Sir You EFFING NAILED IT!!! I happen to own the Thruxton R with the Cafe Racer fairing. I ordered my Tiger 1200 GT Explorer back in March. I visited my dealer weekly to check on any info when it would arrive. Every time I was there, the speed triple was right in front of me. It grew on me to the point that I had to have it! My Thruxton is a 20'th century cafe racer. My speed Triple RR is a 21'st century Cafe racer. Evolution at it's finest! Both bikes reside in my living room when they are not being ridden. Works of Art!! I could sit and stare at them all day... Great video and Thank You for your realization! Ride SAFE and BE safe Sir! 🙌👏👏👏👏👏👍🖖✌👌🤙👋🙂🙂

[@craigjackson732]

Good, balanced review. I bought an RR a few months ago now without even sitting on one and it’s just had its first service. Downsides: the standard can is too quiet and doesn’t do the bike justice; it’s windy over 60mph; I do a lot of motorway riding ( I commute on the RR) and it’s quite fatiguing. I have a double bubble on order I’m hoping will help. Like all of these bikes, it’s a nightmare to keep clean! Other than that , I love it. It makes a twisty stretch of road a thing of joy and beauty. The riding position won’t be for some .. but I came from a committed full tuck sports bike .. so find the RR luxurious in comparison. If you’re thinking of one, ask Triumph for an extended test ride before laying down your moolah (or not) and make your decision based on that.

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

Hi, how was the wind with the double bubble screen please? And which brand is it? To help keep a bike clean, spray it with silicone (keep away from the brakes) and wipe off - it’s simple and reduces cleaning.

[@falcodog2917]

So a double bubble works pretty well on the RR. I have a Puig for my bike. It takes the air off of your chest during normal riding and makes a difference at high speeds because you can tuck in under it. I use my RR as a canyon bike so it's not that relevant for me and so I put the stock screen back on. But yeah, it works fine. @@jamesdonoghue5907

[@apexslider1]

The looks of that bike are really growing on me. And that triple sound doesn’t disappoint either. Another solid review in the books.

[@jedblavla5206]

[@pistolpete6321]

Brilliant review! Stunning looking motorcycle!

[@KevincoZ]

I got this bike 1 month ago and i think they nailed it. The power, the handling the comfort. I really think it's one of the best sportbike for the road. Of course the electronics could've been better. I think they made a better job with that on my 1050RS. My only real downside with this bike is the Quickshifter that stops working when the bike gets too hot. Apart from that, I'm 5'7 and the position is spot on perfect for me to enjoy it on the road and to rip it on the track!

[@can_luigi]

Great review as always Chopsy. I, as a proud owner of my Speed Triple RR definitely love it the more I ride it. Yes the screen annoys me a lot too, and despite the bloody restrictions of the electronics even limiting the top speed to 260kmh I still enjoy every second of riding it. Bu the way finding the neutral becomes easier after a few thousand kms. My shifter became more responsive after around 2000kms of riding.

Thanks Dot appreciated buddy 👍

[@ttrguy9952]

You said one thing near the end of your video about the height of the bars. The RR has genuine straight clip on's. When I bought the Fairing for my Thruxton R from Triumph it came with lower handlebar mounts than the stock Thruxton bar mounts. I didn't use them with the fairing and kept the stock mounts on. I am going to try and see if they will work on my RR. The lower ones still have a 1 and a half inch rise to them and would be perfect as you mentioned. BRILLIANT and thanks for that! It got me thinking of a use for them. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

As usual, chops, another great video. Had my Speed Triple 1200 RR for about 7/8 weeks now and covered 2100miles. One big trip to wales and a track day and overall I love the bike. Had the RS before which I also loved but the RR seemed to address all the slight issues I had with the RS so had to swap. Like you say though, I would have like them to fit the electronic suspension on the RS as well 👍🏼 Keep the vids coming mate, can't wait for a garage tour 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great review Chopsy Such a nice bike . I would love to see a compo from the old 2003 Daytona to the modern one but there is hardly anything on the older models after 2002 on YT. I'm thinking about making a vid on mine before its to late. Cheers from NZ

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

At 6'5" I am far too big for the Triumph RR. I sat on one at the MCN show. I would love to ride a Triumph any Triumph but my local dealer refused to let me out on one. Brilliant as always no stone left unturned!

