I want to echo what others have said- this is probably one of the best bike world reviews I’ve seen. The delivery seemed much more natural than usual. I’m not sure if it was a purposeful change or environmental (I.e., filming location), but something about the timbre of the presenter’s voice really drew me in on this one. Well done!
And actual clear annunciation..a rarity. Good stuff.
I second that, and thought similar whilst watching it.... Top job!
I enjoyed the honesty; "It's not for me." Too often all reviews are just another version of reading the press release. Far too often.
Full respect.
Bill Kerr I really enjoyed the bike, like I said in the video I think I was just expecting more from the front end. If there’s an R version in the pipeline, I’d be keen to ride it.
Terry Melvin that’s it mate, just because it wasn’t for me, doesn’t mean it won’t suit you. It’s a properly cool bike. Clearly Triumph didn’t put enough cash in the brown envelope that we get for making these videos.
This review convinced me to get a one. Just got it last week. A truly beautiful machine.
You won't regret it my dude, had mine for awhile now and I'm never bored with it. Just an absolutely beautiful and enjoyable bike to ride.
Skateparkdad it’s hard to describe, it just puts a smile on my face when riding it.
You guys nailed this review, definitely one of the better bike world reviews.
i really can not stress enough how much i look forward to these reviews .Without sounding like i have some kind of man crush , You are without doubt the best motorcycle journo around at the minute. I haven't enjoyed bike reviews this much since FAST Bikes mag .. back in the day . when the late great Barry sheene used to write for them , and the boys pioneered bad boy riding . The camera work and editing is also top class, with just the right mix of wheelies , back drops and droney footage. there is always the right amount of technical info and also what feels like a truly honest brake down of a bikes good and bad points , that doesn't leave you feeling like you have just watched a product placement advert . Now that Fuc**** helmet ... yes when i was a boy a dreamed of one just like it with a no7 on the back and a duck on the front .. but times have moved on , and yes i know agv have remade said helmet , not at 1970's prices i may add !!! but still NOOooo . maybe would look cool on a coffee table with a hole drilled in the front with a fag sticking out !
top job .. now ... please... part 5 for fucks sake
This is the best review I have seen in months. The video editing and narration sounded more genuine than others. I am looking forward to buy a Speed twin this year and your review helped me finalize on the decision. Keep up the great work!
Excellent, warts and all review.
Your credibility and value only increases with giving your honest and transparent opinion about the bike and aspects of ownership.
Thanks!
Honestly one of the best reviews of a motorcycle i have ever seen. Sold!
Once again, you do the best reviews around, John. You're one of the very few reviewers who don't balk at mentioning things you don't like while still being able to precisely describe what's happening at the time. The bike itself is so pretty it reminds me of the 1975 Moto Guzzi T3 (not the California).
First time watching your channel and that was a superb review from a clearly very competent rider which gives it more credibility. I think you made the right point when asking who’s eyes should you be looking through. Too many people dislike something when it doesn’t do what they want rather than the audience it was designed for. Top work!
Exceptional review! Detailed real world impressions, useful and honest appraisal. Chapeau!
Excellent review! thank you.
First time I've ever commented on a bike review. I notice I'm not the first to say what an outstanding job you've done mate! Always great to see wheelies too!
Joshua LION Thanks Joshua!
Man, the boys at Triumph really know how to make a great looking bike, and you do a hell of a good job with your reviews.
really good review. thanks.
Best review I’ve seen so far. Well done!
One of the better, info laden reviews, presented in a very honest but appreciably kind manner. It gives the honest facts without gushing or being negative.
What an excellent review. Professionally delivered but very natural.
Personally, I adore the Speed Twin. One may have to be added to the stable soon.
This is one of the best bike reviews I've seen lately. The competition in the review world just keeps getting more keen. Well done here. The shooting is great with a good mix of viewpoints and little repetition. The reviewer is relaxed and confident in his evaluation without being an alpha wannabe or a ponce. He must have a lot of experience to draw upon. He gives the bike kudos where it deserves them and points out the shortcomings and gives them the weight they deserve. I get the feeling that whilst this isn't the bike for him that it could be the bike for me... since his performance criteria are slightly more stringent than mine would be. I will be subscribing because of the quality of this effort. Thanks mate.
Thanks for a great comment. You're right, John does know his stuff.
That’s an awesome and crystal clear review mate 👍... thanks a lot !
This bike looks good from every angle. As a fun commuter bike in the city that will do some wheelies, this very may well be my first brand new bike. And as for the review, top notch.
Top-notch, professional review!
You have a new subscriber.
