2019 Triumph Speed Twin | Road Test Review | OVERDRIVE

Triumph has been expanding its current generation Bonneville family of retro-classic motorcycles every year - the Speed Twin is one of the newest members of this family and impressed us a lot when we rode it in Europe earlier this year. And, with the bike on sale in India, it's now time to tell what the bike is like to ride in our riding conditions!

Got to admire the confident ride in the wet, well done that man, great review!

[@abhayyverma]

Terry Cox Thanks a bunch Terry! Glad to hear :)

[@dineshshetty5492]

Dear Overdrive - Triumph Bikes are great - Please do comment about their service too - My story, I was sold a bike that was faulty before delivery. Its been almost a month that my bike is still not fixed due to unavailability of spares. The quality of service team is also pathetic. They couldnt diagnose the problem during PDI nor after one service visit. So while you sing praises and build their brand on social media, you owe some responsibility to also alert customers about the QOS

[@stevebigtwin4571]

A good concise review. I have bought one and I'm appreciating it more and more as I live with it. Very easy to manage and deceptively quick!

[@abhayyverma]

Steve Bigtwin Thanks bud! Glad to know you liking it too! :)

[@goesfastandfar]

I've seen many reviews of this beautiful Triumph, but this was the best by far. He covered pretty much everything-too bad it wasn't drier so he could hang it out more. Triumph has a winner here for sure.

[@johnboy10]

Did you have to turn traction control off to wheelie ? Thanks

[@niksingh22]

Very good bike...in it's class 👍 I really love triumph....bikes..

[@thehowlingterror]

Good review...which is a rare thing on YT.

[@adityasundar324]

@0:48 You mean the Speed twin looks like the Street Twin?

[@mukthang1561]

I can't help falling in love with this piece of art!

[@satishshirke859]

Bro, Kawasaki Z900RS Retro model bike is also good akin this Triumph speed twin, both bike's r superb & it was greatest bike review on yr channel 👌👌👌👍

[@anjandas21]

Is that Vance and Hines exhaust available at Indian dealerships?

[@c.g.c2067]

Very nice filming and review

[@robert.reimon]

If you were spending your own money, what will you pick between this speed twin or the bmw rninet?

[@abhayyverma]

Roberto Ramon I think the Triumph - the RNineT is certainly more desirable but relatively expensive to own, in India particularly!

[@ayanmondal5473]

how is the pillion comfort on this bike?

[@djnashemc]

can you get full fairings for it ?

[@vaishnavsahu8433]

I just test rode it today and oh my dear gracious i'm in love !

[@dirt2shinefloorcaretoronto350]

Nice bike... what's the place? it so beautiful name pls.

[@nikos-giorgos]

4,2sec to reach 100km? Maybe in the rain, yes...

[@abhayyverma]

νικος γιώργος Yup. Was a wet day when I tested, should do sub-4 seconds easily on a dry day!

[@jayakrishna5693]

2:26 it is actually high power engine

[@abhayyverma]

Jaya Krishna Well, the HT engraved on the engine stands for high torque though :)

[@nishantsurwe5617]

Where is speed triple😭

[@nikos-giorgos]

Front number plate? Really?

[@abhayyverma]

νικος γιώργος Well, it’s a Government regulation in India, so can’t avoid! :)

[@needhelp123]

I don't find any reason to buy enthusiastic motorcycles with the latest motor vehicle rules

[@expatbiker6598]

I have 4 words 4 you. *"say no to drugs"*

[@needhelp123]

[@MohitSapra97]

That number plate at front looks disgusting.

[@flamintasty]

What a cretin. It’s not there for looks 🙄

[@stevewilson9792]

I have loved Triumph since 1966. I am seriously disappointed by the modern Triumph's unreliability. IF they get past THAT, you will see a new one in my garage.

[@koh_ker]

Whoever designed that tachometer should be fired, looks like a fidget spinner.

[@sohailR007]

[@sukant08]

Imagine buying this and always getting confused for a royal Enfield interceptor 650

[@unclesam6764]

Imagine riding around those idiots who couldn't tell the difference

[@alexaguilera3822]

It could happen if you dont know anything about neo classic bikes!

[@sathishrao7926]

Sukant Chakraborty : Can happen for sure.. Street andSpeed Twins will easily be mistaken to be Interceptors by the ‘masses’ who aren’t quite aware of Triumphs..

[@sathishrao7926]

Brilimbo RODOV : I’m one of those who thinks that the looks of a bike (not just its performance) should justify its price tag. With silhouettes being similar to Interceptor, Street and Speed Twins can be mistaken to be RE Interceptor on a first glance even by a Triumph aware person. Honestly, this (Identity Crisis) is a key reason I didn’t go for a Street Twin ! I bought a Kawasaki Vulcan S (a Cruiser) which has a decent performance and has a distinct identity among the bikes around it ( so, it’s not hard for me to convince that my bike cost me Rs 7+ Lac !!)

[@ssmetalrulz]

You gotta be a real noob if you cannot differentiate between this and an RE Interceptor (especially with the GORGEOUS rear end). And again, I won’t be giving a fuck about the masses even if they do confuse it with an RE after I crack the throttle open and hear that beautiful HP 1200 sound..

[@ashishpatel350]

Gt650>triumph

[@anneakhil5331]

Reliability ???? My friend owned it and sold it as it cannot be stable after 110kmph its wobbling a lot and twisties is big nuts with that bike
