New 2025 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 & RS Announced!

[@williamfischer3990]

Nothing Triumph will ever do will replace the Thruxton. It is the most beautiful modern retro that will ever exist.

[@RenatoPinheiro22]

I totally agree .... including the absurd replacement of the dual aluminium clocks on the previous gen by this HORRIBLE PLASTIC dial from basics T`s .... jesus .... I loved the bikes but hated the new clocks .. not even on the RS We´ve got better clocks .. I own a T120 and for me the dual clocks are awsome. ....

[@UncleWally3]

Aesthetically you’re right; functionally it’s an odd beast. I love riding it, for an hour or two. Even with aftermarket ergonomic adjustments it’s still a sport bike . . . without the high performance.

[@williamfischer3990]

@@RenatoPinheiro22 The dual clocks make the bike. I own a Moto Guzzi V7 ii and it has the dual clocks but for the iii they went to one single clock. It just ruined the look of the dash.

That thing is an abomination and looks cheap as Fook.. You cannot have a retro bike without dual sweeping dials.

[@soggywuffles882]

The fact that I can get a 765rs, Z900rs SE, MT-10, XSR900 etc for $2-5k less than the 1200rs makes it a really tough sell especially without the iconic dual clocks.

[@Irfan87]

Absolutely beautiful paintjobs. But why why why did they remove analogue clocks? They were fine as is, they fit perfectly with the RETRO design as a whole. Keep the clocks but maintain a screen for the other stuff, there is ZERO reason to turn the speed and odometer fully digital ffs. There's a reason Moto Guzzi owners love everything about their V7s cept for the stupid digital dash. Its always like this with industries, some stupid company does this, every other company follows not realizing it is NOT what the buyers want. More tech isnt always better or more "advanced".

[@rroberts60]

Adding an IMU, new shocks, and a few HP doesn't quite offset the plastic fenders, lower spec brakes, and dash straight from the 660 bikes. And certainly not at a higher price. I'm glad they made the RS finally and it looks great, but they made the base model less competitive in its segment. Also no dual clocks is a deal breaker. I've never been happier to have my 2020 model!

[@christianmrkhansen9991]

Disappointed with the updates. The RS is too sporty and the base bike has too many corners cut. The engine update is not necessary. And the dash really is a step in the wrong direction. I am soo happy I got the real one which I ride on a Sunday blast, commuting, multi-day touring and two-up riding.

[@aidencoder]

Yeah I wonder if the compromises will please nobody and the sales will drop. The base model doesn't seem like good value anymore, and the RS ... well, who wants an RS without dual clocks?

[@chrismeyler]

I'll be keeping my 2020 with twin clocks, aluminum fenders, brembos, nicer headlight, and hand painted pinstripes.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

agree; going backwards; Stay NON sporty. Whats the point ?

[@aidencoder]

Well I was going to get one for my next bike ... but dropping the dual analogue-ish clocks was a big mistake. Best off buying a previous gen 1200 and popping some better rear shocks on. Triumph ... what are you doing?

[@Paul-er6yf]

As a current 2023 owner I wouldn't trade to the new version. The single clock dash is a deal breaker for me, ruins the retro theme.

[@iNFiN3]

Same, super bummed with it, they could have went the Z900RS route and sandwich a TFT inebtween 2 analogue gauges, or simply put in 2 round TFTs in a nice aluminum housing, make them look like retro gauges even tho fully digitial and it would have been 10000000000x better than this budget bike screen they put on, trully dissapointing, honestly kills the bike for me, because the cockpit is the one thing you constantly interract with while riding, and now you have to look at something a tiger 660 also has.

So - take £2K worth of spec off the previous Speed Twin and up the price £500. Keep the same spec and up the price £2.5K, all whilst losing some of the character that attracted buyers in the first place, like traditional twin clocks. A spec’ed up RS will be nudging £16K. Madness! I expect a rush of current model sales.

[@duncancleverley6366]

I have to say the replacement of the twin analogue clocks with a TFT is a deal breaker.. it’s not for me.

