Good to see a volg from a speed twin rider, absolutely my fav bike. Thank you for your efforts in sharing. As channel grows hopw to get to see updated cam settings to enjoy this to the fullest. 😊 Thank you ❤
@SolitudeRider-kq8bk bro i don't use any settings.. I jus took the cam out of the box and started using it.. I'm using SJ6 Legend.. didn't want to waste money on GoPro
My dream bike. Gives you everything at its price without compromising looks and comfort. Bonneville t120 is better than this if you want the cruiser experience and dont wish to go on insane Speeds?
Hi, nice vlog. I have a speed twin 1200 as well. Was there any breakdown or puncture in your whole trip? Also, with so much of torque on offer, how are able to control the urge to give it some throttle and cruise at 85.
Sir, luckily no punctures and no breakdowns.. it was a smooth ride.. Like you said since I was aware of the power curve I refrained from twisting the throttle due to 2 reasons.. 1. The roads tho they wer good had multiple animal crossings 2. With the luggage strapped on its better to keep it under 95 Kmph due to the aerodynamic stability I kept varying my speed between 85- 105 kmph For 90% time I rode at 95 kmph and even triumph says to keep varying the speed n not hold constant throttle or speed
@@tomrohan8480 what you said makes sense. I havent taken my bike on a long trip. Just short trips max 150 kms. And I have given full throttle. Off course I did not have luggage. But nice to see the bike performing well on such a long trip.
I recently got a scrambler 400x and cant wait to push its limits. Always love the bonnies and the twins. For a change ,First time seeing someone vlogging on speed twin , and to control all that urge within 100 kmph with such a machine is admirable . Subscribed and looking for more good content from you. @tomrohan8480 only thing your audio isn't that clear. Check on that .🙂
Bruv.. this bike is a roadster so offroad is no deal.. if you are worried about speed breakers it clears it jus fine.. but with a pillion rider it may touch lightly though.. the rear suspension is soft dats y
Helo Sir, there's no comparison to a speed twin..I had a Interceptor 650 before my speed twin n I sold dat off.. Pros: Ride stability. Braking action. Smoothness (no vibrations till 150 kmph beyond dat sight vibration due to the twin setup) More torque more power, refined engine. ABS & traction control with 3 riding modes..at highway it gives a decent mileage for a 1200cc Cons:- Not meant for traffic as engine heat wll blow ur brains out If you don't ride regularly the battery will go weak as the security system uses power The metzeler tyre is a soft compound tyre which come with it so careful on gravel as it may cut the tyre.. it can last 8000km depending on ur ride profile..
Bro I'm 5'11.5 or 181cms.. I will recommend you for Tiger 900 as you are taller.. the bike is an awesome machine but for you it might b a tad small in size
How after sales support at triumph? I’ve heard people just go to different garage or service Center outside rather than in house? Also how’s maintenance and niggles with bike?
After sales support is good.. but again like other brands it all depends upon the work force.. the reason why people go to other garages is to cut cost.. however I would not recommend that..its hardly one service a yr/ 16000 kms.. Best thing about goin to a triumph service station is in case of any niggles you can always fall back n get it rectified which may not be possible with a different garage or service centre..they might not entertain or do free of cost..or even take responsibility.. Of the 2 yrs that I have been using No Niggles OR Maintenance Issues till NOW...
@@tomrohan8480so in 2024 with I am assuming no updated model whatsoever, do you think speed twin would be a better choice when we have Honda cb650r, bmw 850 etc etc in the nearest price point? I know you might say you cannot compare, but assuming your in our position and had no bikes but money, what would you pick?

Wen u sit on a bike try n hug the fuel tanks with ur knees.. it takes away the stress on your bum.. atleast it works for me😃 Safe ride sir
Bro I'm not a fast rider.. I love to cruise at 95Kmph sometimes drop to 85 and sometimes maintain 105 kmph.. never beyond dat cuz Indian roads are unpredictable.. Aim is to reach destinations safely and in time.. Longest that I rode was 875km with breaks of 30 mins after every 2 hrs of riding.. Started by 0700h n reached by 2300h
12 lakhs on road with basic accessories.. gives 26kmpl on highway and 20kmpl in city.. I've gone till 140kmph.. top speed i guess is 200kmph.. 100 is breeze
Riding differences and engine performances are different for both Speed twin is better compared to a street twin - stunning looks - it's a 1200cc - better braking - 6 speed - better seating & riding posture - minimal vibrations on handle Area where street is better than speed twin - torquey launch - exhaust note is better than speed twin
@@amitbhube4525 to be honest I loved Street twin a bit more due to 2 reasons 1. It was really torquey 2. Lovely exhaust note The reason I went for speed twin 1. It had jus 5 gears 2. Seat height was low compared to speed twin
@Tom Rohan quick question though since I was contemplating on buying this bike since last year. Do you have any regrets after buying this bike interms of power or any other bike which you liked better after owning this beauty
U spent so much on ur motorcycle. , riding gear, riding luggage but u are recording ur footage and audio with sjcam products?😂 doesnt make sense bro. Thats the first thing u should have invested on atleast a Go pro and a dji mic or a sena comm unit. Just look at the result the footage is all gritty and audio sounds aweful had to lower the volume while watching. My suggestion is buy vlogging equiptment before u go on ur next ride
@jyotishmandehingia123 Thank a ton..point taken👍 Firstly I'm not a full time blogger Secondly dat cam n mike was purchased before the bike it self during the novice days.. So can you suggest a good cam.n Mike setup bro.. Will buy for sure.. By the way sold the Speed Twin and got a Tiger🙏

@SolitudeRider-kq8bk its the original.. infact i reduced some long riding portions from it..

Are motorcycles allowed on Agra Expressway? I thought they were banned...
@TheAshishDdaviddShow it is allowed.. but bikes also need to pay a toll fee though..
How about the ground clearance issue as it is only 130mm . I am planning to buy one but worried about the ground clearance’s

How did Speed Twin compare to the interceptor for comfort and performance for the journey. I'm thinking of upgrading from my interceptor.

Bro you would definitely try kawasaki z 900 rs.
Sorry for the late reply.. moving on to a Tiger 900 rally pro nuv😅
Hi Tom . How tall are you ? I am wanting to buy this bike . But im 6foot 1 inch tall. So wondering if it will be comfortable for a long rides.

Have you considered any wind protection ?
I actually don't like wind deflectors however I tried SW-MOTECH wind deflector.. it dint come up well with looks n performance so I skipped it
Do you have the quilted seat? how did you manage ? i heard the seat is really hard
No I have the stock Seat and trust me it's comfortable due to ur foot rest position.. less weight on your bum more weight bearing on your legs

For filhaal copy of this bike with low power hunter 350
How much u paid on road?
Kitna deti hai???😂
Top speed ?

Bro.. onroad.. difference speed twin. And street twin??
Riding differences and engine performances are different for both
Speed twin is better compared to a street twin
- stunning looks
- it's a 1200cc
- better braking
- 6 speed
- better seating & riding posture
- minimal vibrations on handle
Area where street is better than speed twin
- torquey launch
- exhaust note is better than speed twin
Is this bike top heavy on sharp turns
No...its not..its peppy n well balanced..
@@tomrohan8480 After installation of handle bar risers are you comfortable riding ? What's your height if I may ask
@@amitbhube4525 yes, it's comfortable.. posture improves slightly compared to the actual set up.. im 5'11"
