I had a 2021 version of this. It was slightly modded with a 4 into 4 exhaust. Probably the best bike I ever owned. Sadly though, it was written off by a bloke not paying attention whilst waiting at the lights in Belmont, he drove into the back of me, causing me to crash into the ute in front. Major damage to the lights, instruments, forks, engine casings and pipes. All fixable, but the cost of repairs exceeded the value of the bike. I was heartbroken. Anyway, looking at getting a replacement with the payout. I've thought about getting something else, but this bike is the pick of the bunch.

Hi Giles, I see you live quite close to me and believe it or not that bike is actually for sale at the moment, it’s currently done 5500 km and is absolutely immaculate. Let me know if you’re interested.

Sorry to ask but will this support if I drop the motorcycle. I am in search of a crash bar / sliders without any success. Thinking of this as the last option..

$1800.00 is a rort, considering that anyone can create a new code to open the panniers. All you need is a pin to poke in the side hole and dial a new number. Not secure at all.

Pathetic penny pinching by Triumph especially when you consider that the bikes don't come cheap in the first place. Safety as well because the daft peep-peep horns just don't carry into cars' interiors, Even the wife's Fiesta sounded better. - I fitted an Oxford Foghorn to my T100 because the original horn sounded so silly. Soundbomb looked a bit too big for the space available.

Efficiency all up to the relative humidity. The more dry the air the more evaporation will happen and thus better cooling effect....if you live in the tropics in the rainy season those vest do not work at all as the humidity will be close to 100% . Guess western australia fairly dry judging from the arid climate shown in the video...

@@handlebarsandholidays Goofy me. I realized that the bike generally puts out 12v. The XT uses a transformer to lower the output to about 5v. That means that the XT2 (12v) is not compatible with the XT wiring interface.

Nice review, thanks. Love to hear from Australia. The bike looks amazing in black. These bikes are being discounted regularly over here in NZ. I have a GSX 8S, but am tempted to trade up to the bigger bike. There is nothing wrong with the torquey 776 and it is all you really need on our rubbish roads. But need was never the determinant. Do you have any comments?
@handlebarsandholidays4 ай бұрын
Hi Paul, yes, the 1000cc was a really nice bike. I think I mentioned in the review, (which was a while ago now), that it was a chunk more comfortable than the MTO9SP I had at the time. As for trading up, I don’t think you would be disappointed for a second and yes we don’t really need that extra power, but once you get used to it, it’s a lovely thing to have. Things have very much moved on for me now, as I spend most of my time on a 1250GSA and I think it’s fair to say my time on that type of ‘sporty’ bike are probably in the past. Thanks for watching and hopefully’ subscribing 👍👍👍

My next bike, which I hope will be this summer, will be either a T120 or a Speed Twin 1200. It really depends on my mood which I prefer on any given day and I’m sure I’ll love either, but also always wish I had the other. I have a 2022 Street Twin/Speed Twin 900 now and it’s excellent, but I do a fair amount of freeway riding and that’s where I wish I had a sixth gear and more power.
