Very nice mate enjoy :) I have the older street this maybe my next step and yeah that's 40 down that road the322 your so close to where I am i'll keep an eye out for ya!
MyRandomLife247 they'll be coming ;) I'm actually recording in 1080p 60fps, but it never appears as an option??? I Airplayed the 720p to my tv and it looks sharp enough.... might have to look into it
This is the bike I so much want to ride. Struggling to find a dealer with one. I was just a little underwhelmed with the 2017 Street Triple RS as good as it is, I want more grunt and the 1050 engine so the Speed Triple R might be the one. I already have a Sprint ST 1050. The Daytona I would love to try but it is no NLA unless I try second hand. Anyway enjoy your new ride and for making such an enjoyable honest review of your bike selling and buying reasons. Nice one. Shall look forward to your first proper review and walk around.
Just had a go on the Speed, currently run a Street R, Speed is definitely more my kind of bike, agree with your views 100%, thanks for the great review
About the reliability of the 675 engine. I have a Street Triple R from 2009 and it has about 52 000 km ( aprox 32 000 miles) on the meter right now. No serious failures appart from the rectifier recall, only regular services and a changed cam chain "stretcher" (don't know the correct term in English) Take care of them and they run forever.
FenrisUlfven oh definitely, my engine never skipped a beat on my Daytona and she had a tough 25,000 miles when I let her go. Oil changes and good to go 👌🏼
Must admit the 2016 speed triple is a fantastic bike! Not being so bendy comes to us all mate! but just think of all those wonderful naked bikes out there to choose from! Liked your video so I have subscribed,keep it up!
Congrats, I have seen a new speed when servicing my Thruxton R and he charmed me. Unfortunately it was not possible to test drive, only for sale. I have in mind to sell Thruxton R and buy speed R. I'd like to have more power on my bike.
know how you feel. Got rid of sprint gt. loved it. Felt grounded and handled well. It also had boxes on. Very handy. But partner small and wants to be lower down. Im now a rocket 111 owner. But miss that dam 1050 motor. I wished i could of kept it. But ££££
Hi mate. Enjoyed your other video on why you like the Speed Triple as I could relate to most of it. I bought a 2016 Speed Triple S in 2018 and love it still. I was at Silverstone for the MotoGP that wasn't last year and had a good look at the new model but I wouldn't change. If Triumph are there again this weekend I'll have another look but I would be hard pushed to change. Only the TFT screen and keyless ignition interest me on the new model. Wouldn't want to lose my upgrades including low slung exhaust. we'll see.
Knightlore10 test ride one, you’ll change your mind. The engine improvements and the new wheels make a HUGE difference! I did a review on the RS, you can hear the engine is more revvy!
It did look unique, it was sexy as fuck. But it wasnt right for you right now. By no means is the speed a bad replacement though ahaha. Excited to see you take it on track aswell. Im sure you'll have a blast on it :D
Samuel Wicks certainly was, do miss her screaming along already, but this thing is a barrel of laughs! I'm looking forward to going on track and showing up some sports bikes!
They’re great bikes. I bought my black, 2012 R about 5 years ago. Triumph was probably losing their asses selling that bike with those expensive wheels for those prices.
I was watching your last RS vs the Speed.. So last week i tested the RS and i was a bit disappointed.. i'm currently riding a mt07, and i was expecting something so much better, but for some reason, it was like riding mine, so "easy"? to put the bike where you want, of course with much more power, much more breaking, great suspension, but i still needed something more.. also, the clutch looked a bit fucked up and i was having lots of problems to use the quickshifter in fast conditions.. I spoke to the dealer about my experience, and he just told me to try the speed, that will be completely different. I will end up testing the speed and the superduke, and i guess we will have a winner :D
xt4tic they are roads apart, so many people keep saying "they'll stop making the Speed because of the new Street is faster, better, etc..." they couldn't be more wrong
Oh and i forgot one thing, i was riding with a pillion, and she instahated the RS, when she stopped she told me that it was so insecure that almost start crying rofl One more point on the wide and more comfy speed. As you say, it looks more muscular, the swingarm it's just beautiful, and you might help me here, the speed is a 16' model, so is it euro3 or euro4? I mean, this new regulations are shit, and all i want is to put a sexy exhaust and enjoy the noise. Enjoy the beast and share your thoughts on this new one!
