2019 Triumph Speed Twin Review 

The filler is offset so that when the bike is on the side stand, the filler is the highest point and the tank can be filled to the maximum.

The best looking Triumph they have brought out for years.

Not sucking up to you or anything, I thought it was a clear informative review mate, with good camera shots as well. I have now subscribed. I agree that setting off and riding in sport mode around town can feel on/off but it isn't the fuelling it is the big twin engine with the 270 degree crankshaft, but as you say putting it in another mode really tames the engine. I am amazed that my bike is managing 60mpg especially with the way I am riding it quite enthusiastically, I'm off round Spain on it in a few weeks and I recon it will return even more to the gallon.

Thanks for sharing your review. I’ve done 900kms on my speed twin. Took some time to get used to the side stand. I’ve also had some issues with the front brake squealing, plenty of brake dust build up which needs to be cleaned out regularly. Tip: when cruising around town keep it in ‘Rain’ mode, much more comfortable.

re fuel filler position, I would have though the reason would be the spine of the frame passes through the centre of the tank and you would not get the fuel nozzle in that far .

A good accurate review Richard-I've done 1k on mine now since getting it in March. My own thoughts/adds-things that would improve it: a centre stand would've been good (like the Street Twin), adjustable rear suspension too (similar to the Thruxton)-and that beautiful rear mudguard-it really needs a hugger (if you want to go out in the rain-as the mudguard doesn't stop anything at all-although a work around I've discovered is to take Wifey, and then my back remains clean). Otherwise, a lovely machine-much fun, more torque than almost anyone needs. Does what it says on the tin-a modern retro-not for everyone, but great for me (as a second bike-kept the GS for commuting and touring 2-up). Agree on the side-stand position too-have to think about it too much/doesn't work easily without a boot with a heel.

Nice review mate, that centre stand is nuts! When I pulled over the first time and tried to put it down I spent at least 2 minutes trying to find it, thought it must have fallen off 😂

when the bike is tipped over on stand at fueling station the gas cap will be at 12:00 thus assisting no drip fill...enjoy that gorgeous machine!

very good review, you found the same negative points, front brakes were exactly the same on the bike I rode.. Thruxton superb in comparison

Good review sir.... just collected mine today ..... my poor old bonnie se has px’d ..... this is just wee bit higher for me ..... regards Fred

Nice review! You said this would be in your top 3. What are the others then?

I test rode both this and the Scrambler XE from A1 Moto last weekend (4th May). Liked the Scrambler slightly more than the Speed Twin personally, but it was very close... The Speed Twin would make more sense as I don’t ride off road really, but the Scrambler, with all the extra toys; heated grips, cruise control etc. was amazing... Which one would you have out of the two?

nice honest review.

Great looking bike badly spoiled by those discoloured down pipes which make it look distinctly second hand.

Where did this dude get the west side gangsta beat. Hahahaha

Copying classic triumphs with seam up middle and filler to side possibly better for filling to brim like peter says

High Power engine...

Because it looks nice? Otherwise an OCD designer would have 2 front reservoirs! Lol

Is this one made in uk or in one of the foreign factories?

you sound like Michel Owen the ex footballer

I'm convinced now that I don't like the look. Tank is too bulky and the seat too think. The horizontal tank strip doesn't worth either. Probably fix it with a thicker seat and repainted tank.
