2025 Triumph Speed Twin 900 | First Launch Ride

[@urbanstrencan]

Chad, you are so lucky; all the new test rides are yours ;) Triumph did another superb job with the Speed Twin 900, I LOVE new color schemes :)

[@y0u5uf]

Those were the best riding shots I've ever seen bar non. You could see the lean, the bounce off the shocks mid corner and the speed. Better than the Mission Impossible I re-watched last night.. Great work!!!

[@Chad76Media]

Thanks

[@luddite6239]

Great footage - very cinematic! I like the colour combination - a bit reminiscent of the Gulf racing colours.

[@Chad76Media]

😊

[@honeyyeti5292]

You can’t ignore Chris!!!… take him along…. He can bring the funny….😁

[@Chad76Media]

Love the Chad

[@SimonVerrechia]

Very well reviewed. Articulated the essence of the bike without the detail guff.

[@rstrakovsky]

Personally, love how it looks with the upside down forks and piggyback shocks- very much a restomod vibe which I've always enjoyed. Sounds like the essence of the bike remains. An updated Moto Guzzi V7 850 vs Triumph Speed Twin 900 is in order. Also Triumph, baby, please give us a Scrambler 900 with at least 150mm suspension travel an tubeless wheels. I know you've got it in you!

[@paolo4002]

Nice little wheel hop lol 5:53

[@TNova-rd5ji]

God willing, and with my wife's understanding, Triumph will be my seventh and final motorcycle!

[@zebrakadaver626]

God loves you already can't you see? I hope to buy the speed twin too! Beautiful bike Peace be upon you random internet stranger

[@Kurtistrange]

Great bike not just for for beginners. Fun bike for peeps who like to cruise and take it easy.

[@jasm361]

look at those beautiful colors

[@T-Bone54]

Er...

[@aphexbubblebath]

why are they using trident 660 dash on speed twins? it looks good on the trident since its like a neo-retro street bike but i think they should have stuck with the analogue dash for the speed twins.

[@marumaru8338]

I think they want to use this dash because Trident doesn't make enough sales, and this part is a lot of stock in the manufacturing.

[@ogofog9120]

Like the 70’s graphics

[@trevorphillips3055]

Newton pounds of torque? You didn't remember rightly! 😂

[@Chad76Media]

Ha ha I know. Sorry. A lot to remember when riding

[@magellanicspaceclouds]

He invented a new unit of torque.

[@seanadamson280]

Blimey it's Chad again. He's bloody everywhere.

[@Chad76Media]

Love the Chad. He works hard

[@seanadamson280]

@Chad76Media put your feet up son you deserve it 🎉

[@BinMan-p6b]

Beautiful beautiful bike.

[@pauljoyce6535]

Thanks Chad.

[@Chad76Media]

Thanks

[@astonmartyr]

Does it get riding modes? And also the end cans look different from the outgoing model. Wonder how the exhaust sound has changed.

[@Chad76Media]

2 modes as standard. Yes different exhaust still sounds good

[@ragerider6283]

Nice review & a lovely bike. I really like it & I'm interested to see how it compares to the new Moto Guzzi V7 Sport, which seems very similar on paper.

[@Chad76Media]

Thanks

[@Harry.Bolsac]

My dog hates Guinness, only does Stella and Johnnie Walker.

[@arifs.b1515]

Should have stuck with the dual dash like the bonnies

[@tomsung2956]

This or the new base spec 1000 hornet?

[@Chad76Media]

Good question

[@sjoshuan]

Like the bike but terrible they buggered it up with the clocks …. Please there should be an option to bring them back- think Kawasaki 900RS clocks still look good but do the bike justice as well. Great review but Chad! Thank you

[@agnelt]

The new generation losing all the analog clocks is a shame. It's a "classic"

[@jerseycitymuaythai]

How does it compare to the speed twin 400? I bought that cause i live in the city but am now moving to the countryside…. Would you upgrade?

[@shremich4583]

400 single 40 hp 37,5 Nm - nice but less power 900 twin 65 hp 80 Nm - enough power as daily rider 1200 twin >100 hp >100 Nm - more power as enough

[@rocket3ful]

The Speed 400 is a single not a Speed 'twin'. The 900 is in a different league to the 400 so an 'upgrade' is worth it.

[@siraff4461]

I'm all for having the electronics there as an option but I also usually hate them when I'm riding (apart from very top drawer stuff on track). I wish there was an option for a normal model without it all. My fingers have been excellent ABS for almost 4 million miles now so I think I'm a little past the time where I need my hand holding by electronics which - at this level - almost invariably can't do as good a job and certainly can't predict whats coming next. If you're new or worried about it or even if ytou just can't be bothered to stay alert all the time I get it - electronics are great if you're not great but do they really need to be standard on what in reality isn't a hard bike to control in the first place?

[@Spacecataz21]

Who put Not_Yoki here? :o

[@briansummers5389]

Like the look of the old model better.

[@thodoris3790]

i ll wait to sat on it in the showrooms,but also to the new bmw f900r....

[@simonporter7655]

If I was buying this motor bike I would not want any of the nanny state stuff

[@flamintasty]

A bit different from that Panigale you were on the other day, Chad. The weather looks a lot better too 😂 That paint job looks much nicer than the 1200 Speed Twins you were on recently. The 1200 tanks look like a C&A jumper with those stripes on the bottom of the tank. Dunno why Triumph don’t make this colour scheme available on the 1200.

[@Chad76Media]

I’m a man of many skills.

[@gigi9467]

I just bought a 2024 model speed twin and for 8 grand which is how much i paid It’s a fabulous bike but for 10 grand it’s too overpriced for what it is especially if it’s supposed to be an entry-level bike.

