave me a brand new Speed Triple Rs no hassle whatsoever, it’s a special bike, stick with it bro 👍🏾☑️☑️☑️☑️
I must say, however, as a triumph owner, I'm very disappointed with the absolute lack of after market support for your bikes viz tuning etc for track use and the general lack of after market availability of parts etc. An absolute contrast in this regard is Aprilia who almost encourage you to customise the bike to make it yours. Triumph needs to really NOT nanny around customers who're OK with spending a fair bit of cash on what is very obviously purpose built to go really really quick. I mean, on one hand you make that delicious front end, and on the other the UI/UX of your electronics is SO childish. Why, triumph? Don't get carried away with being over safe. The idea of motorcycles is to be fun and there's a fine line between being safe and pushing a product that sells on the basis of how much it excites you into the "bland" territory. Don't be afraid of the spice, my friends.
I hope it’s better than my 2017 Speed Triple R ! The genuine quickshifter caused the gearbox to disintegrate and locked up the rear wheel!, luckily I was only doing 35mph and wasn’t killed. This is a know design fault but triumph washed their hands of it and kept it quiet. I would never buy another Triumph....
Mechanical Horsepower (HP) is an entirely arbitrary unit, and working with it in metric terms (kg, meters, seconds) rather than feet and pounds is simpler in engineering. Eventually everyone will use kW anyway because it's a scientific standard unit for power. Not sure why it has to be an EU Vs UK thing.
Really nice engine, really nice bike. 👍 But please stop saying how reducing engine crank inertia changes the way it revs. It's doesn't, unless of course you have the clutch pulled in. When in gear, the rate that the engine revs increase is a function of total power available vs total inertia of the bike and rider that need to be accelerated. The inertia of the engine parts is totally insignificant.
Absolutely! I’m waiting to buy the Honda NT 1100 but, if Triumph would produce a similar touring oriented bike, I’d happily empty my wallet for a touring triple!
sort of funny he is bragging on service interval of 10k miles for engine which I assume is favle clerance? 10k miles is not so imoressive these days I think Yamaha is 24k miles which actually IS impressive!
That much power u will hit 100kmph in no time... how fk can u drive a naked bike at that speed... wind blast will be torture.... with that horrible headlight design u can't get any suitable after market windshield
Bike is insane , also in fuel consuption departament. During my test drive almost 9L / 100 km. REDICELOUS! Even the duke 890 feels more powerful on the roads. In my mind this is not a great road bike. Power is to high in the rev range. Otherwise great looks, great brakes, great sus, and shock, and good price. To bad very, very poor fuel economy and ye, where are you rev it? Track? How many people really do that?

Addictive sound, insane acceleration this engine........
I had the joy of test riding 1 of these the other day and it's a great bike , I'm saving like mad now to buy 1 👍 .
Really nice to watch inside of the machine. Every manufacturer should do that.
Really interesting to actually see inside the engine and find out more about the new design. Having ridden the new 1200 RS I can confirm it feels like a Street Triple with extra umph! 🤣😁👍
Again Triumph does it again perfection on two wheels.
Apart from small fuel tank 😣

Love these videos, would love to see something similar about my beloved Trident 660...
My next bike. It’s a beauty.
Really well delivered video of the bike!! Cheers!!
Great video, now put on clip ons, a full fairing and luggage options and really get the sales going!
Stupendo! Speed triple! Meravigliosa, thanks
good job. but now I am looking to the new Tiger 1200. it will surely be a success! Go triumph💗💪

Triumph would love to hear that in Madrid, the dealership asks you to pay 50€ for a test ride.
Love it looks absolutely gorgeous & goes with plenty of power...Boom 💖💥💥💥
Thank you for sharing the details
Great engeenering
Triumph should keep in touch with its British heritage and put a sleeve valve engine in a motorcycle!
Love the bike, almost perfect but missing the electronic suspension
Can the people who gave this video a thumbs down, give their head a wobble 🤷🏻♂️ Dear me 🤦🏻

Would love to know how the r&d department study reliability… will these motors last 100,000kms?
In exactly the same way as any other manufacturer does. A hundreds if not thousands of hours of both road and bench testing.
What are the upcoming bikes of triumph in india?

Yes, the new Speed Triple transmission is specifically designed for qs/ab, and it's a narrow ratio gearbox to boot which makes it even slicker.
Why does the UK, not part of the EU(?) use PS and not HP ?
It sounds slightly better (by a couple of horsepower) if you quote the PS 🙂
Mechanical Horsepower (HP) is an entirely arbitrary unit, and working with it in metric terms (kg, meters, seconds) rather than feet and pounds is simpler in engineering. Eventually everyone will use kW anyway because it's a scientific standard unit for power.
Not sure why it has to be an EU Vs UK thing.
@@RyanJamesODonnell the English horse must have been slightly stronger :)
Is there a technical breakdown of why you can't get it into neutral anymore? It used to be dead easy, now it's a complete faff.
My 20 year old Sprint is running like a top. When should I replace her?
Great - triumph will obviously continue the original tigersport & it’ll use a 1160 engine ⁉️
