- Triumph STREET TWIN Review! Join me for a first-ride and review of this middleweight Bonneville roadster from Triumph. The Street Twin enjoyed an update in 2019 with an 18% power increase raising engine performance to 65bhp and an exciting 80nm of torque. With a low seat height, wide bars and a high-quality finish, the Triumph Street Twin is a user-friendly stylish bike, great for beginners, that you’ll love to ride and explore on.

The great thing about this motorcycle is that when you finish a ride then you really can’t wait to start the next one.
bought mine three weeks was out on it for the first time today and after returning to riding after 20 years the experience was soooooo much better than the bikes i used to ride am totally in love with this macjine glad i bought it
We bought this bike for my wife, i personally have a BMW RnineT tuned to the max and a BMW HP4 with 202HP and i catch myself wanting to ride my wifes Street Twin the most. Its just so relaxing, easy, it doesnt push you, it is just enjoyable. The motor is more than capable enough, the sound of the twin is super nice. I love this "little" machine!
Thanks for this review, top notch. I have a 2017 model and I adore it. It’s not for sale, it’s mine forever. Love the torque, laid back easy handling and compact dimensions. I got over obsessing about the numbers, and comparisons with others years ago. For me it’s plenty fast enough and I don’t need any more.
I have a 2017 as well, you summed it up perfectly 👍
@@twinphill900 So have I. Test rode the 2019 model with a view to upgrading but couldn’t tell any difference so I’m keeping mine despite the possibility of the wiring disintegrating and gearbox exploding as some reviewers are saying.
@@user-rf9me7xm1w mine had the recall for the wiring harness, the gear box is fine. I just take my time through the gears and enjoy the ride and bike for what it is. It's a cool bike,keep it 👍
All these positive comments are edging me towards a 2017 model with a low mileage, 8k kms. Trading in my big Italian 04 Aprilia Caponord for a lighter everyday bike. But what about this thing with wiring harness? Hvnt heard about it in the other discussions on the same model elsewhere. Appreciate if any one can clarify this issue
Hello, just come across this review ceen a 2017 at a dealer with out gaiters, but with a chip guards flat seat going for 5885 3,500 miles
I am seriously considering this beauty for my half century celebration. Always had a soft spot for Triumphs, and i like good natured classic designs. Maybe it is time to get one...
Bought mine a couple of years ago, Great, still love it. 5 11 I was worried it might be to low.
Not been a problem. I ride long distances regularly. I’m ok after 800k day.
Perfect old guy bike.
I have one too. On long rides, I have stood up at times.
Perfecta moto de viejo, como yo, lol.
Street Twin (Now Speed Twin) is the literal definition if Sleeper Build..
Dream Bike…✨
I just bought one 10 days ago it is the most forgiveable bike ever especially in traffic rush hours in istanbul👍🏻
Thanks for the review Eddie and for braving the cold! I'm late to the biking world having raised my bat for the half century. Passed Mod 1 in Dec. and was about to take Mod 2 when lockdown happened. In the interim period I'd bought a 2020 Street Twin in black (blacked-out mods with slightly off-road tyres, bench seat etc). Love it, but since 21st of December it has had little or no use - so frustrating. Watching your review just makes me want to get that Mod 2 out of the way so that I can blast about without a bloody care in the world.....
Wishing you all the best to getting your Mod2 done, Haig! Hopefully, as the lockdowns ease with the weather it will be a perfect time to get riding again. Your bike sounds awesome! Love the ‘tough’ dark look on the Street Twin.
Just passed my cbt and hopefully the Street Twin is the one I want
Wait til you try one with the optional Fox shocks & better road tyres 👌
those are my next upgrades
Thinking about upgrading to the Street Twin from my Yamaha R3 (2020) back into riding after 35 years, I think the Street Twin will suit me better. Just waiting for the bikes to arrive in Australia, where we can ride everyday of the year... well almost :)
Mine is a 2022 Street Twin, so this is the 2nd summer I am riding it. I bought it largely because of this review! Thanks again Eddie!
Speed Twin 900 Review
I just got a Speed Twin 900 as my 1st motorcycles 🏍️. It is absolutely awesome, I am 45 years old, 5ft 8inches.
