A Day On Track With The New Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS!!

[@KnoxArmour]

Lovely video Chops! What a day, legendary track, incredible weather, brilliant riding and great company! Does it get any better?! Thanks for joining us! Aaron Knox

[@LambChopRides]

Bloody great fun Aaron wasn't it!! Can't wait to get back there now 😁😁

[@oswaldvanbeerendonk6882]

Looks like that track training you've been doing lately is paying off! That looked like a fun day out. Cheers Chops, keep up the great content.

[@davidherringgo]

It's really nice camera work Chopsy , and Knox crew looks like quite a gang . thanks for the wonderful track footage .

[@777geeman]

Thanks looks like you had a good time. Still leaning to the R M package despite costing NZ 5k more. Triple vs inline 4 noted for more friendly road use. Some say the XR is even better so I guess I'll try that too.

[@stephendecatur189]

I think I've watched this four times now; nice video, nice bike, good riding! Thanks

[@NomadRidesHD]

It is really nice of you to lets those guys/gal overtake you so much, it gives them the chance to feel how it is to pass a legend on track.

[@LambChopRides]

Haha 😂

[@glenwhyte2555]

Really enjoyed watching this and what a nice bunch to team up with for the day, they all seemed so nice. 👍

[@stevenkerry3101]

great video chopsy laps getting better track is great and that triple sounds sweet a can would sound even better love triumph triples

[@dinf1110]

OMG !! I was catching myself turning my head into every turn like I was there ! Pointing my chin and leaning ! that was amazing. I can't thank you enough

[@LambChopRides]

No problem thank you 👍

[@paul.vanhout57]

Spectacular track and impressive riding and video! The Speed Triple RS looks like a player. Thanks for sharing.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Paul 👍

[@Jafmanz]

Not often I watch a vid this long. Excellent fella especially seeing as you were breaking various cherries and things. thank you!

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Jafman! 👍

[@deepjoyrides]

Another one of my fav circuits. Triple sounds so good. Superbike school is paying dividends already. Great riding chopsy for you first time there 👏

[@windyrun7979]

Fantastic video chopsie!! Really enjoyed it. Great footage and looks like a fun group to ride with.

[@tonypammen3033]

Nice and smooth chopsy, fast and safe and cracking weather too😃

[@bobcarter5548]

What great fun. Uber brave going into fast group with no track knowledge. Handled like a true pro. Great entertainment as always. Super stoked to try a Triumph now. Aaron is top guy and Lara is fast. Will check out both channels. Keep up the great work.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Bob appreciated buddy 👍

[@chrissmith7069]

Great stuff Mr chops!! Looks like you were having a blast and the wether was just fantastic!! 😁😁

[@tomdwyer5695]

Just bought one, picking it up on Monday can’t wait for a track day awesome video 😎🙏

[@ColeslawJunkie]

6:22 "Like the carousel at the Nuremberg" 😂 great vid as usual Chopsy!

[@timrodierides]

More famous for its rally circuit

[@SquirrelMonsieur]

@@timrodierides even more so for its "trials" I'd say...

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

Nice job Chops, you were 10mph faster through all the corners in the end. Thats proper progress

[@MatNewtonTrio]

Different story on the Gixxer chops. Your still bloody quick on that!! Oulton is one of my favourite circuits, some lovely corners. Awesome video

[@motorbiketoureruk]

Good going John, smooth as silk, the old speed RS was brilliant on track this new one looks fantastic

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Buddy, yes it was rather fantastic!!

[@jamest5149]

Oultan park was my local and favorite tract, the elevation changes are fun. Nice job.

[@JQiRamos]

@16:45 when the guy in front turns his head to look at the crest wheelie and gives you a thumbs up. Priceless moment

[@Motorcycle_Mike]

Buddy, you’re a rockstar! Loved this track ride along. That last session was Wheelie good! 🔝🎬🎥🆒 Fantastic edit, Chops!

[@RikkyTang]

Great track footage! I nearly ended up in the fast group on my 2nd ever track day... I'm glad I pushed to go back down to Intermediate or it would have been like a lamb to the slaughter!!

[@SkuStyle]

Not sure which has improved the most Chops, your riding or video editing skills! Great watch, thanks.

[@THE-APEX]

Pit crash at 8:00. What a lovely track! Thanks for taking us along.

[@thornscoop2]

Speedy 1200 is very impressive only losing out on top end.. Nice riding Chopsy!

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Rob! Impressive wasn't it 👍

[@alistairwebb1545]

I was down at Oulton Park on my ZX6R J2 around that time, on the 4th so I'm not sure if you were there on the same day. But you're right - Oulton Park is such an interesting and fun track to ride around!

[@seanshields1436]

What a guy. On a track never ridden before on a bike that isn’t yours on road tyres and in 30+ degrees. Epic. 👍

[@markellison4875]

Nice one Chops, looks like you were up to speed by sesh 3 even thou you gave the track to much respect. Some fast people round there.

