Such a well done video, start to finish!
Thank you.
Thank you for this review! I have the same bike and we are the same height. Would like to see more videos on the Speed Twin from you :)
Thanks! More coming.
Hi bombo I am same hight as you I have 22 year 1200 speed twin my question is can you flat foot this bike I can't prelod is set up one from lowest setting truly enjoyed the vid on oil and filter change and the reset from the land down under
not flat foot. buy i normally use only one foot when stopping.
Hermano, tengo una Speed Twin 1200 2023 y siento que a más de 100 km/hr la moto la mueve el viento. Deja de ser divertido.
Agreed.
try a more aero helmet...What I been using the last 5+years now are the vintage style helmets cause they don't have all those air ducts to catch wind. These types of helmets are also smaller outside cause they don't have the empty air passage ways inside. Several giveaways that tell a helmet is un-aero, wind noise is the main one (wind noise from the neck/chin area doesn't count but everywhere else on the helmet is an indicator), when you turn your head to check blind spot how much does the helmet catch the wind and cranks your neck to that side, how much pressure/force on your neck pushing your head back cause the helmet catches so much wind at 80+. But having a small screen as you said in the video does concentrate more air onto your helmet. I pretty much ride with no windscreen cause it is just cleaner air.
Thanks. Any helmet recommendations?
@@TheManToys Ones I have used. Bell Bullet which has some ventilation but the bubble shield does catch wind when checking blind spot so go with the flat shield. The Bullet is a little narrow for my round head at the temples. Biltwell GringoS has no vents but I don't recommend cause the face shield is not sealed against the helmet so lets in dust particles. I actually prefer the Gringo over the GringoS but the Gringo uses a snap on face shield so does not flip open. Gringo is a tad bit more round than the Bullet but I can still feel narrowness towards the back sides corner of head. Currently using Simpson M30, the most round fitting of the three but I do feel a little narrowness just above my ears. Chin bar vent really well almost like a dirtbike helmet, has a thick rubber seal against the shield, I think is the quietest of the three. Just got an Aria Rapide Neo Asian market model and it fits like a glove. The only helmet that has ever felt perfect upon first try, no need to break-in. Don't think I'll ever buy another N.American market helmet ever again after this. The M30 is actually also a Asian market helmet that sold here in N.America. The Rapide Neo that is sold here in N. America differs and is more narrow or intermediate oval as they call it. I haven't ridden the Neo yet but will try to this weekend. Neo also has some venting similar to Bullet.
@DaBinChe thank you for this!
Bro you and I have the same problem. I have a 2022 Speed Twin and I am 5'6". I KNOW the problem of riding that thong-like saddle. Does moving the handlebars back relieve the stress on the shoulders?
It felt more comfortable and confidence inspiring.
Loved the video.. As a short rider myself, I can't flat foot ST 1200, so I have been thinking about ST900. In your experience does it matter - I can flat foot maybe 90% both sides but not fully?
I have never been able to flat foot both feet. As you gain more experience, you fill find that you don't need to put both feet down. You only need to put one foot, typically the left foot and keep the tight on there rear brake. Im thinking about making a video for short riders as there are many tricks of the trade that I have learned through the years. Do you think that would help?
@@TheManToys Yes that will really help. Not on this topic, but does ST1200 get really hot ? I hear folks talking about that being a big deal.
I don't notice it. It's like any other motorcycle lol. Maybe on the traffic light. the heat is nothing compared to my Scrambler 900 due to the placement of the exhaust. If you get the ST1200, you will be happy with it.

Thats why i try do avoid riding this thing on the Autobahn. As long as im driving normal streets in the wood and hills im comfy i also like the wind cause it keeps me down from speeding to much
Which Dart windscreen do you recommend, the smaller one or the bigger one?
Both look awesome that’s why I bought an extra windscreen for 50 bucks since they are interchangeable. If I can only pick one, i would go with the classic (bigger).
Thank you. The classic looks like more wind protection. That’s what I’m going to go with@@TheManToys
dont put your phone on that mount without a vibration dampener. your phone's camera will only last a couple rides before it gets destroyed.
So far no issues with the camera.
Same thing happened to my iPhone 11, bought a quadlock with vibration damper and it’s all good now, you’ve been warned!
What are torque settings for bracket?
That's a really well done vid man, I shall try the handlebar adjustments, however my answer would have been in lower set bars, which is not a cheap option ;-)
Thanks for the tips!
you should change your jacket too. try alpinestar Luc v2 air jacket. it should reduce the wind rejection
Will definitely look into it. Thank you.
Hey man, enjoy your videos! Where did you get those mirrors for your triumph? I've got some stock circle mirrors and while they are alright I wouldn't mind getting something a little more aggressive looking like the ones you've got on your speed twin.
The mirrors were stock.
Thanks for the compliments!
Nice bike! I have the same spec speed twin. Just a suggestion, for wind relief try a shoei RF1400. I have the older version the RF1200. Made a huge difference for me.
Thanks for the tip!
I started just wearing ear plugs and it does help a lot.
Man up bro! 😂
right!? lmao
@@TheManToys😂 glad those adjustments helped you. I’ll find out by the end of the weekend if I need to do some adjustments
@SirTrizzle let me know how it goes.
