What do you think of the look of the new Speed Twin? Personally I love it, one of the nicest looking modern classics available.

@Throttle Downunder I love retro styled motorcycles. The Speed Twin does not only have killer looks but looks a s if it is a true power roadster as well. Maybe not a quick or as good at handling as the Triumph Street Triple R but to me it is the one I would purchase (based mainly on its looks).

Enjoyed your review. My recommendation before spending money on pipes is to decat with a X-pipe (Meerkat is an Oz brand). Then see if it’s loud enough (unless you don’t like the original pipes of course). Trying to decide between this and Thruxton R. Cheers.
@ThrottleDownunder4 жыл бұрын
Both good choices. The body position of the Thruxton R I don't like, that's why i love this one. That's just personal preference

Nice review thanks. What sort of economy could one expect? It only has a 15 litre tank like my Thunderbird 900 and the bike's old tech carbs will only give me about 250km range which is a bit restrictive for touring... While I love the 270degree firing order sound of the new twins (like my TDM900) I really get a buzz from the sound of a triple on the throttle (hmm, maybe that's why I only get 17km/litre...).
@ThrottleDownunder5 жыл бұрын
Haha good sounds = good revs and bad fuel consumption in any bike or car 😃. Regarding the Speed Twin, I didn't have it for long enough to do a real world test so I can only go by the specs sheets on the website. But with the modern tech I'm sure you'll get some decent distance.

@@ThrottleDownunder This obsession with changing everything as soon as you own the bike is ridiculous. Like sheep following the herd, nobody content with what the manufacturer has made, have to be different...except when everyone does it you're all the same. Pathetic. Tail tidy, bar end mirrors [standard on this one for the pricks], and an aftermarket exhaust of course.

I also love the bobber but I feel it would have the same issues as the roadster.But I'm curious if the bobber power delivery Is more exciting than this one, maybe not, considering the freedom this one has in movement.

I could never move to Australia in that I would kill myself in that you guys drive on the wrong side of the road ! And where are the kangaroos ? And those deadly spiders that crawl into your shoes/boots ? And those crocodiles ! Oh my ~ :-O Otherwise nice video on the Triumph Speed Twin for sure. Interesting that you use words like bloody good and such. I mean is that not British speak ? And "Suburbs" ? I thought your entire country besides the actual few cities were basically the Out Back. Go figure. I own a 2016 Motto Guzzi V7II Stone and a 2015 Harely Super Low 1200T. Though I plan on getting a third motorcycle. Most likely the Triumph Speed Twin or maybe the Motto Guzzi V85TT. Before the Speed Twin came out this year I was looking at the Triumph Street Triple R. Anyways, I understand you guys no longer are allowed to own any firearms to protect yourselves against all of the dangerous creatures that live in your country as well as the Muslims that are pouring into your country. SO, ride safe and remember what the door mouse said. ;-)
