Triumph Speed Twin Owner Likes, Dislikes & Mods

[@DavidSmith-ve5kj]

In addressing your fuel range issue, I noticed you fill it up while sitting on your scooter. I increased my range on my t120 by putting the side stand down leaning the bike to the left the fill cap is on the right of center. This gives you more fuel intake than filling it standing straight up.

Twenty years of experience, but doesn't wear gloves and can't tell the difference between a parallel twin and a V-twin! 😆

[@mowtown75]

A bit harsh, he does know the difference, I would ask, how does anyone buy a new bike and not know what the engine config is? Especially if u acknowledge it’s a bit pricey. Gloves comment, yes agree, no excuse. Nice review, thank you as I am doing my research.

[@pjansen2010]

Was thinking exactly the same!

[@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeen]

I was thinking the exact same thing. How do you not know what you are riding from the sound it makes? You can look at the bike and clearly see it's a parallel twin.

[@Lucas-ie2ti]

Great review bud! But please wear some gear. Those shorts ain't cutting it haha

[@Dansk55]

67 holy crap. What's been your favorite?

[@alex-su81]

Very curious to know more about the heat issue. Specifically because I currently own KTM 1290SAS and the sole reason I'm ditching it is the heat. Not just radiating heat towards the legs - I can tolerate that even during hot summer days. But the seat itself gets really hot. REALLY. HOT. A crotch roaster. Does it feel similar on SpeedTwin? Or not that much. Thank you.

Paid $14,1 out the door for a '22 in Storm Grey which is the only color that comes with matching sidecovers for the extra $200. 28 mods to date.The best way to bring temps down is a decat. These bikes are short geared for acceleration, going to a 17 tooth front sprocket will keep rpms down and improve fuel mileage. I'm doing the DNK Tuneworks ECU flash next. The throttle response above 5000rpm is being governed by the weak factory ECU tune for euro5 emissions.

60 ODD BIKES AND RIDING IN SHORTS TSHIRT AND NO GLOVES ! WHY HAVE YOU GOT A HELMET😂

[@droakclinic]

Of all bike videos I’ve watched, I really like your camera view. May I ask what camera do you use, how many are there, and where do you put them?

[@mowtown75]

That’s interesting because as a viewer it was what I enjoyed least. Really liked the drone or whatever it was but not the curve. Was there a setting that I had to do to enjoy it.

[@toradog5719]

Good, honest review. I don't like the position of the kickstand. It comes up right between the peg and the shifter. I also don't like the fact that you can't add coolant without taking the sprocket cover off. It doesn't have a filler neck sticking out like the one on the T120.

[@Jagshemasher]

Very good review - direct and to the point

[@SquireSCA]

Get TuneECU and modify the ETV3 tables. These new bikes are restricted in the ride by wire tables. You twist the throttle to 100%, and it only delivers 91% power, and from 6,000rpm it cuts it back to 82%. Peak Power is at 7250rpm on the 2021+ model, and that with you only getting 81%... There is power just sitting there, waiting to be unlocked with an ECU flash... I have some videos showing how on my channel.

[@raykim4228]

Exactly same with my Speedtwin! Agree with your like and dont likes! one of my likes would be soft and light clutch lever which I changed to tecbikeparts lever 👍🏻

[@francophoto219]

I feel the clutch lever is perfect. Thanks for watching

[@DavidSmith-ve5kj]

No Self canceling turn signals is my only dislike.

[@shaun8306]

My MPG is much better, like 170 to the tank ….. not sure why USA & Uk gallons are different. Great video by the way.

[@shawnjoseph7522]

i went to the dealer today and that was the exact price they quoted...

[@athomanrestaurantroyapuram]

Can u tell me about the pillion comfort for a 1000kms ride

[@droakclinic]

I recently switch from Triumph Trident 660 to Speed Twin. My wife said that the seat is easier to get on and more comfortable on this bike.

[@SquireSCA]

Good review, but dude... you have owned 67 motorcycles, but you can't afford gear? Tshirt and shorts and tennis sneakers? lol Come on bro, if you have been riding that long and have that much experience, then you must have hit the ground at least once... Crashing sucks, and crashing without gear sucks even more... Most folks don't need to learn that lesson more than once... haha

[@francophoto219]

I have hit the ground twice but nothing major. I only put on gear for long rides. This was around the town bs. Even on long rides I sometimes don’t put gear on.

[@SquireSCA]

@@francophoto219 Yikes. I had this discussion with a good friend a few weeks ago, and he had he same mentality about wearing gear. Less than 48 hours later, he went sliding down the interstate at 70mph in a tshirt and jeans. Needless to say, his views have changed a bit... haha kzbin.info/www/bejne/m567YqOLgq1rh7M

[@pontypete7357]

Hi Nice Video, but if you where in England dressed or should I say undressed, bikers would shiver with the no protection you have in clothing? If you came off even though you say your an experienced rider, some idiot in a car knocks you off you would be shredded, have you seen a person with chunks of meat taken out of them I have! Put some biking protection on save the nurses and doctors there time and work !!! Have nice day Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheMickvee]

So. You've had over 60 bikes, but don't know the difference between a v twin and a parallel twin? Really? Oh, wear some gear.

[@caponebr]

V-Twin, Parallel twin, you believe, could be wrong, whatever this is… first bike review I watch where the owner seems to have no clue or care. Lost interest…

[@johntherevvelator8783]

He’s clueless
