Triumph Speed 900 on Portugal's Route 66!

Join me on a ride from Faro in Portugal, up through some fantastic twisties in to the hills of the Alentejo region. However, things don't always go according to plan!

[@blueyondermoto]

Yes I was absolutely gutted to not be able to complete the ride.

Sorry to hear you become ill on that ride and I hope you’re back to normal now. That looked like an interesting route though if you go again might I suggest altering the camera height as the tank bag dominated the view somewhat. 👍

It slipped Nick. Quite a bit of footage unusable unfortunately.

@@blueyondermoto isn’t always the case and we can’t review the footage till it’s too late. 👍

Hey Alan, I'll try the N2 myself some day! I only know this road when i'm going from the A22 towards Faro, but the part you took is way more interesting. Hope you fully recovered btw. One road I would like to try some day is the N255 and pass the dam near Algueva. And if you like vinyards, the Alentejo region has plenty of them! Today I sat for the first time on the '97 fireblade that I maybe will buy and I must say the position wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. As I hadn't been on a bike for 32 years, I realize after riding a bit on the bike I need some lessons....😮. But what a great bike, it sure increases the adrenaline 😊. Cheers!

The section of the N2 I rode was just brilliant

Hey Alan, I enjoyed the video and I am glad you recovered well. You touched briefly on the similarities and differences with your V7...any chance you fancy doing a comparison video?

[@blueyondermoto]

I'd love to, unfortunately I don't have the V7 anymore as I traded it when I bought the Trident 660. Both bikes are very good in different ways. The Triumph is typically Triumph. It feels well put together and well balanced and easy to handle. Definitely slicker in every respect than the Guzzi. However, not everybody wants that. The Guzzi is a smile machine and encourages laid back riding.

[@healthwellnessforlife9054]

Thank you Alan, much appreciated. All my research suggests exactly that. Thank you and ride safe.
