While on vacation, I took a video of a drive around the Hoover Dam. No motorcycle in this video, but it was spectacular enough that I wanted to share it with my subscribers.

Triumph Speed Twin 1200 - Raw Sound Sunday 103
Think you have the right idea in mind but this is not exactly ASMR. I hear a lot of wind and chain noise, less exhaust. The mic has to filter out these noises and be close to the exhaust.
Best I can do. 🤷🏻♂️
Il y a un frottement anormal
Vous avez peut-être raison!
Awesome. Man, I can't wait to ride again! PA is so damn pretty!
Indeed it is!
I love the sound
Me too! It's intoxicating when the motor is really singing like that.
😊
To me, the dial gauges suggest a high-quality watch or expensive analog instrument gauges. Unfortunately, they're angled such that they're difficult to see in bright sunlight.
I haven't found them to be tremendously difficult in sunlight. Much depends on your helmet visor, I guess, although I use a clear one. The dials are definitely a premium feature.
Awesome bike. Where is the gear indicator located on the dial?
It's on the left side of the LCD display on the left dial. Thanks for tuning in!
Sounding very good! Beautiful day for a ride.
Indeed! Thank you for tuning in 👍🏻
Don't blink.
🤣
Very cool, gotta get out there someday.
The whole area around South Dakota and Wyoming is amazing.
@@TrekkieMoto Sure is!
I have a 2019 model. Yes! Marvelous bike. Thanks for sharing 😊
Absolutely!
Where in PA are you? I’m out by Pittsburgh with my ‘19 Speedy.
I'm in Chester County, an hour west of Pennsylvania. Speed Twins are wonderful bikes, aren't they?
@@TrekkieMoto outside Philly? Yes I bought mine new in ‘19 and modified it. The newer model is nice with the usd forks but I have fully adjustable cartridges in there.
@thecappy Mine is still stock, but I'm hoping to upgrade the rear suspension with something adjustable in the near future.
@@TrekkieMoto The he forks make the biggest difference. I have ohlins on the back. Decatted and tuned also.
@thecappy Yes, I'd like to do a cat delete as well. It sounds like your steed is a weapon!
I also love mahh Speed Twin i ride it pretty hard in the pretty small twisites here with sharp corners n such. Need new tires soon
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I would never willingly ride my beautiful Bonnie on such roads. Well, you got up and carried on riding, I presume?
I did indeed. I had no idea I was going to be riding into deep gravel until I got there! I'd never been on that road before.
DEWD. How much do you weigh?
Almost as much as the bike. 😳
The parts manager at the Triumph Dealership here in Escondido, California said to me on a recent visit: "have you seen the new Speed Twin? It'll knock your socks off !!" I respect his opinion; he's an amateur m/c racer. However my Bonneville T120 that I purchased new in 2022 has about a year of payments to be made before she's totally mine. $15,000 was the price I paid. And also, I'm somewhat miffed by the welded-on Cat Conerter on new Triumphs. I paid a shop $600 to decat my Bonnie & replace it with a cross pipe. Any performance upgrades in California are a challenge to make happen because of the stricter clean air laws here. Maybe, I'd consider an older Speed Twin in the future.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Agreed! good resume I hate the mirrors! Really.. I need to change mines.. I preffer the standart position
Thank you for watching!
so was this with the Insta 360x4?
Nope. I have not shot with the new camera yet. The first video with the X4 will be ABOUT the X4, probably in a couple of weeks.
Riding in the U.S. on a Speed Twin 1200. I have a 2019 model. Love it. Get some!
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Had mine a year from new. It's a keeper. Bad points is a short list: Weight (I'm old!); turning circle; rear access (chain, swingarm etc hard to get to for daily chores). Think that's it.
I would agree with those.
Great video! What crash bars do you have installed on your speed twin?
Thank you! The crash bars are the standard Speed Twin "dresser bars" from Triumph that I bought with the bike.
Creek road is my go to route! It’s absolutely fantastic
You can usually be sure that any road named "Creek Road" is going to be a banger, and this one is no exception.
Beautiful roads I need to take my bobber thru there
It'll definitely be worth your while.
Got one too... have open shorties on them - sounds great especially on the over-run!
Yeah, the little crackles and pops are just 😍
THE BEANS!
Indeed. The mighty power of, er, the little 400cc green hair dryer.
I've had mine for a year now. Other than being a little buzzy at higher rpms it's a solid performer. Docile up to 3500rpms then accelerates like a rocket. I ride the freeways in SoCal. 80, 90 sometimes 100. It wants to GO.
Absolutely. The Speed Twin loves to fly, but it also has good manners in the twisties.
Only 60 miles an hour ? Didn’t u take it out of first gear?
Naturally, I would never DREAM of exceeding a limit imposed by the fine individuals at PennDOT. 😱
Excellent in the wet weather 🇬🇧
I prefer to ride when the weather is nice, but they certainly seem to have excellent grip in the wet.
What’s that background revolution noise ? Wheels rubbing ?
