It sounds great
It does sound lovely
Nice vídeo. I’m enjoying a lot my new Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE! I’m on the road riding but the taller position of the bike is making my days brighter than ever. The bike performs flawlessly on every terrain and any type or shape of road it rocks. These Bonneville bikes are simply awesome!
Rock on !🤘
A fantastic video so real spot on 👌💯👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great bike review done in some very nice scenery. Top job 👍.
Glad you enjoyed it
I have a 2023 and like yours it does put off some heat. Not unbearable but noticeable. I do have brake squeal from the rear brake. Hopefully it subsides but if not I will just deal with it until time to replace pads and try a different compound. Nice video. Enjoy the bike.
I’m seriously thinking about getting one of these. Nice informative video, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, watched tons of these Speed Twin vids and enjoyed this the most, well done Sir !
Demo booked for tomorrow - can’t wait !
Awesome, thank you! How was the test ride.
that v&h sounds incredible on that bike. speed twin is great, there’s a reason it’s a top seller.
You made a wise decision not getting the R nine t. I was out on one again yesterday whilst the GS was being serviced and although it's a great bike you need something different and the Triumph 1200 engine is just a joy. I went for the Thruxton RS but still hanker after a Speed twin which fits me better. Happy riding👍
Thanks 👍
Touring in Europe looks like so much fun!
Hi from another Jersey habitant here! I've just purchased a 2022 street twin 900 with I intend to custom a fair bit.
your bike sounds absolutely amazing !! good video mate
Thanks fellow islander 😁. Was out on it yesterday …. Yup through the Valley it was sounding lovely . Stay tuned as I will be fitting a Chigee AIO -5 Lite unit to it , hopefully not ruining its classic looks 😂 they are sending me one to review. At some point I intend to put some Nitron rear shocks on too but still trying to get the courage up to ask the boss(wife) if I can spend that kind of money on the bike ! 😂
@@gsd32i Good stuff mate. I’m looking forward to seeing the this!
I’ll be following your channel 👌🏼
New subscriber here :) Really enjoy your video, I own a Kawasaki Z900RS Cafe. And though I love my bike, I am seriously considering buying a Triumph Speed Twin ;).
Thanks, I haven't ridden the Z900, the Missenden Flyer has both bikes though, he has far too much money 😂
That original 2019 Speed Twin is the best. That silver tank color. Classic front shocks. E4 exhaust. Easy-to-do tail tidy. And lightweight. The ONLY miss in the design is it should have come standard with those all-brushed exhaust cans. Good stuff, mate.
Thanks . Tail tidy is on the way 👍
I own the bike and agree, but it also needs Arton Works dials, and in the US at least, the indicators swapped for something like Motogadget’s blaze discs and/or tens, plus fresh grips, and under bar mirrors. I absolutely love mine…
Im trans
I have a 22 speed twin and i'm jealous of those vance & hines. Can't even put on slip ons.
Cracking video i have 19 in korisi red absolutely love it sound and toque are addictive just lovely to ride good quality bike 👍ps it does chuck out a lot of heat maybe because the rad is so small
Yes even on cold days too! Great bike, love it😁
i got it from december of 2022. and it is only pleasure to ride it. i have the brakes problem. my dealer taked a look and cleaned the rotors, but it's still present. i'm happy to see that you solve the problem with EBC pads. i will certainly change them for the next service. i changed my tyres at 6500 kms (about 4000 miles). i met a metzeler dealer at a moto festival, and he tells me to put M9 instead of genuine tyres (racetec RR K3), i will see later if it is a good choice.
i don't get Vance & Hines muflers, but i like the sound i got. (we will have noise radars soon 😡).
my cons: i feel the bike a little heavy and not easy to manoeuver at stop. the handle bar doesn't turn enough, but it's only my feelings.
So i'm very happy with "Mandarine" (that's her name because she's .....orange) you can see her adventures on my channel.
thank you for your video and you're welcome in Burgundy if you come back to France.
Hi. Happy to say still no pulsing problems since fitted the new pads 👍
Hello from Australia...Your review is spot on, I've got a 23' ST1200.
In terms of the seat, have a look at Crafton Atelier, I can do all day on the bike and my bum is just fine.
