- Description The 2016 Triumph Speed Triple R. This motorcycle is the perfect recipe for those that don't want what the 1290 Super Duke or the S1000R bring. Then the triple is always the answer!

Can’t wait to see your review of the 2018 speed triple RS. Your straight to the point, no BS style is gold.
Love how you state the bad along with the good really adds to the quality of your reviews
Best naked for the road period. Screw stats, I owned the Superduke 1290, it's a great bike but the extra torque and horsepower will just get you put in jail or dead. The throttle on the duke is snatchy and violent. I traded for the 16 speed S. The bike is more comfortable, the engine is super smooth, the brakes are just as good, it's got enough power to get your adrenaline pumping, and the overall attention to detail on this bike is amazing. Unless you go to the track every weekend get the Triumph.
100%!
You are right with stats for Ex duke dude..But the dukes exhaust sounds jus like shit flow unless you just want to race..Nthng can beat the triple exhaust and decent power and great head turning character 👍🏻
i just riiden the new speed triple in some nice twisted roads and i have to say that this is a very enjoyable bike with a very smooth but also agressive engine, fantastic sound and nice feel in the corners. Well done TRIUMPH!!
+B_ Mo It's just a great bike!
Looking at upgrading from my first bike--ninja 650r--to this stunner.
I have a '15 Street Triple RX. Economically it's insane to trade in and get one of these but I am soooo ready to do that. Just have to think of a good excuse at home ;)
my 2000 speed triple is still the most fun bike I've been on. And theres something about those dual round headlights still makes me all giddy inside when I look at them =)
I can't imagine an extra 30-40 hp with almost 100lbs shaved off!
I love your reviews!! Keep them coming!
Love your reviews. Short and to the point. I'll have to swing by the dealership one of these days to check out that speed triple.
+Art Hernandez I look forward to it.
I've been waiting for you to review this! The headlights and cowl still need to grow on me, but looks like an amazing bike
Yes went on one of these yesterday, fantastic bike its so light and handles so well and boy it pulls like a bull with a chilli up its arse!!
Your videos are sooo underrated buddy. A lot of love from the UK
+j mac Thanks for the support!
Love it man, I agree that this bike has tons of feeling. I got 11k miles on my S1000XR now, and while I'm loving it, I still miss my '13 Speed Triple.
I agree 100 % , Speed has character, I sold S1000XR and returned to Triumph Speed Triple
+pawełmoto Awesome. I'm still enjoying my XR but the Speedie has a strong appeal.
+pawełmoto Is there anything you didn't like about the S1000XR?
I'm thinking about a naked... I'm getting tired of riding the sports bike all the time.
It's between the XR and Speed Triple.
vibrations on the footrests and handlebar , operation of the clutch lever , big noise of air around the helmet
Best real road bikes ever imo, i've owned 3 over the years, I need a '16 apparently! Great review Cal.
Thanks Bro!
I want one, i really, really want one, just a few more months. Cal Moto i'm calling you up when i get ready to buy.
Another great review. Much thanks. She's a beauty for sure.
+BigRedYeti Thanks Dude!
Nice Bike, I own a 2010 SE but...why does your s3 has the old direction indicators and not the new ones with leds??
Thanks for the review. Would love to hear your thoughts compared to the s1kr.
Love your reviews brother.
+Alexual Thank you for the support!
Very nice. Like your thoughts on it. I saw this up close but haven't gotten a chance to ride one yet. I'll be holding on to my 2013 for a while longer though.
Great! Will get mine in two weeks. Can't wait.
+Christian Thiele Beautiful....you'll enjoy every moment on it.
Finally somebody that actually knows how to ride a bike ...
Ohh yeah thanks alot man,,, im runnin a Motion Pro Rev 2 on my 08 CBR with a 55mm cam im kinda hooked on those since you can change the riding experience in two mins i have buddys that dont realize and when they come back they think she has like 150hp... but i guess you could achieve the same with a map,,, i love the Speedy and so does anyone whos ridden one as theyre not comparing it to a Tuono or somethin,,, Shes still a hooligan "Muscle Bike" if you want her to be... ill have to test one and see is all,,, Thanks man Keep safe...