It's still sold in 2017 so it's already EU4 compliant. Lot's of other bikes have been updated for 2017 or received successors like the Street Triple to meet EU4 regulations. And some, sadly, have been discontinued.
1st! Congrats on the purchase! As a new 765 RS owner, I think you made the right move since the new 765 RS has a peaky power band while the Speedy gets useable torque all-day long. The Speedy it's just a tad bit too heavy for me, but would be a great upgrade for you from a 2012, please share more thoughts!!!
Not on a Speedy, but in Duc SF the OEM battery weighed 11.3 lbs and it was high up under the pillion seat cover! Horrible place to carry extra weight. So I put in a 12 cell Anti-gravity that weighed well under 3 lbs and did make the bike feel lighter. It worked flawlessly too.
Dubble D 2nd gear output is broke + head gasket is gone, means engine out and split the casings. Bit of a shitter but shouldn't cost the earth in parts. It's an old '08 bike with ~25k on it. I still have my 1290R to use in the mean time so all is not lost! I need to get it fixed before the shit weather comes so have a few months yet to sort.
Dubble D Thank you. I am currently shopping. I can get a test ride in Houston...USA..where I live on the Speed Triple. But cannot get a test ride say on a less expensive alternative like the Z900 or the MT-09. Have you per chance had a ride on either of these?
So not only am I jealous that you have the spec bike I want but you then ride right past my house in the village of West End on it. It's like you're trying to wind me up, hahaha!!
Bike looks great fella, I'm looking forward to giving one a test ride. BTW what camera, mic and comms setup do you have as it sounds and looks very good?
Congrats Dude on the beautiful bike, I see your getting a low awesome choice serious weight saving and spits flames! I test ride the RS a few weeks ago and found it twitchy and unstable at high speed but I am used to the heavier Speed. Can I ask why you didn't consider S1000r, SuperDuke, Tuono, Mt10 etc?
Congrats! She's a beauty, I'm jealous of the dark grey. I just traded off my 2015 street rx for a 16 white Speed R last friday. Loving it, already have 1k km's on the clock.
OMG, I'm a bit jealous now as this is on may radar too. I'm doing a back to back RS staple and speedy next week. I'm also going to test ride the S1000R and an R NineT. If I do get a Speed I may look at the SC Project 3-1 exhaust, though I've been told it's a bit loud.
what's with these underseat exhausts , Iam intimidated by them. I care for the pillion , I don't want to keep her bottom heating up. how does the weight affect its handling over the street. sadly I never got to test ride it . I found the street 765 to be awesome . got to test ride one even before official launch in my country, which would be a couple of weeks from now.
@@DaytonaDays Prototypes is sitting in the behind me, being shipped to the factory in this coming week. They tend to be a bit slow with moulds but I hope I have a test part in a couple months and then can take some pre-orders for the 1st production run. Keep a eye on our FB page and our website. I try and post up when I can news.
140 hp is more than enough, shed the weight of the double cans, add an arrows low boy, triumph re map and gives 145hp and is usable hp not just high rev grunt. dont be a hp chaser, its pointless numbers for a majority of time road and twisties bike.
Enjoyed a couple of your vids now - most [bike] vloggers are terrible! I'm very fortunate to have a couple of bikes now; like you, obtained by working hard (and making a couple of smart purchases which I've been able to make money from). How did you make the decision to part with a bike you loved so much? I have a Ducati 999S which cripples me - but I love its soul!! However, I'm wanting a Speed Triple R. I could get one, but don't know if I can part with the Duc. And I can't sell my other bike either. 1st world problems eh?! Enjoy the bike - good choice!
