Anyone else get a little nervous when that lifted truck pulled onto the highway next to Yam when he was scrolling through the ride modes? 😳

[@bike-drop]

Very few noticed it. Thank you for mentioning it, I though I was the only one watching what happens around him

[@yammienoob]

I had my eye on him, don’t worry 😉 I always got escape paths mapped out and watching folks pulling in and out

I puckered up a little even knowing it was coming

[@chinmayau]

Yes i was also tensed for a sec there. Knowing yam, I kind of confident too.

[@AceofStorms]

I absolutely love my Speed Triple RR. It is probably one of the smoothest machines I have ever had the pleasure of riding. And taking it through the mountain roads where I live, it feels like the bike practically drives itself with how incredible the suspension feels and how snappy it is diving into tight curves.

[@kaitokurahama7090]

Well you know what they say, nothing is smoother than a Triumph

[@nationalbeauty6142]

How confortable is it?

[@AceofStorms]

@National Beauty honestly, I have ridden it all day and never get tired of it. Ive taken it through country raods and mountain passes, as well as through city streets on the east coast and I've never felt the fatigue normally associated with this type of bike. Even as a bigger rider (6ft and 230lbs) It definitely fits that "superbike aggressive" positioning but you can absolutely relax on it and take things easy. If you like the sport bike posture and have no real issue with some wrist pressure it's perfect.

[@suronbru9568]

How’s the reliability? I just bought the 2022 with 15k miles, hoping to not have issues. Phenomenal rice. favorite bike ever owned

[@twowheelsr6]

So should I sell my R6 2019 for one ? Cuz boy I’d be lying if I said I’m not thinking about it

[@mattb5602]

Had the pleasant surprise of receiving an RR earlier this week as a loaner bike from triumph when my street triple went in for service. What a machine!! Most incredible bike I have ever ridden and it will probably hold that crown for a lonnnnnng time!

[@blainepaulus2230]

I always liked how triumph made sport bikes for regular road going people. The thruxtons, speed triples, street triples, sprints were all nice friendly sporty bikes that you could enjoy all day at a spirited pace.

[@OrthoGothChristian]

For anyone wondering… You can just leave the ignition switch in the on position all the time. I own a Speed Triple RS, and have left the ignition switch in the on position since I bought it.

[@deltahavoc1224]

Is that healthy for the bike tho?

@@deltahavoc1224 it should cut off when the key fob is away... But you are right... It is always "listening" to see of it goes near...

[@thumperjdm]

My 2018 Tiger 1200 XRt has the same "ignition" switch. I've never turned that knob in 4 years of ownership. On/off/start is all through the switches on the right handlebar.

[@ptacosnipe]

Love tuning in to this channel for some Triumph simpery

[@carlosvejar3938]

Well said

[@stubbingtonmarigold3032]

Some ?

[@andyamezcua7976]

Im a Triumph fanboy myself, and own a white 2007 Speed Triple, so this review made me really happy hearing that this thing lives up to expectations! I can confirm that a white Speed Triple is one of the most beautiful things on wheels, constant attention grabber. Its such a nice place to sit, even for long rides. I'm 6'1" and the ergos are almost perfect, not as relaxed as an mt10, but its still great. Lastly, NOTHING beats the sound of a triple!

[@willspeakman2461]

I owned a 2008 Black speed triple with twin arrow straight pipes. Best bike I have ever owned and it used to get loads of attention. Brakes and handling were perfect and loads of power. I never liked any of the new speed triples until this latest generation. Currently have a 2004 gsxr1000 but would happily trade back to the speed triple.

[@dirkdiggler7727]

Been on an 06 since 2013. Hasn't been without the textbook issues and upkeep but I absolutely love this motorcycle and will NEVER sell it or just let it go to shit. The only other motorcycle out there that even interests me in this kind of category is a tuono v4.

[@akaynomore]

i had the 2001 Model Customizing it to a Caferacer, and its still a real good bike! Now the new 1200rr is the best bike on market! The 3cyl Engine 180hp, the windshield...everything is pure love

[@YamahaBlue]

The “what’s up everybody welcome!” outta nowhere, mid intro, threw me for a loop on an existential level. Thank you yam dog.

[@lanceb3547]

Best review so far - - my son and I watch your channel all the time, and I really appreciated an honest, well thought out review without some of the "colorful" commentary of other videos. Really a professional review! I love my Ninja 1000 for many of the same reasons, especially the "gentleman's sport bike" label you gave the triumph. I just wish my bike had that extra 32 hp......

[@spoonman73]

It could really use the power bump...

[@phil4986]

Triumph does'nt get alot of respect for doing motorcycles their way until other riders listen to Triumph owners and test ride their bikes.Then often it's another Triumph getting sold.I love the large round single headlight and clean fairing look on this bike.Great review and much respect for not doing a one hundred and seventy mile per hour street video.Especially since it would probably only take 12 seconds to get there on the interstate. You are a very experienced rider so past all the other jokes, in all the other videos, when a bike impresses you this much,it must be a great bike.

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

I owned an Aprila Tuono 1100 RR, with similar power to this, and it was an angry animal. Based on my test rides of the previous Speed Triples, I bet this one's a bit smoother and more forgiving. I also owned a ZX14R SE and it rode like a touring bike until you asked it for Ludacris speed, which it happily supplied. Now I own a Scrambler 1200 XC, and it's my favorite of the three. Just so much character, and so much torque, and such a nice riding position. On account of the torque curve, I don't miss the peak horsepower at all, which I could never use on the street anyway. I do love the look of these though.