This motorcycle has
Great 👍🏽 Ergonomics to sit and drive
High Torque which makes it FUN to drive
Easy to handle
Superb Sound better than the 1200
Best Looking ❤
I even rode the Speed Twin 1200 but it was very warm and hot 🥵 near legs 🦵 and the ergonomics are better on 900 than the 1200
Thankfully the music and professional spiel was binned for the ride impressions
Stick with these vids man! Nice to see some quality content!
Thanks, Taylor - I'm glad you enjoyed it! Support like this keeps me going! 🏍💨
I am looking to buy my first street bike ( rode a few dirt bikes long ago ) but I think this bike is ideal ! You’ve really inspired my interests in this classic and timeless British icon 🇬🇧
Since I was a young child , I remember my older brother had a 69 Triumph Bonneville 650 , and I’ve always longed for one like it . My other brother rides a Harley Sportster 1200 , he’s always trying to talk me into buying one , but I’m gonna roll up in his driveway on my Triumph Street Twin and make him jealous lol 😂
I won’t even look at other bikes , Triumph is it ! There is a new Cobalt blue for 2022 ( and a gorgeous limited edition Goldline ) if I can get one ordered I’ll do it . Thanks for the video , I hope to see more !
Hey Bruin, thank you for taking the time to comment. It's awesome to hear you're inspired and going for the Street Twin. The new Cobalt Blue one looks 👌🏻 and the Goldline... well, good luck getting one! Please let me know if you do! Ahh I bet your brother will be asking to the ride the Triumph when you roll up on it! 🏍
Try trident also
@@EddieSetGo I have a Gold Line on reservation with a deposit. Waiting to take delivery in June 🙂
What a beautiful machine !
There is a clock! Go through the options, Trip1, 2, mileage, rev counter and also clock. There is no temperature though...
Modern technique, retro look and feeling = Triumph ♥♥♥
Good review, the Street Twin is excellent bike made for the road. Not too fast that you'll get into trouble, but handles well. Just a quick point, I think there is a clock if you scroll through on the display. Still won't help with a bathroom break though....
Ha! Thanks for the heads-up Dave! ;) not having the clock dispayed, made the ride better I think. With all the cloud cover in the UK and not see where the sun is, you can easy lose track of time!
have the same bike in jet-black and love it forever !!!
I've just bought mine on Saturday after test riding it along with many others.(ducati monster, stramvler, mg v7, yam xsr700) It was the first of those bike that put a smile on my face and I signed there and then. Now I have to wait a month 😭.
Thanks for this video. I m so excited now after see it.
What’s your update? Enjoying it?
Most enjoyable review Eddie, I think you covered all the bases. Kudos too for riding in the freezing cold! Now I need to go & remind myself what you said about the Speed Twin...
Thank you, Hugh! Yes, those heated grips worked a treat! ❄️🥶
I have an '18 ST, decat pipe, V&H mufflers with the dB killers removed, DNA air filter, Booster Plug, and a 6-piston front caliper. Bike is great to ride, has smoother and powerful acceleration, doesn't pop or bang on decelleraton, and the 6-piston brakes inspires a lot more confidence than the OEM 2-piston. It's not an intimidating bike at all, my youngest daughter likes to ride it around the neighborhood, to get experience (she got her license last year but doesn't have a bike of her own yet). It has the best riding ergonomics of the bikes that I currently have, except the seat on my '07 BMW K1200S is WAY more comfortable for longer trips.
I bought a BMW K1200R in '05. A magic bike for sure. Unfortunately it was damaged in '08 but that is another story. I drove 11,000 miles in 3.5 short summer seasons with the BMW. But now installing the TEC camshaft in my '16 ST with X-pipe, DNA air filter and a booster plug. I will reprogram the bike with TuneECU and probably disable the O2 sensors too. And the booster plug will not be needed anymore. I like the stock mufflers, and I don't believe they will restrict the power. After all it is still a low power bike, even with around 70 hp.
wanted the speed twin but found a street twin for a good deal and might be picking it up tomorrow. Im just wondering if Ill be wishing I spent more for the speed twin with the higher power and better breaks. Is this street twin strong enough for a 205lb rider that will have his 110lb wife on the back for short rides around town?
