TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE 1200 RR FIRST RIDE & REVIEW

[@naterater2330]

765 or R6 for sure. Coming from a guy with an S1K, i finally rode an R6 and can see why people love them for the track so much. Also owned a Street Triple R, so can vouch for both bikes if you're scared to damage one of your expensive bikes.

I absolutely love my 1200RR. With a cat delete exhaust it really sounds amazing!

[@chasebagwell2178]

What cat delete you go with

[@thoughtaken]

i owned a ‘22 speed RR last season, there’s a few reasons why i sold mine. a. minor quality issues, had a oil leak from the factory (gear position o ring), clear coat was spotty in some areas, and rust in the front axel from the factory b. electronics were completely unreliable, sometimes traction control worked and sometimes it decided it didn’t want to. i found myself just turning it off bc of how bad it felt. even with it completely off i still felt like it was interfering in some ways. c. the s1000rr is just a better street bike, while also being faster. the 1200 lugs around at 30 mph in first and second, feels horrible while the s1k can cruise around the city no problem while having a 20mph faster top speed d. the 1200 is also limited to 160mph with the stock tune. you can get it to 183 with a bren tune but this voids the warranty. there’s also very little aftermarket support for this bike.

[@109rfan1]

i started watching your channel due to the speed triple. you should do a follow up on your experience.

[@shauns5278]

Oh man I knew you sold yours but don't actively follow you so didn't realize how many issues you had. Really seems like you got a lemon. The RR is built in the UK not Thailand like other Triumphs so the fit and finish is usually top notch. Also benefits of the Brentune and DNK it's easy enough to switch back to the stock tune in 30 minutes for any warranty claims. The late 22 factory ECU update fixes quick-shift lag some people experienced then last year they did a recall to add a heat shield near the headers and intake to prevent overheating in places like Florida. Those are the only common issues. Triumph just released a new ECU update to help cooling even more but I'd avoid it unless you live in an area where it regularly hits 115F or higher because it slightly reduces peak power. Also 5th gear has a higher top speed from the factory than 6th lol you can hit around 168~ with a full tuck. For a genuine true liter sport bike I'd also give the nod to the S1KRR or the ZX-10R with a tune.

[@thoughtaken]

@@shauns5278to be fair i never really talked about my issues on camera, but maybe i’ll make some videos about it. it’s a fine bike but there’s just better bikes out there

[@shauns5278]

​@@thoughtaken I think it's definitely niche but I think it's punching in the right areas. It's got cruise control and heated grips as much torque as the Aprilia's while making it earlier and on a much broader band while having as much horsepower as the Tuono. I feel if its clip-ons were like 1 inch higher people would have been a lot easier on it. I also just love triples and am a huge Triumph simp. Have owned an FZ/MT-09, Street RS and now the Speed RR.

[@CorBor69]

@@thoughtakenthat sucks man it seems like you just have bad luck with bikes lol. I’ve had mine since February, put 5k miles on it so far and have had zero mechanical or electrical issues on my Speed RR.

[@shauns5278]

Just bought one myself in the Hopper Red. You can find serious steals on leftover 22-23 models. For the price I seriously think the Speed RR is THE best deal on the market if you want a new hyper bike with warranty. I have seen them as low as $15K OTD from smaller mom and pop shops that couldn't move them. As for flashing it seriously makes a crazy difference a BT Tune adds around 24-26whp with just the factory exhaust or a slip-on while DNK for 1/4 the price gets around 15whp. I'd say the best exhausts are Leiker and Racefit for 2/3 systems then there's really only two options for a full system Zard or Vandemon which I'd give the nod to Vandemon for having the only full Titanium system. Also can't forget this is a potential 200HP bike, after flash, that has heated grips, cruise control and built in BT connectivity and navigation while looking like nothing else on the road except for the Superveloce.

[@Rossiiride]

For sure, where I'm at the RS's are at 14. I'm trying to close a deal with it before it's gone.

