I tried commuting on a Triumph Speed Triple RS... | 2022 Triumph Speed Triple RS Highway Riding

Nobody is going to buy a 2022 Triumph Speed Triple RS JUST for commuting but I'm sure there are at least a few of you out there that will end up commuting on it so in today's video we're putting it through a highway test to see how well it handles a commute! Highway riding on a super naked...what could go wrong?

It’s completely trivial, but that single sided swingarm is a selling point for me. I mount my own tires and not having to measure a thousand times to be sure they’re even is almost worth the cost over a Street Triple

[@chaseontwowheels]

Trivial my ass. Not only is it functional but it also looks cool as hell! A single sided swingarm will totally sell me on a bike!

[@greyanaroth]

They messed it up a bit with the exhaust: you've to take the entire thing off every time you want to change a tyre. Annoying.

[@joshsmith-qi3ph]

@HahrtDood Right? I have the high mount AR pipe. Don't even need to take exhaust off. Rear wheel takes like a minute to take off/put on.

Before even watching this, I can tell you my 2020 speed triple is more comfortable than just about any bike I’ve owned. Including BMW R1250 GSA, BMW 1600GTL, Harley Ultra Classic limited, and 2005 Honda gold wing. I routinely do 3 hr pleasure rides with no pains. Mountains, highway and city.

You are right, I have a 2020 s just for commuting, it is very comfortable.

[@thirukkakarnans7497]

Have you toured on it for a multi-day trip? I like the looks of it and planning to do a bit of track as well, but cant afford a different bike to tour.. worried about the head winds and cases and no pillion seats..

[@hva8x57]

Had a naked Bandit this summer and used it for touring as well as commuting and all other fun riding. Sold it to a friend of mine. He gave me a ring later on and wondered how I was able to tour on it. He thought the wind pressure on his chest was high. Gave it some thought and I realized I always have a larger tank bag in front of me. At least for me that seems to be one option if you would like to own and use a naked bike for everything! 😁 Great review as always! Keep em coming! 🙌

[@scottsspeedtriplechannel]

I bought a 2007 Speed Triple brand new and found it to be the most comfortable bike I had ever ridden. I viwed to keep that bike forever and just rebuild the engine when needed. But then I saw the 1200. I now have the 1200RS. Still in love with the Speed Triple line. Triumph forever.

[@salsasnacker]

Hands down the best all around bikes. Perfect mix of low range and high range torque/power compared to the 4 bangers and twins I've owned. I've owned a 955, a 1050, these days I have a 675 street triple R. I want to add a 1200 RR to the stable too though. That retro fairing is so pretty.

[@scottsspeedtriplechannel]

​@@jorgevillalobos5278I have no experience with nor have I done any research on the FTR. I can tell you that I am quite satisfied with my Speed Triple 10,000 miles and over 2 years since purchase.

[@Thomas-qn4hj]

I own a Speed Triple, mostly for back road riding, but yes I could tour on it, I would have to give up a little storage space, and have seriously considered taking it over the Tiger 1050 for a tour from CA to TX and back.

[@maxymillz]

Agreed that the wind is rough on this bike. I got the tiny factory wind screen for the bike and it surprisingly helps a lot on the highway! I like the look of the headlights without that screen, but it helps me for highway commuting.

[@californiapoontappa]

I'm waiting for Puig to put out a nice screen to block wind

[@treemands]

You have nailed the dilemma of the Century on Speed 3's. Windscreen displaces wind BUT looks so much better without it!

[@alanhassall]

I used to ride a Buell XB9 Lightning home. I just leaned into the wind and rode it. I rode it over 1000 miles to a rally once and it was fun.

[@jvlivtriple]

I commuted 120 miles round trip on my 2002 Speed Triple for years until I retired in 2016. I found it a great bike for that purpose. It has 88,000 miles on it with no major issues. I have never owned a road bike with a fairing so I don't understand that issue. I also took that bike on trips. With a couple of soft bags and my back pack I was able to take 7 to 10 day trips fairly easily. Maybe the new version of the S3 has lost some day to day capability. I still have that Triumph and have no plans on selling it. I have other bikes, mostly for going off road, but I will never sell my old S3.

[@scottsspeedtriplechannel]

I commute 100 miles a day on mine when the weather agrees. I ride with a large tank bag and wear a Shoei Rf1400 helmet. I get some mild buffeting on the highway since I added the fly and windscreen. Before I added them, I had no buffeting that I noticed. I actually moved my bars forward slightly. I am 6 feet tall. As far as being blown around, I don't notice that much derivation from my set course unless I am using cruise control. It's amazing how much we use throttle control for steering.

[@user-pw4ei5xb6f]

This thing looks amazing!

[@ZediMaster]

Interesting vid. Ride safe, god bless u.