[@Dan_B_Rides]

Well that is some nice praise for our best British bike. It’s great you love triumph’s. That bike is pure perfection and I love everything about it. I have loved all their bikes for years. I would a street triple rs eventually.👍🏻

[@thomastoulmin3092]

Just had a demo ride and I agree completely with your review. Amazing motorcycle. Good job Triumph!

[@grillsimon4548]

Thx man because of you i just bought my first 675 😂

[@Souleyman_99]

Thank you Yammie! Yes! we want a 660 version of this one! Of course this is a very good bike, but to much power for the street and his regulations, and also to expensive for my pocket to be honest. I realy hope you willl be heard and answered by Triump...

[@VA-gu1jq]

If they release a 600 version of this, I’ll gladly go into debt to get it, lol. But yeah, too expensive and too powerful for my 40 year old ass.

[@phant0]

Goddamnit Yammie. I just spent my savings into a Speed Twin and I though it would have all the power that I will ever need and now you have to show me this to make me feel like I should upgrade again.

[@NicePantsLance]

Tell me about it! Had my Speed Twin for a couple years now and I'm really tempted to upgrade!

[@trustingcynic]

I loved Triumph for years. I owned my dream bike (2012 Speed Triple in white). As soon as I saw that single headlight hood, all I could think was "Look how they massacred my boy"

Wow, beautiful! Really love T's approach to injecting romantic, emotional lines into this model. This is a breath of fresh air amid I'm the increasingly robotic, cold, transformer-ish styling trend that is plaguing motorcycles nowadays, which has also infected Ducati!

It’s hard to realize how crappy most content creators mic setups are…until you hear it done well. Nice audio 👍🏽

[@lonelybikr]

I find everything about Triumph to be very refined. From the power to the bikes finish. I did hear that the throttle only gives you 75% when you're trying for 100%, but some tuning should fix that.

[@bradfuller1667]

I absolutely love my RR !

[@MrBolioclyde]

how would you compare this to the new 2024/25 zx6r krt as a track back and which do you think is a better more reliable bike ?

[@julieb5434]

As a woman of a “certain age,” that is, not young, I feel like I’m not your demographic. But I, too, love all things Triumph so I think I’ll ramble on over to your merch site and buy something to enter the giveaway. The Speed Triple RR is too much bike for me, but I definitely enjoyed the review, as I get ready for a ride on my Bonneville T100 that I balance on my tippy toes…. I also don’t think I belong on your discord server, but who knows? Thanks for the review!

[@MayaConner16]

Gorgeous bike and great video, looks like an absolute blast to ride. Also I'm always amazed that there are no police in the Austin area.

[@davidherringgo]

I like the way Yammy lane filtered at the end ,I never do that in Austin , you're right no cops .

[@himadrisaha97]

[@kevinofishero]

The ignition on the side of the bike is for the U.S market only.. Not sure why but possibly some legislative requirement.

[@shanec8224]

If I was to be a little nit picky, I wish the designers gave the rear a bit of a “neo retro” treatment as well... perhaps a round tail light? Cleanly tucked into a cafe tail.

I got a 2022 Triumph Street Triple. I can’t wait to get past my break in period so I can see how it feels to really rev this thing. I’m really interested how my Street feels compared to the Speed.

[@erolyalim2911]

I noticed how quick and easy it turned. But what was really great was your comment that the bike was so comfortable you could ride all day. How was the quick shifter shifting up and down? Need to check it out at my local Triumph dealership.

[@MattNeighbour]

I did a video comparing this Triumph to a Ducati Panigale V2 and Supersport, the Triumph quickshifter is easily the smoothest. Felt similar to the BMW S1000RR.

[@shanec8224]

Still on my under 1000cc cafe bikes... but this is the bike I’ve considered if I ever step up... such a sick bike

[@CSLFiero]

sounds like a bike that foregoes the "spec sheet warrior" ethos and focused on 1) given the choice of bikes to ride, daily, how do we get you to choose a no-compromise super bike and 2) once we've gotten you to willingly make that choice, how can we convince you it's okay to go 1/10th harder than you would have on another super bike.

[@jfro5867]

Funny how you gush over the fairing style in particular, that’s very retro and harks back decades to the 80’s, 90’s if not before.

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

Does the Moto2 Daytona count as another Daytona? Sat on a Moto2 at a dealer while shopping for a Street Tripple, felt great, but too aggressive for a street bike for my tastes. I've done the half faired and upswept clip-ons treatment to my Street Triple, and I love it.

[@dalecolegrove6652]

Yeah, I'm confused as to why he talks about wanting another Daytona. My local dealer has a Moto2 also.

[@dakotaL4100]

@@dalecolegrove6652 they discontinued the Daytona 675 in 2017. And the Moto2 765 version was just a limited 2020 run. So haven’t gotten a real Daytona In 5 years which sucks but 600cc class is dying apparently

[@dhowting]

I wish they'd bring the Ninja ZX25-r over here. It's a 250cc inline 4 screamer that LOOKS like a 600!!!! Has that oh so sweet inline 4 sound, redlines at 15,500 rpm but is only 51 horsepower!!

[@diegoleiva7242]

Honda CB650R, Yamaha XJ6/XJ6F, Kawasaki ZX25R, Benelli TNT 600. There's a few of them but not too common. It's cheaper to produce reliable parallel twins at that price range, which is very competitive.

[@schlumpfen]

In ARIZONA, it's about $375.00 for the first year. It goes by the vehicle value, so it drops every year.
