NEW Speed Triple 1200 RS | Best Handling Naked EVER!!

[@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

Thank god someone’s riding it with the suspension adjusted for a normal road ride where it will spend 99% of its time. It never fails to amaze me the amount of people complaining about adjustable suspension then never bothering to adjust it. Nice one ☝️

[@oddjobtriumph1635]

saved me writing the same thing .....

[@tracer1127]

Definitely right there buddy, drives me nuts when so called pro road testers say the suspension is stiff. It’s Ohlins for Christ sake , it’s top end stuff and designed to be adjusted to suite. I also wish pro riders stop telling us about its failings on a track as most people buy a road bike to ride on the road. Who cares if the brakes fade a little after braking from 150mph after 5 flat out track laps. It’s not a Moto GP bike it’s a road bike. Also who cares about doing wheelies, if you get caught on the road doing them you are in for a ban. It’s an awesome bike I’m sure I’d love one.

[@stonesie81]

Out of that list the MT-10 got the nod from me, I had one and really regret trading it for a KTM 1290, KTM electronics are finicky at best, the S1000R was too clinical (Fast, accurate, smooth but left me cold) although the new version is supposed to be way more fun, Speed Triple and Tuono just crippled me.

A slight dig at some of the early reviews: so if you adjust the adjustable suspension, it makes a difference? Who'd have thought ...

[@ridepastu1418]

Suspension is everything. Ask an R3

[@tracer1127]

I agree, some of the bigger magazine type testers complained that it was stiff suspension. It’s fully adjustable and top draw stuff as road bikes go. Surely a pro magazine rider can tweak the suspension to suit, makes you wonder for sure. Most riders don’t need to keep dicking about with the suspension once it’s set up anyway. It’s great to see Lamb Chops do a review because he is so enthusiastic.

[@boonstick]

Great review as ever chops!! I was almost put off buying one when the initial reviews came out but decided to go with it and exactly the same as you, it didn't set my world on fire but the more I rode it the more I feel in love. Easily the best bike I've ever owned and I'm so happy I stuck with my decision. I'm off to get the first service done this weekend and I can't wait to get out on it. So much better that the previous model! Bring on the road trips and track days!!!

I tested a ‘23 demo bike a couple of weeks ago, it’s the best bike I’ve ridden. The electronics aren’t an issue for me - and it was easy peasy to get neutral. I tested a SDR a few weeks before - also a great bike. But for me and my riding, the Triple just does it for me. If I can get the £numbers that work, I’ll have one. I know I’d seen this before, but search for it knowing you’re my most trusted reviewer Chopsy 👍

Just ridden Super Duke R and Speed Triple RS either side of lunch..... ST feels faster (!), more stable, but SD more exciting. Both amazingly useable...anyone would be happy with either. Rode the S1000R yesterday too. If you can only have one bike the S1000R is the one to have, it just does everything so well.

Blimey, you Britts really know how to make a cracken motorcycle. Those bikes are sexy and responsive. Triples are the way to go. That is why the Japanese are trying to jump on the bandwagon. They see the potential in the Triples. Keep up the good work. Love your video vlogs. Very exciting to watch and hear. We KZbinrs like to hear the bike in all it’s glory. And your riding comments just makes it complete.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

To be fair, a triple isn't anything new with Japan. While triples really have some unique character, torque production, etc. they aren't as sublimely smooth as an inline-4. Triples have the imbalance issues called "rocking-couple" and it's felt in most of them. It's a course feeling tingle that comes through all contact points. Some fours have a terrible vibration issue too, but there are a few standouts that are absolutely butter. Fours can be very torquey but they have to be built and tuned for that purpose.

[@ronybrunswijk8640]

Best practical and real life review on KZbin. Better than MCN and PS1000. Got mine last Thursday! Almost after break in period. Cheers!

[@ronybrunswijk8640]

@Shalin I never rode the street. The bike I had before was a 1050 rs. Great bike but problems with QS or TSA. 2 weeks ago my new 1200 rs was at the dealers. Broken thermostat. I can only say the 1200 rs more agile than the 1050 rs and worse in the longer bends.

[@semajohn]

You would think with the amount of keyless cars being stolen. Bikes wouldn't go the same way. The stupidest keyless are the semi keyless. Ignition is keyless but you need to get the fob/key out for petrol and removing the seat. I really don't understand the enthusiasm for keyless vehicles. Is it because we are getting lazy and the effort of getting keys out is just to much for some or am I just old? Nice review 👍

[@gabrieltiso8537]

Something tells me it's an economic decision. It's probably becoming cheaper to manufacturer keyless than have a quality lock tumbler. Also you'll probably need to get new keys programmed at some point in the future which is more revenue for the dealer

Thanks for the verdict (and settings info) on the suspension end of things. The electronics UI/UX is the exact same as the street triple, which to me is a bit lazy. You're right, they did miss a bit of a trick with wheelie control being mated to TC. But triumph do make great complete bikes. I ride a 2019 765rs and I love that bike more everyday.