It doesn't seem to be. The placement of the microphone picks up a lot of noise from the rear sprocket and chain.
Well mate u made a balls of that one! U mentioned it weighed 450 11b, did that mean u or the bike ? Glad ur ok to ride another day ride safe!!!
The bike weighs 450. I weighed another 420 on top of that. I'm happy to say I have had no further tumbles. 👍🏻
Felt really sorry for you but please try to loose weight your only a young man and I don’t want you to have A premature heart attack, I’ve lost to many friends and family in the past Ride well and be happy !!! @@TrekkieMoto
Thank you for your concern. Currently on a weight loss program so keep watching!
This doesn't sound half bad! An enjoyable ride to watch. I do hear the drivetrain noise you mentioned, which I get in my recordings too, and I'm thinking some of that might be reaching the mic directly through the fender it is attached to. I think a good experiment would be attaching the mic to the outside of a backpack; less convenient to use than the fender mount, but might help with isolating the exhaust note.
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I don't normally wear a backpack but maybe I can come up with some sort of belt arrangement. I like having its stereo sound, but the TASCAM DR-05X isn't really very convenient when it comes to mounting options. Thank you for subscribing!
Sounds like a washing machine
Goes like a rocket ship
Why on earth do you keep blipping the throttle when the bike is stationary? There's a throttle stop built into the throttle body which is carefully designed to keep the engine running at the optimum idle speed. I suggest you familiarise yourself with it. 😂
For no other reason than it feels really satisfying to blip the throttle. 🤷🏻♂️
@@TrekkieMoto Good answer!
we love the sound of our toys and want to share that love.
Yes!
This is good! Right now it raining and 48 ° outside so this works! Love those fall colors!!
The next two Sundays will feature more spirited riding. 😉
Did u clarify 1200 or 900cc? (Later, I noticed the twin front discs of the 1200.) I had a 2017 T120 & now considering a T100 or Speed Twin 900. What are your thoughts?
When this video was made, the Speed Twin 900 was called the Street Twin. If I had to choose between the Speed Twin 900 and the T100, I would definitely get the baby Speed Twin because I prefer the way it looks. Cheaper too!
Beautiful fall colors. Cheers from California😊
Thank you for checking in!
Always enjoy these. Especially when it's too cold to ride.😊👍
Thank you for watching!
Man I can't wait for spring to ride again.
Me neither. We're basically done this year.
Unfortunately, I guess I'm waiting in line here. Come on spring!!
Winter's gonna drag on for a whole season 🤣
Always enjoy these videos! Love the changing colors on the trees too. Looked like a great day to ride!😊
Indeed it was. I'm glad you enjoy these. 👍🏻
Is it the stock exhaust?? It sounds like heaven😌
Yes, it is the stock exhaust.
I love these videos! It's raining outside so I'm riding with Trekkie today!😊👍
I'm glad you like them, buddy. The next few of these have a nice fall foliage vibe.
Very jealous indeed! Wanna ride sooooooooo bad
Nice
The exhaust burble when the throttle is left is nice though 😊
I like it too. I'm thinking of deleting the catalytic converter and putting an x-pipe in its place. That may enhance the burble!
It's got quite of bit of gearbox whine
Yeah, it's always had that. 🤷🏻♂️
5000 USD is £4000 , but the speed 400 on their website shows to cost £5000 in UK . I hate when they always equal the price in UK to the dollar.
The same bike costs less than £3000 in India, where it is made. 🙄
its half the price in india. Like as per us dollars its 4 lakh rupees but its starting from 2.33 lakhs in india.. its a joint venture with an Indian company Bajaj maybe thats why and the inhouse manufacturing.
Looks like I finally made my choice for my beginners bike.
Which one? The Speed 400 or the Scrambler 400x? I already have a Speed Twin 1200 and so I'm sort of torn on which one I would get.
@@TrekkieMoto the 400X because it’s got a higher seat height. At 6ft 2 I think it would be better for me. She’s not that bad a looker too. That green tank with brown seat nice combo.
That sounds like the right decision. 👍🏻
Look like fun ❤
I can't wait to test ride one.
too small capacity for big US open roads. Unless someone lives in a village and doesn't move much
I disagree. Like bikes such as the Ninja 400, the Duke 390, and the Svartpilen 401, they are plenty capable of keeping up with traffic and have enough weight not to be blown around too much.
Highways (motorways in Europe) are the most boring bit of motorcycling.
True!
These have 40 hp, which is just seven less than the Royal Enfield 650cc twins that are perfectly highway capable. Heck, I've ridden a BV 350 scooter from White River Junction straight back over the Canadian border once on the interstate. Stick to the right hand lane, let the others pass you, and you're fine. This is precisely the sort of bike that is perfect as a city/town commuter while also capable of doing short to medium expressway hops to get onto the country roads.
I’m loving my Road 5’s so far.
Nothing like going for a ride virtually, when it's raining cats and dogs outside!😊👍
Glad to be of service! 🫡