[@astrokiteman1943]

Bring back analogue dials,😢

[@ColinVance-q8u]

That's nice, but Triumph DID NOT address my two biggest issues with my 2022 900 Street Twin! The lack of a sixth gear! The lack of a twin disk front brake! So, no thanks, the upgrade is NOT worth doing!

[@Chad76Media]

Brakes have improved

[@JPWest020]

Beautiful bike. But way too expensive.

[@richiektm]

Why do triumph insist on putting on Fisher price dashboards ruining the whole bike in my opinion

[@nomad667]

Why is no reviewer saying it went from beautiful dual clocks to a single cheap digi dash that is literally cheaper and not as readable w/o looking?

[@shremich4583]

the Speed Twin 900 2024 had no dual clocks but the 1200

[@The1977andi]

I loved the dash on my trident went perfectly with the bike but doesn't suit this style of bike as good.

[@aminjan56]

Look at you hiding from uk weather in spain

[@marksmallman4572]

I am doing the same, for the last 26 years, in Mallorca, just bought a Trident 660, awesome....

[@marksmallman4572]

I am doing the same, for last 26 years, Mallorca, just bought a new Trident 660, happy!

[@Chad76Media]

Yeah I know sorry

[@markhollidge8514]

Would buy one if it wasn't for the Casio LCD clock.

[@logangodofcandy]

Hey, at least it isn't a g-shock

[@sereneturmoil]

And the single front router/caliper set up in the front on a 900. Both good examples of engineering to a budget in the worst way.

[@MrTonifumi]

I'd buy one for £8000.....

[@colindeans5972]

Really good bike, but the clock / tft doesn't fit the genre. Triumph classics deserve twin clocks and I don't care about tech nonsense and phone connectivity drivel. It's a bike, ride and enjoy.

[@Rick-qf5de]

They were already too small and too Short...

[@Chad76Media]

Me?

[@jasm361]

R.E. dash seems better hmmmm

[@vaughanboyce3702]

Come on an IMU on a this bike, if you can't handle a 65hp in your right wrist than you shouldn't be riding...

[@gerrybailey447]

Ffs stick another disc on the the front and charge another couple of hundred quid, it may be powerful enough, but a single disc on a 900? It just looks meh.

[@itssanktime82]

Ugh that dash is a disaster. 😢

[@kyakaruvlogs2784]

I was almost sure to buy this, but the dash is giving me second thoughts

[@itssanktime82]

@kyakaruvlogs2784 what were they thinking? I honestly think the dials on a Bonneville are one of the most attractive and premium looking things.

[@1234567marks]

I agree the retro triumph’s should have twin clocks, my Thruxton 1200 does but my 1200 scrambler has the same clock as this 900, I’ll admit that the new dash is much easier/better to read but twin clocks would have been my choice.

[@richardshillam7075]

If you're staring at the clocks you are a danger to other road users

[@1234567marks]

@@richardshillam7075 Does that include when you are stood at the side of the bike admiring it Richard 🙂👍

[@adamhharbin]

I have the 2023 and your description sound’s like its demeanour remains. The concept of beginner or advanced is missed the point of riding altogether.

[@orenovadia6590]

Every time I see a picture of this bike it annoys me the lack of 17-in front wheel. The Bonneville T100 has the 18 at its full retro. Every other speed retro has 17s front and rear so should this no reason why it shouldn't

[@Chad76Media]

Looks and style

[@beetleything1864]

Pants

[@c.g.c2067]

Frankly, in my view the overall design of the previous gen. was better than this new one. Like led headlight but prefer older clock. Cornering abs is welcome but rider modes and tc control are unnecessary in my view.

[@robbikebob]

These bikes are obviously trying to distance themselves from retros... but keep the retro engine and twin shocks...they are getting very confused. No longer really appeal to modern classic lovers but are too comprised for lovers of street bikes or super nakeds.... like the colours though...

[@PV-Anish]

Not a fan of the clock🥲

[@glideman]

Sh1t clocks for the money, completely wrong for the bike, what were triumph thinking?

[@lestersmyth692]

Looks a bit budget with Mickey Mouse speedo and single front disc…… we see him here we see him there our man Chad is everywhere 👍

[@Chad76Media]

Thanks I think

[@marinusk67]

A classic twin with a single cheap plastic looking ⏰. No thanks

[@matusknives]

Why those black silencers? Looks like a pice of plastic. That de-centered dash is also a bit short on excitement. I mean - I don’t mind the more modern look, but those two things are not an improvement.

[@rdc3397]

🤢🤢🤮. Nope, that clock set is a deal breaker. Totally inappropriate for such a retro styled bike. The silencers are meh too! I'd buy last year's model if i wanted this triumph bike....

[@rideroll9609]

I cant stand that ugly display..... Thruxton 1200R got the last normal analog/digital display

[@shremich4583]

and T120, Speed 1200 before 2025

[@BIGGIEsmalls13]

Yay! Chad for Minister of Transport. Naff clock(s) and childish paint schemes R US....someone making decisions for 25' in Triumphs marketing dept is a bit shit at their job.

[@Chad76Media]

Yeah I could work in the government

[@sereneturmoil]

I don't have as big an issue with the LCD or aesthetic nature of the "dials" as many here, I actually think it effectively provides all of the necessary info clearly but I HATE that it's off-center and slightly to the left to provide room for the key. What a horrible visual issue resulting from lazy engineering on the ignition placement. Also a single brake setup on the front of a 900 with sporty pretensions? What the hell was Triumph thinking? This is a $10k bike, not a $5-6k "beginner " bike. There is obvious cost cutting/engineering to a price point happening here that put profit margin first. This bike does not deserve to be a volume seller in the market when you look at what other brands, especially those from Japan, offer for the same or similar money.
