Welcome to my 1st anniversary video with my Triumph Speedmaster 1200! Yes, it's been a year already!
In this video, I talk about the bike, do an extended walk around with what I've done to the bike, and what I'd like to... Then what has gone wrong and what I don't like about it...
I hope that you enjoy this!

England's countryside is beautiful, and the Speedmaster is some serious eye candy. By the way, I like the Union Jack.
Thank you… it is beautiful!
I removed the Union Jack in the end and added gold ones to where the tank knee pads usually go… it’s always evolving!
I say,one absolutely loves the union jack on the petrol tank ,it's absolutely wonderful what !!!
She is a wonderful looking filly,
Keep it up sir .
Tally bloody bally ho what !!!
See you later cap .👍👍👍👍🤞
Tally Bally Ho!
Just picked up a 2020 across the pond here. Your reviews are excellent. Love the bike.
Yes it has cruise control and range is 120-150 miles depending on load and riding style
The straight handle bars absolutely make that bike 👍
Thank you!
Very good reviews, love the attitude!
What is making me jump a lot is the sudden loud outbursts while talking, popping my speakers.
Sorry about that… I try to turn the volume down in the edit but it’s produced for mobile devices really so that it’s loud enough for people to hear on iPads and iPhones etc… tv speakers are a little difficult to cater solely for…
How time flies, good to see Merlin is treating you right.
Its definitely a beautiful bike, you've specced it out marvelously!
The oxidizing issue is absurd, i really don't understand why the don't treat the metal to prevent this.
They advisements at point of sale that you have to clean it, or should... In the past they have coated them but water seeped in and the corrosion was worse anyway, so they've decided not to bother and leave it to the user... There are plenty of products out there, so I suppose fair enough... I just think that the ceramic coating doesn't work as well as advertised...
@@CaptainRambunctious I'm a new(ish) rider with a new 2022 speedmaster. I love her (The Morrigan) but want to try to prevent the oxidizing. Any advice on specific cleaning products? Cheers!
@@ginger-witch the best thing to do is use either ACF50 or just GT85 when cleaning the bike… it helps to protect. Ultimately just clean it straight after riding in any salt
Excellent morning viewing. I have the British Customs turn outs with the cat in on my bobber black. Slightly louder on start up with a lovely burble. After 3000 rpm they come alive worth a little look from Square deals.
Look forward to the next review old bean.
Thank you Stuart! It will be down to price, but BC have replied to me and said that they are making some polished sleeper pros which is the look I'm after... I'm happy to settle for cheaper straight pipes or turn outs in the interim...
Thanks for watching!
TBH!
Zing...hazard lights...don't need em; not a Harley. Had to pause and still laughing. Needed that; thank you Captain.
Jolly good show old chap :) Spiffing film indeed :)
I have just ordered the blue one. Thanks for your review, all your vids for that matter, a breath of fresh air on the internet.
I love your videos and you have an easy going laid back manner thats relaxing to watch. Your speedmaster looks great too.
Just a point though the Thunderbird Storm has 156 NM of torque not 115.
Aaaagh... fair enough... I know what I did there... 156nm = 115 lbft! 😂 Whoops! Fair point!
Thanks for watching and the correction!
Captain Rambunctious no problems, I thought that’s what you might have done. Keep up the good content. Cheers
They have come a long way since I bought my '76 T140 out of the crate for $Au3.2k. Bitch of a bike with slotted screws to my Amals on one side, and phillips heads on the other; rear brake caliper snapping after a month; 1 into two throttle system continually sticking; and yes, lots of alloy pitting and chrome rust too. But she was my daily ride and I I loved her through rain, hail and snow.
Love the sticker, keep it!
I agree!
God I Love mine and I like what you did with yours. I went with a more classic "cruiser" style: Same paintjob of course, the comfort seat, brushed aluminium covers and TPS badges (no salt in my part of the woods thankfully), Chrome highway bars and teardrop mirrors and the same short stem indicators... Apparently mine was made in 2019 too (most likely). Only a bit less than 5000 km (damn covid) but no problems whatsoever.
Looking forward to the Wales video. Cheers
Excellent stuff! Yes there’s quite a few different ways you can go with the speedmaster... it’s amazing that you can make it your own..