What about running higher speeds like interstate and highway 70 to 80 mph
i’m using a Puig universal shield with a small puig extender and the wind goes over my helmet…huge difference. this bike has no trouble running 85 all day
Very good review, covered all the key points even mentioned possible leg problems due to short seat height as well, not sure if I've heard that mentioned before in the many reviews of this bike I've watched! , well done I'm looking forward to seeing future reviews from you 👍
Thanks for your feedback Darryl! Yeah, I do try and be as observant as possible and think about what other riders may encounter when riding the bike. Great to hear it's appriciated! 🏍
When I bought mine second hand from a dealer without even trying it, I was very nervous and worried, saying to myself " oh god what have I done" it's heavier than my previous cb500f that I used to have 5 years earlier and It have been a long since I ride a proper big bike. As soon as I started it a rode off I was shocked at how easy a low the centre of gravity was, it's like I used to ride it long time before, heck! It felt so easy to ride that I can even highly recommend it to do the full motorcycle test on it. The only thing It lacks is the full lock of the steering which I found it quite small.
I am considering this for my later years in motorcycling. I dont have the need for my bulky, heavy adventure bike but don't want to give up biking. Definitely on my radar.
It's the best-selling Bonnie Triumph sell, Bob... and for good reason! It's certainly my favourite of the Bonneville family for sure. Easy to ride. Looks great!
I know this is pretty old now but, I'm looking into a triumph speed twin vs a starter sportsbike for my first bike, I have no riding experience but seeing the community made me interested, my question is though will sportsbike riders look only for other sportsbikes to cruise with or is this not a thing ?
Love my Bonnie it’s just civilised .
It’s a you can be Steve Davis or Ronnie O’Sullivan kind of bike . 😀🇬🇧🏍🦔
I’m going from a Trident 660 to stealth edition ST900 , I’ve had a few wobbles about getting rid of the great engine in the Trident , but this bike ticks all the boxes I need !
9300 dollars in US. Same as 2021 Mt-09…?
Great Review! Very soon I will ride my own Streeet Twin 2022. Wow !! Sounds like a perfect Double Stroke Roll!!
Really good review mate, considering swapping my 21 reg CB650R for one due to seat height and low down torque 👍
I have an 07 Rocket III and thinking of going down in size but it’s HARD as my Rocket is still SUBLIME!
I was looking into getting a RE Meteor 350 Fireball Red but, the dealers can't get them until July. So I decided to look for something else, behold the Triumph Street Twin 900 got my attention, I live in mountain area and flat land very near the great Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. This bike rides like a dream and I know what you mean about the pulling power. I love it and I am very happy I bought it. I grew up with Japanese bikes and this one is my first UK bike , I will ride with this one for the rest of my life. Great review and Thanks! Ride on man!
My last bike was an ‘82 BMW R65LS. It was much easier to maneuver at slow speeds. I have some practice to do on this new bike modulating the clutch, throttle, and rear brake for tight turns. Otherwise I love this bike. Plenty of pulll… I don’t know what I’d do with more power.
Just watched you t100 review. Very well done. It was between the twin and the t100. So, it seems the twin will be my first bike. Gonna go for the ec1 limited edition. Great color. It’s just the sportier of the two. And i like a blend of sport and cruise. Thanks Eddie for helping with the decision. T
Really glad I could help! :) I do love the Twin out of all the Bonnies.
@@EddieSetGo right on. Keep up the great content.
Did you buy one?
So I have the questions.what is the bike all about? Does it have more horsepower? How big is the engine? What rpm does it have it on it? What does the tork to the all day on it?
I hate when reviews start 'if your a new rider or have an A1 licence....' when its a 900cc. What's wrong with just talking about the bike without 'labelling' it a beginner or new rider bike?
Hey buddy. Yeah, I totally get where you're coming from. I was intending to make more videos around the Street Twin and not focus on the "new rider" angle so much, but we had loads of snow and bad weather here, I ran out of time to create. Will totally take your feedback onboard though.
They pull good! Not a wheelie machine for me though.
Ploi
Love your video. I'm looking for a new bike and yes, I think I have found it . Thank you
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🏍💨
@@EddieSetGo the only thing I am a bit scepticle about is the engine heat. Hope I don't burn my leg. I live in Rome, Italy and it gets pretty warm in the summer.
