We review the new 2023 Triumph Speedmaster Chrome Edition Motorbike. This was our favourite Bonneville until we rode the Triumph Bonneville Scrambler 1200 XC last year, BUT, has the Ol' Man changed his mind?
This review is a little different from our usual reviews, and rather than go into all the specs, we focus entirely on the emotive sentiments of the riding experience, and what the bike feels like. Filmed in spectacular scenery in North Wales, this is a must see video for all motorcycle enthusiasts!
The Ol' Man meets some cows, a horse and eats fish & chips. You can get a very good impression of what this modern classic motorcycle sounds like in this film. Turn up the speakers!
If you have made money, and as a result, have some disposable income, you may look at buying a motorcycle to invest your money in, and if you choose wisely, you may find the right bike that becomes a future classic, and actually, over time, appreciates in value. As we are entering a new era, with electric vehicles becoming more and more prevalent, the choice motorbikes of today, could be the valuable classics of tomorow. You could of course invest in gold, silver, stocks and shares or bonds, but a motorcycle is much more fun!!! This is not financial advice but merely our opinion. Choose wisely!
Check out RedAng Revival for info on long-term ownership of the Triumph Speedmaster Bonneville, and for his great reviews! ‪@redangrevival‬

This video here has made me switch from getting a RE Super Meteor 650 or Indian Scout or Iron 883 to getting this bike. The Bonneville Speedmaster is easily top 5 best looking bikes in my opinion.

@FreddieDobbs Год назад

Totally agree- this is my favourite Triumph. Very possibly my favourite bike, full stop

@marcverdi665 Год назад

You and the Ol’ Man’s videos are why I own one, so thank you! Your two videos about the speedmaster are so good. I have seen all of your videos, but I have watched those particular ones multiple times.

@varmastiko2908 8 месяцев назад

Late to comment but this is such a great video. The atmosphere, the feeling you get from this sort of a bike and beautiful countryside. It captures the essence of why motorcycling is so great. Also, extra points for all the lovely animals. Someone clearly has a big heart.

@MrDarcy-OlMan 8 месяцев назад

@zachariaszut Год назад

You do live in Paradise. Stunning landscapes, tame animals, placid quiet stretches of absolutely jaw dropping green. I really missed these moments. Fly low over and through it on those beautiful classic looking machines and you hit Nirvana. And I dare say, risking sounding immodest, that that bike is even more beautiful than the rest, for if I sit on it and look down I will contemplate my own reflection. 😳 Dead gorgeous bike indeed. 😛 Cheers mate. All the best for you and your loved ones.

@davidelmore1668 Год назад

It's definitely a fine looking bike. Seems like it would be especially good for a taller than average person, too. Great review and thanks!

@shanefourie7003 Год назад

I literally couldn't decide on this or the scrambler. Got the scrambler after your last review 😂

@SCorre-le4fg Год назад

I enjoy your views and perspective. Personally I've considered to buy a somewhat older model Speedmaster (for the aesthetics), but I like this incarnation as well. I thought it would be too small for me as well, but as I see you riding on it, it doesn't seem to be too bad. I wonder if it can become an investment object, just like whisky for example. Keep the odometer at 0 and preserve the bike for some years...could be a great idea with the electric bikes coming. The only problem is fuel availability in the future I guess (petrol as a heavily taxed luxury product).

@Boobtube. Год назад

I like the fat front tire. Is this fuel injected or carburated?

@MrDarcy-OlMan Год назад

It’s fuel injected 👍🏼

I've had great weather the past few days here in Texas and have been lucky enough to ride mine daily since last Friday. I fall back in love with it each time I hop on it. I'm also 6'2" and it doesn't feel small at all, I much prefer it over my old HD Duce.

@malcellison8831 Год назад

A soulful review of a soulful bike. Great to watch. Just as a note on quality, I did the Triumph factory tour recently and one of the amazing facts was that they machine their crankshafts to a tolerance of one micron. That’s one thousandth of a millimetre! Incredible.

@CaptHollister Год назад

I really believe that this type of bike should not be chain driven. Surely Triumph could upgrade this model to a belt drive fairly easily.

@patrickking9600 Год назад

Why do you think it should be belt driven?

@CaptHollister Год назад

@@patrickking9600 Ease of maintenance and reliability. Lubing and adjusting the chain on a heavy bike with no center stand is an unnecessary hassle. Belts are clean, light, and require very little maintenance.

They made the thunderbird 1600/1700 belt driven so they couldve done with this

Reduces horsepower to the wheel though. Chain is the most efficient way to transfer power, belt is in second, shaft drive is third.