[@garytilley3217]

30 degrees a heat wave? You'd be flat out getting a suntan. Sounds like a lovely spring day.

[@iandoxford6572]

Well chops no wonder your in the advanced group I’m well impressed with your effort on a naked bike against faired one’s superb thanks for sharing

[@redactedrider7606]

30C (86F) would be some jacket weather here in Galveston lol it's 40C currently. That's some good riding weather right there

[@craigmason6656]

Looks like you had a cracking day out thrashing the Speed mate. Great video as always Chopsie. Cheers from Melbourne 😎

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Craig, did indeed sir 🙏

[@chalkdemon8019]

The Speed Triple RS looked like a flat out blast on the track, that looked so fun!

[@alanshearing7515]

Great video, enjoyed that a lot . Summer in New Zealand gets pretty warm too! . keep up the great reviews 👍.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Alan 👍

[@crp7965]

Thanks for the effort you put in ,really nice channel mr chops,keep up the good work and as always ride safe my friend

[@yashinnil5047]

So So good Chopsy! Thank you! cant wait for a post track day end of loan period review of the speedy 1200 rs. I am picking mine this Saturday. I honestly feel that the 1160 engine can do 200hp but triumph is holding it back via rev limit(needs 12k) and fueling quite a bit. There's definitely something there we might see from them in the coming years.

[@markholroyde9412]

LOL, there is no aero on it, it aint ever going 200mph.

[@yashinnil5047]

@@markholroyde9412 doesnt need to hit 200mph. its geared for a top of 280kph ish in 6th gear (6th is still geared at 1.19 so has room to be geared taller ) just that this engined fully unleashed should be a thing of beauty. I suspect its running a tad to lean aswell and that's with the super restrictive exhaust. Cruising on the high way I'm getting 22km per liter or 4.6 liters per 100km on a super naked. so we got some room for more fuel to be fed in for sure . all the dyno charts show the power going straight up into 11k rpm before getting soft limited so yeah this new engine.. curious minds wanna know what it can really do

[@markholroyde9412]

@@yashinnil5047 Like I said, THAT bike will never hit 200mph, its impossible it has not got enough aero, My 03 Hayabusa will only just do that with massive aero...you will know how good it is as soon as multiple runs runs are done down a drag strip, not a 40mph jaunt down the street, "Theories" are just that till someone actually does it.

[@axeman6560]

@@markholroyde9412 he did say 200 HP not mph.

[@markholroyde9412]

@@axeman6560 Ah, ok, my fk up, its easy to fudge dyno numbers so that will no doubt happen. My naked Bandit with a turbo made 260hp, best ever was 199mph, folk have no clue just how much more power it takes to get from 170 to 200mph...mind you most folk have never been 200mph....inc me LOL, 199 was its max.

[@supergixxers]

Blimey mr chops you're getting quicker now 👍

[@t2rew]

Enjoyable vid. Coincidentally I just road tested the speed triple rs. Animal of a bike.

[@zxgeorger]

The Speed really looks at home on the track! Ordered the Racefit pipe for mine this week she's going to howl 🚀🚀🚀

[@LambChopRides]

Yes it was fantastic! Really had fun and less fatiguing than a sportsbike certainly

[@scaff3450]

Great video Chopsy Look like great fun and Triumph did really well

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Scaff 👍 yes by the end of the day I had the Triumph absolutely flying 😎😎 loved it

[@scaff3450]

@@LambChopRides you did a great job chops especially since it was first time there good man 🏍👍

[@bunnydaduk]

Good work, you could seen your lap times getting better as your confidence grew. On the earlier sessions you were hitting the chicane at 42mph but the later sessions it was closer to 50mph. Thanks for sharing

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Dad, yes it was really coming together by the end of the day 😎😎👍

[@laz1go286]

Great stuff Chops! Quiet remarkable how the Insta 360 can withstand the 120 MPh wind on the tail. Funny at 8.00 min two riders kinda get together at the Pit lane exit and they both lay down their machines..

[@TRexHeliPilot]

Yeah, thought I was the only one that saw that! Have to keep your wits about you on track!

[@henrymarkey6940]

triumph looks and sounds spot on

[@Laramoto]

Fantastic to meet you at Oulton Chopsie! I love the fact that (we all thought) it would be a steady first session 😅. Great to ride with you on track, really well done in the advanced group! 🙏🤩

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks very much Lara, such an amazing day! One of my highlights of the summer. So great to meet you your an absolute legend 👍

[@gordonmatkin9388]

Great video. Bet you was still riding that track in dreams when you went sleep. Good footage & looks like you had a good crowd with you. 👍😄

[@stephenmcqueen4029]

The wheelies look very addictive

[@endasthenrik516]

Oh maaan, this was a joy to watch! The perfect balance of tracktime and chitchat in between. Can't wait for Malaysia to get their covid shit together so I can do Sepang again.

Thanks Tony appreciated buddy 👍

Well done Chopsy! Keep up the awesome work.

30C Hot!! Im ex Aberden now in Melbourne, Australia. Up to 45 in summer , 30 when you get up at 6.30am in summer. Love your work though!