@@CaptainRambunctious Indeed! Next up for me is luggage (when conditions permit some actual travel). I'll be checking out your solution for sure. I think I like it more than the Hepco & Becker CBow system I've been eyeing...
I need a sticker like that for my Mini. Love the bike.
Beautiful machine😎😎
Thanks Weggy!
I love your bike! Super cool. I think that might be my next motorcycle! Thanks for all the info.
Great mod’s! I did the tec de-cat and Zard slip ons - with the airbox elimination kit from AJ cycles in the states - love the sound and added pep!
I like the sticker,, and enjoyed the review,, I’m still on the fence about getting the speedmaster,,have to convince the bride,,happy riding from Maine USA
Thank you. Check out my 3 year review, might give you more ideas…
Enjoyed the video, Captained “Entertainer” should be!
Thanks Mark! I try!
I must say very jovial Craik intertwined with entertaining review 😂
Glad you enjoyed it Gary! Thanks for watching!
Great review Captain. I have to vote no on the sticker but if you like it that's all that matters. I am happy that you are back on UA-cam. I did not see you for a long time. Maybe it was me. I had one of the first Speedmasters in the past and wish I had it now. They are $19,000 here in Thailand. Thanks again.....Sal : )
Pro sticker as well. Tis a nice bike. Before I got the 2005 t 100 air cooled, i saw a beautifully maintained 2012 Speed master, but the girl who owned the t100 had put so many add-ons on it that I fell for it over the cruiser look. Coming from a VMAX, I leaned more to the classic look. Though the engine size lost 300 cc,s. I used to have a 75 CB 750, so the t100 fell into that category. But surprised to find the honda actually had more hp, at 749 CC than the Triumph. Maybe one day I'll swap out for a 1200 again. But at 68, not sure I wanna have that much umph under my wrist. We have many more crazy drivers here in FLA usa.
Thanks again Capt. Keep the tires firmly planted,,
“Don’t need hazard lights because it’s not a Harley” ha! well played 😂
Why thank you! 😎
Liked the info on height and arm length to why you have the straight bars, as well
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
That's a bloody splendid motorcycle that I quite like! Good Sir.
Thank you sir! I’m quite partial to it too!
I just got the previous version, a 2015 Speedmaster 865, and am looking forward to getting it on the road. Having only owned British bikes, Triumph and Norton, I will have to get used to shifting on the left. Can't wait.
Hi De Ho Captain ,message from the missus KEEP THE STICKER cheers Glenn
Splendid Sir he looks wonderful
the way you talk is brilliant, its like pg wodehouse, sort of thing, unabridged of course, naturally
Naturally! Thank you. Thanks for watching!
Well done squadron leader very informative chest out boy no slouching in the ranks always ready for a scramble keep them coming.
Un saludo desde España. En unos días podré disfrutar de la mía.
Un abrazo capitán.
This guy is off his rocker.
It's awesome.

What an awesome compliment!! Thank you!
Tally Bally Ho!
Great video .. I think all the work for mid controls is worth the effort . Just to be able to post more on the bumpy stuff .. .. Andy of Missenden is 5 8 with a 32 inch leg .. You are 6 1 with the same inseam and at 5 10 I sadly have a 29 inch leg so the taller bikes are waiting to tumble if I get on them .. WHen I was making pottery in Wales the summer of 1970 I remember the County of Pembrookshire would call a bank holiday if the sun came out ... . Riding in Wales in December is the coldest I have ever been and it gets cold here in New England .. Wet cold is the hardest and that cloud of ice you rode through in the valleys ..Iceing up a Bellstaff..... . Burrrrrr .
Sorted! A good update. A friend (yes I have one, made it earlier...) has the Speedmaster, and I, the T120. Could waffle on for ages, but you've said it all. Good stuff.
You are absolutely right. The horn sounds great. Fools auto drivers that it's not you telling them your there, so they blame it on other car driver's ha. Thanks for the cue in.
Thank you for watching it and enjoying it!
Captain my captain, Why after all these years with the road runner bike horns, they haven't come out with a factory looking loud auto sounding horns. Bike batteries and charging system s don't seem to drive a car horn to full loudness. Back in the 70s ,i had an old t500 Suzuki. I placed a car horn on it, but it would never sound full voice.