If you want to take 10-15% of that heat away, forget the x-pipe and look at verex headers ( from Tasmania) then you don't take the hot gasses under the bike take them straight to the rear of the bike.
Oh... I've put YSS piggyback shocks on the rear and nitron cartridges on the front and it's night and day.... totally worth the upgrade.
Love the channel too btw
I found the Crafton Atelier to be different but still as uncomfortable - if not more so!
Did you buy the tuck and roll @@ponderguy7724 or one of those greaser things??
Thanks, I was trying to talk myself out of spending more money ref the suspension....🙈
Yes I can second the crafton atelier seat, game changer for me.
Liked that pal, im not sure the KTM would have got you in trouble after that twisties section 😂. Gained a sub. Ride safe
Thanks 👍
if your looking for a pannier option on the cheap, I had some TEC pannier bars for my street twin which do fit the speed twin no problem although TEC don't list them for it for some reason.
Those pipes sound amazing. Just bought the 2024 Stealth Edition. Would love a set of the Vance & Hines… no longer an options as an extra… 🙁🙁
Think it might take more than a bike to make me look cool… 🤣🤣
I am trying my best to look cool too!
Hi, if you haven’t already fitting a X pipe might help with the heat issue, I have fit one and haven’t issues with heat. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks for the tip!
Winx wheels do some motorcycle riding underwear, I had to buy some after I got my speedtwin, great video 👍
Here in Spain the temp has come down a little 30 c today we have some excellent roads here in mountains all to myself 😂😂 love the sound of your new ride . I think i need to try this bike 👍👍 love my gs tho 😂
The exhaust noise reminds me of the car chase in the film Bullitt, Steve McQueen driving the Ford Mustang. Have the baffles been removed?
It sounds great on the overtakes. Is that the standard exhaust on it?
I think the only music we needed was that exhaust note.
I'm seriously thinking of buying one.
No but it was one of the Triumph accessories , Vance and Hines…. Not sure if they offer it for the current models
Vance and Hines slip on’s or full system ?
Maybe fit steering dampers for the twitchiness
Hi. I hope to put some new rear shocks on soon. Just got to make sure the wife doesn't find the invoice. Should give the bike the handing it deserves. 👍
Has anyone experienced any engine knocking / tapping on their bonneville engines after the first oil change ?
My 1200 scrambler engine started knocking after a dealer service and it now knocks for a minute or two after start up.
Not as much when the engine is hot, but still hear it.
Strange , no .
@@gsd32i : Hmmmm
Everyone I ask says yes on these Bonneville engines.
Even the general manager at my dealership has a T120 and his does make noise.
Why is this such a mystery?
I know what you mean about ktm fast bikes. I sold my 1290 superduke R
Nice ride, where do I get the new clock trims u promised ?
Thanks. Are you referring to these?
www.artonworks.com/en/prodotto/triumph-vintage-gauge-thruxton-speed-twin-t100-t120-street-cup/
Yes these! Are the clocks difficult to fit ?
@@pontypete7357 No not really just take your time, cup of tea and some biscuits👍
Did you test ride the new twin before buying this previous model ?
No I didn’t . Basically a straight swap for my other bike and didn’t want to spend any more cash ! 😁
You mentioned your other bike was going to cause a "spot of bother".... what did you mean by that?
KTM890R, was going to get me into trouble, crazy bike.🙈
I think it was due to the fact that the 890R’s engine delivers its highest power and torque figures higher up in the rev range. So, it wants to be ridden hard.
That was my interpretation anyway. Agree, it was unclear in the video.
Is that the standard pipes on the bike?
No , but they were a Triumph option put on by the previous owner . Sounds lovely 👍
Did you know thet Metzeler and Pirelli are the same brand? 😉
Yes, but I believe they still do their own thing....👍
Pirelli owns Metzeler. But like the man said, Metzeler do their own thing.
You’re gonna be hot in that jacket !!😂
Hi, this bike's good a tall riders?
His, not sure I am 5'9" and is come for me.
@@gsd32i i am 6'1''
@@rafaelcorreia86 find a dealer and try one …. 👍
It's a bit tall for me (most bikes are) at 5'6" , but got adjustable rear gas rear shocks from TEC. Not best quality, but lowered enough. Front springs too.
Not bad for 1000mile tour of France/Germany. A good all rounded really.
