I respect Triumph for producing this machine; well done! I’ve been riding since BSA and Triumph ruled the world, well, my part of the world, so I’m a tad “classic ‘n retro” too. While I don’t own one yet, I’ve put enough miles on a Thruxton R to know the engine has great character and performance. All that said, I’m holding off buying one, and here’s why: Triumph has to get rid of the tank’s cheap looking pinch-welds (like they have on the new scramblers). And really, that’s it. But while I’m ranting, I may as well add that while I like the look of the dual-shocks, I’d swallow the loss of the classic look for the functionality of a single unit. The new Rocket 3 has swallowed that bitter reality, and the bike will certainty improve because of it. Finally, why doesn’t Triumph produce a Speed Twin R - replete with “standard” Arrow exhaust, Olin’s suspension and a few other better bits? Why buy a bike just to junk decent quality parts to replace them with marginally better parts? Give us the better parts up front!
I rode this actual bike today 😂. Exhaust sounds amazing in person lots of popping.
I've been looking forward to your review since the bike was released. Your obvious enthusiasm really comes across and personally, I reckon you should be on some sort of commission from Triumph. Keep up the great work.
I was at Eurosport today and heard the pipes.....the sounded awesome! This bike is a steal at $12,100 and about 1k more with this exhaust setup.
Can't get used to the yelling; it kinda ruined it for me. My neighbors thought I was watching man on man porn...
LoL, I agree can you imagine what Chooch is like with his girl friend, hope his bedroom is sound proof! Just teasing., another great video good job (hobby?) man. Take care.
Good move clearing the metal crap off the road but had to laugh thinking about the guy who has to mow the lawn:)
Yeahhhhh. Ooops :(. Hopefully the patch is small enough they use a trimmer
I kinda thought the Speed Triple was your new baby. But then I realized that video was posted a year ago. I enjoy the sound of this new ride.🤘🤓🤘
Been looking at this bike for a while now.. this review completely helped... Followed because of the "OH SQUIRREL" comment. Love the vids.
His reaction is priceless! He's a true enthusiast! Btw that bike is beautiful! I've been looking for my next bike and i think this one is going to be top 3 for sure.
Thank you so much for the kind words!!!
@@MotoChoochride on bro! that's what it's all about man! Smiles for miles! I'm definitely gonna have to work a lot of overtime to get it but i want it lol!
Nice bike. I'll buy a used one once the aftermarket catches up. Until then, my modified & tuned Bonneville will do.
Agree! I’ll do the same to my recently purchased sprint st for $400. A couple years these bikes will drop under $10k and I’ll pick one up.
Thank you for the introduction, tomorrow I must visit a local dealer to take a look on her.
Nice presentation, Chooch. 🤘
Dude! Love how you love that Speed Twin. Happy for you that you got it. Congrats!
Thank you!!
One the better sounding bikes I've heard in quite awhile 🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️
Of all the over acted videos I’ve watched - this is the most recent.
You do realize that, to an Italian, chooch means “jackass”.
6' streak of enthusiasm right there!
I was going for this as my first motorcycle and came back home with the street triple R
Why? Im going for same and thinking about str as well😂
haha....i went for the Streety R and bought it as my first bike. Rode it for 800km over the weekend. Then i went to the dealer and said „hhhmmm....give me cruiser or im dead next week“ and ordered a street twin 2019. Im very happy now :)
Have you tried the Z900 RS ? I think it's a bit better, definately bigger, But the T has it on looks.
lol your reactions will be like me riding. Feeling like a kid.
LOL I think you really enjoyed that bike! I'm sold
Here's the thing though, you like it better than the T120 in terms of fun/speed/performance in the short-term. BUT, would you like it better than the T120 when it comes to commuting, light adventure riding on dirt and highway for hundreds of miles per day, and comfort? That's why I chose my T120 over the Speed Twin; I can do MORE with the T120 and go on adventures/explore. What do you think MotoChooch?
I concur. The Speed is more a fun sporty have a blast bike. The T120 would probably be a better commuter/explorer.
@@MotoChooch Yeah. I tell you what though, that T120 is a lot of fun. Being a track/sportbike rider, I just pushed my T120 to its furthest point so far (it's been cold, and the bike just reached 600miles), and it was a freaking blast. More chill and smooth than my R6, it makes you feel like you're going faster than you actually are. I scraped peg for the first time on it, and I don't think I'd really want to lean further than that on public roads anyways. I can't wait to put more miles on this thing after its first service.
Hi, what have you changed on the exhaust? Slip-on and x-pipe? Please send the links. Can you make a special just with the exhaust sound? Thx
Just bike really looks amazing. Love everything about this. Triumph really make exceptional bikes. I have a 2018 Tiger Sport 1050 which really is amazing and the quality is supreme. I understand that you don’t get my bike in the States, which is a pity. I’m now going to use the video to convince my father to buy a Speed Twin. Thanks!
This is the Bonneville version of my Thruxton R. Great video Sir Chooch!!!
Thank you!!!
Sounds great. I was planning on getting an x pipe paired with the shorty predators on mine. Unfortunately not even 3 weeks of owning the bike a car pulled out from a parking lot into the road and I ended up slamming into it. Bike ended up getting totaled..
