Highway Riding on the Triumph Street Twin | Speed Twin 900

- On my way to Asheville NC, I thought I'd spend some of the time talking through what I think about while I'm riding on the highway. There are a lot of factors that go into riding on the highway, but hopefully this helps to narrow down what to think about and how to look at the road.

Great video as always. Would love to see a walk around the bike with all your mods
I have a video on that, but you're right I added a few more things. Unfortunately this one is now wrecked. I am on the hunt for a new one.
Man I'm feeling those gloves and bag, what are the names and brands of those?
Bag is from Trip Machine and I think the gloves are from Biltwell!
Great talk through your strategy. Would love to have the camera angled up some next time so as to see the traffic patterns. Thanks!
Cool video. I've never driven this machine, but I have the impression that on the highway it lacks 6th gear for it to cruise more comfortably. What do you think?
It does only have 5 gears. Now I have prior videos where I'm on the highway and it's fine. I just personally prefer a different bike for highway riding. 1100cc and up, maybe cruise control. 80 hp or more
@@merxmoto perhaps speed twin 1200!
Fuel economy on highway & normal riding?
I've gotten between 58 or more mpgs
Are those the stock handlebars? I would love to see a walkaround video of your street twin 😊
Those aren't the stock ones. They are the Retro Handlebars from British Customs. Unfortunately I can't do a walk around. That bike was recently totaled :(
@@merxmoto oh I so sorry 😞, I hope at least you are Ok and didn't hurt yourself.
Used to love you ST videos, hope your ok man
@pauljohnston7721 Thanks boss. Got a new bike. Videos will be out in the new year. Happy holidays
I love the little things you did with the bike, specifically the handlebar wraps, gas cap, and tank bag. Were those options at the time or did you get them aftermarket?
I did them aftermarket! Gas Cap from Motone, handlebars from British Customs and tank bag from Trip machine.
I use my ST for transportation but also for fun rides in the mountains and twisties. Thing is, to get there I have an hour and a half on the highway. Mostly 2-way 2-lane roads that require a lot of passing campers and trucks. Multi lane freeways can be pretty scary in heavy traffic and I tend to avoid it if I can.
The ST is very capable of overtaking at speed. And just for kicks I got it up to 110+ mph one time on a desert highway with nobody else around. Brutal wind 😂
Haha definitely brutal wind 😆
Actually man I'ma need that whole outfit haha