I rode one, it's definitely awesome. Only problem is I bought a new FZ-1 only a year ago.
Just got mine, it's a great bike 😊
Awesome man, glad to hear your thoughts. What is your opinion of the new headlights?
Hello, I will watch your review of the new 2021 Speed triple 1200 if you make one ! I saw your reviews years ago 👍 Have a good day.
She's a beauty! Still tempted by the S1000XR though :)
Nice review. I loved the bike when I test rode it. So fun. Just need to work out how far my new commute will be if I go for this or the BMW R1200RS.
+blackprophesy Thank you! You can't really make a poor choice there. That said, the Triumph "S" is the super value.
Is there no more popping on decel?? :(
Sweet review as usual! Well done sir. I am looking HARD at a 2015 model, great deals up here in canuckland right now.
+Motophonic Thank you sir! The 2016 is better; that said, I love my 2015 and the deals are spectacular.
Ya, I gathered from your vid it is an improved machine, sounds like it has more pull.
Great review mate ! looks like the bike for me !
+Ned Find one to ride!
Nice I love this bike and the S1000R, can't decide between the two bikes. Btw I got my current bike from Calmoto, didn't know you guys had a youtube channel too. Cool stuff!
:) I obviously lean towards the Triumph.
+Cal Moto I'm thinking that too. Though its 20hp less I think that's the bike id look back at when I park it.
Great review - subbed!
Cheers!
Great bike. I love Triumphs. Went back and forth between the 2016 Speed Triple R and the new Bonneville. But couldn't resist the new Bonneville T120 Black.
"2016 Speed Triple....buy one"
So I did.
Best bike ever!!
Congratulations!
Why no led indicators?
I owned a Tiger 1050 and always wanted one of these, now it's calling to me......
Just did and yes,I luv it man 👍👍👍😆😆😆😉
...i dont get it... whats with the indicators? doesnt both 2016 models hv led indicators?!?!? oO
Even in Cali you get the Crumble. That even sounds more fun. Speed by name...
Very good sir! Thank you!
+Captain Rambunctious Cheers!
I want one, my dream bike
nice bike great review :)
+Rusty Sparks Thanks bro!
When the crumble first said he was interested in the Honda I did ask why the new speed hasn't caught his eye.
nothing beats the look of a 2005 to 2010 Speed Triple
#roundheadlightsforlife
Indeed, loving my 2007 I picked up about a month ago. beautiful bike, perfect condition and only 8300 miles on it.
Kenneth H next month gonna trade in my 2005 for a 2010, last cool looking triple
Oh man, enjoy! I'm with you, I really don't like the look of the headlights on the Speed Triple after 2010.
even if there is a conversion kit for the round headlights, there still is the "pregnant belly" gastank to worry about haha
Some people should get sacked in Hinkley....
Already did luv it 😁😁😁👍
I might want one soon!
Dude! I know you want one now:)
how to turn off traction control on 2016 speed triple R..can anyone answer n help me
Read the owners manual.
Howd U find the ride by wire compared to the older models?? Just wondering cause i dont like the idea of (asking) the ecu what to do,, ive only ridden a 2013 around the block to boot,,, So i figured youre one of the best guys to ask.... KeepSafe...
It felt great on the SP3...I didn't think about it at all. I like the cable throttle better than FBW on the Tiger. There was a lag off the bottom that I didn't like. Apparently it can be remedied with a remap. Hope this helps?
Love it and want one obviously. But I'm currently in heading into nowhere and looking at trees. I imagine I'll stop doing this soon and the Triple will be high on my shopping list. The BMW gets better reviews over here but it doesn't have the look or the character or the feel of the Speed. Best line: 'this is fucking fun' - I know how that feels! Keep it up dude - love the reviews!
