    Got a speed twin back in December and love it. Dont know how fast it will go top end and don't care. Got plenty of passing power and handles curves well. Also serves as garage art. Age 68 now after lifetime of riding this is my favorite bike. Something about a European big twin that just suits me.

    The Street Twin, like most of the Triumph Classics, has a good bit of restriction in the ECU. The Bobber and even Street Triple RS have top speed limiters in place that can't be bypassed...
    What you can do is use TuneECU to raise the rev limiter, and get rid of the Throttle By Wire restriction... Even if you are giving it 100% throttle, it only delivers that to a certain RPM, and then it closes down to 70% or so from there to redline...
    You can get rid of those restrictions easily with TuneECU and an Android phone... It will make max power to redline without the ECU closing the throttles and restricting you...

    youtuber justdad has got a very similar Thruxton to somewhere around 140 MPH at Bonneville. I think he played with the sprockets and maybe a small fairing, but he said the engine was pretty much stock.
    Mind you for me in the UK this is all pretty much theoretical ! It's how it gets to 70 MPH that counts, and the Speed Twin is plenty fast enough for that .
    In the UK , that sort of speed on our crowded roads is "Go to Jail" time, a few years riding ban, and impossible to get insurance afterwards !!!!
    Ride safe .

    Not that it much matters, but for accuracy, you would now now go the other way on that road as fast as you can and take the average of the two terminal speeds. That said, as a speed twin owner, our bike is all about using the torque in the twisties. Roll-on for days....

    Nice video! Some suspect the Speed Twin and Thruxton to be speed limited by the ECU. I've had my T120 to 125 indicated, and it seemed that air resistance kept it from going faster. Was that a red oil pressure warning light?

    This bike is weigh a ton , and suprisingly the 1200cc engine only manages to pump 203kmh makes me think twice before i migrate into classic/cafe Triumph bike. comparing to my current Aprilia Tuono V4 its much well balanced optimized power to weight ratio that is hard to replace the fun.

      It's easy to replace the fun if you have a different definition of "fun". For me, "fun' isn't about power to weight ratios. I have a 1300 VTX that weighs 750 lbs and I have had nothing but fun with it for 14 years even though one could argue that the power to weight ratio isn't all that good. Why does everyone think that you cannot have fun with a bike unless it can go zero to sixty in under 3 seconds or something like that? That attitude seems so silly to me.

    Which fly-screen is that up front, out of curiosity? FWIW, I'm about to do a sprocket swap to an extra tooth or two; in 6th, I imagine that'd make a noticeable difference, in addition to rendering 1st and 2nd gear a little more useable. IMO, the only thing I don't like about the Speed Twin is that the gears feel a little too short. I know it's not a highway cruiser, but it'd be nice to sit in sixth for awhile without it screaming away like a smaller displacement bike.

    • @AdamCroll
      @AdamCroll  3 роки тому +1

      Rizoma short fly screen. The gear ratio feels good to me, but 6th gear could be a bit taller so highways are a bit less vibration heavy.

  • @AdmV0rl0n
    @AdmV0rl0n 3 роки тому

    Once you are at a real speed, (for sake of argument, aero resistance really kicks in at 60+) - unless the bike is slippery - which unfaired bikes are not, 120 is a ceiling that tops out many bikes without more gearing and horsepower. For each mph above that, you'll need a bunch more. But on an unfaired machine, above 100 is gorilla arms required hard slog over any distance.
    To hit 160 on an unfaired machine, you'll need bucket loads more power, and way longer gearing. The problem there is big lumpy twins start to reach the limits of things. IMHO, the less cylinders you run, the less you want to leave the things red lining..

    Fast!! I’ve a Speed Twin too and I love it! I’ve the catalizer removed to gain more horse power. One question:
    1) Could you enumerate that use to gain more horse power? (Decat, X-Pipe, any booster?...)
    Congratulations, I can't accelerate that way without raising the front wheel or losing control on the rear wheel (Traction Control Off).
    I love all your videos! :)

  • @Speedytrip

    More interested in the 0-60 then top speed. Looks like you did it in 3 seconds, WOW! So what have you done. Slip ons, X pipe and improved air filter. Is that all? Do you get any popping from pipes and if so does it annoy you? Thanks Adam! Like I said buying in May. ST or MT-09. I am leaning with the ST with results like this. ST just has more character!

    • @AdamCroll
      @AdamCroll  4 роки тому +1

      I always wanted a MT-09 as well, but yes the character of the ST is through the roof compared to the MT. I do have some popping however the booster plug installed along with plenty of ecu adaptation time has brought it down to a minimum. I don’t even notice it anymore.

    I was really contemplating trading my 2005 6 speed Monster 620 (top speed 204kmph/126 mph) for a 22 speed twin, but after looking at this top speed from a 1200 cc motor, it is not more faster. Was expecting this to touch 240/250 km/hr

    • @Captain_Yodelstein
      @Captain_Yodelstein 2 роки тому

      Speed twin has close gear ratios. Top speed is lacking but the pull up to 90mph (still in break-in restrictions, 5k rpm limit no full throttle) is pretty good. If you get a chance to test ride one take it. I'm coming off a Triumph Sprint GT. Ran that up to 147 mph (speedometer indicated). The speed was deceptive on that bike. I was worried about the lack of performance going to a Speed Twin...but the torque comes in low and makes you hold on. It is a fun bike....so like I said, if you get a chance to test ride one do it. You might be impressed.

  • @gliddofglood
    @gliddofglood 4 роки тому +1

    You might have squeezed out a few more mph wearing one-piece or zip-together leathers. Jeans must be costing you something. Mind you, I wouldn't really fancy 125 mph in jeans... The tacho was well into the red, though. It probably wouldn't be that good for it using many more revs. Let's face it, if you're really worried about top speed, there are about a zillion faster bikes you can buy, which is why I don't understand why anyone would waste their time tweaking a Speed Twin expensively for more bhp. I have this and a Ducati 999. The Ducati has lots more top end and with a fairing, you can use it. The Triumph delivers huge amounts of fun in other ways (and I know which I prefer in town).