Great review & a lovely bike. Not aimed at you at all Chops as I know you're not complaining, but I've never understood why testers & reviewers moan about fully adjustable suspension.....& then make no attempt to change it. By all means say it's too hard or soft from the factory but then surely you need to see if the suspension is good enough to dial out whatever is considered to be the issue. It's just frustrating & lazy imo.

Completely agree. There was a time when testers would adjust the suspension to suit them but nowadays they don't seem to bother. Lazy or what.

[@xorbe2]

If the gas tank won't open, it's in the manual ... there is a wrench behind the cover over the overflow tank, and you pop out the 6 bolts in an emergency, if the tank really won't open. For the track, you can use the standard non-smart key, it's much smaller. You have to hold the key to the sensor located on the right side sort of between the rear seat and pillion seat at the plastic to start the bike. Technically you could leave the key at the paddock after starting the bike ...

[@S1000xrhp]

Good information but does all this represent an improvement over the use of a key? No, it's just technological overreach, an unnecessary over-complication of style over function. Make it a no cost option and see how few would choose it. Make it a £500 cost option and I guess the number would be zero. And yet triumph want £200 for a screen fairing option that simply finishes off the bike and should be standard. Yet triumph say they've listened closely to their customer feedback?

[@xorbe2]

@@S1000xrhp In the UK bike theft at stops are a thing. The thieves grab the key from the ignition and run off. The rider stands the bike and chases the guy with the key. The other thieves push the bike away. Now they have the key and the bike. With smart-key keyless, the bike is useless once turned off. This is what they are fighting. Thieves are opportunistic and also allergic to risk as we all are, and having to physically fight someone for a key in a pocket will lower thefts at stops.

I took mine straight to KAIS Suspension near Manchester and they set mine up... Compression was maxed out on the rear fresh out the box from Triumph and the front was wound right off...! Youd think they would set the suspension up neutral or even offer a set up service to tailor the bike to the new customer. I agree with you the suspension is on the firm side but its immense.... Compared to my old 1050R (2017) which hadnt been set up its night and day.... So much more confidence and my tyres reflected that... great video as always LCR...

Great stuff as usual, what a fabulous thing.

Is it a DIY adjustment like on a mountain bike , or is it a trip to Triumph to adjust it ??

The adjustments themselves are relatively easy to make but the theory behind it can get complicated. Depends a lot on your weight, riding style and the type of riding you do. Loads of info around the subject in numerous forums and vids on here but as a first shot probably best to go with someone experienced in the subject.

Thank you for a great review. I own a Streetfighter V4S and I find it a bit to difficult to live with on a day to day basis. It is like sitting on top of a stove in slow traffic and it consumes fuel like a car (07.2 litres/100km). You are saying that you can get 120-130 miles on a tank, is that until you are entirely out of gas, or until the refuel-light turns on? I get around 150km (90 miles) on the V4S until the refuel light goes on.

I have 2021 1200 rs speedy got it 1500 kms ago. I have exactly the same fuel consumption. Around 7.2 as well per 100kms. In traffic it is scorching hot as well. My temp indicator has crawled up to 9/10 Bars. Usually normal temps for it on the same chart is 7/10.. so it's basically the same thing as your v4s you're describing. They are pushing every bit of power from this engine, so it's going to be a thirsty hot stove.

Hey Chopsy love the channel. Well after watching countless hours on about 4 different bikes on my short list I finally decided on the Speed triple in orange color. It’s beautiful! I’m coming off an 890 duke r which was actually perfect so I was hesitant but wanted something bigger, a little heavier, and still comfortable. One of the things people kept saying was how comfortable the Speed is. To my surprise as soon as I put my feet up on the pegs I knew that was not going to be comfy for the long run. The pegs on the Speed are way up high. I’m 6’2 225lbs and I know you’re a big guy. Did you think the pegs were in a good position. I’ve ordered some lowering pegs but wanted your opinion on the peg location. Thanks.

great video it's getting crowded with all the super nakeds comming out with that being said will europe get the new honda 1300 naked ??? i've seen the videos from south east asia and japan....it looks pretty nice .............

