Love the orange tank! Triumph nailed that color. 🥰 This will sound hypocritical because I’ve been putting tail tidy’s on a few bikes lately but I’m not a fan of the rear fender. It just seems to minimal for the bike, to me. And it needs the dual clocks. I supposed that would make it a T-120 ish bike. Ending on another positive, I loved the way it got up and went! Thanks for taking us on a ride Mr TAYM!
Morning TAYM, that's an expensive can of Tizer! And the bloody mudgaurds don't even work! 😅😅 Triumph certainly know how to charge more for less don't they!
To delete the twin clocks is one thing , to replace with an OFFSET single is a double whammy ! ... so many people dislike the offset look. Triumph clearly see the Speed Twin from the 'Performance Roadster Twin' angle rather than the 'Sporty, Performance Bonny' one and have doubled down on that look ( excuse the pun) Maybe in world markets overall it's the right move ?
I was gana wait for new Speedtwin 900 but saw a early shot of it no info & didn't like the offset clock & 1200 type seat & my OCD hated those cut outs on the tank so I went for the 2024 model 900 & now I know about what tech upgrades that came with new version like cornering ABS & Traction Control & a Sport Mode but I still would of got previous 2024 model.Those cut outs & offset clock I didn't like & the 1200 Speedtwin seat made the 900 look like a smaller 1200.I prefer the previous model seat & tank & clock & the Speedtwin 900 seat looks way better.
Thanks.The Tester was a good dude & was impressed with my wet weather riding skills & I got 100% on Full License test. It was pissing down lucky Full License test is only 30mins long. HE was impressed & said if can ride in those conditions & pass Full License test ride anywhere.
The 75min Ride home 🏡 in heavy rain was awesome really enjoyed it went back way less traffic.Was glad to get home & my Dririder all all seasons jacket weighed a ton when took it off.
Stunning bike, but what's up with the enfield clock 🫣. Bring back the twin dails please triumph. Gee, I'd just have no self-control with the right hand 😆😅🤣😂.
@iantownsend17 Don't like the cut outs in tank or single offset clock.The previous versions look better but these have better tech.If I was gana get a Speedtwin 1200 be previous model while they still for sale in Dealerships.
I just don’t think it looks as nice as the old one, all they needed to do really was update the rear suspension. Also the way they have increased the price of the standard model and downgraded the brakes, mudguards, rider modes and clocks just seems crazy to me.
Dreadful-looking motorcycle. - the tank graphics are ugly - having a single clock looks cheap - the clock being offset to one side looks odd - the gold-coloured forks look chintzy and out of place in addition to clashing horribly with the orange colourway
Clocks, mudguards, tank cut outs and nasty brake reservoir all a negative for me. Engine yummy. I’d take your thruxton anyday. Way too expensive too. I foresee all the major brands in trouble in the future with Allthe best value chinese bikes. But I would still choose a branded 2nd hand. Never had a new bike or car and at 66 never will I suppose. My old man was a car dealer/workshop and told me to but good 2nd hand unless you want to pour money away. Suppose if you can afford it why not. Costs £3500 a year at my local golf club so if it’s your hobby

Great looking machine and looks proper with a bit of grime on it. Thanks TAYM.
Congrats RR😊

All legal beagle on Speedtwin 900 now.Took the Trident for Full License test being a LAMS bike.
One of the gauges has fallen off already. Other than that, it looks really nice.

That plastic reservoir pot needs to be replaced using the type that's fitted to the T100 for example and can we have longer mudguards please.

For that amount of money, I'll stick to my Enfields..Thanks though 👍👍👍
I don't like the single cheap looking clock off the Trident and £14.5k is way too much.
Can't see the point of getting rid of the twin clocks if they are going to keep them on the T120 and T100 models????
3rd😂
