Man if I had this bike, I'd keep it for life.
Same same. Keep it besides the Kawasaki z900 RS 😃

OC: I love the retro styling Triumph puts into their bikes. Having owned a Bonneville. I'm a fan of the style and riding characteristics. Absolutely perfect for getting about in the city. The time on the Bonneville is the reason I'm still riding a Triumph. The linear power delivery is incredible and why I love my Daytona. The retro look might not be for everyone, but the look is timeless.
I agree, everything he complained about are reasons I love Triumph and the Bonneville live in particular. He should maybe be riding a KTM or Indian with a 10 inch TFT that looks like a Gameboy. Lol
the wind, the wiiiindddd , the wiiinddddd!!!! gimme a break. people tour on this bike.
Just love the circle graph of HP, torque,comfort,agility,style,price!
Put 13.7k miles on mine. This thing sounds so effing good at 80mph. GP Shorty Pro cans, Motone Xcat delete, Boosterplug IAT comp. What a great streetbike.
Hell yeah! So happy to finally see the Speed Twin on C2W. I have loved all 8,000 miles I've done on mine, including twisty action, urban riding, freeway slogs, and multi-day tours.
I have one and it is a lot of fun in twisties!
Is it as brutal on the highway as he says? Everyone is different of course but just looking for another opinion.
@@kish-river I personally am not very sensitive to wind blast, so I find it to be totally fine. Things do start to feel turbulent at 90+, but sustaining 80 for a couple hours is not bad at all. 70 is the sweet spot if you need to be on the highway all day. It loses that ballistic missile acceleration once you get above 80, but still has ample passing power up to about 100.
@@VanBlamm Great! Thanks for the reply. Love your channel btw!
@@kish-river Thank you!
You know you're behind the times when you finally get around to reviewing a bike three days before the new updated version premiers. 🤣

I love how you use a 2nd camera from a different source following around you. It adds a great 2nd dimension.
I have the black speed twin. It’s definitely not fun on the highway but it’s made for country roads. I love it. Twist the throttle and hold on. Tonne of torque.
Is it because no wind protection?
@@Spartansrule118 definitely because of the wind protection. Since my comment though, I installed a dart fly screen classic. It has made a huge difference on the highway. For me I’m 5’8, it takes away about 50% of the wind. Makes it comfortable on the highway now
Been waiting for you try out the Speed Twin! Have had mine for 8 months and absolutely love it!
These triumph twins don't get alot of action on UA-cam! Glad you see you on a Speed Twin. I own a 2019 🤘 I don't necessarily agree with some of your comments, but I still enjoyed the review
I got to try one of these, it's surprisingly good. Glad it made it to the channel.
OC : I literally just bought this exact bike. It's pretty sweet and compliments my Street Triple nicely!
I'm 5'8" 30" inseam... same issue with seeing the turn signal indicators... need to be brighter
Highly suggest adding adjustable suspension! Front can be done for under $200, rears for $350-$1200 depending on your budget. Changes the whole feel of the bike.
Picked mine up brand new for $10k.
I'd go for the Thruxton just to get the better suspension (mods aren't really allowed where I live).
where can you get rear springs for $350
I’ve been waiting for one of these
So happy you reviewed this!!!!
OC . . . I've got a Yamaha MT-03 that I've had since last year, and I absolutely loved it at first. I just actually came back from a trip where I rode 200 miles to go camping, about another 100 while I was there, and another 200 to get home (avoiding highways and taking the scenic back route, of course). Having said that, I'm thinking my next move up will be something like the Triumph Street Twin. I feel like the lower revs and torque for around town and shorter trips like that is where it's at. No big plans to do insane major distance riding as of now.
This is soo sick chase! Waiting for the R7 first ride!
Great video! Triumph is honestly killing it with their retro-styling and these bikes just ooze with quality. If you have a Kawasaki Z900 Cafe in stock, I would love to see you take it for a spin and talk about it!
It's here! I like my bikes low revving, thank you very much for asking. Haha!
I own one in Silver Ice/ Storm Grey, and yes it does feel pretty comfortable riding around town. Another thing I found, though, is that in the twisties it does pretty well, but it could do better with upgraded suspension. It does feel a bit soft.
And yes, they should have angled the dash better.
As always, nice vid!
Great bike. I drive about 30 minutes of highways to and from work so first thing I did on mine was put a fly screen on it, and that made highways enjoyable. Max speed you're looking at about 130mph, but I never did that personally...
This was an excellent review full of pluses and a few minuses one being how it approaches Panigale hot. Thanks for your insights.
OC: I like Speed Twin from the day of its launch. Dreaming about it and I will buy one for sure.
