Charley Boorman review / TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE 1200 RS

[@blue7671]

my favourite bike , manifesting to buy it after i graduate college still 3 yrs to go

[@julianhunter9455]

Triumph make incredible, beautiful and elegant motorcycles and their triples are addictive! Stick to your guns, work hard and apply yourself and you'll get there!

[@nabahmadi5012]

Are you currently riding? The 765 triple is a VERY go0d option to consider. Unless you're in a place with license restrictions.

[@brandino9000]

@@nabahmadi5012I love riding the regular S3, how does the street feel compared to it?

[@nabahmadi5012]

@@brandino9000 highly recommend. And I'm a massive Honda fan. For the street, you have a well balanced suspension, good power delivery. You have torque with a good amount of revs. It almost is really the best of both worlds. (Twin and inline 4) Brakes are nice and beefy. Looks like DC black manta 😆. If I was to be picky, I would say it's annoying to have to pull the clutch to start the engine.

[@thesage1621]

By then, you will love another bike, mate!

[@kiwicanuck5459]

Had mine for 2yrs and 25k so far and love it. Done long touring on mine and no issues, can ride it all day.

[@modpup]

Hi. I have never rode a naked bike. How is the wind on the freeways and does the wind beat you up longer rides. Would be a concern for me. Thanks

[@AbrasivMusic]

@@modpup as someone with 3 nakeds including this bike, on the Speed Triple, wind is only an issue at speeds over 110 mph. And by "issue" I mean if you are going to sustain those kinds of speeds, you will need to lie on the tank. My Street Twin, where you sit more upright, over 80 is a workout.

[@NForNorth]

Thank you Charlie. You an Ewan are one of the biggest reasons why i started to look for adventures in life and just 2 days ago i took my Motorcycle license. so thans for all the insperation you give.

[@iopusor]

I had the 2013 street triple R and loved it. One thing that really stood out to me in this video was when you talked about the display. Its incredibly easy to see and read even from a video like this.

[@ENGBriseB]

Elexcent review Charlie brought back some great memories. Glad to see Triumph making some really good bikes. Thanks for sharing.

[@hoo7igan]

I had a tiger years ago, made me fall in love with triumph motorcycles, the triple engine sound, the sensation of a well made machine, and the attention to detail… Had to sell my tiger during the pandemic because of economics issues… The moment i can buy a triumph again will be the moment i'll know i had overcome all the problems im facing… It will be the moment of triumph

[@IslandADV]

What fantastic looking machine. I can tell how enjoyable it must be just by the way you look at it. It's the same way I stare at my bike in the garage just before I'm convinced to take it out. Excellent review.

[@retrostu1]

I used to have the Street Triple RX, was going to work my way up to the Speed Triple RS one day. Love the sound of them 🥰

[@spoonlamp]

Great to see Charlie enjoying bikes especially on this beast, but I have to say, this is the best combination of helmet and mic I think I've heard - superb blend of quality and soundproofing, really clear delivery.

[@Inthewind24]

I love my 2022 Speed Triple RS. Suspension is a bit stiff but you can tune it to be pretty great on the street. My best mod was a pair of Michelin Power 5 tires. Changes the bike in such a nice way for street riding. Plenty of grip and not as harsh riding as the Metzelers that come in it. Now if they did that orange in a gloss finish I might just trade up a year😊

[@Charley.Boorman]

Ha ha, yes I do like an orange bike.

[@malcolmabram2957]

I ride a BMWR1250R, which I confess is a fantastic bike to ride on the road, especially on twisty A roads. It is now 3 years old, but I do have niggles. It is not an easy bike to start on a cold day, the battery can go flat easily without a good run, needs a special battery charger. Also have not good used to the TFT display, and when a service is due it is covered all over (service due) except for the speedo, which is damn annoying. Also my dealer is 50 miles away, and it is difficult to get it serviced elsewhere. There is a major triumph dealer in town, and this bike really appeals to me as a trade in. Yes it has more hp, but candidly, the BM really pulls as well with similar 0-60 figure. It also tremendous low rev torque (I never take it above 4000 rpm on the road, there is no need). My one concern is habing ridden boxers a long time I do like shaft drive.

[@dddon513]

I've had the previous Gen rs for several years. Been thinking of switching it up to something else. Not sure if it's worth changing to a slightly better version of the same bike. But YT knows I'm thinking about it. Sends me tons of reviews.

[@andydefaoite2567]

Just stumbled across your channel Charley, looking forward to your future content 🥂

[@enduroforever4878]

Mr.Charley has this RS a wheelie control button in different levels to prevent unpleasant situation or has no at all,thats why you said all the time has the tedency to whillie,that's an awesome bike anyways!

[@shuggsluggs9126]

Great Bid i have the Street Triple but this Speed is on the Horizon

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

I very nearly bought a mustard coloured one recently after my Superduke was stolen in Brighton, however I wasn't done with the Superduke yet so bought another one. Never had a Triumph, next bike I reckon

[@scharfmesser]

Hi Charley, thank you for your review, I am about to buy this motorcycle. I noticed that while driving, the front wheel of this motorcycle slightly lifted off the ground several times. Is this something you did intentionally or did you turn off the electronic system that prevents the front wheel from lifting? Or was the electronic system not working? Thanks!

