It was in love at first sight. I had the 2011 Speed Triple but was pissed to find out that the 2012's would have the R offered. I love my 2011 but when I learned the 1200 would be offered in the RR version I wasn't going to miss out. I don't care how comfortable or not. I bought it. Crystal White just like your test ride. Have added more carbon fiber. Heel guards, scrolling led indicators, rear hugger, Evotech tail tidy, Evotech radiator guard, Powerbronze tinted screen and just last week SC slip on titanium exhaust. Absolutely love this bike and the looks are stunning. It sits beside my Thruxton RS Ton Up in the garage. Behind them is my Daytona 765 Moto2 and 2012 Tiger Explorer. Fan boy yes indeed! Thanks for finally releasing this much anticipated Speed Triple 1200RR review! Cheers!

This bike is something special and special things are pricey, like MV Agusta, you know you ride a motorcycle art. It's not everything in HP, there is so much in styling and appearance. Though, this white color takes away some of it's lines and makes it plain. Silver would be much better. I am glad Triumph produces sth like this, and feel really sorry for discontinuation of 675 Daytona. For those who complain about neck pain etc, men became such a girls nowdays, buy scooter then. I tour with R6, everything falls apart after the ride, but I love that pain, it is part of being a biker, sport bikes aren't designed for comfort.

Why don’t Triumph produce a really good mid range bike instead(or at least up grade wot they already got?) I think they need to rethink there strategy for the future! Interesting review tho!

As much as I’m a fan of a half faired bikes and some of triumph’s motorcycles I cannot stand few things. The headlight mount and size looks really odd and clashes with the awkwardly shaped fairing, nothing like a classic looking same area of thruxton R. The bikes also looks quite bmw way bland. The other thing is the price and questionable comfort… By the time I will be able to afford it petrol bikes will be on the way out sadly so happy for those who can enjoy it.

I call some of these designs as Corporate Designer's Selfishness to please themselves. Like the BMW R9T Racer, who is this bike for? When I set on the Racer years back, I knew that no one in his right mind would buy that thing. If they did, it would sit in the Garage or would be traded for a more usable daily bike within days. This is a Sunday Morning Starbucks run bike. Just like the Racer, Designers sold the idea to the Boardroom and it became a production bike. Only the time and sales figures will show the truth. I'd take any other Triumph over this one regardless of the price point. As a side note, as of late Triumph fits and finishes became very high quality. The paint job is as good if not better than the HD.

Not a Triumph fan at all but this piqued my interest. I adore the concept and look of MV's Super Veloce and this comes close in my eyes. The RR would seem to be just as 'premium' as the MV and, in terms of performance per pound, better value. I think the base MV is around the same price. I know the numbers for the Triumph are impressive and the Super Veloce gives away around 40hp but the latter has more than enough go for me. I love that paint job - a vast improvement on Triumph's usual fare = every derivative of grey you can imagine. Yuck 🤢. But, all said and done, don't think I could own either bike. Could only afford/justify one premium machine, so it needs to cover more bases eg. solo touring as well. And I don't think my neck could cope with the position too well. Shame. Still nice to ogle though 😊

Had they ket the same flat bars and peg position as the RS I think it would have been a winner, but as it stands it's neither an out and out sports bike or a proper super naked. Perhaps the perfect bike for guys wanting to step away from sports bikes, but it would be nice to see the next step in the retro roadster segment. I thought this could have been the bike to replace the mighty Thruxton R/RS.

But at 6' 5" and knackered, it's a bike to admire, but not ride. The market is likely small, hence the high price for a low volume run. But had they gone for a Speed Triple sports tourer, to rival the z1000sx, they might have a model that is lovely to look at and sells well. Great video!

Test rode the 1200RS recently, very fast, love the styling. The suspension had been tuned so it wasn’t super stiff. Didn’t like the fact the dash kept flashing a low oil pressure fault (dodgy batch of sensors apparently). Also the rear brake squealed awfully when pulling up. Not a massive issue but the engine also vibrated a lot when pulling away. I normally ride an MT10 which isn’t as pretty and doesn’t have the spec but considering it’s deficit in capacity and cost (not to mention 100 % reliability) is so close to the RS I just can’t bear to part with it even though I’ve had two Hinkley’s and I loved both.

As far as I understand it, the tail monstrosities on bikes is a result of EU regs that say that the rearmost part of a bike may not be its' tyre. There must be something beyond it, even if that thing is just the numberplate, yes they're horrid in some cases but I think sometimes that folks don't realise that's why it's there.....