I like both low and high revving bikes... Low revving bikes usually have more torque and Torque is what gives a bike character ❤️
OC: Really love the grunt of a twin. Triumph makes so many of these parallel twins though, it feels like Suzuki's lineup with a couple different letters making a "new" model. Also, this Speed Twin is so different from a Speed Triple, I don't know how Triumph wants to fit this bike in the Speed line.
Speed denotes over 1000cc, Street means less than 1000cc like both the Street Triple and Street Twin. The triples are modern roadsters and the twins are retro classics.
my buddy has a speed twin. put a new cam in, exhaust and power commander with some extensive tuning. thing is an absolute beast now.
Awesome you did the DGR. just dropped my video today of the DGR we had in Adelaide Australia. was an awesome ride and anyone coud join in, even my Bucket of Bolts!
Really enjoyed this review. Thanks
OC: I test rode a Bobber and Thruxton R a few years ago with this 1200cc engine in them. Neither were bad bikes and the fit and finish was premium. While the Thruxton was more enjoyable to me than the Bobber, I ended up viewing both of them as more secondary, around town bikes which I wasn't in the market for. I gave them a shot but I'm into higher revving bikes that lean towards the sport end of the spectrum.
Thruxton and Bobber have different engines in them.
Bobber has less compression, heavier crank and is down 16hp on the Thruxton R.
@@daniellekoran7906 Yup, ones branded as the "HP" and the other "HT" on the engine casing.
Don't dig it to much. The updated one has just been shown. Quicker throughout and with upside down forks. Bigger disks and pads. Lighter crank with sportier tires. But i would still be happy with that one. Not giving up my R3 though.
14:40 - I hear that all the time on my Street Twin.
You should for sure try the Thruxton R. I feel like the issues you had with the SpeedTwin are fixed on Thruxton!
OC: only ridden one sportbike (Street Triple R) and loved that was a high-revver bike. maybe that's just because it was a new experience for me.
also took this same bike for a test ride, and personally thought the seat was rather uncomfortable.
What a great looking and performing bike.
Just test rode- what an engine!! Got wheelie unintentionally 1-2 gear
Lovely review.... Any chance you could do a review on the 2021 Street twin?
I have those mirrors on my Suzuki sv650. Best barend mirrors I've ever used.
That bike looks awesome on the road
I love how immediately after he states he's in Mexico they always show the big highway sign going in the opposite direction... happened last first ride too :D :D
It is all about the Nm aka ‘naughty meters’ mate, bigger displacement equals lower power but more grunt down low😉
What a great bike😍
I'm with you on the instruments visibility. Coming from a digital speedo I found this bike's speed really difficult to read, quite a problem in Switzerland with the extreme speeding fines here.
Great video!
OC: I think i'd go for the low rev power, i'm not a sporty driver anyway so i like the power down low, gets you that fun factor of just going from stop light to stop light :p (as you said in the video btw)
I absolutely love mine, but I put the Akropovic on mine (they look better IMO, plus some extra power) They are updating it for 2022, live reveal is on June 1!
OC-Love the low torque in the low revs; I'd leave the high revs for the track beasts. Styling I think is spot on retro, but how does it compare with the "big 4" retro rides? I like what Kawi has done with the Z900RS but like more of that v-twin grunt that this Triumph puts up.
Brilliant Video 👌
OC: I love the retro style and this bike!
I may not fit your demographic being an older guy that loves retro bikes. But I have been a long time subscriber and enjoy all of your reviews.
Luv this bike
Plenty of us like these motorcycles and all the other ones too!
Can you please do a review on the new Triumph Speed Triple 1200rs
It looks Cool
It sure is a pretty bike!
I'm looking at used ones. Whew, very nice looking bike going down the road.
"Windscreen" tee hee 🤣
U have got to try Thruxton RS eventually man, I'd love to hear your opinion on that.
If you want to go fast on a bike like that, put your feet on the rear pegs and lean forward so your helmet is basically resting on the tank.
I used to do that on my way to work at 3 am over the Ocean Springs Ms bridge , man , that was so much fun. That piece of road was perfect for that , nice sweeping curves.
OC my Vulcan S is the same riding style as that maybe a bit more agressive with lean angles but for a 650 has lots of low down power for zipping in and out of traffic
OC: Low RPM, bottom torque is my favorite, but hey ripping a bike to the redline in 2nd also puts a smile on my face :D
That's why Triumph triples are so good!
I wonder, which did you like better, the Triumph Speed Twin or the Kawasaki Z900RS? It seems they’re both competing for the same market share.
Triumph just upgraded 2021 edition, New upside-down forks with better brakes. It still has the heat problem.
With clip-ons and front full fairing it will turn into Thruxton R 😀
The new model has quite a bit more top end especially after some mods.