[@KakuiKujira]

I don't know how I feel about that stall-control. We all stall it now and again, and I think it's important to be humbled. Then again, I thought quick-shifters were a waste of time, until I tried one...

[@southpawsNfriends]

How's the quick shifter? Triumph has a history of issues with that. Great video!

[@linelevelmedia7357]

I could see the anti-stall feature being great on learner bikes, with some tweaks of course

[@Charley.Boorman]

Yes it’s really good idea. It’s on the triumph tiger as well.

[@TheOriginalCoda]

I just took the 765RS out for a test ride. I did stall it once 😂

And Suzuki SV650.

[@jedw9983]

Rubber side up, Charlie! Great review. P.S. I've heard it's a little heavy and also the handle bars are a bit stooped down - but I haven't tried it tbh.

I liked the anti stall once I got used to it. Still stalled it though - just talented that way.

[@TrevorGoodone-x6t]

The best Triumph Speed Triple made was and is the 955i.... I own one and I have toured Canada on a Speed Triple 955i and early 1050i (hired out there). The Speed Triple 955i is definitely enough for the car clogged roads of the UK!!!! I have watched these YT reviews on the latest Speed Triple 1200 RS and smiled! I'm surprised Triumph went that far and put a 180bhp 1200 tuned engine in the Speed Triple - an unfaired motorcycle... It is only to keep up with the competition I suspect. Majority of riders don't need that power on UK roads and this latest machine is spoiling the overall image of the Speed Triple. The 1200RS is race focused, ultra stiff suspension and the motor is revvy. The whole idea of the Speed Triple was a detuned engine to bring the torque in at a low revs. So you ride the torque with no need to hit the rev limiter! It's an unfaired road machine after all. I had the Speed Triple 955i (108bhp and 72lbft of torque) flat out in Canada (empty roads) and it just "clicked" onto 143mph! I was lying on the tank with the wind blast on a still day, my helmet was being pushed back stretching the skin around my eyes so I was squinting.... See what I am saying? I personally would not buy the Speed Triple 1200 RS, there is no need for all that power and torque on a supposedly road motorcycle!!! Triumph should have put that 1200RS engine in a Daytona and left the Speed Triple at 1050cc Max! I'm a big Triumph fan but I'll stick with the best Speed Triple made, thank you.

[@molemarden5188]

I had a Triumph street triple lovely bike around the corners no better.but the wiring shit .the wire broke by the key .all connecter was rusted.fan packed up .regulator/rectifier replaced.the bike only did 15000 miles .they ok if you don’t go in the wet.Kawasaki 1000sx no problem in all weather it’s done 35000 now

[@dougiequick1]

can you find nuetral now on the 2023? I understand it has been a miserable problem with no apparent fix for 2022 bikes? I really am interested in buying one but not if I cant put into nuetral whenever I need to ....that would just be awful! I mean sure you can just use the clutch but when it's a long wait or warming it up before riding I dont see how ANYONE would tolerate having to fight the transmission for such a simple request as nuetral!

[@1990-t1j]

I'm sure this is a really good bike, Charley, but I prefer your 1200 twin.

[@maxepta]

What about the fuel consumption ?

[@Charley.Boorman]

Hey there, I suppose the fuel consumption depends on how hard you use the throttle!!! Haha

[@Jambome]

If only triumph can put this engine on some stilts (tiger 1200 sport) it would thoroughly give the S1000xr a proper run for it's money. The old 1050 sport was crying out for an overhaul, not extinction. Fingers crossed they do. I know they listen. At least they say they do. 🤞🤞

[@photographerjonathan]

I think that all of the motorcycle companies don't have a clue about what people really want. they think that people want naked bikes. but they don't want naked bikes. what people really want are sport bikes with fairings, but with naked bike ergonomics. they are buying naked bikes because they are sick of the modern day sport bikes that are track racing bikes with back breaking ergonomics that you cannot be comfortable on for more than a half an hour. with unusable back seats. This new Speed triple 1200 RS is an amazing bike. I love it, but you cannot use the power because anything over 70 and the wind is hammering you like a hurricane, so what good is the power. give me a bike that I can go 150 on without being hammered by the wind. and I guarantee that 90% of people agree with me. I just bought a DUCATI Supersport because it is one of the only sane bikes on the market. a sport bike with a fairing, with reasonably comfortable ergonomics. and for people who say the wind isn't bad on a naked bike. they are full of it. you can't get around the FACT that if you are going 120 mph. then the wind is hitting you at 120 mph. that is a level 3 hurricane. and a 150mph is a level 5 hurricane. it's simple logic.

[@_TimTurb0_]

Fz1 works well enough for me in that regard. Lol all this complaint about wind, I'm only 140 lbs and genuinely don't get the fuss..

A little stiff is an understatement for a 75kg bloke, even when it has been set and backed off etc etc its almost dangerous and unsettles itself on the bends if hit a bump etc. looks its stunning but after 4 trials on the best and suspension setup it did not go into my garage which was frustrating. if only the gave the suspension off the RR to the RS, sorted it would be. not been a good seller this time around for Triumph according to the figures I've seen

[@Sjoldschool]

Reliability is a major issue for me … I’ll pass. I’m more interested in Charlie’s watch than the bike and also the paintwork on Triumphs recently isn’t that great. Admittedly a good motorcycle but reliability issues are a deal breaker I’ve seen too many of them on KZbin with faults.
