Love the looks, but all Triumphs look good. Love the clean and tidy engine which keeps its heritage appearance. But most of all, I love the hidden modern day tech it offers..., not too much, but enough for todays riders. A bike with an engine size and weight to cope with all conditions when being used as an everyday bike, wether it be for weekend trips or weekday commuting. Certainly a bike for me to consider when downsizing next Spring. Happy New Year Dei, and thanks for all the fantastic content from 2024. I wish you, and all yours, a healthy and successful 2025. Looking forward to what's coming here next year..., keep the rubber side down, Steve.
Another great vlog Diemante, nice looking bike, not sure about just one disc on the front. Have a happy new year and hopefully some more exciting adventures in 2025. 🤓 💖
I too suffered from renauds but since I quit smoking at 50 years old I am not bothered anymore I am now 76 Have a Bonneville Icon on order for 2025 looking forward to it Luv your videos keep it up From Canada
Great review. Your question to Stuart Woods re all the markets they have to sell into was great. It probably answers the question that others have asked 'why all the electronics and questionable colour schemes?' However Triumph have to be brave with each new iteration. People change their minds. I reckon it will sell like 'hot cakes' and it does look so very clean like a 1968 Bonneville. If I was looking for a new 'do everything' bike it would be at the top of my list but I'am very happy with my V7 850.... at the moment.
Really fun and great video, D. After watching your review, I bought this motorcycle! You always have fun video locations for us viewers, too! Can't wait to see what comes next, blessings 🙏 🙌 love ❤️
Sorry but I want dual discs in the front... its about design and aesthetics, not about stopping power alone. Seriously, how much extra would it cost for them to offer this at least as an optional extra?
Yep definitely got the old Triumph T140 Bonneville look about it, But really needs to have Two clocks to make it look right. But they need to drop the price a bit, Seeing as these are made in Thailand and with the New Honda Hornet SP for £10.000.
Like you diamante I'm not a fan of that colour scheme, but they do have other options. The only thing I really can't get on with is that new digital clock. Half LCD and a mini TFT is no improvement on a modern classic. I like the old one and why offset it?. It looks clumsy!. Otherwise a great review as always & what a great place to go ride it. 😊
I think TRIUMPH made a mistake, the meter is already less beautiful than the previous one. They wanted to modernize it, it's not a success, I prefer the 2023 2024 model. I don't think they're going to sell many, the 2023 2024 models are still on sale. In addition to making a black exhaust, OK we can change the version before it was more beautiful.
I see it the same way. I have a 2024 model year and I was a little worried that I would regret not waiting for the 2025 model year. And now I'm glad. For me, the big attraction was the classic look - this version partially lost that after the update and did not compensate for it with increased performance, for example.
Thank you for the great review of this bike. In my opinion, the new version looks more plasticky than before. Unfortunately, Triumph has stopped using analog indicators for this model. The new indicators are more suitable for the Trident or Tiger, but not for the Speed Twin. I’m okay with modern panels on bikes like the Tiger or Speed Triple, but not on a modern classic-style motorcycle. P.S. Nice sweatshirt!
I wonder if they all have Quadlock mounts because they are given them... I'm not a fan of any mount that makes me use a case. However if Quadlock sponsorship means these videos are possible then I'm happy to watch a quick ad.
That tank colour in my opinion is hideous, I can't for the life of me think who it will appeal to,maybe it's a throw back to a vintage scheme they had back in the day? Black is defiantly the better option, apart from that looks and sounds mint👌 is it worth chopping in my modded interceptor for.....🤔 not sure
For me a 'retro' bike in this vein must have laced wheels, ' right side up forks' and dual analogue clocks. I was surprised at the hp rating given it is a 900cc unit: it must be detuned to a degree; I was expecting hp to be in the 85 range.
Horse Power is basically top end speed...Here it may be around 110mph and you wouldn't really want to ride this bike faster than that...if speed is your thing get something built for that
@@JohnnyXoz My comment concerning hp was not in reference to potential top end speed but rather to the hp/cc ratio. 'Normal' bikes in the 70's and early 1980's would commonly have a ratio of 1hp/15cc or so while today's higher compression engined 'normal' bikes run in the 1hp/10cc range irrespective of overall size and top end gearing. The Speed Twin 1200 is 1hp/11.6cc displacement while the Speed Twin 900 is 1hp/15cc. Super bikes like the BMW S1000RR put out around 1hp/5cc.
@@lylemacdonald6672 I think it's a business policy - to create a bigger gap in the market between the Speed Twin 900 and 1200. I was quite disappointed that the power remained the same after the modernization, I also expected that they would raise it to at least 70 hp without any problems.
Triumph never seem to understand who there market is no one wants upside down forks rider modes or awfull cheap digital gauges on a retro bike all that just puts the price up for no reason and puts buyers off so people look elsewhere one day they will realise that.😐🤶
I definitely want usd forks, and I am happy to have the electronics as well. I would never have considered the previous versions of this bike. Now I am trying to figure out how to get my wife onboard with me buying one. I think it was smart to divide the 900 twin platform (more modern speed 900 vs more classic t100). And I'm certain triumph did it in response to research. And I would bet money that it will continue to be their best selling twin.
I like rider modes, particularly rain mode if I run into bad weather or with a new passenger. I prefer my Scram single clock with small LCD window to my T120 dual clock. Either one looks good on the classic bikes. The newer digital displays are not on the classics
Great presentation and interview. Love the "British" look and finish of these bikes. Appealing to a CDN living in AUS.🏍

A lovely bike & seems like a much deserved winter break in warmer climes.
The bike looks great sounds good. I hope a lot of people have hours of fun on it. That's what it's all about.

It is a great bike, but why that black silencer with a shiny endcap? That is not looking particularly pleasing.
Just add a sixth gear and I’m good with this over the 1200.

I like everything about it except for the offset clock. I dont mind digital but maybe dual clocks?
@@kyakaruvlogs2784 Im never a fan of anything offset.
@tomboyabit true even the word offset is upsetting 😁
You would hate to be a guy wearing pants, then 😂
One of the things that makes your reviews so special, is when you get to interview someone who was involved with the development of the bike 👍!
So glad to read this. I am genuinely interested myself in these interviews and what is in the bike ‘creators’ mind.
What's with those number plates!? That's a billboard not a plate.
Oddly the cars have regular plates and smaller than the bikes.
nice bike ... love it

Expensive bike for made in thailand
it's about quality and not place of origin. If they can do it in Thailand as well as in Europe, then why not. I've only had good experiences so far.
I like fork boots on the older conventional forks, its actually a deal breaker for me.. visual downgrade.
You like weaker, worse handling forks. Good for you.
@logangodofcandy did i hurt your feelings.. don't answer, I dont care.
@@logangodofcandy this aint a motogp bike. Old forks are more than good enough n look cooler

That's all bullshit, except rider modes. Most people just pick one and stay in it or they want an option to turn off traction control or abs.

They're racist against Russians, that's all.
