The Speed Triple 1200 RS is a Track Weapon

Agreed

That is a Superleggera V4 with the full race kit! And you were catching him at every turn. Great riding man

[@mrmcbeth]

It's refreshing to see someone on KZbin riding on of these hard on track. I want to get a Street Triple soon and do some track days.

Awesome man, amazing bikes. There's a '22 RSV4 Factory with gold wheels at AF1, and I was drooling all over it last time I visited.

[@daveb6345]

Smashing that thing out mate. Dead set, that late braking is epic! You certainly ride the ass out of what ever you own! Simply awesome to watch. Love the commentary on this one. Lets us mere mortals understand as to what you are doing. Thanks 😉

Thanks Dave!

[@jimnorton2570]

Truly impressive, buttery smooth making it look easy.

[@SebF423]

I was on the superduke! Next time I’m gonna try and keep up with you man! I was able to squeeze out a 2:28.2 by the end of the day so I don’t think I can but I’d still be a fun time!

[@CubanRider]

Bro you were flying in some areas. I have to find it, but there was a section I was trying to reel you in and couldn't. Really, the extra couple seconds I have on you is in on the brakes, I'm pretty mild when it comes to lean angles.

Just beautiful and satisfying to watch

[@vtranmoto]

Dude I’m so looking forward to riding with you one day! I did the Aprilia day in April but we only had about 3 sessions for the day, literally the final 3 sessions were red flagged. Would appreciate a tow and learning from you!

Absolutely, we definitely need to link up; just gotta be careful, I might drool all over your bikes!

Brilliant comments and information...really enjoyable 👍

[@TheSuperpod]

Awesome riding. My Pani V4S with R fairings was doing 193 GPS in T12 for comparison . Your braking is spot on. Most people leave a ton of time in that phase and for me it was always the easiest place to find time.

[@TheSuperpod]

Sorry, 186-187 mph Solo DL2. Got my numbers confused. 193 on the dash.

Thanks Michael. The stylema stuff is phenomenal.

took my street triple 675 for my first track this last year, Honestly amazed at how hard I could push the bike and it didnt care.

looks like you got the "naked bike award" once again! LoL!

[@MrMotorider100]

I have been waiting for your ST1200 track video, thanks brother and your commentary and pace/flow were exceptional GRACIAS! For sure, proper pitting out signaling procedure is super important and its easy to cause an accident when done improperly (Thanks for addressing it). I did my first track day on the ST1200 last week and I was delightfully surprised how competent it was and the brakes were perhaps some of the best I have experienced. I found the rearsets woefully low and the grip on the pegs were very poor in my opinion. Have you performed any modifications to the rear sets and/or pegs? What ECU upgrade did you do and do you think it was worth it? Is it still the stock exhaust? Lastly, did you run slicks? Sorry for so many questions and my apologies if you addressed the ECU before. Cheers and hope to see more videos.

[@CubanRider]

Thanks for the comments man. I'm used to the lower pegs on the S1000XR, so they're not an issue for me. Might start dragging as I become more confident with the lean angles. The ECM is the stock file, just with the limiter removed. I removed the muffler portion of the exhaust for this track day since it's really heavy, but it still sounds mild with the catalytic. Tires are Michelin Cup 2 which are pretty amazing. Got another track day in a couple of days, looking to get faster on it 🤙

[@MrMotorider100]

Haha, two things are certain climate change and you will get faster 🤙cojelo suave and thanks for the information. Oh, I am ordering the RR brackets it is supposed to raise it 1 inch and it’s about $160 all in and I may pair it up with a universal peg from California Superbike. ✌️

I love triples so damn much Ive owned 2 mt09's I really wanna try this bike 177hp with a triple sounds like a lot of fun

[@RadDadisRad]

Triumph needs to give the 1200 RR the RS treatment. I really like the Ohlins 2.0 ECS shocks.

[@bluerider1]

I love your riding style and conservativeness behaviours 😃

[@pistolpete6321]

Great video!

[@CubanRider]

Thanks Pete!

[@jeffmccollum3769]

I remember after you bought your RS you were ready to get rid of it, especially when some of the parts vibrated lose and almost fell off. I wish I would have kept mine. The RR is not as much fun.