[@TheTexacansChannel]

Great review man I’ve got a 2012 street triple r and I love it but damn does that cruise control sound so nice haha slap a tank bag and a backpack and I can ride all day!

[@sombre6184]

Fun video. You should always try the factory fly/windscreens on these naked bikes on the highway. Also the factory ``comfort seats``. These 2 items make a difference most of the time on these type of bikes.

[@chaseontwowheels]

Totally agree. We typically don't have loaner bikes that long and aren't able to modify them so the OEM would have to supply that for us.

[@chalkdemon8019]

I never thought the Speed Triple RS would be too bad of a commuter bike, now the RR will probably be a bad commuter because of the aggressive positioning the rider’s in.

[@deenbrownel]

4:51 damn look at that thing rollin'

[@Clarkbait]

Put the mini fairing(without the extra extension) on mine and made the wind a lot better. 5 Hours is the longest ride I put in. If there were better options for bags on the rear I would tour.

[@aka_pierre]

I'm stuck between this and the street triple, I like the speed more, but I feel like for street use the streety is going to be just as good or better.

[@chalkdemon8019]

@@aka_pierre if were you, I would go with the street triple.

[@yashinnil5047]

@@aka_pierre the Street765 is more fun on the street(makes sense I guess haha) where u get to rev it out more often and listen to the bike scream . but it could get tiring day to day where as the Speed1200 would handle street duties effortlessly but you need to go ALOT faster to let the exhaust open up . Also, the Speed1200 handles highway cruising effortlessly.. for the street765 anything constant above 90 mph feels like you're working the engine quite a lot

[@sochetraiem9567]

@@aka_pierre When in doubt, always buy the smaller bike. Those higher displacement bikes don't have much more usable power for the street, but they always come with weight penalty. If you're not ready to jump to 150+hp bike, don't do it.

[@Clarkbait]

@@aka_pierre I had ridden the Street 765 a while back and thought it was too close to a sportbike in terms of low end power. I automatically assumed that the Speed would be better on the low end. it feels just as much like a sportbike. While it isnt bad. it really is bogged down under 20 mph and low speed maneuvers are not as easy as I would like. Hoping the Dynajet I picked up can help a bit on the low end. As everyone else said, start with the Street. The aftermarket support is way better for it as well.

[@mktm1290]

I have a 2020 superduke r and I have only just found out that you can disengage the cruise control the same way, like you said so much better and smoother way to do it, I used to have to get ready if I was going to tap the breaks ha ha

[@nephilymbass1]

I think wind being a factor on naked bikes is really only a thing for people who are traveling across country on the interstate or that live in specific areas where they plan to use the interstate often. Your trip from Atlanta to the mountains for example. My trip to the beach here in NC is 100 miles each way. But it’s actually faster from fort Bragg NC to take hwy 87 (only 55mph limits) down to the beaches that I go to. We have interstates that get up to 80mph speed limits but they are out of the way and it absolutely sucks if you get stuck behind a wreck on the interstate because traffic can get backed up for miles. So I really don’t use them that much. Because we have a lot of wide open country it’s nicer to take the smaller 55mph highways and enjoy the curves and scenery. Even more reasonable highway trips like fort Bragg to Raleigh NC which I could do by taking 95 north to 40west, we have hwy401 which is the same kind of deal as 87, it’s more of a straight shot and when you’re out in the country between the two major towns it’s mostly 55mph so there’s no issue of fighting the wind at 80mph for long periods of time. Interstates here are mainly used for traveling out of state. Like taking the kids to Disney in Florida or to my moms in Atlanta. I really don’t have a reason to ride on the interstate other than legally being able to go a bit faster for an exit or two for fun. But I would never do it long enough for it to be a big issue. At least not now. Maybe when I retire I’ll get a big ass gold wing or something and travel all over the country but that’s not in the plans anytime soon.

[@PLVC3BO]

Probably one of the rare models that comes with rearview mirrors that are actually nice

[@pcarts232]

The wind on the speed triple is brutal it’s so weird, it’s like it senses wind and just passes it straight to you it’s annoying but I still love mine !!

AWESOME BIKE ! ! ! ! AMAZING ! ! ! ! FANTASTIC ! ! ! !! MAGICAL ! ! ! ! ! ! SUPERB ! ! ! ! ! !

[@scottsspeedtriplechannel]

One thing I do notice every time I ride is that the clutch has very positive action once it is warm. On the very first start from cold, the clutch is "notchy". I think it may be that the oil has not fully encased the ramps in the slipper/ grabber ramps until you have ridden a few miles. I have tried to work the clutch lever a few times prior to riding off, and also let the bike warm up for a few extra minutes, but it doesn't seem to matter. Once warm it's great.

[@treemands]

Somehow a feature when pulling off is that the bike gives you throttle without turning the throttle or just releasing the clutch. Kind of a nice feature. I am at 1k miles on mine.