Richard Hazeldine thanks mate! Well I had a Speed and the Daytona at the same time before, I loved them both, but I just ride the Speed - all the time. I do miss the Daytona and it's fucking insane howl! But time to try and master a new bike, as long as you buy what YOU want, you'll never regret a decision ✌🏼
I'm about to leave the Thruxton R for the Speed Triple S. One thing beyond all the better performance stats is the underrated comfort level of the SpeedTriple. Any thoughts on this move?
brilliant bike, miss my speedy massively but needs must atm. get yourself on ttruk on Facebook, great page and they do aftermarket parts same quality but much cheaper than official triumph stuff.
Have an old speed at the moment have not tested the new one yet. However, I have tested the Tuono, s1000r, street triple RS, MT-10. I never rated the MT10 as looks like a dogs arse, but after riding think it is my next bike (if speed doesn't blow me away), did you ever try the MT10 before you chose ?
The Incredible Sulk I did actually as Jamwheel has one and I had a go on it. Bonkers is the only word for it! Only thing is it didn't have that spark I was looking for - and like you say it looks awful, but Jamwheels is the only one I've ever liked - completely black, black headers and everything
E.S. Slc my speed ended up being stolen in London (typical), now moved to Ireland so once I get myself set up will be buying my next bike. The MT10 ended up blowing me away so at the moment that is my top pick
bro i planning to purchase a bike buts really confusing me which one i have to go for triumph triple s 2017 -z900 -ducati monster 821 please do suggest me iam waiting for your answer
Yeah I've been looking at being a traitor, because super dukes and the 1200 monsters have the speed triple beat in the numbers. I haven't test ridden them yet, and maybe Triumph's are awesome, but i'm afraid to test ride bikes because i'm 2/2 on test rides to purchases.
Kieran Blubaugh I'd be surprised if you bought the Monster - especially on how the bike actually performs, but the Duke is a real contender!!!! I'll confidently say the Speed handles better than any of its rivals
I don't know. I fell in love with the RS. Here in the U.S. though they want $12,500 for one... which to many people could be an fz10 or s1000 r. That said I know that RS would spank a lot of my friends older 750's and definitely keep up to my buddies hyper 1100. I'm 30 now already fuck that was fast. So I can't stand the R6 because it is like trying to sit on a pike it's just that uncomfortable. The other bike I cannot stand is the 2006-2008 triumph daytona. That model is just killer on your wrists. Besides that my big dilemma is A) after I get my new job a Daytona R or an RS. It's a very hard choice..... I can say if they threw on the electronics and dash of the RS it would be a Daytona instantly. Yet my girl loves to go on rides and I need a more comfortable bike for her as well. My Ninja just well 400 mile ride in one day.. my girlfriend hated me for the next 3 days LOL. My back also hated me because that thing blows with 2 people on it. Nice bike though the speed is great. I am bit of a Triumph fanboy. But like you I also can't like shit. So no matter how much I like something if i know it is shit I am just like cool well I would never buy it but cool to see it. Everyone I know doubts me on the Triumphs yet here in the states. Everyone buys jap and it gets old just seeing them everywhere... Well jap or A REAL BIKE (harley). Especially living right by Milwaukee..... My dad has two old Triumph's and a Harley. I grew up on and around them so I have a soft spot. Yet I grin at how fucking good these new inline 3's and even the bonnevilles are. I actually want a bonnie to take my girl on rides and a daytona for me lol. (In a perfect world where money rains down) hell I would also get an rsv4.
Zalonka man... what you wrote is such fun to read. I feel your situation. god bless you with such a shower. iam saving up for the 18 street triple and my dream bike is the tuono. right now iam riding a 11 year old 20 hp 85 mpg bike and dreaming big that I get the money when iam done with PhD. love from India
I know mate. I was doing some days out riding in the swiss alps. Last place on earth where i would have think to have a bike stolen. The Speed R is a damn good bike, i think i'm going with a 1290R now but the speedie remains an awesome package for street riding.