Near the end of the video it looked like those cows are just waiting by the side of their field for someone to shoot the breeze with them🙂. That was a very kind mention by you of RedAngs channel. I've been a subscriber to his channel for some time now. Great content on there by him.

@Rubuz Год назад

Love the looks and feel of the bike. It is stunning. But Triumph...why the chain drive? Thought of cleaning greased up from chain chrome spokes gives me nightmares.

@Disposalist Год назад

Chain maintenance is just one of those things you have to learn to 'enjoy' when you get a 'classic' bike. The chain is one thing. All the chrome is another, especially the spokes!

@RacerXdBrother Год назад

T120 Bonnies are beautiful bikes, I loved mine and was heartbroken when I traded it. I rode the Speedmaster last year and it was as you say gorgeous, my only gripe is that at 6 foot+ I felt it wasn't big enough, I don't like forward controls and hate the Mickey mouse mirrors, I always put bar ends on my T100 and T120. Triumph quality and modern tech is indeed superior and every bit as good as my HD Low Rider S and better than most. I'll always love these English beauties.

@State_of_our_Mind 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for your in depth review of how the ride of this motorcycle is. This really helped. Very well done video. Since you have so much riding experience sir, I was wondering to hear your opinion on - if dresser or crash bars are worth putting on a Speedmaster.

@MrDarcy-OlMan 5 месяцев назад

I would not get them as it spoils the look 👍🏼

@rickjones507 5 месяцев назад

I have the 2023 black and white speedmaster. I put the smaller, black dresser bars to protect the engine. They are much more subtle than the chrome ones. I feel like they suit the bike

@MentatOfDune Год назад

The Speedmaster is probably my dream bike. It has that classic look, is still a cruiser but it doesn't have that Americana look (which is a positive for me).

@Stephen-wg9qi Год назад

Great video and cheers from the USA! Love your energy and passion. Great bike. In the US, I think maybe the egos of some prospective buyers get in the way of purchasing this bike. As a veteran rider and Triumph fan, I wish more riders had an honest conversation with themselves and asked “Why do I really ride?” To impress others with massive CCs or overall size? Is it for the adrenaline? No, I don’t want to ride as a hooligan either! It’s about freedom and the grin factor for me. So buy the bike - you have nothing to prove!

@Disposalist Год назад

Nice shout out to @RedAngRevival! He's a nice bloke (we met/rode at the last London DGR) and it's a good channel. If I may blow my own trumpet, you can see a few vids of my Speedmaster on my channel - more to come too. Re. the Speedmaster, you're right about the suspension. Also the tank-fuel-range is quite low (maybe 120 miles). I recently tried the Royal Enfield Super Meteor wondering if it would solve those issues and tempt me away from the Speedmaster, but no. It's a good bike, but it's not as good a riding position or as characterful or as satisfying or as good looking as the Speedmaster. I will be sticking with it. There really is nothing like it. I love it more every time I ride it. I had no bad thoughts about the Super Meteor when riding it, but when I got off and back on my Speedmaster, there was really no temptation to get the Super Meteor.

@LooxJJ Год назад

This is a beautiful bike! Thanks for posting. I know there are a lot of classic looking bike manufacturers (British names now owned by India or China) now - like RE, BSA, and etc. They are nice with good low price...but I think there is just something about Triumph that is more than anything else. Can't quite figure out what it is, but I really like Triumph more than other retro styles. (But my hats off to Kawasaki Z900 series...they are probably a close 2nd on my list).

@1234567marks Год назад

They are made in Thailand though, does that bother you?, or do you mean it’s a British owned company whereas the others aren’t? P.S. I have a Thruxton 1200 made in Thailand and I love it, could care less if it were made in Timbuktu! 🙂

@LooxJJ Год назад

@@1234567marks I'm Asian so...we do pretty good when it comes to killing the soul of a company. I'm praying that Triumph stay as it is, in terms of design and soul, because it is the last of the British motor company.

@1234567marks Год назад

@@LooxJJ Don’t worry, Triumph have been building in Thailand for years, you only have to look at the quality of their machines to see that this was a good idea, hats off to the Thai staff, they are clearly proud of what they are producing, as a sharp contrast we can look at the quality of machines built in Meriden, absolutely appalling!!.

@saltaireorangebicyclechopp8555 Год назад

Best looking Triumph in a long while IMO, gorgeous. But.... I'm not paying the premium brand price for a "British" bike made in Thailand, it's a psychological thing, l don't care where the bits & bobs are manufactured, l want it to roll off the line in Britain.

As a Triumph America rider I can definitely see me upgrading to the new speedy. I agree with you about Redang revival really cool channel he reviews loads of bikes.