I just bought a 2005 t 100 bonneville with carbs. So have some learning to do.
Oh yes,salt is terrible on our shiny things. Take care Capitan.
The Denali horn is brilliajtb
LOVED my GT 500, crack on...........
@@lauriebloggs8391 I remember there was a gt 500 as well. More sporty than my t 500. Thanks.
@@peterford9369 Alas, I think it was the other way, the GT was 3 bhp down (wow) and geared up a bit. I think it had slightly smaller carbs. Loved that engine, vibes an' all!
Have the same horn as Capn R on my t120.............
@@lauriebloggs8391 Back then all i cared about was the reliability. She kicked over every morning , to get me to work, and got me home every eve. I still have the manual I think. I sold it for same price I bought it for 13 years later. By then It was a classic. When I first saw pics of the gt, I was envious. Disk front brake , swept rear seat. I think even the tank was cooler looking. Then came the 75, Honda CB 750. No smoking, less buzzy, electric and,,,,kick start,just in case.
I actually bought the Triumph cause I missed riding. Wanted something just to ride. Haven't riden for 6 years. Figured a 900 would be enough. Sold my VMAX about 6 years ago, hadn't riden since. I love the style. Plus the girl who owned it did alot to it. And it's mint. Loud too. She put slashed, out bound light baffled slip on s on it. That's why I want a bigger horn. The 120 does sound like a highway machine. 1200, like my old Max. Man that sucker was fast. At 6000 rpm,v boost, kicks in. In every gear. The first time it hit i was pulling my visor down and it almost lost it. Taught me kwik. So I'm figuring with EFI the 120 does alright. Cap never sounded the horn, that I heard. So not sure the sound. But if it's auto loud, that's fine.
Thanks for the memories LB. Ride safe.
Can't understand how i missed this one! Anyway, lovely bike, the Speedmaster has long been my favourite. Regarding the corrosion problem, you can't beat a dollop of decent wax on all the brightwork, (not the discs LOL) Autoglym is my favourite and it's the very first thing i do after getting a new bike, it works a treat! As far as i can tell, ceramic coatings are just another expensive gimmick.
It's a shame they don't sell the Speedmaster as an all-black stock version like the new bobber. Would instantly fix all the corrosion issues and it really fits the badass look as Merlin demonstrates nicely! I know there is a whole lot of aftermarket stuff to black it out but considering the price for the bike I don't have the extra money to put in to do that.
I'm currently looking to change my ride and I'm torn between the Speedmaster and the Indian Scout Bobber (had considered the bobber black too but a single ride with basically no loading capacity is kinda dealbreaker for me). I've had similar problems with corrosion on my old chrome cruiser so that's something I'd really like to avoid and the fact that you mentioned it too is kinda pushing me to the Indian... which is a pity because apart from that the Speedmaster apears superior to me!
Any idea how much you've spent on those blacked details so far? Also, your luggage systems looks pretty capable and fits the style. Care to share your specific setup there?
You had me at, "It fit's a bottle of whisky." New Subscriber.
Another splendid offering sir! Does the Speedmaster have cruise control? I have considered the Speedmaster but, having suffered a Thunderbird 900 with a 15L fuel tank (and severe range anxiety), I think that 12L tank would mess with my head. I look forward to your range-to-empty test. In the meantime, I'm selling my Tiger 800xc (too tall, too top heavy) and have bought a 2015 Guzzi V7ii. Now that has a 21L fuel tank! TBH.
Awesome! It will always get at least 120 miles so I’m happy with that!
It does have cruise control! Very easy one button affair...
I can't believe I am watching a video of a moving "Triumph" rear-view mirror and seeing a _completely_ _clear_ image! That can't be right...
You are one cheery fellow. Love it
I put white walls on my speedie and it looks great;)
Please share a pic
Great video Good Sir! It's fantastic to have you back in good form Sir! Merlin is a beautiful Machine! You are confused on one feature of the bike. Those are NOT hazard lights as you keep refering to them. Those are the STRAIGHT signal lights!
Cheers.
Sir Ed of Sandy Hook.
TTRGuy thank you Sir Ed!!
Part 1 of the wales trip is now live too! 2 vids in one day?! I must be mad!!
