Track Day on the Triumph Speed Twin with the GoPro Hero 10

[@TheMcCoon]

Nice to see a Speed Twin on the track!

[@mymotosai5036]

Thanks, it was a blast! When I think I'm done with the track, a week later I want to go back.

[@duanedragon2]

On the street the Speed Twin gives up nothing to sportbikes below 100mph.

[@mymotosai5036]

And the Speed Twin is more fun to ride on the twisty roads with that 1200 cc twin talking to you everytime you roll on the throttle 😁

@@mymotosai5036 Amen.

[@jsveiga]

Let us hear the sweet twin only, not that music!

[@mymotosai5036]

I have other vids with raw sound only if you only want to hear the bike. kzbin.info/www/bejne/amW4g5uFiNh0mtE

[@vincentcriscuola1477]

Nice job. I’m taking my identical bike to the track this summer. It’s a hilly, tight, mountain course. So maybe it’ll shine with low speed torque out of the turns.

[@mymotosai5036]

Enjoy, you'll have a blast Ride it to the redline!

[@davidfoster9890]

Well done fella

[@mymotosai5036]

Thanks, one for the memory books!

[@helmutweikert3054]

I love mine, but I replaced that stupid fake gas cap. My other bike is a 2007 BMW R1200GS.

[@mymotosai5036]

Ya, that gas cap is annoying at first. I guess I'm used to it now because I don't really notice all the steps it takes to remove the gas cap.

[@helmutweikert3054]

@@mymotosai5036 Actually, I always felt like I was going to break the thing.

[@mymotosai5036]

@@helmutweikert3054 I've got 38,000 km on the bike and gas cap still holding up. A couple other parts have broke though due to poor manufacturing by Triumph like my left heel plate and instrument gauge cover.

[@VanBlamm]

Nice work out there! What would you say was this bike's limiting factor? It handles itself well on the street, but I bet it felt a bit heavy in those S-turns.

[@mymotosai5036]

Thanks. It handled ok on the track and s-turns. Felt pretty planted considering the crap suspension. The limiting factor for me was hitting the redline so quick so having to always gear up or back off to the next corner. I didn't want to ride the bike too hard but hit redline even in 5th gear on the finish stretch. Whereas the sport bikes thrive in the higher revs and could fly around the track in 2nd and 3rd. I had MT09 before and was a few seconds faster on that around the track.

Awesome ✊🥂✊

Thanks, you were flying out there!

[@scottstewart5784]

lose the tunes, at least for parts, so we can hear the engines

[@mymotosai5036]

I'll revisit the raw files and see if there's a couple laps where the engine sounds come through without too much wind noise and post a raw sound vid 👍

Damn what is that seat?

Crafton Atelier greaser. Much more comfortable than stock

Thanks! 😃

[@STIjojoSTI]

Im considering this bike vs a Stteet triple RS. What can you say about it? Powerwise is there a big difference? Will not use on track road only. Can it hang with the RS?

[@mymotosai5036]

Big difference. Rode both and Street triple much better performance in every respect. Very different bikes but the Speed Twin shines in character, looks and enjoyment out of its 1200cc engine everytime you roll on the throttle.

[@mociczyczki]

765 stret triple rs is 130 hp 190 kg vs speed twin 1200 is 100 hp 220 kg how do ypu think ? 😉👍🏻

[@dalecolegrove6652]

Did they have all skill levels on the track at the same time?

[@mymotosai5036]

Ya, it's crazy. Once you pay for the day you can come on and off the track anytime you want.

[@dalecolegrove6652]

@@mymotosai5036 The amount of riding you could get in is nice but it makes for some crazy speed differences it looks like.

[@mymotosai5036]

@@dalecolegrove6652 ya a couple times I got passed like I was standing still by the track bikes. Thankfully it's not usually this busy so can time it to only have a few other riders on the track at the same time.

How do you find the gopro so far?

[@mymotosai5036]

I'm impressed with the quality of the Gopro. The stabilisation works great for a smooth video on the motorbike.