Triumph at it again differentiating models by making one less than it was before like in the scrambler 1200. Add new dash, cornering traction control, remove brakes, and quality finishes

[@grahamnelson5376]

It might have been acceptable if they had reduced the price, but the new base model is £500 more than the outgoing model, while losing the gorgeous analog dash, and the Brembo M50s. I see no reason to buy the new base model over finding a new-old-stock 22-24 model

I was hoping they wouldn't, but Triumph did anyway-one large clock on a Speed Twin, and not only that, it's off the Trident 660! It completely spoils the looks of a modern classic, surely they must have looked at the Z900RS? And, what have they done to the tank! I was looking forward to the Speed Twin 1200 update, and the RS version, but sadly, both are off my next bike list. I'm sure the engine is still great, but for me, the updated Speed Twin 1200 has lost something in the looks department. It just doesn't look as purposeful, or as muscular, as previous models. The MT-09 SP is my favourite at the moment, it's a lot cheaper, and has a better electronics package.

[@FunWithAJ]

Shame the loss of the twin clocks and that odd proportioned headlight seems very poor. Theyve made it more modern than classic. I predict these wont sell to well. Not many want a Modern only bike from triumph. They can just go for a street triple etc.

[@thecappy]

I have a ‘19 that I turned into an RS lite. Tuned, de-cat, ohlins rear and Nitron fork cartridges. I was intrigued by the 22-24 model for the usd forks and brakes but, was holding out for the true RS. Might just keep the ‘19 and upgrade to the forks and clamps from 22-24.

[@Nathan-hu5zd]

Triumph need to stop plastering capacity and model designation in huge font on the tank. A small Speed Twin 1200 badge on the sidecovers, and a Triumph badge on the tank works best for modern retro. Triumph have also stylised the plastic dummy "carburettors and air filters" one step too far, now achieving the cluttered silver plastic look that let down the first R NineT. BMW just cleaned up the side styling on the new R12 NineT, but Triumph hasn't learned from BMW's 10 year old styling gaffe. And the cheap Trident display is simply horrendous.

[@luisribeiro4267]

Brother, You know I’m a confessed TRIUMPH fan boy, No doubt there… So I didn’t expect to say this, but I actually feel they got these ones wrong; Think they are diverting from the right parh.

For me as a ST 2021 owner the biggest mistake with this new model are the clocks, that Trident clock is good for the Trident but not for a premium bike like the ST 1200. 5bhp not enough for me to upgrade and I already have the Ohlins rear shocks which I added.

Personally think the first edition (modern) speed twins look the best. Like others have said i think the digital clock wasn't a great move, those analogue clocks looked the business. The RS is going in to bat against the XSR900, which is tough competition

[@Neil_Llewellyn]

I have a 2020 speed twin and agree with you. The speed twins that came after this model are watered down even though there is a little more HP. I dislike the styling of the exhaust, looks budget with the black end cap. I'll be keeping what I have for a while.

[@aidencoder]

Who wants their ST1200 to compete against the XSR900? The 1200 is an attractive proposition in all the ways it WASNT the XSR.

[@mikesmouse7779]

Absolutely. The Gen1's look great, everything after including this looks worse and for no real world gain. The only argument is that the RS has fully adjustable suspension front and back, but it still looks crap.

[@sigberetta72]

Man! I don’t see a single positive post about the loss of analog clocks. Do they do any focus groups? Apparently not! Triumph is going the way of KTM, it seems ,and just trying to piss customers off. To each his own…. But I think they should have left the dual gauges, leave the tank alone, leave the paint jobs alone, left the M50 brakes on the standard version, left the increase in HP and spent the money elsewhere. I do like the lean sensitivity ABS and traction control and Stylema brakes. Don’t know about the pegs and handlebars changing to more aggressive position? Might be uncomfortable. I did think the tires will be great. But, in the end, a 2024 and older would be better for me !

[@alfredkhoo1353]

Triumph really missed the mark here, people get a triumph for that retro styling with a modern performance, but the new digital dash and some sci-fi looking parts around the bike, not to mention the unnecessary increased in price ,shows just how detached Triumph is with their fans.

[@nathansatran2507]

I was bummed when I heard that they were coming out with updated Speed twins this year because I purchased a new one in February.