@@CaptainRambunctious LOL Good Sir!
Sir Ed of Sandy Hook
Cracking bike absolutely love it, really interesting 33 minutes, great job.
Thank you! I’ve been doing a few more things if you want to follow on instagram! 😂
Very smart bike Captain. Bet you were highly pissed off the morning you woke and found the shiny bits all rusty though! Cool vid as always.
Absolutely! But they got it sorted... 😁
Great video.,.when you removed the stock mirrors what plugs did you put in threaded holes?
Very nice machine,very comfortable 👌
A wonderful machine : )
Hello captain noticed you did a review of the triumph bobber few years back I'm loving both & struggling to pick between bobber & speedmaster both fantastic.
Ultimately the bobber is less practical luggage wise and can’t take a pillion. The speedmaster hasn’t got the same ground clearance in the corners as the bobber so they are the main differences. When it comes to handlebars it doesn’t matter as I have the bobber black bars on my speedmaster. All parts are exchangeable…
The main thing to note is that the original bobber only has a single front brake disc as apposed to dual discs on the bobber black and speedmaster.
@@CaptainRambunctious
Thanks for info 👍
Why when you were riding with Bigglesworth, I thought Merlin was a bobber. But it's a Speedmaster?
Oh I hate that when you have frontend wobble. Not very reassuring.
I know there's a sleeve in the levers made of nylon, that may be the problem? Not sure but its either that or the cable ball or worn lever. Still works fine I'm sure, but ya always want everything in perfect condition.
I know this is an old video so you've probably aimed the horn down. Water inside will definitely not benefit anything.
I keep trying to find a loud horn that matches the factory ones, without the open horn, but no luck. They always sound like VW bug horns, meep,meep.
I made a comment when you 2uped with Bigglesworth about your saddle style seat about springs. But wasn't sure if you have springs on that seat.
Anyway nice seeing Merlin again. I know now u have the brass fuel cap. Are they real brass, or coated? Looks nice.
Take good care of him.
Tally Bally,
Thanks Peter. Some of my videos are published out of order so if there isn’t a brass tank cap then it’s an older video… the cap I have is solid brass but you can get cheaper ones that are brass coated.
Denali do very good horns.
The pillion seat isn’t sprung but the rear has a mono shock under the seat anyway so no need for seat springs…
Merlin is a Speedmaster but that’s just a bobber black with a read…
Hope this makes sense…
That was a quick year
Hello captain loving the bike 🏍
Number plate looks great, is it a metal or plastic number plate & we're can I get great one like this.
Comfortable bike for a tall fellow.
Very much so! Thank you for watching!
All of those dealer "coatings" are a waste of time. ACF50 is the only stuff I've seen make a real difference to slowing corrosion over winter use.
I completely agree with you!
Can we please get a tallyhoo sometime when you hit the freeway.
Great video and review!
T St thank you!
Do you think the speed master will be face lifted soon ? Just wondering if they would increase the tank capacity? Might need to carry fuel flask to top up on tour thanks Alan
They just have been. No increase in tank size but I do get 140 miles to a tank...
High, a beautiful engine. Kindly Fiete
Great video ! The wife and I both have Speedmasters , love this bike ! Your horn upgrade is perfect, can you reply or post with the brand/model or any additional info ? Thanks !
It’s a Denali sound bomb mini. Should be able to find them easily online!
Thank you. Love the speedmaster too! Thanks for watching!
Nice bike but Christ it's exhausting listening to you. I almost made it through to the end
Very well done for the effort! Some people enjoy it, some don’t! Thanks for trying!
This looks good but not from far away
Nice looking bike and great colour but in keeping with Triumph heritage you should put a Thai flag on the tank.
sounds great
Thank you Malcolm! Check out my latest video if you like the sound from this one... I believe that I've made an improvement...
Ever tried riding a bike with primative TC on wet grass? If so you'll understand why you can defeat it.
You forgot to mention the 'Cruise Control' :)
J Edwards of course!!! Whoops! It’s excellent by the way... 😁
@@CaptainRambunctious It sure is
Superbe review 🙏
Pretty sick bike. 😎
Thank you very much!
@@CaptainRambunctious just put a deposit down. For T100 first bike. Hopefully she will be fun and fast enough. Test ride seemed to prove so.