[@AlexandStuff]

Great review as usual. What gloves are you wearing? Doesn't look like the ones you posted in your description.

[@pete6705]

A street triple is the only bike I’ve owned, and I love the bike, but hate it on the highway. People tell me I’ll get used to the wind, but I definitely haven’t gotten used to it yet

[@roaming-aus]

With the troubles on the freeway. Vehicles ahead of you cause turbulence, especially pickups which can feel like you’re getting blown around.

[@kramerguitars204]

I’m a big fan of touring on a naked bike. I’ve done road trips on my mt-09, and getting ready for a trip on my 2004 Speed Triple. Not the best bike for the job, but definitely doable.

[@daxmotis27]

I ride mine 4-5 hours. Only think that hurts is my knees typically. Could use a peg lowering kit but other than that the flyscreen works pretty well. I didn’t experience getting blown around too much. But I’m also in canyons and such so the wind is more channeled and not side to side.

[@commanderroddi7742]

Dang CChase! a 5 hour Commute??? That's a trip to Vegas for me! I actually am kinda looking at a Naked bike that I can either Tour or Track. I have a Jixer 1000R right now, and its a good bike, but I at a place where I can start touring with my bike, and I don't want a cruiser. Did tour a bit on a 390 Adventure (8 hours without mods). I also went on some trips on a buddy's 1290 Super Duke (2019 model) and had a '14 Street Triple I took on some trips to Vegas and California. So, I am looking at this bike (and some others, Super Duke, Duke R, MT-10 or MT-09, even the Street Tiple RS or the XSR900, and MT-10 temps me b/c I had R1 and I miss the sound of that engine). So... Thanks for this video. Think 5 hours is an extreme commute, but, Then again, I grew up in LA area where people do commute 2-3 hours b/c traffic, which is why I learned to ride in the first place and got my motorcycle license. Love the Video, and Yes, I would tour with this bike, so it would be interesting in these videos to mention if there are modifications that would make the bike a better touring bike (windscreens, hand guards, saddlebags, etc, which I assume there are, as the before mentioned Super Duke I borrowed had a windscreen and sadlebags on it, hand guards, heated grips/seat, and a Must for me: Cruise control.

[@kevinlugonzbi6005]

OC: I would consider touring on a naked bike, but I wouldn't want to make a habit of it. I think it really depends on the naked bike; some have a nice smooth airflow that doesn't seem to buffet, while others (cough cough my 2015 Bonneville cough cough) seem to be intent on exhausting you with turbulence.

[@MuhaloTube]

OC: easiest way to cancel the cruise control light is ALT+F4. Also, no I wouldn't tour nekkid like that. Still an excellent bike!

[@yashinnil5047]

Btw Guys one trick to change modes between Rain>Road>Sport WITHOUT causing the engine braking to slow the bike down is to activate the cruise control. This way you continue forward progress without having to suddenly slow down when shutting the throttle. CC works from as low as 32mph ps I have the fly screen and windshield on mine + rotated the handlebars back ever so slightly. I would definitely tour on it once the flu situation clears out ! suspension in the comfort setting is quite plush

[@joshakins9090]

I have this bike and love it for what I like doing: being a hooligan. However, there's a half dozen other bikes I'd pick over this if commuting was my primary driver.

[@ericlemon2870]

I just did a 7,000 mile trip around the western US on a MT 09 with no windscreen in September so this thing would be no problem at all for a long trip. I had a puig touring screen that I tried before the trip but found that it directed the air straight to the bottom of my helmet and made it deafening inside so I got rid of it. I also use it for food delivery and often put on 200+ miles a day.

[@chaseontwowheels]

Wow props on a killer trip man! What was your favorite part of the whole thing?

[@ericlemon2870]

@@chaseontwowheels hard to say honestly. I'm from the straight roads of Illinois so thousands of miles of non stop twisties was heaven. Hit the beartooth pass wich was amazing, going to the sun road, Yellowstone and route 1 were all breathtaking. The ride across the rockies in Colorado was probably the most beautiful spot but it hit like 20ish degrees and snowing which was pretty brutal. Started going into hypothermia the day before that because I was only in a hoodie and got soaked by a truck so had to ride over an hour like that till I could find a gas station and change. Probably one of the scarier rides I've been on just trying to stay awake and my face and arms were purple when I got there. Needless to say I started with the rain suit on the next day for even worse conditions.

[@sangxu5391]

that glossy black tank cover of recent street/speed triples are sexy AF. I wasn't a fan of the styling but the minute I sat on one and touched the tank cover I fell in love.

[@AndrewDemonbreun]

I have a Street Triple RS and I feel slightly the same about touring. Even with less aggressive tires that bike will absolutely not settle in on the interstate. That and cruising at 80mph put me right at the threshold of 8,000 RPM so the bike is constantly wanting to spool up. I love my bike but feel like it falls more into the great at trackdays side of naked bikes. Instead of the great at being an all around naked bike.