I have a 23 Speed in orange and I was (well my wallet was ) getting worried that the new one would temp me away from what was going to be a keeper. No worries anymore. To me, they have ruined it.

The Speed Twin 1200 has been on my target radar for quite some time. Now I have to remove it as a potential purchase. - The Dash is unacceptable for a top retro bike. - The Headlamp is not fitting with the rest of the bike. Too small , too modern ,too flat. It' s like a copy of the xsr headlamp - The tank is too modern - The downgrade in breaks and other details should compensate for the better rear suspension so that the price should stays the same instead of rising. - Engine upgrades are unnecessary. It should be the main difference between the basic and the RS model - "...Modern Geometry..." on a Retro Motorcycle ?? Are they serious. And what was wrong with the geometry on the previous models to begin with? - And how about these side panels? If you look only at these panels, you'd think they come from a streetfighter bike rather than a retro one. Completely disappointed, turning now to Kawa who knows how a proper retro should be

[@VanBlamm]

Once again a mix of welcome and unwelcome updates. The paint jobs, suspension, expanded ergonomic options from the factory, and cornering ABS are big wins. The brakes, price, and especially the dash, are misses. I hate that Triumph are foisting this split TFT unit on us with every model update. The added power, updated design, cruise control, and RS-only quickshifter are fine but unnecessary. Great video as always, Rob! Can't wait for more Full Tank.

[@LunadaBayRider]

I can't believe they got rid of the dual clocks! Deal breaker for me. They pulled the clock from the Trident, a much cheaper bike. I have gone back and forth between this and the T120. This made the decision for me.

Oh dear, what have Triumph done! they use cheaper parts on the base model ,yet charge more. The RS gets a cheap dash from the 660. and they want that much for it. They are having a laugh. The 1200 graphic on the tank is so cheap and tacky. The RS in orange is ok but the white and black band at the bottom of the tank cheapens the look. For 14.5 k I would expect nothing less than Ohlins front forks.I was genuinely considering buying the new 1200 RS but not anymore. They can forget it.

This video is on point as expected. Keep up the good work! My Street Triple is an incredible machine but I’ve always found it a bit too serious. The Speed Twin had seemed like an interesting proposition because I’ve always preferred its look over the Thruxton (controversial, I know). I want something truly top shelf and great looking and loads of character but not 200hp and a $20k price. With the introduction of the RS it has moved to the top of the list. I think Triumph hit a home run here.

Great vid & a very interesting bike. I'd definitely consider one for a next bike. The RS is a little pricey but it's still very nice. The new clock is nice in itself but I 100% prefer the previous double clock arrangement. Would also want a top fairing option like on the Thruxton.

Definitely taking the two specs in opposite directions now. Std model for the chilled out rider enjoying the views, rs model for the sporty rider enjoying the roads.

11:49 still a prototype, with 3D printed body of the instrument :) ( c'mon.. smooth it down with some sandpaper..) :D

Very helpful. But what’s surprising is that your triumph dealer hasn’t been able to resolve it given the fault code. Essentially keep swapping parts out parts till they get a result; notwithstanding past experiences. Stay safe. 👍

Why do "marketing teams" not pay attention to customers? Please do this survey so we can ignore anything you input. The only thing the old bike needed was cruise-control. Does the new model have it? I thought I saw a shot of the cruise icon on the new dash. However, you would think if Triumph FINALLY added cruise, he would have said something.

Not digging this update. The base version is too basic. No quickshifter is a dealbreaker. The RS is too sporty and probably will also be too expensive. Of course it's good for business to push people to the more expensive, higher margin bike, but as a customer, I'm not liking this.

Bring the clocks back. Total own goal.

oh wow that's crazy about the new IMU system!!! So I ended up buying the new XSR900 because it had all the tech and the heritage styling, it had smoother power delivery than the Triumphs I rode and the Z900RS I rode. So it feels like Triumph sees they have to pick it up and have brought this to the table. Well I don't like the triumph markup on price but I can appreciate the spec list. I think styling could be slightly better still but now I want to ride one and compare.

Just like new scrambler 1200 they are downgrading items going backwards

They finally gave it an Ohlins? Had a 2020 and thought that’s all it needed. Well done!