@@tlong9812 it’s a great first bike! Looks the part and yet easy to ride and great fun too! Enjoy!!
what about the cruise control, has it got it
It has indeed! I go through all that when I get the bike so I didn’t want to repeat myself too much!
It has got the one touch cruise control and it’s excellent. Maintains very well and very easy to set.
@@CaptainRambunctious ok thx :-)
Are you all sure that wasn't Lord Flashheart commentating this video?
Ha ha!! My alter ego has been found out!!
Wow I want one
Nice Bike where did you purchase the Union Decal please?
james the fith right here sir!
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/381545263811
They do individual kingdoms too!
You sound like the head correction officer from clockwork orange when alex is being booked into the prison
Dressed up like a Union Jack 🇬🇧.
Great vids, very informative.
Can you tell me if the speedmaster has the risk of gearbox issues as experienced with T120 etc, or has the issue been re-engineered and resolved, any concerns with material mismatch and noisey breaks, have the wiring looms been secured with quality fixings. Any other concerns triumph are currently managing.
Really keen to purchase, your knowledge and feedback is greatly appreciated.
Warranty (should) cover any gearbox troubles...?
@@martycech5844 What about when the warranty expires or you buy used. There shouldn't be any engineering problems today, WTF is going on ?
Great review and very nice bike but not as nice as my Harley, ha,ha!!
😂
How much does all the engine black out kit cost without the c black exhaust system ? Captain enjoyed the Wales videos 👍
Glad you enjoyed them!
They were a few hundred pounds but they’re not available at the moment for some reason. My guess is that they’ll come back after the launch of the new face lifted models… essentially bobber black bits…
It is cheaper to just get the brushed cases powder coated like on my thruxton… depends if you know someone local or can do it yourself. One caveat to that is make sure the coating isn’t too thick on the back of the cases as the gaskets don’t seat properly… I just had to retighten my engine case bolts twice to crush it flat over a few weeks… easy enough.
for your flat bar did you get the shorter cable kit? I am thinking about getting flat abr but also backward/up bar riser for the riding comfort
I did get the shorter cable kit. But you might not need it if you are getting a riser. I think the best option is to buy it and see
You don't put any tyoe of fairings on your bikes? You always mention the wind. I just have the tiny headlight screen and it does push the air up and over to some degree. Had one on my VMAX and loved it. Byyyyyye, HAHA!
Thanks Peter. I just think that I’m the wrong height for screens. They either push the air into my shoulders or onto the visor of my helmet creating wind noise. I prefer the unturbulent and undirected wind... you just lean into it! 😁
Just watching again. It is a nice looker alright. I have the 2005 air-cooled t100, and I'm getting a center stand in hopefully soon. So hard to work on with just the side stand. It doesn't have all the bling as yours,,but I'm happy.
I was shocked to find that my old 75 CB 750, had more hp as the t100. Maybe I'll trade in the t100 for the 1200.
Ride on, me Capt. And stay safe.
Love this bike..but I commute on my bikes and need them to cope with the UK weather. Can Melin cope Captain?
Merlin does cope! But if commuting everyday, there are a lot of spokes to look after!
@@CaptainRambunctious Ah indeed. I just cover them in waxoil in the winter, as I would the rims. Works a treat
Did u cut the brake line or clutch line with this handlebar?
Got the shorter bobber cables with it.
elle est superbe avec ce guidon BRAVO
Good evening Capn' Now I am looking at changing motorcycles and the Speedmaster is well up there, even though like all Triumphs it's a bit over-priced. The thing that's bothering me though are the well-documented Bonneville Gearbox issues. Have you heard of them and what are your thoughts on them?
sfbdotcom I heard of the gearbox issues but I’ve not had them on any bike I’ve ridden... there’s obviously an issue but I think there’s a workable fix that I read on the Bonneville Facebook page anyway...
I wouldn’t let things like that put you off. Similar issues with any bike really and I think it’s down to luck if you have one of those bikes anyway... it seems a random occurrence rather than a bad batch of VIN numbers or where they were built... but no, I’ve never had an issue or met anyone personally who has had that experience...