Excellent review for what looks to be another excellent bike from Triumph. Well done !
This is my dream motorbike 💕
Mine too 🙂
Great review John - cheers!
Thanks for the very honest review. A lot of reviews sound like Triumph ads and don't talk about the good and the bad. Love your videos and I can say I just purchased the black version of the Speed thanks to your reviews of both the Street Twin and the Speed Twin. Cheers from Canada.
Lestudio Neuf thanks for the feedback mate, enjoy the bike.
Great honest evaluation, really like this bike last time I was out on my fazer said that was it my biking days are over,,,, music to the Mrs ears. Got to book a test drive perhaps theres still life in the old dog👴
It's such a personal thing choosing a bike and within each and every one of us we have our own different personalities on different days...sometimes we are the hooligan, sometimes we're more lethargic. To that end, can one bike ever be enough...? We know it can't, but despite the fact that we might occasionally be touring or dreaming of adventures - most of our riding is in reality, short, sweet and local. This bike, will, I think - fit like a glove for 90% of our riding.
Great video, very informative and very well presented, love the bike.
This Speed Twin is so Captivating.....
True Motorcycle Looks..... Sweet
Excellent video editing and honest review 👍
Proper review. I have a street twin, which I love, so I guess this is even better to ride.
Thank you for a really good review. No stupid music just good information and film with balanced facts. Well done.
Cheers
Excellent, balanced bike review. I have always had a soft spot for Triumphs since my great uncle and grandpa used to ride them in the 50s and 60s. I think your ending line is spot on--I have looked at other retro bikes (including an updated W800 from my first bike a W650) and this one ticks all the boxes...for me. Need to take a long hard look at it.

Thanks for so much useful information... great review
Great review. Honest, insightful and thoughtful. The Speed Twin looks cool with performance enough for most of us most of the time. The performance edges described in this review only make this bike more interesting.
Just about the best reviewer on the net, this fellow. And the first bike since the Rocket lll Roadster to interest me.
Bike World. Great review as always from you guys. Good thing you backed off when the roads started to get wet because the trouble with Mallorca is that although the tarmac looks the same as the UK unfortunately it is a bargain basement job and as soon as it gets wet it goes to zero grip which is why 99 per dent of motorcycle rental bikes show crash damage. Catches out nearly every British biker, so beware!
Love the intro. The scenery and soft instrumental guitar track. Sets a calming mood. Greetings from Oklahoma.
Okie Rider thanks
Bike World what is the song? please answer
When my current bike is paid, I may have to bring this one home.
Good honest review! Much appreciated
Extremely informative, bar-setting review. Thank you. I'll just toss in a few comments that may be more a matter of personal preference. First, I watch these vids to hear how a bike feels. You get that. I'd just like a bit of that earlier in the video rather than the stage-setting (new parts, tech specs, where the bike sits in the model range) so many commentators start with. After a comment about how the bike feels, info about weight, brakes, etc. means more in context. Second, you said "it's not the bike for me" at the end. That's honest. But I would have liked another sentence or two of "why," unless you felt your criticism of the Speed Twin's front end and brakes sufficed. However, I recall you really enjoying the updated Street Scrambler 900 -- was that better?

This channel was hidden for so long !! Damn good content. Loved the camera work too.. Youve got yourself sub.
Thanks
As a Bonnie 865 rider I will look at it as a trade up to the modern world. I swapped years of sportsbikes for the Triumph so something a bit sharper and powerful would be welcome while still being a real everyday bike. Great video.
Another great review! Thank you.
Excellent video and gorgeous bike.
Probably the best review I've seen. Honest and to the point. There's a lot of riders that aren't in the market for a crotch rocket. It is the most appealing bike on the market for me.
Great review- keep 'em coming
Excellent review. Relaxed, informative and classy.
Thanks Richard
Triumph nailed the details on this bike ,with the exception of the tank seam. They could have sorted it out, not a huge deal but something you notice every day.
Lovely and crisp. Awesome review
More reviews of this standard needed. Good work.
Absolutely love it! Would like to see an R version too though ...
Great review, mate! Cheers
I’ve ridden my 900 Street twin for a year now, only swapped the mirrors out to handlebar versions through personal choice-it’s such a fun bike! But I can’t stop looking at this Speed Twin! Phoawr!!
When I was riding my 2008 T100 black, this what I had in mind!
Only took Triumph 10 years to figure it out...
Keeping the price realistic was important - if they shift a load of these, I can see them upgrading brakes/suspension on future variants like they did with the Bobber.
Depends where you are. In the Netherlands this bike sets you back 15.000 euros. Sigh.
