2021 Triumph Speed Twin: BMW R Nine T killer?

The Triumph Speed Twin received a tighter front end for 2021, next to some minor tweaks. We were excited to test this badboy in Portugal...until we saw the weather report.
Can this Brit retro take on the japs or R nine T? One way to find out...

Thanks for the sweet review! And thanks for the english subtitle. What do you think of z900rs compared to the speed twin? Its good to know that this bike is not meant for long disrance. But it does looks like a piece of art.

Yeah, it sure is pretty! But so is the Z900RS. Those two are close competitors imo, it just depends on wether you prefer a fat twin, or a smooth four cylinder...Book a testride!

Great review thanks. I’ll keep my old one with that slight front end handicap 🍻

[@MaxxMotoDotBe]

Thanks for the comment Dave O, as motorcycle developers would say: It's not a handicap, it's a feature! ;-)

If i only have money ill buy the speed twin due to that sweet sound alone.

En is het nu een Bmw Nine T killer , precies niet gehoord in de tube of heb ik niet aandachtig geluisterd :)

[@MaxxMotoDotBe]

Absoluut, zeker als je euro per euro gaat vergelijken met het (intussen heel uitgebreide) R nine T gamma.

Sorry but looks too boring to be an R Nine T killer 😉 I’m sure it’s a great bike but visually it does nothing…for mw at least

[@negenelf123]

@@johnlaw5762 I love the look of the triumph over the nine t !
