      @@brandino9000 highly recommend. And I'm a massive Honda fan.
      For the street, you have a well balanced suspension, good power delivery. You have torque with a good amount of revs. It almost is really the best of both worlds. (Twin and inline 4)
      Brakes are nice and beefy.
      Looks like DC black manta 😆.
      If I was to be picky, I would say it's annoying to have to pull the clutch to start the engine.

      Hi.
      I have never rode a naked bike. How is the wind on the freeways and does the wind beat you up longer rides.
      Would be a concern for me.

      @@modpup as someone with 3 nakeds including this bike, on the Speed Triple, wind is only an issue at speeds over 110 mph. And by "issue" I mean if you are going to sustain those kinds of speeds, you will need to lie on the tank. My Street Twin, where you sit more upright, over 80 is a workout.

    I love my 2022 Speed Triple RS. Suspension is a bit stiff but you can tune it to be pretty great on the street. My best mod was a pair of Michelin Power 5 tires. Changes the bike in such a nice way for street riding. Plenty of grip and not as harsh riding as the Metzelers that come in it. Now if they did that orange in a gloss finish I might just trade up a year😊

    I ride a BMWR1250R, which I confess is a fantastic bike to ride on the road, especially on twisty A roads. It is now 3 years old, but I do have niggles. It is not an easy bike to start on a cold day, the battery can go flat easily without a good run, needs a special battery charger. Also have not good used to the TFT display, and when a service is due it is covered all over (service due) except for the speedo, which is damn annoying. Also my dealer is 50 miles away, and it is difficult to get it serviced elsewhere. There is a major triumph dealer in town, and this bike really appeals to me as a trade in. Yes it has more hp, but candidly, the BM really pulls as well with similar 0-60 figure. It also tremendous low rev torque (I never take it above 4000 rpm on the road, there is no need). My one concern is habing ridden boxers a long time I do like shaft drive.

    I think that all of the motorcycle companies don't have a clue about what people really want. they think that people want naked bikes. but they don't want naked bikes. what people really want are sport bikes with fairings, but with naked bike ergonomics. they are buying naked bikes because they are sick of the modern day sport bikes that are track racing bikes with back breaking ergonomics that you cannot be comfortable on for more than a half an hour. with unusable back seats. This new Speed triple 1200 RS is an amazing bike. I love it, but you cannot use the power because anything over 70 and the wind is hammering you like a hurricane, so what good is the power. give me a bike that I can go 150 on without being hammered by the wind. and I guarantee that 90% of people agree with me. I just bought a DUCATI Supersport because it is one of the only sane bikes on the market. a sport bike with a fairing, with reasonably comfortable ergonomics. and for people who say the wind isn't bad on a naked bike. they are full of it. you can't get around the FACT that if you are going 120 mph. then the wind is hitting you at 120 mph. that is a level 3 hurricane. and a 150mph is a level 5 hurricane. it's simple logic.
