Triumph Speed Triple RR Review

[@richardoldfield4067]

I have a white RR - love riding it!! Smooth, fast, easy to ride, beautiful to look at, & at 56yrs & 5'11" I find it comfy. I ride it in sport mode with the suspension set in Comfort. Its a stunning bike all round!!

[@simotofoto]

Cheers Richard, you are 100% right with your mode and suspension selection, the comfort suspension is epic paired with the exciting throttle option it suits the more mature gents like myself lol, thanks for sharing bro cheers. Si

[@johnlyle7625]

Simon you sold me that exact bike today lol 😅 can't wait to pick it up next week , it looks utterly stunning and the performance is fantastic 😊 i think people need to have a test ride on it because i think the riding position is getting unfair reviews because it is not uncomfortable . Superb bike i could have spent all day on it ❤

[@simotofoto]

Awesome John what a bike you've bought its an absolute belter, white is defo the colour for it too the pearlescent finish is outstanding. See you when you come to get it :)

[@speedtriprr537]

Had mine a year now and love it so much. I have a panigale v2 in order to go with it. Will never get rid of this bike.

[@simotofoto]

Its a keeper for sure

[@ederjesus4292]

How they compare? What do you fell more power?

[@debenhamdave4314]

I was recently down my local Triumph dealer to check out the new Street RS, and viewed the Speed RR and was blown away by the look and quality components and finish. Hopefully test riding soon and if its not too much on wrists as some suggest could well be my next bike, Cheers Si.

[@daveo9844]

I believe there’s too much weight on the wrists unfortunately.

[@debenhamdave4314]

@@daveo9844 thanks you may well be right as many have said so, definitely a test ride and that being the case the RS as alternative.

[@simotofoto]

Cheers Dave I hope you get on with it, it is a terrific bike to ride :)

[@debenhamdave4314]

@@simotofoto thanks Si, I hope so.

[@PeteBKK1]

@@daveo9844 I test rode both the RR and the RS a couple of days ago. The RS was a more flickable bike, and was much more comfortable in traffic at a slower pace. If you are mostly on beautiful twisty roads like Si, the RR is amazing though 😅

Great review Simon 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks Mark

[@andrewrestrick5596]

Great review dude 💪🏼

[@simotofoto]

Thanks for watching Andrew and thanks for the kind comment

[@twistandgo3414]

Another nice little review! i think, the looks of the front fairing are subjective for sure, but it’s certainly no MV Superveloce. without doubt at just over 12k,it’s a bit of a bargain given the spec, buying approved used low mileage with this one, is the way to go! Have to agree, crystal white would be my choice too! 👌🏻😎👍🏻

[@simotofoto]

Thanks 🙏🏻 mate Crystal White is definitely my fave 🤘🏼

[@gary9069]

Great section of road you picked today, love the Crow Road. ❤

[@simotofoto]

Cheers Gary, yeah love the Crow Road just wish it was longer ✌🏻

[@gary9069]

@@simotofoto Definitely not long enough for a Speed Triple RR 🤣. You were up the initial climb to the car park and I think I'd blinked 4 times.

Lovely views and great details about bike in detail

[@simotofoto]

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed, yeah I am so lucky living up here the views are off the scale everywhere:)

[@jean-philippemougin7047]

I love your Scottish accent ! Great review. Mine will come soon.

[@simotofoto]

Awesome! Thank you! hope you enjoy the bike when you get it :)

[@wolfpackpete6408]

Sounds like with this triple not aiming for maximum top-end power, it's like an older superbike. Something like the 02/03 R1, which had a flatter torque curve. The superbikes today are much more peaky and track focused. Most owners won't be getting the good of their modern superbikes on the road. This having that flatter torque curve by being a triple along with over 20 years engineering advancements... I think it will feel more like a hugely improved older superbike than one of the track focused models today. And that's a good thing!

[@simotofoto]

Do you not what you have absolutely nailed it with this comment dude :)

[@grahamblair3363]

Nice wee bike, great review. 🤟🏼

[@simotofoto]

Thanks Graham was just great to get out in the sunshine ☀️ 😎

[@simbarnes9093]

Another good review. I like your delivery and detail. I had a good look round an RR this week. Love the looks. I’m a bit worried about too much weight on my wrists though. Are there any bar riser kits available that you know of?

[@simotofoto]

Thanks Sim, not that Triumph do however there may be aftermarket kits

[@simbarnes9093]

@@simotofoto Thought I’d let you know - I bought one and I found an excellent after market bar riser kit. It has completely transformed the wrist comfort and also improves the handling. I’m 400 miles in and absolutely loving the bike. Still need to get up and ride these roads. Maybe next year.

[@simotofoto]

@@simbarnes9093 awesome dude what colour did u go for?

[@simbarnes9093]

@@simotofoto red. I liked both but my dealer had an amazing deal. It was under £13K for a brand new unregistered bike. They only had 1 at the price so I pulled the trigger.

[@approach11]

Nice review, thanks, detailed and informative without being anal. I’ve paid a deposit and hopefully picking a new red one up next week, have a 2024 Fireblade SP to go with it, hoping this should feel relaxed and comfortable in comparison. I’m 55 and clinging on to my sports bikes with my finger nails, love them too much to let go just yet.

[@simotofoto]

Nice one you are going to love it :)

[@stewy62]

Another very enjoyable ride and review and you are certainly doing your bit attempting to sell this hard to fault bike. Personally I like the looks but it seems that UK sales figures have been disappointing (?) and dealers in my area are flogging low mileage demo bikes at ridiculously low prices. For all your sensible logic it seems that most sport bike riders would prefer 200hp to more torque?

[@simotofoto]

Cheers Stewy, the bikes are now getting a lot more interest than they have previously, I don't think the 200bhp guys are who Triumph are building these bikes for, however I do think there are riders out there who will appreciate this bike for what it is.

[@stesh101]

Seem good value. Especially as you can get them for about £13500

[@trevorphillips3055]

I don't think mcn has done this bike any favours, following Michael Neeves' long-term review. I personally love the look, but not sure I could put up with the riding position now I'm getting on a bit 😊.

[@simotofoto]

Cheers Trevor

[@wolkanthon]

truımph saıd tht its a road sports bike is it comfortble enough for 300 km trips ?

[@simotofoto]

Once your body got used to the more focused riding position I would say yes, have done many 300 km road trips on my S1000 RR and this is no less comfortable imo.

[@wolkanthon]

@@simotofoto for example I had 2022 suzuki 1000 gt and ı had back pain on long tours but I have 2023 yamaha xsr900 and over 650 km ı have no pain but I’m not sure about 1200 rr I hope ı can travel between cities with it without pain

[@sergeantwombat]

Shes a gorgeous bike! shame it costs so much

[@mrstatictunes]

That's what I thought but because people aren't buying them they are selling for 16000 USD new right now. Thats a great deal for what you get.