The bike looks gorgeous and pulls away very smoothly. I still only lust after a Superduke though

I hope Triumph do a slightly revised version of the RR, it's very close to being exceptional, it's already very good. Good review as always Chopsy 👍

[@paulvanhout9695]

Some interesting insights Chopsy! Appears the RR is a few tweaks away from being a bit easier to live with and still retain the sporty character. An option for bar risers and clean up the electronics, etc.

[@stevebeevers9981]

Cracking review to be honest. Has anyone ever said you sound like Julian Ryder? I've listened to him for years and i think that's why i probably liked you straight away! I've been looking and reading about this bike for a while now and absolutely fell in love with the way it looks as I'm a big lover of the cafe racer look and Triumphs, I am also 6'2 and its interesting to hear that you find it comfortable so that's also a plus for me too. thanks again Steve

One of the best looking bikes out right now. I took it out since I am looking right now but I’m 6’4” and with my proportions my knees are above the ridges on the tank. I couldn’t squeeze the tank very well and it was uncomfortable after a little while. Plus without full connection to the tank i didn’t feel like I could push it. Still looking for a sporty bike that’s not a full on sports bike. The tuono is in the lead right now Good review of this bike

I need a 765 version of this bike with bars above the yoke similar to the Ducati Supersport S / RS660. No need to semi active suspension but I do want cruise control. It's a very pretty bike.

I put a deposit on the RR yesterday gone for the storm grey , I've had 1 on loan for a week while my bike had warranty work & I've fell in love with it ! Mcn didn't really have anything good to say about this bike but every other review says its great , I know it's compromised but it's so cool to look at & it rides amazing , can't wait 😍

[@LambChopRides]

Yes I was very surprised by MCN review, think they were actually really harsh which isn't normally like them! I think the bike could have been perfect if only an inch higher in the bars. Think it was frustration more than anything that it could have been perfect

[@neilbenton1152]

Got to be honest I'm 59 & I think it's going to hard work but sometimes you have to put up with a bit of discomfort in the slow stuff but it definitely gets better with some speed !

[@ragerider6283]

Great comprehensive review. I think it's a lovely bike but I also think Triumph have got it a bit wrong & I'm not sure how many people will actually buy one. It seems stuck in the middle to me & totally agree the clips on should be above the yoke. There's also no excuse for the sub-par dash & interface really. Although all easy fixes if Triumph so chooses.

[@martinp1539]

it was sold out within weeks at my local dealers so i think theyre doing damn well. especially for their retro loving audience. Its not for kawa riders who dont know anything without double headlights can look amazing. Its inbetween for a reason. Its for the younger audience with triumph dads like me

700 miles into ownership of my STR RR, 55 years, 90kg, 5'11" & I find it comfy, no issues at all. I'm addicted to riding it. I also have a 22 Tuono V4 & I've hardly touched it since getting the RR. As you say very easy & satisfying to ride. I find the suspension in Sport is too hard for the roads I ride but keeping in Sport & setting the Suspension to comfort seams the best for me. Such a beautiful bike to ride & even just look at. Influencer?? - I bought the PowerBronze Double Bubble screen after seeing one on your initial RR ride. Thanks for the video - something for me to do while I sit here with Covid looking at the sunny day & my RR. ☹

I have a few thousand miles on my RR and I still can't wait to ride it. I use mine to rail in the canyons. Not the hills with twisty bits you see in the videos people post. But ya know, real mountains with canyons. :) The RR is amazing when you push it hard. I also had a Tuono V4 Factory and the RR is, IMO, a better bike. Hope you get better soon.