[@ribalderr6052]

8000 rpm at 80 is buzzy as heall, I know. I changed both sprockets on my old Z1000 down 1 in back, up 1 in front an brought it down alot 5000rpm at 75. thats a good enough freeway speed and the threshold of buzziness & winds too much. even a little higher like 6k rpm is annoying buzzy if constant, an worse going up. it used to be like 8k too at 80. v twins are better for highway, and harleys lope along at like 2500 at these speeds, lol, virtually idling.

What’s the temperature like there? I was riding last weekend in town, not going more than 30 miles nor above 60 mph but after a 40 min ride I was shaking. I’m also a pretty skinny guy so I guess that doesn’t help.

[@chaseontwowheels]

Here in ATL it totally depends. Most days are in 40s but randomly it’ll like low 60s.

[@nikhilpatel1448]

@@chaseontwowheels yeah that’s pretty much what it’s like here too right now in the D.C area. Do you wear heated gear? Or layer up?

[@kennynatco7224]

How comfy is the seat?

[@solstar4778]

Good question anyone with the answers?

[@sacredgeometry]

Would I tour on a naked bike? I did 400 miles on a street triple rs for a Christmas (split in half with maybe 4-5 hours rest to do Christmas dinner in between) On the way there it was really calm, cold but I was basically teletubbied up in a sleeping bag style cold weather onesie. On the way back it was literally gale force winds (50+mph) on tiny little English roads with no lights for the first hundred 80ish miles and apart from nearly getting hit by some idiot driving the wrong way onto a dual carriageway I got home was fine. I was tired but not even sore (or actually cold thanks to my suit). Definitely should have got heated grips and bought a better helmet but other than that yeah. I would and have toured on a bike like that and the wind is fine.

Nitpicky is the correct adjective... The RS is brilliant.. but, it's not a commuter... you deserve an NT 1100 DCT... STABLE, CRUISE, EXCELLENT MILEAGE, and COMFORT for cross-country...

He deserves a flogging! Although he may like it too much. Period

[@brucearena]

OC: wouldn't tour on a naked without at least a high windscreen. In the case of that speed triple, putting a windscreen on would kill the looks

[@chaseontwowheels]

See thats what Im saying. You can't mess it up like that.

[@DanRaabecoach2014]

Would you travel (with luggage) on this bike?

[@treemands]

I had the Speed Triple tank bag and tail bag on my last Speed Triple. Gives pretty much storage but kicking your leg up over the tail bag can be a pita.

[@boris2997]

The bug eyed lights look ugly on the T Triple, they should change it for a single head- light

[@Corvus.2606]

if you want a single headlight, take a look at the speed triple 1200RR, it has a bikini fairing and a single round headlamp. Personally I love the angry bug eyes.

[@earthlyng_official4599]

The bug eye front end is hideous. Stop it triumph

[@daxmotis27]

It grows on you. Looks better with flyscreen too

[@o_sirohi]

I miss Yummi… :(

[@danieltacy3996]

Just curious to how you get shots like that so far away from the bike?

[@xorbe2]

Cam van.

[@chaseontwowheels]

We have a camera car that shoots it.

[@danieltacy3996]

Ahhh, gotcha. I thought that at first. Then when it switched. There was no cars or anything so I was like how the hell? Haha thank you. I absolutely love your content. Keep it up!!

[@Frank_Torre]

OC: I love Triumphs. But they broke my heart discontinuing the Daytona. If I got a new one I think it be a Street Triple instead. But sorry Triumph I really want that MT09 SP like really bad. Also was waiting for Beau to say "I'm the king of the world" at the end.

[@1MrBryn]

I want to love this bike, but they just played it too safe with the styling. Speed Triples were historically Lin your face with Retina searing colour options available. This new one is just too bland looking.

[@dougiequick1]

How ridiculously thoughtless is Triumph for not providing a nice windsshield option for this motorcycle! It is just a SHAME especially if it is a frame mountied headlight and dash they missed a golden opportunity to sell more bikes to people like me that really want some windprotection in addition to everything else the machine has to offer! See Yamaha DID provide easy windscreen mounting for the MT10 so I guess I have to buy that bike since I am not interested in riding an ADV or full on sportbike with wristkiller ergos. BMW S1000R apparently does NOT have frame mounted headlight meaning a windscreen is like attaching a wind sail to the handlebars....Uhhh NO which is sad because that bike has EVERYTHING else one could want! Has any aftermarket company developed a decent windscreen for the RS? (little flyscreens dont count) I just want a 1000 naked I can do everything on without it looking like an ADV bike or weighing 500 llbs. The BMW and Triumph are pretty light the Yamaha not so much but at least I can make it work