+The Crumble The S1000R ? I mass debating on whether to get the S1000R or the Speed triple for my next bike to "Upgrade" from the Street Triple R. Rumour has it that I'll be getting one before 2025, but rumours are almost always inevitably wrong aren't they ? Thoughts ? we all have them and I'd like to see your's Crumble or Cal Moto, I'm not fussed, just fussy.
+The Crumble I think you'll need to go through an 1190 R and a GS before even thinking of pure street again. The KTM and BMW are tremendous street bikes. Keep doing what you do as long as we all get to see some of it!
quite disappointed that triumph did not change those flimsy signal lights. those are the first things to break.
Brilliant bike for money now%.It’s all you need on uk roads.You can’t properly rag the arse out of it,and it handles smooth.👍
Thanks for the Video
I'm surprise the bike does not come in the US with LED turn signal.
Also I've read somewhere, the DRL in the USA won't be LED. I saw on the video the DRL area on the front lights, but they were not ON. Are they just regular bulb? or maybe they don't even turn on? or are they still LED?
I know they just are details! but was wondering!
Thanks in advance!
The drl's are LED but the headlights stay on all the time due to regulations in the states. The DRL's kind of get overpowered by the headlights.
Thanks! I bought the bike since my question, but it might help other!
Always enjoy your straight up reviews. Have had any reliability issues with your speed triple so far? I think it looks sick but I hear some horror stories regarding its reliability and the availability of its parts.
Thanks bro! I have a 2015 SP3 and have had no issues. The 2016 Speed Triples are still too green here in California to know if there are any problems. At least we haven't seen any.
I see there is no bright dim switch for headlights as can be found on the Euro model, so how do you select high beams?
+russell paulson It looks like they can only be flashed.
+Cal Moto Just bought the bike yesterday, the switch that used to be flash to pass is now the bright dim switch, press once, brights on press again and back to normal.
+russ Thank you!!
The Crumble is an adventure motorcyclist now, I can't see him travelling around the world on a Speed Triple these days!
I'm just too old now dude ;)
Right off the bat.
I thought it could wheelie in Track mode. Am I wrong? Can't wait to check this bike out. Currently on an STR.
It will definitely wheelie in track mode
I saw you stalled it, another video a guy stalled it twice. Is anything wrong with the clutch?
No. The bike didn't stall, it just dropped too low in the rpm and died. I don't think it happened again.
how does it compare to the Tuono? last speed triple I rode was a '12. just tested the 16 Tuono
+Jace 2wheel Sadly, I have never ridden a Tuona. It's on the short list.
Triple has smooth power if memory serves. Tuono behaves but gets right insane real quick. 35 more horses in the v4.
"Buy one!"
-Ok!
Goes to the Triumph dealer
Do you know if the Thruxton R will come out in the US and if so when?
+ecfootball63 It's out now. I get one to ride today.
+Cal Moto Will that be uploaded today?
cant wait
hi.is this bike good for someone whos 5'5" i would aprciate the reply, thanks.
+Antonino Sacaffidi Only you can determine if you have confidence on a bike. At 5'5", you'll have issues on almost all bikes. I suggest you get a dirt bike and get used to it. Or, try a Street Twin.
Depends on what you're riding now, and depends on your inseam and the width of the seat, not your overall height.
And the rest is up to you.
And remember: whatever you look at, that's where the bike will go. Remember that. Being a shorty myself, I keep my damn fool head up in parking lots, and look where I want the bike to go. I have a 27" inseam, ride a Versys lowered 1".
Just get the damn bike.....You know you want it!!!
i did,pic it up on monday :-)
why didn't you change the traction control setting?
+Multi3dmaster The option was to turn it off and I didn't want to accidently loop the damn bike on a review;)
Beautiful bike. I like those lights the best of any I've seen on a Speed Triple. Better than the used 2012 R I'm looking at.
Shitty timing on those lights for any speed. Governments ruin everything they touch.
This is an industrial park and probably early AM, no cops hanging around. But just a bunch of straights and stoplights.
What's your point?