[@LambChopRides]

But in our defence its a very humid heat here, would take a dry 40c over a humid 30c. But yes us Brits don't do hot 🤣

[@nicklake8224]

I picked mine my new speed up 3 weeks ago because of you chops and I love it mega fun bike 👍

[@LambChopRides]

Brilliant bike Nick isn't it, editing this video really made me want one again! 👍

[@nicklake8224]

Yes I was worried I have had 2 s1000rr for last 5 years but I am 46 and the back is struggling so time is was time for a fast naked but I am happy 😃

[@SWFlowseeker]

Nice riding..fun to watch!

[@turbodave6068]

Awesome video mate top notch as always

[@mikev6046]

I haven't read the manual on this, but: Does a higher octane fuel help on track with the newer bikes like the Speed Triple?

[@talkingrock7011]

Summer time in the south feels like riding in a microwave nice bike , awesome bike the power wheele at 24 minutes was breathtaking

[@oddjobtriumph1635]

That Speedy looks like it has an absolute stonking Chassis ....the handling looked epic for a Naked

[@LambChopRides]

Yes absolutely does, bloody lovely 😍

[@marcdavis2840]

Nicely done fella👍 Thought that rider at 24.12 was going to bin it after that lunge 😳 Why you don't have 100k subs yet is a mystery to me

[@rolandfullthrottle8316]

Looks like a full day of fun,Chopsie 👍 Major problem that we’ve experienced with the new Speed RS on track is that it’s very keen to come up at the front...maybe a little bit too much, tbh 😏 but what a bike it is , even on ‘Road-Mode’ . Enjoy these days while they last 😎

[@LambChopRides]

Yes I would agree but can't be worse than the Superduke? I suspect the Streetfighter would be nice and stable though

[@rolandfullthrottle8316]

@@LambChopRides I must admit I haven’t been able to ride either of those bikes 😔 but if you say so, I’m with you 😎👊

[@MogV4sp]

Yes not as quick as the race bikes but I'm sure we have more fun on these nakeds,,,and we can hold our own with some of them ! I know I'm always giggling when i get back to the pits but maybe 50% of that is because I've survived another session . Great video as always 🙂

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah nakeds are brilliant fun on track! Less work too

[@steveharvey4036]

Awesome shots thanks

[@91scalloped]

I love seeing one of the bikes I own out on the track but I hate seeing it get it ass handed to it so brutally. You have got to get your chest down snd plated into the tank if you’re going to max wrist that baby snd stop sitting straight up; you sit up to slow down for corners. You don’t have bad form but you under use the rear brake , gallivant through corners you could easily dip into snd then open the throttle wud open with this bike. Thanks for the content but you could save yourself so much effort through the entire race with minor changes. Cheers to the 1200 RS.

[@ragerider6283]

Nice vid & great effort chops. The Trumpet seemed rather stonking on track but possibly just let down by it's electronics a bit maybe? Although either way it's bikes like this that are the reason sports bike sales are declining I guess as they're so good at everything.

[@TheLiddleBigChannel]

The flat torque curve of the speed Triple RS even with stock gearing does a lot to hang with the 200+bhp bikes. If the lap record between a 600 Superstock and a 1000 Superstock is just a touch more than 3 seconds then the Speed can do a lot better still if you could spend more time at Oulton Park.

[@markbaker5221]

Chops Wheel up mate I love it🏍💨💨 Looks like a cracking track

[@OCCUPIEDNATION]

JEALOUS!!!

[@mrcintheuk5596]

Usual, only to be expected, entertaining and high quality vlog. 👍 I still don't like super naked bikes though. All that power you can't use without head butting an increasingly resistant mass of air and being a permanently engaged air brake. 🤷‍♂️

[@benmaisano4484]

You're able to hold your own against super sport's bikes in the advanced group on an borrowed naked bike on an unfamiliar track,impressive! I'd like to hear a more comprehensive view of the speed triple 1200 rs on the track.

[@deanharris9331]

Great video again Chops Awesome camera work too 👍 😀

[@steveball2307]

What a day out! All you needed was a pair of clip ons and a bit of aero..... Looks like Triumph could be, maybe, perhaps thinking the same thing......?? 🤔

Awesome footage.Kinda special this as my Mum was born and grew up just up the road.Then moved out to Rhodesia....Does the Wind Blast not bother you?Cheers.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Peter!! Yes I agree she does, shes a natural

[@xorbe2]

Those liter sportsbikes passing pretty hard at 115 mph a couple times. I've see 4 dynos online, and 2 of then were 164-165 and looked similar, but the other two were 150-ish and looked similar. Perhaps USA got a weaker bike again like S1000RR and CBR1000RR-R. Either way, without fairings you are a boat anchor at 100+ ... even 600cc will pass you eventually on an endless straight. I've only been to about 115 on mine ...

[@LambChopRides]

Yes your right 130 it really starts to slow due to the wind! You certainly feel the speed though 😎
