2021 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS Review // Hyper naked or over hyped? 🤪

[@Letsgetit1600]

Hey Kate , how would you compared the BMW S1000R to the 1200rs?

[@justmejohn773]

Excellent video Crocodile 🐊. Chock full of information and your subtle sense of humour and double entendres. Brilliant. Ride safe.

I have a street triple. I've ordered my speed triple 1200 rs and can't wait. You have the voice of an angel! Man I wish we talked like you. Haha

[@panigalepilot28]

Thanks, Kate, for the review. Seriously considering this bike as a move up from my Ducati V2. Loved it ever since seeing it on MI-2 when Tom Cruise did the crazy stunts in Sydney Australia where I live. Was surprised to hear you say this bike was a handful, since I know you have ridden extreme superbikes such as the R1 and S1000RR.

[@UsernameKate]

Yea this bike is a wild animal, I LOVED it 😆

[@stanleyblazeraznik6047]

All I am is jealous. Those Street Trips are gorgeous and that RS is a beast. That orange color in 2023 is bad ass. Too much bike for me and the mean streets of Detroit but for those with wide open spaces…..Giddy Up!

[@chefsecretservice-healthy-8158]

Hi Kate, I bought the black model here in Canada. It arrived late July. I love it!! Planning on driving it down to California next summer. Great review. The sound of the TS is amazing!!

[@UsernameKate]

Yay!! Glad you love it! That sounds like an amazing trip!

[@bobbuilder7946]

Neat review Kate! I want one.. cant really afford one yet. But sooo excited to be picking up my first bike for years in a few days, (the last few days are the hardest) my first Trumpy, one of the little Tridents. Can only get the restricted model here in New Zealand but it will still be awesome on our twisty coastal roads made for bikers..

Well done. I have a 2019 Speed Triple S that I always keep in sport mode. It’s the previous 1050cc motor. I thinks it’s a great bike. It’s like the Tasmania devil that forgot to take its meds.

[@leighwhetter6073]

G'day from an ex-pat Cornishman in Australia. We are navigating coming out of COVID lockdowns. Can't 'legally' ride more than 5kms from home, or with mates! It sucks big time. I own a few bikes including a 2011 675R-Ohlins suspension was as hard as f@#k and we have potholes here that would swallow a bloody semi-trailer (or lorry-as I used to say)! Once dialed in all good. This was a great review. So enjoy your banter and attitude in all your work. Guess what I am saying is you have, once again, taken the edge off a shitty day! For that 'I love you'! Platonic of course but I really appreciate what you do, Kate. Always look forward to the notifications that you have uploaded a new Vlog. Best to you and yours, Leigh

[@karlbratby4349]

We are blessed to have the peaks to ride around on our doorstep… agree with all the negatives and positives, after 2 trials still unsure I could live with the stiff suspension and other issues, I’ve adjusted it to comfort settings and still harsh. And do we really need a naked bike with 180bhp … I found my old 1050 smoother and a nicer ride in most respects. Love ❤️ your patience on the road, just enjoying the ride no matter the cars in front.

Hey Karl! Yea, sometimes I'm just happy to chill out and enjoy the ride! 😁

I have noticed your reviews aren’t just reviews. It is an adventure with Kate.

[@danieloconnell4225]

Bought one as an all-rounder - I commute to work in all-weather, all year (unless there's snow or ice which is very rare here), and for enjoying on back roads and about a half-dozen very amateur track days per year. A hardcore 'full-tuck' bike like an S1000RR or whatnot would have been too compromising for getting to work and the occasional road trip, and a more sedate bike would have underwhelmed at the track or when I go out with my riding crew. I really think super-nakeds from most any manufacturer are the most well-rounded machines that can truly do everything.

[@informedcarpet]

So would you recommend this as a daily commute? I literally ride to work every day. I don’t do track work. Cheers

[@danieloconnell4225]

@@informedcarpet As just a commuter? Complete overkill - no. I ride with a fairly skilled crew on good roads and do a half-dozen track days per year - for those two reasons, I wanted a ride with the brakes, suspension, and engine to make it both fun and a good challenge. If you're just looking to get to work, buy the Street Triple instead.