Another poster made a point about the cops being "nice." Point is, there are no cops. Would be cool if there were some curves nearby.
1 second ago•
No cops in California, that would be awesome.
There seems to be way less enforcement than there use to be. Will come over and check out the place soon.
Is this you running in a new engine?
That's right.
Why does it stall on you? That's not the first time I've seen the 2016 do that. What issues are they having? This bike really interests me but I'm not spending money on something brand new so it can be problematic lol.
I had this happen on several new Triumphs that are fly by wire. It seems to be a throttle position sensor issue that is solved by turning the ignition on w/o starting the bike and holding the throttle wide open so that the ecu and establish the position. I haven't experienced a stalling problem after doing that. Simple:)
You'd do this prior to each ride or once-and-done?
It's a "once and done"; however, you probably will have to do it every time the battery is disconnected. Now, go buy that beauty.
You're a bad influence haha. I shouldn't. But I may...
Love your review, so the price range is close to the BMW S1000 R, which one will you pick between the two? Going to replace my hayabusa after 10 years of riding it need a old man friendly bike. Thanks
+laserbot678 I would go for the SP3 S. It has fully adjustable Showa suspension, and is $2700.00 cheaper than the BMW. Plus, it has personality, the BMW doesn't.
+NinjaBum50 Yikes!
+NinjaBum50 Hey, if you're buying a bike by the numbers, the S1000R is the best bike....hands down. And when that beast is on the boil, nobody is thinking about character;)
Why did the Crumble swear off Speed Triples? he used to have the red one.
Not compared to the Aprilia Tuono 1100 Factory
Sounds like you love this more than the Super duke, am I right?
+roger jensen I'm a sucker for the triple. The Super Duke is a phenomenal motorcycle, but the Speed Triple is awesome, especially when you consider that the "S" model is $4200.00 less expensive.
Ride & Review the KTM RC390 next :D
+Charlie Johnson I've already done it.
Nice bike, with arrow exhaust makes really nice noise. Bad thing about triumph triples, they are really cramped, i cant sit in one for more than 15 min, im 1,86m and my legs were cramped
Maybe if you are shorter than me, but for me was quite uncomfortable
Huh? I didnt notice that at all and im 6'6"
I want one :´(
I was just wondering if you ever found yourself being chased by enraged state troopers ?
+john smith Ahhhh, like....yes!
What're the odds of fuckin up on the corner exits without TC?
Shorter;) I just did my first track day and rode my 2015 SP3 w/o TC and was just fine. I think it might be better to learn how to regulate the throttle manually. That's one reason I bought a 140 hp bike rather than a 180 hp bike.
Hmm, that's a good point. I think the smooth fueling and throttle response should help, but for other bikes, it could definitely be worse. Probably won't be getting a new bike until late 2017, but I am looking for that daily driver/track bike
Thanks for the response though!
Lov moto 1050 tph
Man, you don't mess around on a demo ride haha. 34 lbs lighter? I heard that right?
+kmfiz You did. It's a lot.
Speed Triple or Ducati Monster?
Speed Triple!!!!!
Cal Moto thx. How about Speed Triple or R Nine T?
Speed Triple. That said, it's not the saddle, but the man in the saddle:)
Cal Moto Thanks. Sounds like the ST is an awesome bike. I have not ridden the ST or R nine T but will take your advise and look into it.
Why no japanese bikes?
+Johnny Good I sell European bikes. In my area it's hard to find access to new Japanese machines to demo. Plus, time is an issue. I sure would like to ride the new R1 though!
Cal Moto Ok thanks for the answer.
Did he say 135 hp? Dayam!
Beautiful bike. Funny watching you haul ass lane splitting by the hillbilly truck on a demo bike.
The mirrors move with the wind at 40-50 mph? What is so cool about a fucking $15000 bike when you have to adjust the mirrors every few minutes? Additionally, why the engine shut off where you made the right turn? New bike ? Ooohhhmmm!
Issue essence dig technological monthly.
I love the triumphs, but the exhaust needs to be changed