@@stevenwalk8564 hi mate, what are the main things that you enjoy better than the tuono? Thanks

[@stevenwalk8564]

@@nickloborec1416 I like that it feels smaller, lighter, and more compact than the Tuono. Probably because it is. The RR feels to me like a more modern design. The RR has better turn in and transitions in the canyons where I ride and it is rock solid on the side of the tire. It's simply easier for me to ride it fast and I have more fun on it. I also find the RR way more comfortable but I grew up on sport bikes so your results might vary. They are both very fast, entertaining, excellent bikes but the RR fits me and my style of riding better.

Hi Chopsy, I loved the review of the RR. I think (unlike a lot of other reviews) you really get what Triumph are trying to achieve with this bike. BTW, how did you attach your phone to the top yoke?

[@pclark6068]

Just bought one from a local triumph dealer… changed from a 1050RS..your review seems more balanced than another channel I could mention. I agree the pegs are different to a sportsbike and I actually feel more comfortable with them then I did on my RS… the bars are low but part of me wanted a sportsbike experience again without a full on race rep and this fits the bill.. I personally think it’s looks amazing especially the carbon fibre all over the bike. I thought I had made a bit of an error with the comfort when I first started riding it especially on a commute but I now realise it’s something I need to get used to again. Power and handling are definitely the plus points and the noise of course !! Neutral is deffo a problem and can be irritating after a long ride, the dash is also a bit laggy, I wonder if this is something triumph could look to fix with a firmware upgrade!! Great video and review.

[@neilbenton1152]

Neutral is better from 2nd I find !

May be like the Kawasaki z900RS Cafe (the one with clipons and fairing, not the naked one) That would be a bike I'd compare it with. looks wise, reminds me a bit of the MV Agusta Superveloce retro looking thing, but that is a smaller displacement (almost half) sports bike. But this bike is on its own category? The Old Jixers may be like it, but not sure about the newer ones. Gorgeous on that red scheme. Triump does have good paints.

[@brianglendenning1632]

Interesting your slightly different view to Neevesy, where he was less positive but shared your issue (to a greater extent than you) about the wristiness of the RR. May be because you and he are differently shaped, and the greater height might make the RR more tolerable than for a slightly shorter chap. That was a nice review - thanks

[@TheOriginalCoda]

I was quite interested in the bike, but Neevsy said he wouldn't buy one or recommend it. I don't like nanny electronics either, but we are Brits, this is the nanny state. If anyone has gone overboard with it, it's us.

De-nanny the electronics, Triumph. Listen to Chopsy!!!

[@Lar308]

Because I had a 2017 Triumph T120 and a 2016 Thruxton R (non faired) I found that the two bikes were just too similar and the Thruxton is the better of the two so I decided to trade in my T120 for this speed triple RR. When I saw one in the showroom though I was a little underwhelmed. Its such a petite bike - beautiful but petite just like the standard speed triple RS and so I thought it lacked enough street presence. In the end I went for a new Panigale V2 Troy Bayliss edition and think I made the right decision.

[@LambChopRides]

[@anthonytempongko1291]

You raised a very good question/point, In this day and age (competition amongst manufacturers is really getting stiff/challenging plus the addition of euro 5 emissions and it seems as it had influenced manufacturers to come up with these style/type of bikes) in my opinion, ideology or perception of riding motorcycle somehow look like it has deviated of its coarse hence the 50/50 split opinion/s. It’s a tough market that you and I play in unfortunately hehehe,I’m from Toronto, Canada and I personally own a 2022 triumph speed triple 1200 RR (colour red), and i do agree as aforementioned by the reviewer…. I look at this bike like a politician, you get blinded by its looks and makes you think that it has all the answers for everything … but it does not, though it’s in my top-5-bikes.

