Triumph Speed Triple RS Spain & Update!!

[@jasongibbons6836]

Nice one fella, good to see you back!!

[@TommyBarnezTV]

Cheers buddy! Getting the channel back up and running is one of the focuses this year so more to come. Aim is to get it to one video a week. Routine seems to be the big thing to make it happen. How are you guys doing?

Thanks for taking us with you on that ride, which was a great antidote to the grey wet weather we’re having in the South East of England today. Good to have you back and I like the idea of you doing some vlogging.

[@TommyBarnezTV]

Glad you enjoyed, uploading it has made me want to get out to Spain again. Very rainy and grey today. Will get into the routine of 10 minute vlogs. Maybe 1 a week just chatting around stuff on my mind and bike stuff. Will still do bike reviews too though they are trickier with organising. Thanks for sticking with channel 😀

A little tip for you, if you want to get used to the bike, while riding fast on demanding (fun) roads stick it in rain mode. Restricts the power to a 100 bhp. It’s a nice way to get up to speed and it’s plenty, but more control.

[@TommyBarnezTV]

Cheers, yeah I sometimes do that with bikes a bit. With the speedy it's the leaning over which just doesn't feel right for the last inch of the tyre. New tyres will change the bike quite a lot I think. Watching the vid back yesterday while I was editing footage made me think the street triple would have probably been more fun for those roads. The speedy is great, but with so much power you're not pushing the bike. Will try dropping to 100bhp to see how it goes.

Hi mate. Great vid, reminds me of why, I have kept my speedy for 6 years. I can highly recommend pilot road 6,s. They gave me far more confidence than the Pirelli Diablo 3’s. They also last considerably longer. Regarding the QS, triumph do an upgrade, if you tell the you have a problem, or did.

[@TommyBarnezTV]

Cheers buddy! Glad you enjoyed, bit if a long waffling one from me 😂 it's a great bike, really love it. Thank rp6s will be the way forward come spring time. Have you had any problems with gearbox or quick shifter following the triumph mod they do?

[@benkelly2190]

@@TommyBarnezTV no, my QS was fine, I heard there was a problem, but I told triumph mine was dodgy and they fitted something, or other. No problems in 20k miles , at all. It’s a great bike and never had any issues.

nice vedio, is it better to buy a new streert triple? then a 2nd hand speed triple,

[@TommyBarnezTV]

Depends. I've got some reviews of the street triple 765 on my channel and it's an awesome bike. Personally I think the street is well suited to shorter rides. Eg this ride I did in the video would be great on the street. However it was a long trip to get down to Spain from UK where I'm based so wanted something with some more power and things like cruise control. I went with the 2018 version of the speed as I love the look of the twin exhaust compared to the new speed 1200. There's good bargains second hand also, just need to be comfortable assessing a bike. I'd say ride them both and see which one fits. Both outstanding bikes.

[@petroosabdollahian1648]

@@TommyBarnezTV thank you for your message and shared information, agree, both bikes are amazing, but isn't it wise to ride a touring or adventure bike for long trips?

[@TommyBarnezTV]

@petroosabdollahian1648 depends on outlook. I have a 650cc adventure bike, but prefer the speedy for the tour. Solo tour so not a lot of luggage. During good weather so not too much a concern about weather protection. Endurance on the speedy is 6-8 hours comfortably so works fine for me. I wouldnt worry about following set rules with regards to touring bikes, just make it work with the bike you like.