[@CubanRider]

Jeff I was very disappointed, let it sit in the garage for a long time, but now everything is fixed and so far it's riding great (fingers crossed). Why don't you like the RR?

[@jeffmccollum3769]

it's a tough riding position when your 66, I might go back and trade for another RS

[@HASANERKANANLAR]

Good riding. What type of tires do you have for the track? I just bought a Speed Triple RS last week by the way. Planning for track days. Any other recommendations? Thanks

[@CubanRider]

Hasan I'm running the Michelin Cup 2 tire, highly recommended. I also put SBS 901RST brake pads, and those are pretty amazing.

[@HASANERKANANLAR]

@@CubanRider Thanks a lot. Enjoy 👍

[@newtype101]

Hei Mr Cuban, are you also using Power Cup 2 on the Speed Triple? Which one is actually faster compared to your S1000XR???

[@CubanRider]

Yes, Cup 2s, amazing tire. I put both fast laps side by side (on Facebook) and the XR came thru just fractions of a second quicker, but that's only because I slowed down significantly on some of the last turns with the Speed Triple. The rest of the lap the Speedy was pulling ahead; it's faster for sure I just need some clear track to get better times.

[@Supernova12034]

The guy dragging his elbow got his photo and wanted to exit 🤣

[@eljosicoderamos4038]

Buenas noches, tengo una s1000xr y planeo cambiar por Triumph speed triple rs o rr. Hay mucha diferencia en circuito frente a la bmw? Un saludo desde España

[@lateralus9244]

What do you think would be better for just street riding, the new 765 Street Triple or the 1200 RS Speed Triple? I've ridden the Street Triple on a test ride before and, OMG, was it ever buttery smooth, and very very quick. The 1200 RS I haven't ridden yet but I would sure like too, if given the chance.

[@paduloso]

Beautiful riding, which tires are you using?

[@CubanRider]

Michelin Cup 2s 💪

[@bernhtp]

What were your lap times like, especially relative to the XR? The Speed Triple has about 15 mph on the top end relative to the XR, though your RR and Ducati superbike buddies have at least another 15 mph.

[@CubanRider]

Tom I put them side by side on best laps, and the Speed was about .3 seconds off. I have the video up on the CR Facebook page. The Speed Triple was ahead by about half a second but I lost a ton of time on 16-18, focusing too much on my BP and not carrying enough speed.

[@jacksteel7296]

Bravo!

[@sugarrfree]

Love the new speed triple, looks amazing, soung amazing plenty of power ✊🏻 i would buy this bike over any naked that is on the market right now easy

Very insightfull video it was so nice to watch, what tires are you running in that wet session? Subscribed and waiting for new awesome content 🤘🤘

[@CubanRider]

Thanks Demetre. I was running Michelin Power Cup 2, so on the wet track I had to ride very carefully, not a lot of traction with those tires.

[@can_luigi]

Hey Cuban, excellent stuff again! I wonder how you removed the speed and throttle limitors as my RR and buddies RS are both limited to 162mph. 🤦‍♂️

[@CubanRider]

Email [e-mail], he's the developer of TuneECU. He can get it removed for a small fee. Just need a Bluetooth dongle and get the software.

[@Peter-Parkey]

Tuneecu dude.

The 1200 engine is very nice got the tiger1200 i know its not quite the same but still get that good mid range feel

A lot, like Brendan said, around $500 on average. 😕 But I live so close that I save on a lot of other things so I can afford doing these.

[@Vincenzo911]

This is not a "track weapon" ... You just go so low in rpm on many spots that you enjoy that bike being a beginner bike with midrange torque 😅

[@CubanRider]

What part was I going low RPM?

[@Vincenzo911]

​​​@@CubanRiderin every single braking Area you were mid range RPM , that's good for that bike, but that wouldn't work on a ZX10r or a CBR 1000 RR-R for example.... That bike is easy to squeeze 80-90% of the performance out of it , which is perfect on the roads. On the track I would prefer a sportier engine , something that's asking for a redline and more involvement for driving fast...but that's just my opinion and personal taste 🙏

[@CubanRider]

​@@Vincenzo911 I hear you. This engine has a great torque band, it can pull out of corners one gear higher than I would normally use on the S1000XR. I still need to downshift to 2nd for turn 8 though, it can help me slingshot out of turn 9 a lot better. Oh well.