Yep why they dont have twin Brembos and more power on the Bonneville T120 is beyond me 🤷♂️
Best Speed twin review so far!
Cheers
Great video, thanks for sharing. Cheers
Brilliant review and lovely slomo's
Agree, one of the best reviews. Fantastic road, and I like the riding style.
salpairadice cheers
Fantastic Review.. My compliments.

just had the chance to ride the new speed twin i think its bad ass i like alot the power is beautiful it handles like a dream really nice motorcycle
The Speed twin is a great effort by Triumph, it certainly looks the part and goes well. It's a pretty thing as standard but ownership is about putting your own stamp on it. You can bin the exhaust or shocks as you please.
It's tempting me away from my Speed triple.
Thanks for a good review, one of the best. It's up there with Mossy's effort. Two different approaches to bringing quality content.
Excellent review. Pretty much perfect.
Really hope to own one of these one day.
great review , really got a feel for the bike actually so a top job on the review , ps would love to see a Bonneville t120 vs speed twin vs thruxton vs thruxton r comparison vid that would be great as there is a now a fair old choice in the 1200cc tumpet line up , so triumph and bike world lets make it happen
What a lovely beast of a machine. I am sold on the looks alone.
It is a beautiful looking bike.
Nice work! Good review.
A wonderful real-world bike with the cool factor riders love. For hard-core fast riders Triumph makes bikes like the Street Triple and Speed Triple, but with 97 hp and lots of torque the Speed Twin is no slouch, the handling is decent, and the big twin sound is a nice bonus. Triumph is going to sell loads of these Bonneville inspired motorcycles.
Great review, Thanks
Yep best review I’ve seen on the ST which I’m considering for next year, SOLD!
Great video! Such a nice bike.
For the money, I think it should have had the better forks. I really appreciate what Triumph has done, left some room for customizing, but spending money on suspension shouldn't be one of them. Great review! Loved your delivery
The speed twin is amazing value for money, you could not ask for more at this price and there is certainly not a better equipped competitor out there, triumph provides excellent biuld quality and style.
Maybe the street twin would suit your needs and budget more.
I especially appreciate the end remarks; Nicely done!
Cheers
Really liked the review! From small details to the major one you covered most of the things! Is there any scope of job openings😬 Wanted to learn how you see the bike with your eyes
Amazing review. One of my favorite reviewers on UA-cam - up there with Fortnine.
Is this bike replacing the bonneville?
Great review!!
Great review, as everyone says - great camera work too.. I have a Thruxton R but will probably swap it for this one cos I can't take the R's riding position for more than a couple of hours. I also find the 'fully adjustable' R suspension way too hard for B roads - that's fully adjustable from Hard to Brutal! Hoping the front brake isn't too much of a downgrade... Were you being politely critical of front brake or was it just the ABS?
Good review, love this bike. I'm sure it's more then capable for the average Joe like me who thinks he needs something faster lol. 👍
Nice video....Looks like a great all round bike , I'm in the market for a new bike but not going to happen until Iv seen/ridden the new Rocket 3 .
Very nice QUALITY review! A lot of nice touches. Like the outtro too.
Marcus Augustinus thanks
What a great review!
Brilliant review.
Really honest and awesome review.
Sounds like a very good ride. My stock Thruxton R top speed was just over 130 mph on a 3 mile straight, I would be surprised if this bike is not capable of this too, considering the Thruxton R gearing is low with 16T/42T sprockets.
Brilliant Review!
7:37 That shot was epic
Superb review!
Awesome vid report.....Bike world is King
excellent delivery on that explanation big man..i dont ride bikes planning to get one and this one piqued my interest and i was looking for nice review that calmed my doubts and questions..this one does it! nice!
What a beautiful bike!!
Great subjective review, thanks!
Great review
Great review man👌👍..
Excellent review with a surprising ending ! Does anyone know who the music is provided by ?
Great review!!! :)) I like this bike
I love it, I just wish they would have put inverted forks on the bike.
A very enjoyable watch. Was just wondering, when you said it doesn't have the best performance in its segment, which bike or bikes you would say out-perform it? I like a peppy, maneuverable bike and tight twisty roads, but sports bikes are just not for me. I currently have a Ducati Scrambler which is tons of fun, but looking for something with more oomfff, still in keeping with a retro vibe (I unapologetically like retro styling and always have). Z900RS? XSR900? R9T? Something else in the Bonneville lineup?
it does look good
When you say "motorcycle" this bike fits that image.No fluff,No power Ninja angles! No ugly headlight! No ugly exhaust!In short a great looking and functioning motorcycle!