I understand your concerns... Rome can get very hot!☀️ I didn’t notice my legs touching the engine though... there was lots of leg room despite the seat height being low.
My first bike. Incredibly fun to ride and keeps me out of trouble in NYC.
Safe riding in NYC buddy :)
Good to know, I’m considering this as my first as well also in NYC :)
@@princet6084 get new tires stat when you start thinking about upgrades. The stock pirellis are trash.
@@francobuhay9604 Noted, thanks and will do, any suggestions on which tires??
Thers a clock in my new speed twin 900. I overheard you said theres no time display
New subscriber!
Excellent review. I find the Street Twin more of a cruiser-roadster profile. Definitely a bike to journey with (in all senses of the word). Great first bike!
Does it "chuff" at low revs, lower speed in the lower gears, sounds always in too high a gear?
Seeing the village of England made me happy. How clean and Road conditions are so good.
I’m glad you liked it Zubin! I’ll make sure more villages are in future videos :)
What's your name
I like the Truiumph Tiger, I hope i will be able to purchase one one day
Nice review mate, I'm taking a street twin out this morning from my local dealer for a test ride. From what I've seen on you tube very positive reviews of the bike (except the wingmirrors, easy fix). Seems like the engine is very smooth with loads of torque. I'm very much looking forward to the ride.
(Greetings from Canada)- The Street Twin does have a digital clock. You just have to click through the different information screens. I have a 2020 and absolutely love my Twin! So much fun to ride for sure!!!
@Sharon Lee what RPM's does it make when you ride +- 80mph?
what RPM's does it make when you ride +- 80mph?
Thanks for the info, Sharon! :)
The last Triumph I rode was a '73 650 Tiger and I loved it. This one seems like it might be even better. Thanks for the review.
Nice vidéo! Just a question : what is the brand of your blue jacket? looks great!
It's a Richa Daytona jacket, but I'm not sure they make it anymore. They have lots of cool jackets available though, very pleased with that one. :)
If it has 6 speed, it will just be perfect.
Nice review - Thanks! I had a beautiful 2017 T120. I think I'd prefer the 900 vs. 1200 at this point & the Street Twin offers a nice blend of qualities. Although I'm not fond of that 'whistle' noise in modern Triumph engines, I do like the deeper, throatier burble of these stock mufflers/silencer vs. those on the T100 & T120. May not need to replace the stock version.
i like the whistle
Most good looking retro modern bike ever . My favourite
They are rather good!
I Bought a 2016 ST 3 weeks ago with only 6000 miles on the clock - growing up on old Triumphs from T100SS to 750 twins I absolutely love my new purchase - happy days!
I bought a 2016 ST last year with 8,500 miles 😊
she is in my garage and a keeper
in houston and a bugger to aquire
Duuude! This thing is Beeyoutiful
I put a deposit on a Trident, but this review makes me want to rethink that...
The Street Twin is certainly worth a test ride, Marty! 👌🏻🏍
@@EddieSetGo I didn't notice a tachometer. Is that correct?
@@martyshmanka correct
@@surferdude642thanks. I find that strange on ANY motorcycle these days.
New subscriber- great production and narration really enjoyed it If I had some spare cash I'd love to buy one as a second bike, strip it down and smother it in after market touches such as the items from motone and turn it into an Urban ride
Thank you for subscribing, Keith! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I've also considered the Street Twin as a perfect second bike. Customise it and make it mine! Quite like the idea of a 'cafe racer' or 'stripped-back black apoloclyse rugged' bike :P
Love the Street Twin ! Best all rounder motorcycle ! Nice video mate !
Thanks very much! It's a great bike :)
Just bought a brand new Speed Twin 900 as a retirement present to myself and can't wait to pick it up in a few days. I went for a test ride a couple of weeks ago and I was grinning all the time I was out on it, such an easy bike to ride with more than enough power and grunt for my type/style of riding and I'm looking forward to many happy miles of riding.
I bought one of these( 2023 chrome edition) and can echo all you've said about it. I had always ridden sports tourers and wanted something different that would suit the DGR. I'm old and short and haven't stopped smiling since I took it for a test ride. I decided there and then to buy one and I love it. The torque, sound and ease of riding is a real game changer! Great review thankyou!
