I have that very bike! I love it! It is such a fun bike to ride. For anyone curious, I’m 5’6” with a 28” inseam and the seat height is not an issue at all. Nice vid, yam.

@pontypete7357 4 месяца назад

I have been offered a lovely Red 1200 2022 bike with extra Nikon rear suspension cushioning it is the best looking bike I have seen! Only 3000 miles and a low buying price I’m a bit worried with the seat height I’m 5ft 7” with a 29” inner leg thing is if I buy it is without a test drive given, I would be very upset if it is to tall for me what are your opinion here many thanks ,Pete! Also the smaller 900 twin is 50mm lower seat height use a point !

@msims1250 4 месяца назад

@@pontypete7357 I think you would be fine on the Speed Twin with a 29” inseam. With my 28” (which, if I’m being honest is probably 27.5”) inseam, I get the balls of my feet down, and that’s all I really need. The bike is very well-balanced and quite stable, so I really don’t think you’d have any problems.

@gerrycollins2335 7 месяцев назад

Good of you to reverse the image: helps us in the UK, Australia and Japan (among other countries) to know what the Speed Twin is like when driving on the left.

@Barcelo86 3 месяца назад

Could you please describe the problems for us?

@operator0 10 месяцев назад

Yammie thinks that all the other Bonnevilles have a five speed, but in fact, only the 900cc motors have the five speed. Everything with a 1200 has the six speed gearbox.

@jimwatson6363 10 месяцев назад

I agree with your opinion on the orange color and performance. I couldn’t resist the Breitling version. My 041 of 270 was purchased through Eurosport. The only thing I would like it to have is cruise control.

@varmastiko2908 8 месяцев назад

Could you retrofit the cruise control? The Bonneville T120 has it.

@SWFlowseeker 10 месяцев назад

Another cool vid. I’ve had the Thruxton RS, the Scrambler 1200XE and now the 2023 ST. Loved the RS..but a little aggro on wrist and narrow tank, 1200 XE felt very big and tall and hot side pipes. Also don’t think modern TFt looks the part. And now the ST 1200…everything great about the RS with a bit more comfort 👍🏼. Awesome bike in my opinion, I do wish it ran a bit cooler though, when the fan kicks on it gets pretty darn hot on your legs. Anyone on the fence about the ST..don’t be…it’s a great machine!

@johnnynitetrain6463 9 месяцев назад

@Tommy-B. 10 месяцев назад

My only complaint is no cruise control, but an RS version would be nice for bragging rights more than anything.

@jamesfairmind2247 7 месяцев назад

Correction, it is not the same frame as the scrambler. It is the Thruxton frame which is a much shorter and smaller frame. Totally different.

@stevegee218 10 месяцев назад

The closest Speed Twin RS would have been the very limited Speed Twin Breitling edition that had the Ohlins rear shocks. I don't think Triumph wants to make a Speed Twin RS as it would pull sales from the Thruxton RS. Some others have also found that the Thruxton fuel map is a bit more aggressive to give it a few more HP over the Speed Twin, but the 1200 motor is identical.

@stevebolton8471 8 месяцев назад

Thruxton Final Edition is being produced now. Sales of cafe racers have fallen in recent years. And the Speed Twin is a much more capable bike. You can ride it all day without wrecking your wrists and the seat isn't a plank.

@RonnieM 10 месяцев назад

Yammy electronically uncorked it'll pull second gear wheelies without any clutch assistance. That engine is a peach even restricted though.

@tarnishedsquid2967 10 месяцев назад

I wanted one of these. Just a tad too expensive. Happy with my shiny new blue XSR 900 though(;

@ManNew168 10 месяцев назад

This speed twin also one of two to Scrambler xe for my classic bike choice.

@tjey379 10 месяцев назад

I think that I prefer this one to the Scrambler, it looks like it has a simpler electronic package and an actual key but a 12000 that revs so low this baby has got to be really torqative now I really wish that I could afford the 400 and I wish this review was longer than the other and I wish you could do the third one as well but man that's too many wishes. Never the less fun times right?👍👍👍👍👌👌👌

@wilsonstein3d799 Месяц назад

I know this is an older post, but I'm considering a Thruxton as a first bike. I'm a heavier guy (~260), and an older rider (44). No desire to go out and engage in hooligan behavior, but I LOVE the look and heritage of the Thruxton. I'd be riding around the city, and suburbs near where I am, and I REALLY don't want to miss out on being able to own a Thruxton. Plus, that green is just killer. I know you're not a fan of large displacement and power for new riders, Yammie, but I'd love to hear (read) your thoughts.

@666batmanrocksu Месяц назад

Thought they just discontinued that this year. Cuz that’s what I wanted, but the cup variant

@wilsonstein3d799 Месяц назад

@@666batmanrocksu this is the last year to get a new one; if you're looking for a new one, I recommend getting to your local Triumph dealer to reserve a Final Edition, especially if they don't have a new 23 in stock, or a nice pre-owned example. Also, word on the street is that they Thruxton will return, but as a 400, but that could just be nonsense.