[@shauns5278]

​@@Rossiiride If it's a leftover definitely message some further away dealers to have quotes for haggling. I seriously think my RR was the cheapest in the country with the deal I got. Even of a dealer won't haggle down much you can always try to get the heated grips, frame sliders or trickle charger thrown in for free

[@theoldmanonasportbike]

When looking for a track bike think about parts availability. Not if, but when you go down someone is going to have parts available in the pits for GSXRs and R1’s for example. I love my Aprilia’s, but I used to carry a garage worth of parts with me. The same with my 1199R track bike.

[@shauns5278]

D's still gotta flex though. Honestly Triumph hasn't been bad a direct order from the UK can sometimes take a couple months but Triumph Cleveland has what you need in stock 99% of the time cheaper than anyone else. Also being half-faired with proper frame and axle sliders like SW-MOTECH All you'll really hurt in a low side is your exhaust and mirror.

I rode a Street and Speed Tripple yesterday. I was underwhelmed by the Street, it was like an angry wasp but was too small for my frame. I was blown away by the Speed and for me it's currently the top runner in my wish list for my second bike. I have a Tiger 900 as a commuter that I do a lot of miles on, that's a terrific bike too.

[@jah280]

I test rode one of these at a MotoAmerica race day. Loved it. Good power (feels equivalent to a 1000cc bike from the early 2000s, but much smoother), great brakes and good handling. Getting back on my RSV4 1100 afterwards and you could feel the difference in power. This would be cool for an older rider who wanted to upgrade from a beginner machine but wouldn't really enjoy an R6 or GSXR-750. It's a 'safe' big bike.

[@NicePantsLance]

Thats strange, the Speed Triple felt way more powerful than the RSV4 pretty much until i got to 10rpm. Grab a handful of throttle at 3k rpm and the Triumph definitely feels faster. The Aprilia takes off in the higher rpms though.

[@SuperbikeOtaku]

Superbike_Otaku says MV Augusta is also a brand that you don't see much of. Beautiful bikes, exotic, status quo. MV Augusta stands out from the crowd.

[@shauns5278]

Downside with MV the whole company goes on vacation for a good portion of the year from late summer to early fall so you can't get any OEM parts during that period. Also due to the current KTM merger there is a No Order notice on the VAST majority of OEM parts and straight up bikes for that matter in North America currently. Went to my local MV dealership and they seriously didn't have a single MV in stock which is how I learned about the KTM merger issues. They said the ETA they have is late 25 to early 26 for shipments to begin again.

[@rns6889]

Yeah but theres too many downsides of having an mv, first they only sell you either 140 horsepower or 200 horsepower, purchase price, maintenence, is extremely expensive, mainly maintenence and dealership issues. And if you bin it and it needs fixing, it's gonna be even more expensive. A brutale sure stands out from the crowd, but the speed triple rr already does that alot, how distinguished from the crowd do you want to be? Brutale 1000 is too aggressive and peaky and the price is even more ridiculous, the 800 rr is inferior and more nervous to the street triple rs and the 990 duke around a track it's been tested in "fast bikes" KZbin channel. If you wanna buy an mv the only way to justify it is for the rarity of it, becuase in many ways it is inferior to other brands in direct competition. There is one thing I love about mv, it'd that 800 cc triple engine.. It revs, like the daytona.. It sounds so good. But the daytona doesn't exist anymore, which just makes it sound like the mv is special becuase the daytona exists, mv just lives in other brands shadows now, distinguished by their mtorocycle art philosophy. But I don't get mtorocycle for just looks, it's important but.. They just fall flat to other brands in every other aspect.

Nah, it's 436lbs wet. Not bad for a 1200. It's not my choice for the track but it's a seriously and deceptively fast road bike. The geometry makes it feel slow off center but it carves great and is dead stable all the way over. Very easy to ride fast. It's so much fun coming up out of corners with that fat torque curve.