🎉great content and informative. I am about to buy a 2016 model Street Twin....I now know I made the right choice after watching this video. Thanks fella!
Any 6ft+ people own one of these ?
Late reply but I'm on my second street twin at 6'3👍👍
Home many RPM's does it make at 120km/h or 75/80 MPH?
I heard it is 3800 rpm in 5th (top gear) at 70 mph.
@@surferdude642 thank you!
Ok for a daily commute?
Excellent for a daily commute. Comfortable. Punchy engine. Room for panniers. Rock solid engine and build quality. 👌🏻
One of the few bikes with nice sounding stock exhaust pipes.
Nice review, I just put the deposit on a new 2022 EC1 and looking forward to picking it up soon.
The clock is there, just push the Scroll button 😊If anyone should wonder.
Triumph certainly have their styling act together at last, the new Rocket is testament to that and this and the new 400.
I appreciate it’s an older review but still good to hear that the street twin is a great bike to own , I love mine although not riding at mo due to having brain surgery which sucks !! Great review thanks
I can’t help but laugh when I hear someone with his accent reviewing the new Triumph motorcycles. He wasn’t born when I bought my 1967 Bonneville. Now THAT is a mans motorcycle. Still riding it in 2021 in Texas.
Great review sir. I’ve subscribed from NZ. You do speak in a Clarkson kind of way though. Just saying.
I currently ride an '18 Street Triple 765R. I am looking at getting a second bike to just cruise around on. Saw the new Gold Line edition and love the look. Just need to demo ride a regular version to see if I would even like it.
Good looking bike. Triumph is the ultimate brand for retro style motorcycles
Good hommage to worthy bike...
Thank you Pete! :)
Thank you for this video, you covered all the bases and gave a lot of good info. I already have my Harley for sale and if I sell it by Spring I'll be looking to buy a Triumph Street Twin 900 (or Speed Twin 900) I think Triumph changed the name. I can hardly wait to have a Triumph in my garage.
I have owned many mototcycles since 1967, mostly Japanese brands and four Harleys, so I am very excited to be getting a TRIUMPH.
Delighted to be of help :)
Awesome video and review. As professional as it can be. New subscriber.
I have the 2020 one and the seat kills my a$$ I need to replace that seat ASAP.
Good review, I have the same bike and love it, there is a clock accessed via the mode button.
my 2014 bonneville has a seat that ruins the ride, do these fare any better?
You had me at 5'7 5'8.. 😂 Same here, buddy.
Add as much height as I can buddy! 😂
I'm 5'5" 28" inseam and can flat foot, no problem.
What blue leather jacket?
Richa Daytona :)
Love your blue leather jacket. Where did you get that?
❤️👍
Great review. Really good!
6’2, 200 lb male. Never ridden a motorcycle before. Is this a good starter bike for someone like me? Obviously after learning and getting licensed and whatnot..
Hey Matthew. I think this is a perfect first bike. Low seat. Wide bars. Loads of fun power that will keep you smiling. It looks great too :) I'd double check how the bike feels with your feet on the pegs. With a low seat height it might put bend in the knees with your height. So do test ride for a good hour before buying.
Awesome bike 👍 but very weak & no sound 😒
Certainly keep on eye if one would appear on my radar
Is this bike too heavy? I'm thinking of buying one, but don't want a bike that is too heavy. I live in Madrid, a city
with a lot of traffic.
I don't think so. It's a very "low weight". The low seat height makes it easy to put both feet down. You hardly notice the weight and it has a good turning circle with wide bars for squeezing in and out of traffic.
No clock displaying? Oh no! Come on Triumph. Get with it!!!!!
It was my bad... there is a clock, you just have to cycle through the settings to find it!
For sound I would prefer W800
Just so people know, you do NOT have to be a "hipster doofus" to ride a triumph!
I’m proud of being a hipster doofus.
❤ sehr schön....wo hast du die schöne Seite Tasche her ?
Lovely bike that 😎
Nice blue jacket too
What year is this one? Is it reliable? Suspension over bumps?
This was the 2020 edition! Very smooth over bumps and predictable.
Hey Eddie. Does the the lack of 6th gear causes it to vibrate at highway speeds?
Hey Julio, I didn't notice any uncomfortable vibrations at motorway speeds. Comfy bike to ride long distance.