@olethorhermansen5696 Год назад

Beautiful bike, but I think Triumph missed the mark in a few places. Why not belt drive, they did it on the Thunderbird, so they know how. Oil stains on that nice rear rim must be frustrating. And the Speedmaster has the same short front mudguard as practically every other modern motorcycle, a stupid example of fashion before function. It doesn't protect the bike, you can clearly see how that fat front tyre has deposited some Welsh dirt on the radiator.

@lilynorthover8378 Год назад

@stephendejohn6543 Год назад

You sir were the deciding factor in me purchasing a new 2023 Bonneville Speedmaster today got it in the black and white.. I traded my 2011 Rocket 3 roadster as I wanted to downsize as my age 61..and arthritis dictated.. I bought the rocket a few years ago with the idea of riding it a few years the either flipping it or trading it in.but I've always loved British bikes for being smaller and good handling...the test drive on the speedometer which I must say the 1200 motor has all the power I need for my type of riding and the seating position is pretty comfortable...I don't do a lot of two up riding so that's not really a factor...and what I love about this bike is it has just the few options I wanted...I did order it with the windshield and nothing else and just plan to strap a round bag on the back for the few items i like to carry ...love your videos and reviews

I subscribe to all the major motorcycle channels. I like your reviews the most - it's the animals, the beautiful country setting, your presentation style and vibes in general and importantly you focus on your riding experience and not the technical specs.

To generalize: the chief defect of the modern retros is weight. They are too heavy for the wonderful handling we enjoyed in the '60s. Handling no longer matters? Why? Because in most developed countries windy country roads have turned to boring straight highways. Thus, many bikes have become two wheeled automobiles. Practically any video will establish this. It will show only the gentlest of curves, if any.

Disagree about going electric as I believe that due to new fuels for internal combustion engines there will be a change in the idiotic thinking of governments trying to force this on us, either that or a massive revolt from the public.

I bought my speedmaster chrome edition just over 2 weeks ago. I use it for my daily commute and I have to say I love it. It handles beautifully and is a real pleasure to ride. Great review.

I’m a Triumph (modern retro) fan boy. I’ve owned the Street Cup, the Speed Twin and currently own a T100 & an xe. The parallel twin engines in these are silky smooth through the gears and have plenty of go, especially the 1200s. If you want a cruiser style bike, the Speedmaster here is definitely worth considering over a Harley and it’s British owned 🇬🇧

@Volcanic Brown I’m lead to believe parts are manufactured not only in the UK but all over the World now.

@Volcanic Brown It doesn’t bother me where the bikes are made. They are a quality build. The fit and finish far superior to say the Royal Enfields however you are paying a premium for that.

@Volcanic Brown You stick with your Royal Enfield’s and I’ll keep with my Triumphs. Thank you.

Another speedmaster lover - clearly a man of taste and sophistication. I got one a couple of years ago and can honestly say I have no regrets - an absolute joy to ride and to look at when you stop riding it. Thank you for this little love letter to a magnificent machine.

I think all the current Bonneville bikes are future classics once owners mind the chrome and aluminium surfaces. Real quality and superb fit & finish. I bought a new T120 in 2017 and later a used 2016 Thruxton R. EDIT: I traded the T120 in for a Ducati V2 Troy Bayliss last year though as it was just too similar to the Thruxton and I like all my bikes to have their own individual flavour.

The Harley-est Triumph Harley never built, including the price....

Well, after 27 years of abstinence I decided to ride again. So my decision was to buy a speedmaster. I took a testride and I felt in shock love with this bike. I`m close to 6'4'' and have no problems with the handlebar or that I´m too big for it. It´s a fine art of british engeneering and style building. I bought in march this year a "Jet Black" one and can´t get enough of it. Next month I´m retired and I know what to do. Collecting miles.🙃Keep on going with your great videos.

I like Harley Road Kings but at 65 they are just too heavy. Liked your feedback a lot Franko as I decide. Thanks from New Zealand.

I don't get the obsession with having a built in USB port on bikes these days. Just buy yourself a strong power pack with at least two USB ports and put it in your pocket. Also the fluttering of a cable in the wind with a built in USB port can cause a nice bit of scuffing to the paint on a long journey. That said my T120 and Thruxton have them factory fitted under the seat - seems strange it would be omitted on the speedmaster?

Rolled 52k miles on my 1200 Thruxton yesterday. You'd never know it wasn't still brand new. Simple, wonderful lump. I fear it will outlive me by a good margin.

Hi. Lovely bike, great review. I completely agree about Redang Revival. Angus has a bloke chatting about bikes in a pub style. Very good channel as well as yours.
