Triumph Street Twin - Retro Done Right - Cycle Report | Everyday Driver 

My first bike after 30 years, you nailed it, really easy to ride, I’ve had mine for 3 years, no reason to move on. I ride round town mostly, ride the highway as well, interstates are boring , I prefer to get of and take the scenic route.

I WANT ONE!!! I want one so bad that I've got my Harley up for sale. If I can sell my Harley before Spring I hope to have a Triumph Speed Twin 900 in my gargae next Spring. There are several reasons why I'm choosing the Triumph Speed Twin 900 (Triumoh changed the name). One is the softer ride, my Halrey rides like a dump truck. It is such a harsh ride for the passenger, (my wife always rides with me) that my wife hates it. Other reasons why I'm choosing the Speed Twin 900 are the upswept megaphone mufflers. WIth the Bonneville T100 and T120 the mufflers are in the way of the rear axle to where you have to remove them for chain adjustments and tire changes. And I like alloy wheels so I can run tubeless tires. The Bonneville T100 and T120 have spokes rims, as they should for that real retro look, but they have to run tube tires. Don't get me wrong I love the look of the peashooter exhaust and the spoke wheels on the Bonneville T100 and T120, I just prefer the Speed Twin 900. Wish me luck selling my Halrey and buying my first Triumph. I'm 70 years old and have owned many motorcycles since 1967, mostly Japanese bikes and four Harleys. I am so excited to maybe own my first Triumph. Ride safe and evjoy every journey.

Best and most practical review of this bike I’ve seen so far.

Thats a great review. I thought my 2008 street triple was the best bike I’d had but I sat on a street twin last week and thought it was comfortable. I think it will be my next bike. The street triple had bags more power and speed than I used or needed. The twin looks great.

Im 37 and just bought my very first bike, a 2019 Street Twin with 2500 miles. I have nothing to compare it to, but I do know that from the moment I accelerated onto the street during the test drive I was sold. I drove around a lot for 2 minutes, pulled back around and told the salesmen thats all i needed. Its such a pleasure to ride. For me it's loads of power, actually I struggle to not slide off the flat bench seat. im looking for a stock seat now for more comfort on longer rides. Great video here mate, and lovely bike.

This is perhaps the best review of this bike I've seen. Reviewer is excellent - clear, no dramatics, enthused, knows a good bit about bikes. I'm now quite inspired to get a Street Twin, 2019 or newer. I had a 2017 T120 (1200cc) - it was gorgeous, powerful, but techy & lacked 'soul' for me, esp. as compared to the '66 & '68 Bonnies I had way back. I'm going to test ride a Street Twin.

Really nice breakdown of this bike ! I have a 2022 Street Twin ‘Gold Line’ limited edition ordered . I’m so excited , and feeling so blessed to have gotten one , can’t wait till it gets here in June ( only one thousand units made in the world 🌎)

I love that classic bike look!!! And it seems like a good beginner bike

Great review, thankyou, i must go and check these out. The shortlist for my next bike is building …

Excellent video production. Unlike a lot of other review videos, you get the see the bike, instead of just rider’s POV and helmet shots.

just bought 2 week ago. really great bike.

I once had a CB500F (2013 Model) for about 3 years, It was supposed to be a beginner's big bike. It's not a bad motorcycle at all, but after I got a 2016 Street Twin the Honda felt like rubbish to me. There's no snatching of the throttle, it's very mild and progressive, although it's heavier the weight is very low including the seat which I found to be very comfortable. just 55hp?...yes, but don't be fooled, the torque is addictive, it gets up to speed quickly but be aware it's not a Rocket, but kind of a cruiser disguised as a standard motorcycle.

Very good opinion review. Cheers!

After your review, I want one as well

I ride the 2020 Street Twin in jet-black ! but the 2018 also wonderful ! I like all ST !!

No problem going cross country with the Street Twin. I went for a 1,000 mile trip lasting for 3 days, a great ride.

nice gulia quadrifoglio, too!!!

Had just noticed a 2017 had popped up at a dealer a few miles away. I was going to see about a test ride today. It was sold :(

I own one, everything sounds really accurate . A bonneville edition was used in a 007 movie, they reinforced the suspensions of course and and brakes to perform the stunts, but it shows how well is balanced to ride and performs well in the city.

I love this bike. I'm getting one. tomorrow! (3/21). My question is regarding the mirrors. Do you like the bar-end mirrors? I can't decide if I want to get that upgrade yet on the bike.

Any chance you can get hold of a Triumph T100 to review. It would be great to see and hear your comparison comfort fit and performance

That seat is gorgeous. I really want to know who made it. Anyone knows?

Can you go test ride the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and do a comparison?

How tall are you? I’m 6’1 210lbs and concerned I’m too big for the bike. You fit it well, but like me, you sit tall. How’s the comfort for you?

How are these bikes in the highway? Is the engine stressed?

if its a 2020 or 2019 its 65 HP

It is a Bonneville Street Twin

never ride without safety gear !!!

How tall are you? I'm 6.1 and thinking of getting one but a bit concerned about its size.
