Sorry about the wind noise and rustly leaves. It's just that time of year...

I just purchased a 2020 Speed Twin and look forward to adding some of the mods you have on your bike! Thank you!

Hey man! I really appreciate the content regarding the Speedy. There’s very little Speedy specific quality videos out there, besides for the reviews and some others here and there. Keep it up!

Really tasteful customization. The spray wrap is epic and with the yellow shocks, V&H pipes and fly screen it looks very clean and upgraded.

The modded bike looks fantastic. Lots of good usable info. good job Bob.

Bike looks great like the colour. The polished exhausts and silencers and the black air intakes make big difference for the better. Enjoyed the rustly leaves too.

I wish I have one - with or without mods. Thanks for the video guys!

Another informative video. Thanks MotoBob and congrats on upcoming baby #2!

Triumph make great bikes.

Beautiful bike! I love all the mods! gives me ideas when I get my speed twin!

Love what you've done with the bike. All mods are tasty! Well done boy. Cheers from Poland

IMO stock looks better, just needs a tail tidy. But well. beauty is subjective. :)

Big difference in looks. , worth the change. 👍🏼

These are both beautiful, I can't wait to pick mine up next month.

That wrap is a stunning job, love to see how its applied.

The blacked out area around the remaining brushed alloy circular piece where the fuel injection is is inspired. Nice.

Installing the full front Ohlins forks from a used Daytona 675R the Speed Twin will look awesome and will handle beautifuly.

that v&h looks dope with full chrome

Great informative video. Thanks much.

Great video! I got my T120 in 2018 and I got it for it's a modern bike with classic personality. I was kicking myself when the Speed Twin came out a year later. Secretly waiting for Speed Twin bits to hit the parts market (rims, swingarm, brakes and rotors) . My T120's stock suspension wasn't stellar. Upgraded to Progressive shocks. I put the Tec Rebel 2-1 on my T120, damn good exhaust for the money. Cheers!

Beautiful bike, good taste.

Great mods. Looks superb

Awesome looking bike 👍🏻

That sounds badass guys!!!

Smashing out the videos bud. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

both bikes look fantastic

Now all it needs is a nice big top box!

Great video even greater beards😂 didn’t know Tom Sykes was a triumph fan lol.

If you have one of these, the tail tidy is well worth purchasing. Tec, do excellent parts and this is easy to fit. Not only does it look better imo, but part of the problem with the stock is that you get a lot of crap thrown up your back in bad weather as the rear guard is so short. This doesn’t fix that entirely, but it does make it a lot better.

Excellent video. Headlight bezel is an improvement. The Vance and Hines do look a lot better than the stock pipes, with the decat they sound a lot better. That was a good noise comparison. Not sure my neighbours would approve :) I personally prefer the factory red and black colour scheme, which I've got . Plus I like to be seen. Top tip on not putting a cover on it whilst still warm. I might have done that had you not said. Usually my one goes straight into my bike shed. TEC also do some wilder camshafts for the Thruxton 1200, don't seem to be listing them for the Speed Twin 1200. I thought the engines were pretty similar, they might fit ! Personally I don't need anymore power , just yet... ;) . Also it was hard enough getting insurance as a newbie without performance parts .

Nice review as always Bob :))

Looks gorgeous and interesting.

IMHO it looks great

I was in Jack Lilley at Shepperton last week and they are building a Speed Twin with Thruxton R spoked wheels … It looked the dog's danglies 👍

I had the pleasure of test riding the Speed Twin the other day. Tons of fun but I actually prefer the Bonne T120 seat for comfort. I would personally start with a slightly used 2016 Thruxton R, throw the Bonne seat and straight bars on it. The Speed Twin was a fun off-the-showroom-floor package but I still prefer the suspension setup of the Thruxton R with ergonomics from the Bonneville T120.

I fitted tec piggy back shocks on my Triumph, they lasted 11 months, as I initially bought them 14 months before, (sorned it), they didnt want to know, both shocks lost most of their pressure, one to 3llb and the other spewed oil and fucked me pressure gauge I have owned for 10 years, I now have YSS nitro shocks, no complaints at all with these.

Man, those pipes. I’d like mine to look like that. 👌

Great video!!

Beautiful bike

I ve enjoyed the video......and i love Triumph bikes……..Rowan make a very nice bike, may i ll only add the exaust bendage on the pipes. Thanks MOTOBOB

Awesome custom job that really brings out the speed twin and makes up for the stock deficiencies. How do you maintain stability when accelerating and braking hard? The only answer I've found on the speed twin is to hang on harder.

I love how RU-vid's automatic subtitle function puts "music" as the subtitle right at the moment the machine runs and those vance and hines pipes can be heard.

9:49 Ohlins , I also scored from Ebay . __ Open box, unused for a Thruxton. __$ 600 USD.__The stock shocks wallowed a bit in the corners, like a waterbed. __ Ohlins a lot better. __Forks had too much sag , about 50 mm. __I made some 15 mm thick. spacers . which helped the front. __I may put some slightly heavier fork fluid , later on.

Brilliant 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💯🇮🇹

I saw a vid that showed the stock cartridge and springs in the front forks. Pretty shockingly bad and the worst thing about the handling of the bike. I get that the rear shocks have been changed for the blingy Ohlins. The forks, by all accounts, are a far more urgent thing to upgrade. But then, there's no hipster bling involved.

Awesome Bike 😎🤗

If Triumph weren’t so hard to get where I live in the USA I would absolutely be riding them instead of Harley Davidson. They make the absolute best looking bikes in the world, IMO.

I put the dart fly screen on my sportster.