[@ThePaultandy]

Very impressed with the speed probably my next bike… full throttle in 1st 🤣🤣🤣if i did that on my gen 1 Zx10r 🚑🚑🚑🏥🏥🏥

[@KellyDayAdventures]

Did you ever ride the 1050 Speed Triple? I had a 2006 S3 and the reviews for it constantly used the word hooligan for all the right reasons! The short wheelbase and low down torque made for a wheelie machine that was all day comfortable but always ready for a track day. Is the new 1200 engine still torque in the low end like the old 1050? Is it still a hooligan machine or have they made it into a high revving sport bike?

[@markellison4875]

Real world review as always. To be honest all the super nakeds are brill, it comes down to personal choice. For me, i won't be swapping my SDR gen 3 anytime soon.

[@karlosh9286]

Great video. There's one big problem with this bike for me, I spent too much money last year on a 1050cc Speed Triple RS, and I can't afford or justify swapping it in for one of these !

[@pcarts232]

Yes …. Yes you can 🤣🤣👌🏽

[@pcarts232]

It’s not really a bike problem it’s a “ you “ problem 😂!

@@pcarts232 Yeah, I get it , I need to earn more cash ! 😀

[@pcarts232]

@@karlosh9286 lol 😂 it’s a great bike but to be honest if I were you you should try the Street Triple Rs too I think it’s much more practical than the Speed Triple

[@karlosh9286]

@@pcarts232 Yeah, the 765s are good. They're a lot more "flickable" than the 1050 speed. I've still not had a go on a 1200 speed. It'd probably be too quick for me, but I do need to have a go on one :-D

[@paulwatson5843]

Doing a bit shopping for a new supernaked coming off the old SDR 1290. I wonder if you still rate this big eyes beut ! SDR electrical problems sending me over the edge 😂

[@therealslimgamey1]

Wow what a bike. Steering damper is a must. Front lifting over small humps on acceleration is asking for a tank slapper. Feels a bit dangerous to me not to have one.

[@Bow-to-the-absurd]

It's fun!

Yes it could do with one..

Love your posts, always done with humour. Please please make some more enduro vids, they are hilarious...

I don't like the keyless ignition other then that incredible motorcycle from triumph again , nice work Chops .

[@hyperthunk]

My concern with this bike is the same as my concern with the Tuono - every time you really stretch its legs you're risking your licence! Now I definitely plan to own a Tuono, because that is - imho - the best soundtrack in motorcycling. Triple is the second best noice for me, but I wonder if the previous gen 1050 is a better shout for the road, because you can actually make use of the power more often? The Tuono I reckon I'd take on track quite a bit just to actually be able to enjoy it properly.

[@pcarts232]

That’s a really good point, you have to be so careful ❗️ with the Speed and I’ve owned mine since April and I’ll be honest it’s actually a shame that such an amazing machine has to be ridden so nervously everywhere because of speed cameras everywhere,

[@pcarts232]

My mate got done last week for doing 23Mph in a 20 Mph Zone! When I ride the Speed Triple in 20 mph Zones I think it actually tries to stall ! 🤣it’s basically saying “ oi I’m a 180 bhp 1200ccc bike wtf are we doing “ haha 😂

[@hisaanhaq4116]

Typing just as vid started as im interested in a super naked soon too im a similar height and weight to urself curious to see which u prefer this, tuono or sdr

[@garrytab4362]

A quick question.As you’ve ridden the 1200 rs.What would you recommend if you put it up against the 2019 rs.Bearing in mind I like a little play,but not absolutely hooliganism.Many thanks choppsy.Keep up the brilliant reviews.

[@chrisvantassel8867]

I sat on a new Tuono a few days ago and could not believe how tiny the bike was, I hear this bike is also small, is it as small as the Tuono?

[@rhyseee7721]

Thanks again for another great video Mate…. How Many years are you going to not buy a Tuono Though!!!???? Also doing My best to help you with your subscriber goal!!! Thanks Mate.

My new 1999 triumph sprint I've notice same goes 1st to 2nd before neutral.

[@lukedudley5030]

So this handles better than a naked mv augusta f4? That is a surprise considering how well that entire range of bikes handles....anything that can keep with a gxsr 750 which is the baseline must be pretty amazing...makes me question :-)

[@jonascallant9061]

Nice review Chopsy. Which area of the UK is this filmed? Seems like some nice roads! Own a 2021 striple R, absolutely in love with it. Cheers!

Excellent video. Great bike , phenomenal machine, in a Sea of launches in 2021 , this has gone under radar, but its right up there with the BEST. ABSOLUTE HOOLIGAN. Bit too pricy in some countries.

I think Chopsie is in love ❤️ with the Speed. I had an '07 1050 (from Destination Triumph) what a bike that was, this one could tempt me back.