@jmags2586 9 месяцев назад

@yammienoob Can you get your hands on a Street Twin (Speed Twin 900)? Would love to hear your impressions of the ST900 in contrast to the ST1200.

@flatcapcaferacer 10 месяцев назад

Hard to beat Triumphs Thruxton RS in this category. The Speed Twin is probably a tad more comfortable than the Thruxton RS but the T120 is more comfortable than either the RS and Speed Twin.

@davidchampkin5999 9 месяцев назад

The speed twin has a 10 pence plastic chain guard which is pathetic for the money it costs . Also triumph have stoped putting on radiator guards as standard.. Best solution is put the metal thruxton chain guard on the speed twin .

@joshchacko7729 7 месяцев назад

Snickety. Like the word choice. Feels apt.

@dirkdiggler5164 Месяц назад

@arekingi 9 месяцев назад

My heart yearns for a Bobber, but my brain screams buy a Speed Twin. Im pretty sure the Speed Twin will win out when i go to purchase. I would love a Thruxton even more, but my wrists are shit and i know i would hate myself as soon as i spent more than half an hour on one.

@chrisrader8547 10 месяцев назад

Agree that a Speed Twin RS would be an excellent offering. I had a Thruxton 1200R, and would have loved the more upright handlebars of the Speed Twin coupled with the suspension of the Thruxton. I went with Metzeler Sportec RR’s when I replaced the tires and was supremely happy with them.

@RonnieM 10 месяцев назад

The suspension on Thruxton RS is just as much of a peace as the engine, I plan on doing handlebars on mine (not getting younger)

@wellsbengston4132 10 месяцев назад

I'm planning to put bars on my Thruxton R.

@Beat_Daddy 8 месяцев назад

Dont look that much videos :)....Nobody needs a Speed Twin RS, just this one english guy....and if you`re under 80 Kg`s you dont need any other Suspension, just adjust the original under your back. No need to throw away the money...you will need it for the Tyres, if you love the Metzlers...2500Km, well thats just a fifth of a season. Im now trying out the Pirellis Scorpion Trail II. The handling is nearly similar to the racetecs, in rain they are in another Dimension and if it is dry, you can go to the Edge without driving like hell for the right Temperature in your wheels. I hope the tyres will last at least 10 or 12k Kilometers...

@Specwryter 10 месяцев назад

Coming from a sport bike world, and loving that Yammie is doing this video, I continue to struggle to see the appeal of this style of bike. To me it looks boring. But it’s a Triumph, so I continue to observe.

@stevebolton8471 8 месяцев назад

You have to ride them to appreciate them.

@deanbritton7436 9 месяцев назад

Hi Yammie, I'm 6'3" and was considering this or the Kwaka Z900RS, which one suits a taller rider, I assume the Kwaka.

@mattrodgers157 2 месяца назад

Go for the scrambler 1200 if you’re tall

@jaybou007 10 месяцев назад

Looks great, but! But…Moto Guzzi’s driveshaft and shaky V-Twin has much more charm to me. Since the price difference is considerable and since the 850 engine for the V7 is far from lazy, I think it’s still a no brainer if you can live with the clunky noises from the gearbox.

@beaverboydilly 10 месяцев назад

I'm 5' foot 1", with about 27" inseam, I've been riding for about 6 months and very good rider with my 250cc San Gabriel, but need to upgrade. Should I get this speed twin (higher seat height), or a Rebel 1100? Please and thank you.

@_Wcars_ 10 месяцев назад

If you need an upgrade. Then do it

@sbhas37 10 месяцев назад

You could also consider the speed twin 900, the seat height is more forgiving and still a lot of fun despite the lower displacement

@judge831 10 месяцев назад

How many miles have you ridden? How many hours have you practiced low speed maneuvers and emergency braking? 250cc to 1200cc is a huge jump in power & weight. I recommend a 500 or 650-700 for your next bike

@krie2375 10 месяцев назад

Get the speed twin 1200. I'm 5'2. It's very narrow between the legs so you'll take advantage of that coming to stop lights.

You keep saying “regular Bonnevilles only have 5 speeds. “ That is incorrect. The T100 has 5, but the T120 has 6. I own a 2020 Bonneville T120. My bike also has two riding modes, cruise control and heated grips.

@phraz101 10 месяцев назад

In rain mode it’s very easy going, doesn’t feel as heavy as it should either. Has excellent brakes, handles very well. In sport mode it’s not beginner friendly. Still recommend it for a beginner, just make sure you get engine protectors because you will probably drop it, hence why it’s good practice to get a beater bike for a first bike.

@ThaBootyBandit 5 месяцев назад

10000% agree about black motorcycles. I wish manufactures would stop priortizing that paint scheme, Like i want to be see by other drivers not blend in. Dont forget about gear manufactures only having 2 colors 90% of the time, You want black or red? oh wait, how about black AND red, wait Red and black with a little bit of grey or white. Like ffs