[@informedcarpet]

@@danieloconnell4225 Sorry mate, I should have explained, I don’t have a car , I ride in all weather conditions. Is it a “ do all” or do I have better options. Cheers

Another great review, Its a contender for my next Bike. I was considering the Gen 3 S1000R M-Sport but having never owned a Triumph and this latest 1200RS is now packing some decent BHP I am tempted. P.S the Roads you rode on via the Strines are just 5 Mins from my House, Cracking riding Roads.

[@yorkshireR9T]

Great burger at the yonderman. After having a tuono factory I find 180bhp too much for the road. The bike rides you and takes alot of the enjoyment out of it. The race suspension doesn't like our rough pot holed roads either.

[@axelotl86]

The suspension can be plushy when you set it up correctly. The factory settings are just to harsh for the road.

[@RustyVanDoor]

I had a new one as a loan bike a week ago, it goes yep, it stops yep, it sounded great yep, comfy yep. The quick shifter only worked between 1st and 2nd on the one I had, the engine mode selector is too close to the indicator switch. The anti stall is a complete pain when filtering, almost dangerous. Turning circle is large and compared to a KTM 790 it handles heavy, the KTM felt like a 250 on the way home. Suspension is firm but should be able to be sorted given the adjustment available. Would I buy one? Probably not.

@@UsernameKate thanks, I rode a new 1050 in 2007, with Arrow cans, it was fabulous and fancy a 2012 rs or a 2016 94R model. They would be excellent road bikes and still had nice glossy Paint schemes. If I had a later model I would want a respray job as I'm not keen on the dull, Matt finishes. It would be great if you could get a loan and do a review.

Great review Kate. A bike like this fits you like a glove. I went for a Triumph Bonneville Bobber as my very first bike (start of summer this year). With custom suspension (easier on the butt and back) and bespoke upholstery of the standard seat (more comfy, and more friction between the leather and my jeans). 12:05 BTW, glad that I'm not a bicycle rider (push bike rider). It only takes a random DUI or careless car driver ....

Thank you, your comments on this machines ride will be very useful. My thought is of comfort, how far do you think you could ride this in one stint. Ive been riding a Honda VF750C1 Magna, yes a cruser, but with a lot of get up and go. I'm not a lover of twin cylinder engines, ive always enjoyed the upper reving engines. I enjoy riding, I don't tour, but our roads in this part of Kent are awful. So looking for enjoyment of riding, and the odd 300ml trip, up country, would you consider this machine.??

Besides, I was struggling, while he seemed to go for a walk ... he was certainly better than me, but I see that that bike gives them a big hand.

Wave to the biker! Since I started riding motorcycles on the road 46 years ago to acknowledge another biker from a commuter on his Cub50 to the tourer on his Wing was the done thing showing camaraderie for anything 2 wheels. If a bike was stopped at the side of the road it was the done thing to stop to see if he/she was ok. This is more and more disappearing. I have heard some say it's Harley riders, BM especially GS riders, Ducati riders, Power Rangers also get a mention. My personal experience is it's all of these. I don't know if it's youth, snobbery, arrogance, or whatever. From those who do show camaraderie, I have noticed it isn't only a nod, the rise of a few fingers, or a mad wave but throwing a leg out Rossi style is increasing. I guess it's a gesture and appreciated but makes me smile. It isn't only on the road camaraderie is disappearing but here on youtube where a channel has chosen a few others to criticise to the point of being aggressive with the aim of being destructive. What is happening? All that said this is a great preview by yourself of what is a great bike and the roads being very similar to where I live, informative and entertaining chat as always. Thanks.

Hi Kate, tried this alongside the 765RS and the Tuono 660. I didn't love the speed due to the suspension and the rougher gear box. It also felt a tiny bit less nimble and you feel more like you're on it then in it. I'm looking forward to the RR semi-fared version coming out in January 2022. I will definitely test it but the price tag is huge.

Thanks for this test Kate I love this bike I will probably buy it next year :D one thing 9:36 stop the video. that's why I sincerely hate UK roads. A normal car has to almost drive into the bushes because road is too narrow...