My Speed twin mods. Tail tidy, front and rear Ohlins, thruxton fly screen, black gauges, motone decat, and gp style slip ons. Edit: and rizoma I-club front and rear.

Very nice video keep up the good work. The only issue I have on my speed twin is that it sprays a hell lot of muck while ridding in the rain. Know of any aftermarket mud flap which I can bolt on during monsoons ?

Did you have trouble fitting the spring clips back in the headlight bezel ? I've changed mine but can only get two in , one by the heating is impossible any tips ????

I do like the fly screens. Have one on my t100 now, but I had one on my VMAX, but at the top it swept up. I loved that, but cannot find that style in any other fly screens. I do like the look of the speed twin over the t,s because of the pipes and the rear fender sweep. Long enough to keep mud off ur back, but short enough for that sporty look. I may upgrade. 865 ccs on these don't give u the hp for highway riding. 1200 would be better. Thanks guys.

Hi Brother really need your guidance. I m looking to put The handlebar in my Triump speed twin. I have seen that the wire of clutch is little short I wanted your advice can I change the wire with the Triump scrambler 1200 because it has a bigger wire than the Triump speed twin. please advise.

Glad someone else said it too. The thruxton riding position is terrible, and I am comparing it with a super sport bike.

That's mean looking! the dart screen really suits it. How about a comparison between the speed twin and the BMW r nine t pure? (Happens to be what I'm lusting after at the moment) ;)

Would like to see a before and after dyno chart.

Want to hear more of the exhaust note... 😎😋

Bike looks very cool? Which fly screen is that?

I forgot to add, the mod I'd do ( if the tank can be made to fit ) is the Scrambler 1200 pear shaped tank. It's 16 litres :)

Sorry, I don't quite understand the booster plug mod. Do you have a link?

As someone looking to buy a Triumph its good to get some info on this model, not sure if the Street twin would be the one, or the Speed twin.

Nice build! What's the jacket worn by Hawkeye mechanic?

nice vid! I'm sold Beautiful bikes

I love my Speed twin, even more since I took the cat out.

That bike is begging for the Thruxton R forks as well as the rear suspension. A type R version Triumph?

Please put the Thruxton Silver Rims and spokes on the Speed Twin

Need a color option for those rear coils yikes that yellow is horrid on this beautiful machine.

Some riders commented this bike has the high engine heat especially during summer.

Try getting an honest insurance quote for a bike modified like this. You may get a nasty surprise either with the premium or worse, if having to make a claim when mods have not been declared.

Mine is yellow ooooh what colour is yours ooooh lol

stock bike looks great...

Is bolted on some 'buy online off the shelf parts' Customised???

Still my second favorite bike lmao 👌🏾

Hello, where did you buy the ohlins pls

What was the name of the company that did the wrap. It’s beautiful.

Triumph need to sell a version like this with an upgraded (RWU) front end too. Speed twin R? Speed twin S? RS even!

What wrap product did you use? 3M?

Mmmmmm! Those Vance & Hines pipes are sex on a stick!!!!! That bass note is epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😋😋😋 When I owned a '92 Trident 750, I set the rear eccentric axle adjusters to the "high" position, dropped the front yoke about 30mm down the stanchions and fitted a front spring upgrade that consisted of Suzuki GSXR750 springs with spacer sleeves on top. And with slightly heavier fork oil, those simple mods made a huge difference to both the handling and braking. Especially with me being a 16+ stone rider.

is there a full fairing that would fit it? what power increase options are there?

What different street twin, T100, T120, Speed twin??

When I took my Triumph in for a service ,the guy their reckoned the Vance and Hines U.S.spec pipes no longer in their catalogue.

I prefer the stock one. only doing the back suspension will make every bike to handle poorly... and I do like the brushed aluminium parts a lot more than just black. My only grippe with this bike is that the engine is all black.. .it "hides" all the details... secretly hoping for a Speed TWIN R on the 23/02/2021 unveil.

Given me some great ideas……

Reference the front end. Before you spend big bucks. Check the fork oil level, air gap and oil weight. Mixing a 5 weight with a 10 weight will give you a firmer ride should you have a 5 weight oil as standard. Alternatively increasing/ decreasing the air gap by say 10% can make a big difference. Both of these are cheap fixes

Personally I can't stand that colour, wrap or not.

I wanna know how to get rid of the rubber fork covers !

May i know what is ohlins model for rear suspension?

Let us see a ride....

What's the top Speed on that Speed twin?

what suspension upgrades would you recommend without breaking the bed?

Cisa linda ,, mas esta preta para meu gosto a faixa no tanque se fosse prateada como da tampa lateral , a descarga polida um espetaculo , e para completar os amortecedores trazeiros polidos ae sim ficaria uma coisa dos sonhos , para mim claro pois gosto nao se descute... Lindissimas de olho na vermelhinha aqui , a questao desta moto é o preco , 2X mais caro que motos de alto nivel e praticamete do mesmo preço de uma superbike , muito caro mesmo !!!

Why couldnt we hear the bike

Twins talking about their twins.

The 2019 model was perfect, unfortunately the new models have lost that retro look.

stones and rocks fly up ? if it had a proper front fender like a 60's trumph bike it would stay a bit cleanerand look better . the manufactures have sold a bit of goods to the public.

Is it possible to remove silver plate with speed twin written on it?

Jos kang

Those rear shocks may be ace but the gold colour scheme doesn’t fit with the rest of the bike. I’d rather stay stock or find something that doesn’t jar with the rest of the bike.

That little screen raises the wind flow by a few inches. Not much difference.
