I have done a plus 1 on a couple of my bikes. Makes a big difference

What gloves are you wearing in this video?

There's a lot of shitty batteries floating around. BMW, and Harley have had a fair share of complaints about batteries.

I had a set of non-remote res Ohlins and they really sucked. The adjustments just did not made any difference. I heard that if you start from zero and count out clicks they can be damaged?? Anyhow, sold the bike, a Triumph Bonnie SE. Go with Nitrons. I did w my Speed Twin and I am happy. Just make sure they are not over sprung!

Doesn't this guy get tired? Salute to him

Going to have these fitted to 114 breakout in chrome ,wanted v&h slash slip ons but none in stock nice video

Hate your videos. They make me want that bike soooo much. Have a Tracer 9 GT right now which is perfect, but does not have a soul…..that is really the only thing wrong with it. Will probably get the Triumph anyway.

I don t understand…can I ask u if with a new ecu by dnk your bike have anyway 3 map rain/road/sport but modified for your exhaust?

Indie Ridge is Top-Tier & Their Customer Service Is Exemplary!

pretty

Here's the thing; if Triumph offered a Speed Twin R with all the goodies, SIGNIFICANTLY less people would buy the Thruxton R. I'm amazed that the Twin is as close to a Thruxton as it is with that smaller price tag.

I'm even more happy with my '21 XC now. Thanks for the video!

Much deeper sounds without decat

back in the day when you go oversea's and ask people directions they will give you directions in a North to south way to travel. But in the United States people give you directions in the Right to Left, up and down way of travel. Its super interesting. Scientist think this is so because overseas the direction is dictated toward the movement of the Sun. So people know where north and south is at all times. but in America people have no idea where north and south is located directly where they're standing.

Great video 👌🏻

Great channel and content, Van Blamm. I too have an XC and find it to be best of several worlds. It really feels like a premium bike, with cruise, lit buttons in the dark, fit and finish, and engine/ride quality. I’m quite smitten. I had the speed twin on my short list, but found the motorcycle just a little too small. This one fits perfectly. Is it fun at 85 on the freeway? No. But it’s amazing from 0-75, on my roads here in Northern California and in the garage.

Excellent vid ,just. Swaped my thruxton r for this and can't wait to blast around yorks....

Crazy Trip Van Blamm, So i ride the Triumph T120, compared to your bike i have approx 20 less HP but a much more comfortable stock seat 🙂My longest trips have only been half of yours but i really do everything to avoid highways hence not so easy to rack up the miles...on the other hand the miles are not my usual goal but the general ride is. Sometimes one needs to get from A to B and then one might need to go on the highway. You posted the temperature 3deg celcius as i also have open bike like yours and i also have the stock heated grips. My problem is after 40min in those temperature my finger are so cold, the heated grips do not help much for the finger hovering over the break and only warms up the inside of the hands and fingers. So i am curious how you managed this long trip in that temperature? BR Tore (Norway)

Haha soon to be a new rider and I’m stuck between the iron 1200 or the 114 low rider s haha granted yes the LRS is heavier, bigger and way more torque but I’ve never been a speed demon and I could potentially grow into this bike and not want another one and yes I’ll be buying an engine guard and rear frame slides and yea it’s more expensive but I think ima lean towards getting a LRS

I need you to give me the bike

Sweet video dude! A few years back I did the trip from the Pocono’s in Pa down to Asheville on the BLP. Took several days to get there. Did the return trip along your route 627 miles home in one shot on my Beemer K1200GT. Makes me want the Speed Twin!

…or RT 1200?

2:52: nice C2! 😂

You ever change the foot pegs for better ground clearance?

In malaysia we have our "dragon" and it’s called Genting Run. Now there's cops everywhere 😂

I just purchased a 2024 T120 and it's just as you describe it. Having traded in my Versys 650 LT, this bike feels like going from a sports car to a pick up. It is sluggish in the corners and I find the braking rather less than stellar especially all the great reviews on Brembos. But, it feels so stable and comfortable. Plenty of low end torque. The low centre of gravity makes the extra weight from the Versys feel like it's not really there. Much more controllable at stops and slow maneuvers. Like someone already said, I'm getting to like it more and more each ride.

Hi. I’ve got a new 2022 scrambler with only 2000 miles and it has an engine knock. As you already these engines are not known for this problem. It came out of the dealership immediately after a repair and an annual service. Wondering if you had any problems with your engine knocking or if you know anyone with a scrambler that has had a knocking on theirs? Maybe a friend of yours may know what could be causing this knocking. I gave video and a short you can listen to on my channel. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

I have the Motorsports gloves and they are very comfortable and great for hot weather (I’m in the Florida humidity and heat). Getting some boots next paycheck

I am waiting like this

Thank you for making this video

I rode 1000 miles from 6 am till 2am. on my 2011 road glide tour that has 122,000 miles on her now

Booster plug + throttle spacer. Is what I use on my 2019 speed twin if that doesn’t work, power commander and a tune would be perfect.

Nicely done. Really appreciate the behind the scenes creativity. I'm not a moto vlogger in the true sense but do put out video rides with my yap shut, and for good reason. I am pretty sure if I tried doing what you did here I would have a lot of f-bombs and other bleeping edits in post. My favorite shot from your morning b-roll: 15:48.😉 Like you, I've been motorcycling for just about 10 years and have only recently started moto camping -- precisely 2 times. But I've caught the bug and want to get out and camp more. Not quite yet to the point of wanting to moto camp on a two week adventure but that could be a possibility once I've gotten into a good routine for overnight camping. Looking forward to more from you. Subbed.

being an asian guy I really like what triumph did to this scrambler, i'd prefer this over the t120 any day because of our road condition, with the tubeless tire, more power & a go to anywhere aesthetic, this more approacheable scrambler is a nice addition for triumph 😊 in our country the X is 3k usd cheaper compared to the XC and just 1k usd more expensive than the t120...cant wait to get one of these soon!

that is not a long range cruiser. In USA.

Brilliant video thanks

Excellent trip movie man! I’m in Richmond, VA so seeing this trip out that way was pretty inspiring man. Looking to get a speed twin as well. I’m at the part where the drama starts and your bike didn’t start at the station. What fixed this in the end?

Which setup did you use for the audio?

I completely agree with you on the looks of this bike. I love it and I understand that it's subjective...but it's hard for me to comprehend someone thinking the front end of this bike is ugly but the other nakeds are good looking.

Enjoyed it all. Great job Van Blamm. I hope the "Van" thing isn't related to being a Jim Rome fan. I can't stand that dude. Nice work!

I'm more of a saddlebag fan than the topbox for aesthetics. I agree with that the oem shocks are adequate for lighter riders. Those are are great roads & scenery there.

Hey, is the extra material on top of the seat comfy for the passenger? thx

The previous gen speed twin (yours) has axial brakes . Bad compared to new gen ?

Top box looks goofy bro! I know because i have a top box on my Bonneville too. Looks funny but it is so damn convenient it makes up for itself.

another great video! always enjoy your content. Thanks for taking us along.

What is that intro music? Shits fire

Very useful! Thanks

Very useful! Thanks

I still ride the same YSS shocks as on the previous model, no reservoir and cheaper as the Ohlins, and like them. The are not as shine/gold as the Ohlins but do the work perfect 🙂

I own a 2019 Speed Twin, great bike and I've no problem with the stock suspension. Enjoyed the video, lovely scenery. Cheers😊