Holy crap! Chase rides a cruiser lol? I going to buy a lottery ticket now.
I've seen one up close in silver and the rider was an older dapper guy.
I own a 2023 version. The new redline is 7500. Triumph moved max HP to 7250 from 7000 for about 3 hp. The Thruxton is 7500 at 104hp.
Hey Chase I was wondering if you could do the Honda CB300R (style Neo cafe)
is basically 286cc 😅
Because looking for a starter bike and which I like the style but it dosent have so much good video of the ride and opinions about it😅
Thank you! Now please do a Thruxton R lol!
Hasn't been in production for two years now
The Thruxton RS is still in production and other than some small power tweaks, it’s the same bike. I’d also like to see What Chase thinks about the Thruxton... super fun bike
Do the thurxton too!!!
Same sticker as a Softail, though you cannot get a Softail for sticker price. I bought a Triumph Speed4 for sticker years ago.
Just came across this video as considering a Triumph (being a Brit and all!) nice review. One point to note though, Triumph (or any other manufacturer) aren’t responsible for the fact that you can’t remember to turn the indicator off! LOL That’s you’re responsibility my friend. As we say in England. People can make good bikes, but bikes can’t make good riders. Anyway, overall good review. Keep it up!
OC: I love the low rev of my street scrambler.
How is fast is the speed twin compared to a street triple, MT09 or z900? Can it hang with those bikes?
You need to ride the Thruxton 1200R that has been tuned/mapped. And I can tell you from the experience of mine it’ll just keep pulling and pulling in pulling!! And make sure it’s a naked one.js
I don't know why, but 2021 new speed twin doesn't look as appealing as this old one.
Pls do thruxton rs next!
I've been eyeing this bike. Triumph 400 would be nice
Royal Enfield have a 350 cc bike. I doubt triumph would ever do 400cc bike
@@expatbiker6598 3 years later, and triumph ended up doing a 400cc bike lol
OC. I love the bike. Low Revs for me.
Are you needing to lean forward in the riding position? Aggressive position?
2 days till I pick up my new 2021 mt 09. It may be somewhat ugly, but at least they fixed the previous problems. Too bad the last version looked cool
Apparently it corners pretty good.
Finally, a good bike! lol
Looking hard at the Speed Twin for some time now and theres a lack of reviews on it TBH.
OC low rev kinda guy. That grunt gets me every time.
You near New Orleans ?
@@Fee.1 Yes, out in Houma actually.
@@That_Cajun_Guy what do you ride ? I’m in New Orleans/JP
@@Fee.1 I'm currently on a MT03 (downgraded from a Monster 797 for cheaper commute) but am looking to buy a Speed Twin hopefully within the next year.
@@That_Cajun_Guy nice, I don’t really get the speed twin appeal personally, aside from the two wheel appeal inherent in all bikes I guess, but that’s just me, I have an r3 and a z400 personally at the moment, looking at street triples, tridents, & even Daytona’s….but I’m open to quite a few bikes
Do one on the 900 speed twin
Gorgeous bike. The motor on this bike is so good for street riding and if you want a windscreen plenty of companies make them.
thst is definitely my style.
Chase can you do the BMW R9t please?
Does switching it to rain mode makes it run like a 900 cc bike? I'm a beginner rider and I kind of thinking 1200 cc is too much.
Triumph parallel twin bikes do tend to get a bit thirsty when ridden enthusiastically.
If you like that wait till you ride though Thruxton 1200R!
I don't want any screens on my retro bike. It looks perfect as it is.
That motorcycle reminds me of the Happy Days Fonzi motorcycle.
The exhaust sound sounds so mute, is it the mic or the standar exhaust that does it...
I'm still torn between this and the xsr900
If I told you honestly that I am wrestling between a speed twin and a tuono v4 would you even believe me? 😂 absolute peach of a machine the speed twin.
I believe you! So many bikes, so little time! 😀
the gloves you're wearing, those Alpinestars Reef gloves? How do you like em? I'm looking for some good cheap summer gloves
"good cheap" .... 🤣
it's not a sports bike. It's a cafe racer, of course it's not built for high speed. It's meant to dart from cafe to cafe. The Bonneville series is basically chill and relaxed riding with a retro look. It's
It's not a cafe racer.
- no clipons
- no single seat/cowl.
Whens the speed triple ride?
How do u do the highway part of the ride in Mexico when u start just outside Atlanta 🤔🤷🏾♂️👀
You've never heard of Mexico, GA?
7:22 this must be such a mind blower to someone who isn't into motorcycles.
Do a triumph bobber next!
Let's have the speedmaster then. Please. Thank you for the review anyways
yoooo can you make a first ride on a zx25r pls
much respect for you
