Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR vs Ducati Panigale V2 vs Ducati SuperSport 

Why battery change ? I thought they come standard with lithium battery.

Wow, great ! Did you get the 1200RR? It is a great machine, I wish my knees could tolerate it. Glad the video was useful!

Noo no, that was but a clumsy way of wording it 😅 I got a Daytona660 on order (cuz a2 license ect.) but because of you, the Speed Triple RR is my new dream bike! (thank you again for the great and sincerely critical video)

My first two bikes were v-twins, a 1st and 2nd gen Suzuki SV650S, I loved them at the time. I think I have been spoiled by the smoothness and extra top end of my Triumph triple, the SuperSport seemed so vibey and agricultural. The whole package just doesn't seem as well-finished or refined as the top-tier Ducati or Triumph models. I'm currently editing a video on the Ducati Streetfighter V4S and just uploaded one on the Multistrada V4S, both are a cut above, so refined and easy yet enjoyable to ride. I definitely prefer the Ducati V4 engines over the v-twins. The extra cost of the flagship models does seem to buy a noticeably better riding experience.

Cheers! I only had 20-30 minutes with each of these bikes hence the lack of detail on the screens etc. I thought that the Triumph system was OK, not as good as BMW and the animations were a bit sluggish. Not a showstopper for me though. I would consider aftermarket rearsets, yes. Also eyeing up the Zard exhaust end can for the Triumph, looks much better than stock. Looks are totally subjective, at first I wasn't sure about the single headlight but I do think the bike looks better in real life than in pictures. Thanks for your support!

Thanks, it's the French - speaking part of Switzerland, Canton Vaud. I rode the Supersport on the road to St Cergue, it's a crazy one. V2 was the Marchairuz pass into Vallée de Joux where some famous watchmaking companies are (I think I turned around in the Audemars Piguet car park !). I rode the Triumph a bit closer to home near Lausanne, not mountains but some pleasant twisty forest roads. Glad you liked it!

Hi, thanks for the comment! Although I loved riding the 1200RR I was worried about the knee pain I had after the ride, I also felt like trying a different brand. So I now have a 2022 BMW S1000RR 😁 I've got a first impressions video on the channel from a couple of years ago and I've tested it several times since, I think it was the right choice. Maybe I'll get a 1200RR some day, when I can buy used and justify owning two sport bikes 😁

Having just rode it (video to come) I have to tell you to also try the Ducati Streetfighter V4S, it is crazy powerful yes but very easy and comfortable, possibly the best compromise if you only have one bike for the city, the mountains, day-long touring and the track.

I was so close to buying the Triumph but I had to admit to myself that the level of knee pain I had after only 20 minutes was not sustainable. I had the opportunity to buy a new in stock 2022 BMW S1000RR, in my preferred colour, at a good price. After 8800km I am happy with the decision, it´s an awesome machine and I wanted to try a true superbike before getting too old! I have kept my Street Triple 675R though, for the winter and for commuting through the city.

On the list, there's a Ducati mountain demo event every other weekend 😃

Hi, filmed in Canton Vaud, Switzerland: St. Cergue, Col de Marchairuz and north of Lausanne.