@@CaptainRambunctious I think they are Ok after a certain VIN which I think yours is. There is a leaked service bulletin which Triumph put out giving details. Stuart Fillingham mentioned it on his channel (Yes I know he's a bit of a BOF, but he is thorough) All told, there are a few quality issues tho'.
sfbdotcom I saw his video! I do like what he does
I'm sorry, did you just say the Thunderbird Storm puts out only 115nm of torque? I'm pretty sure it puts out 156nm
115 Ftlbs... I got my units muddled!
@@CaptainRambunctious ah, that makes sense! Totally jealous by the way. I've always wanted a go on that storm and you speedy! Keep up the great videos
Wonderful 🇧🇷 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
So where is the 3 year review, we need that information!!!
That is due on Friday being the 23rd and Merlin’s 3rd birthday! I suppose I can do a video this afternoon! Good idea!!
Beautiful bike, where did you get those gloves!!!!!
I’m afraid that they are now discontinued. They were original Triumph gloves from 2013.
What made you switch to the flat bars? I'm not sure I could get used to the stock beach bars. Not much of a forward lean change I hope?
The stock beach bars were too close to me and I prefer to be pulled forward... not too far, just right. I’m leaning slightly forward of vertical which is actually perfect for a bit of leaning into the wind. I find it spot on but others find the beach bars are great. I think it depends on how tall you are.
@@CaptainRambunctious I am 173cm, would the stock bars be allright for me then? Planning on ordering one soon.
I know someone who is 195cms and says the stick bars are fine. 🤷🏼 so they’ll be fine whatever, just not for me! 😁
You do sound just like Alan Partridge 😂 nice bike though.
Speedmaster seems perfect for you and your personality, but is it as fun as the old Thruxton?
Yes, I think so! The instant oomph is there! The only difference really is the better legroom but worse ground clearance...
Love your videos. Where did you get your gloves? Thanks
Thank you and thank you for watching! They are Triumph ones that were discontinued about 6 years ago!! There are newer Union Jack ones out there but not as nice in my opinion!
@@CaptainRambunctious thanks for your response. I agree they are not as nice. Shame they discontinued them. Keep up the good work 😊
Very nice machine😊
Beautiful countryside where is that located
That’s around Buckinghamshire.
Captain- I am a T 100 rider looking into trading up to the SpeedMaster. Reason is long distance cruising and power upgrade. Are there any downsides other than the money it's going to cost me to trade up?
They are quite different in terms of handling and ground clearance... you’ll scrape the legs more, and you might find the position a bit testing on your lower back if you’re not used to it. Forward foot controls also mean your weight is all through your bottom instead of spread through legs and arms as well....
I find all of this fine... I prefer the shape over the T120. The T120 is the natural progression from the T100 is just looking for power...
Definitely ride one and see if you fit the ergonomics...
I do miss going round corners fast but that’s not what the speedmaster is about... if you like the thrill of leaning the bike over through the corners then the speedmaster isn’t for you... the speed twin might be with the SW Motech panniers that I have on my speedmaster?
@@CaptainRambunctious I appreciate the feedback. Getting blown around on highway is no fun. Going all back roads makes a long trip like twice as long. I am 66 and not heading for the track anytime soon. Again thank! Cheerio!
Captain Rambunctious, can you please tell me what panniers you have. I also have the speedmaster 2018. 😊
They are the SW Motech legend panniers with the SLC racks... they’re brilliant
@@CaptainRambunctious thank you my friend. I must also say I do enjoy your ramblings and follow you with keenness. 😊
Thank you very much Tony! You just like watching me make all the mistakes so you know not to do it to your Speedmaster! 😂
@@CaptainRambunctious. You have style 🙂
Thank you!
Where did you get the straight handlebar?
Triumph. It’s the bobber black bar but is an accessory for the speedmaster.
Do you have still the speedmaster?
I do indeedy!!
Loving it…
I’ve done a 3 year ownership review so that might help…
Nice bike but it definitely needs De-cat and straight pipes. Lose that sticker as well. Looks out of place. If it were black and white it would look better.
Nope, love the sticker 👍🏻
Why? Just because YOU don't see the appeal doesn't mean it's necessary to change it. It's not your bike.
You are riding at the wrong side of the street! 😏
Ha ha! Just watch through a mirror!