I’d probably still buy it but not to feast my eyes. I do get why some like its looks though. It’s almost there…

Yep, those clip-ons are too low. I’ve sat on the RR at my dealer several times wanting to like the riding position but I always come away with the same thought “why couldn’t they be just a couple inches higher”. I’ve even contemplated the idea of cutting into the fairing to make room for higher clip-ons. Such a gorgeous bike, but that supersport riding position is enough to keep me away. Still searching for the perfect bike myself…

Made the decision after 6 months that mine had to go. Bars too low although legroom is fine. Your neck is just cricked back too far. Gearchange is very very stiff & nigh on impossible to get in to neutral & a dash that is still waking up after you have started etc plus a few software & electronic glitches. Amazing in small doses but they have made a bike for rich people in there 50s like me who are over the cramped sports bike riding position but give the bike an identical riding position, we will never know that their thinking was. Check out Neevesys latest long term review, exactly the same opinion as me. Alas i think Triumph have got it wrong & these will start piling up on showroom floors. Beautiful looks though.

[@pabloblascocarrascosa5425]

Exactly, right now there's just a red one in my city with -2000€ in the showroom. Everyone pick photos but nobody buy it

[@BorisKarloff66]

I think we need an ST version but without all the TFT stuff, and more basic electronic stuff

That is why I have the S1000XR, what have you decided on as a relacement?

I had a similar experience when testing the Speed triple 1200. Hard suspension and stiff gearbox. Had to go electric now as Paris has stopped petrol bikes parking anywhere! But have to say that I love my Zero FXE and is way faster than a stree triple up to 60!

Thank goodness your review is much more balanced than another another YT channel I could mention. That review was utter sh1t and I won’t be wasting my time with their videos any more. Brilliant review Chopsy for restoring my belief in reviewers. Yes I don’t agree with any reviews that are ‘Everything is brilliant’ or ‘Everything is terrible’. Wonderful video sir!

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Mike 👍

While learning to drive a car in the '70's my driving instructor (a lady... (Val ...🙂)....pretty rare back then) would nag me something rotten if I held onto the gearstick longer than necessary. She said "if anything happens while you only have one hand on the wheel, I can guarantee that you'll have wished you had had two" Even now, as soon as I engage the 'cruise control' thingybob on the bike to take a breather, ('clip on' style bars) she's sat on my shoulder nagging....🤣 (She was IAM Instuctor)

[@karleignr]

This or the S1000R? Also, which would you rather tour on?

[@richbrett7268]

Yes im in tbe same dilemma- what did you go for and why? I took a s1000r out came very close to putting in an over on it as i literally sat on the fence. Then more recently remembered this 1200rr. Due a test ride later on the 1200rr in January- looking forward to it. Ive had mv f3 800- like the triple. Bmw - very smooth easy to ride but not very engaging unless in the last 40% of its rev range. Brillant bike but too polished??

[@Throttle.Monkey]

Just done 1500miles around Scotland on my S1000RR, used cruise control a lot and it helped keep my wrists feeling fresh. Without it I’m sure my riding would of been worse with aching sore wrists. It’s something I’d hope the police would take into account, providing your not waving your hands like a twat haha.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes exactly, you can also steer with your body so it's not the same as a car

[@Crimson_Strider]

Would you compare it to the katana? The only difference is katana handle bars.

[@LambChopRides]

Um I would say Katana is a bit more of a naked

[@stephenchapman8344]

Nice bike. I just don’t like the way the front looks. BTW the difference between unlawful and illegal…………….unlawful is against the law and illegal is a sick bird !

[@jamest5149]

The problem Triumph have, is they designed the bike with a cafe racer look, the bikini fairing will not allow for a higher bar position without cutting away most of the plastic and shape or making it much more bulbous. Its surprising for anyone who hasn’t tried fitting higher bars to a bike how difficult it is to get the bars to fit and clear everything.

[@kevinedwards4253]

Yes it's elegal both hands off bars I think its careless riding

[@John900C]

I believe that would constitute "riding without due care and attention" so yes, it is illeagle for a rider not to be in control of the machine.

[@veedubgeezer]

I want to like the new sponsors as their idea is a good (if not great) one, but their KZbin channel is still showing a video from 2016 "reviewing" £20 Aldi motorcycle boots as sturdy, when they look like they'll shred at the first sign of some asphalt. Maybe have a word and get them to update their socials?