I’m definitely getting this bike again though.
I rode this today. Purely amazing.
awesome bike, love your enthusiasm!👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! Still loving mine 😁
Couldn't tell if he liked it?
it seems that when you accelerate the bike is not so fast
Great review. Enjoy hearing your verbalization as you accelerate...now, try a Kawasaki H2SX and your screams will be of terror and joy :)
GREAT BUT VERY DIFFERENT BIKE
I already have a T120 and a Thruxon R so I can't think of an excuse to buy this bike.
This is for the most part a much more comfortable thruxton.
A real salesmen’s review.
@MotoChooch How tall are you? I am 6' 2.5" so I want to know if this would be comfortable for tall people. I test drove the 2019 street scramble and the scrambler 1200 XC and 1200 XC is more comfortable seat position wise.
6' 285 lbs
How much better than the T-120? With my arthritic knee, I struggle with the peg position here, though I agree it looks awesome.
If you have an arthritic knee this might not be the best choice. I think you'd still love the T120. Getting this because of the power doesn't mean anything if you're in pain riding it.
@@MotoChooch good points. I currently ride a Tiger 1050.
Hi...Loved your review & video....Can you tell the a little more about the exhaust mod? Is this with the X-pipe and Predators from BC? Keen to get the same set-up..
I'd really like to see a shootout/comparo with this and the Kawi Z900RS. I'm a huge Triumph fanboy but I think the Kawi might be the better/more modern 'modern classic'
I’ve ridden both, the Twin has more character, I bought one.
I have a thruxton r had it nearly 2 years great bike but thinking about selling it and getting the Z900
Michael Witty 2- completely different bikes/motors, why?
Hey what gloves are you wearing? Cool bike. I need to take one for a test ride.
Held Air N Dry
Thank You for this amazing video. Love your enthusiasm and passion for riding.
And Thank You for removing the engine mount from the road and for saving the Squirrel
Please upload Kawasaki rs900 someday in the near future.
Regards from Grand Cayman :)
you can get an extra 10bhp out of this with a few mods .
Like a bear on a toy.
Bruno Costa hahahahaha 😂😂
OH SQUIRREL!!
Sweet sound :)
First review I saw of yours and I enjoyed it.
Confused between t120 and the speed twin can you suggest me which one is better in terms of handling, riding position ,seat comfort for pillion? Among the the models?
Comfort goes to T120. Handling, and pure muscle goes to Speed. Riding position is more aggressive on the speed as well. Pillon might be a tossup. I would say take your pillion to the dealer and both sit on both same day for that eval. Good luck! Don't think you'd be disappointed with either.
@@MotoChooch thank you soo much bro!
Cool review, Chooch! That bike is SWEET! Looking and sounding. It looks fast standing still! Would you recommend it for someone getting back in to bikes after years away or would you give the nod to the Street Twin for that?
If you have throttle discipline go for it!
MotoChooch a dealer told me that riding it in rain mode would restrict the power enough so as to be manageable for someone getting their feet wet again. Given your experience, do you agree with that?
@@bc67 The first bike I rode after my accident kept me off for 7 years was a KTM SuperDuke 1290R in rain mode. If you have throttle discipline and the riding maturity to not ride beyond your limits yes. I can agree with that. The bike I returned to riding with was a 2016 Street Triple R. I didn't use rain mode but I was able to really enjoy that bike even though it was more powerful than someone who didn't have any recent riding experience should have. I was in my late 30s so I was old enough to respect what it was and not ride beyond my limits trying to impress anyone. If you think you can handle it responsibly, I say go for it!
@@MotoChooch Awesome! Thanks for your videos and responses! Much appreciated!
I also very like this bike..
Just found this channel. Love it! Haha he’s hilarious
Can you compare this to an FZ09
Sudeep Chatterjee haven’t ridden one yet. Was on my list for this season 😭😭😭
If I hit a squirrel I take it home and pressure cook it for the chickens. They even eat all but the largest bones.
Can you review the r nine t?I like the way you review very consumer driven. Keep it up.
haha you sound better than the bike
Hey MC - I like your channel and reviews a lot, man. Question - (if you have an opinion) - what would be your choice between the Speed Twin and the Honda CB1000R? I am struggling to decide which would be a better bike to move into from my current bike (CB500F Naked).
Thanks!
Thank you! I haven't ridden the CB yet so I wouldn't be able to say either way for sure. I prefer the feel of triumph to any Honda Ive ridden so far but there are other factors to consider. Dealer support. Part costs. Maintenance costs. Etc. For my money I pick Triumph. They just feel the best. I recommend taking a test ride on both and see which one speaks to you.
@@MotoChooch The Speed Twin speaks to my heart. The CB1000 speaks to my brain - thanks for responding man, great channel - love your Speed Triple - mean bike.
I've ridden both and the Triumph though cool looking is a dog compared to the Honda .The Honda is much faster more powerful but kinda has its own look . So if you want the Triumph's powerful retro looking bike then buy the Triumph and if you want the more powerful naked sportbike buy the Honda . Oh and dealer support will be as good or better for Honda than Triumph anywhere in the US .
@@bfairfax8772 I agree, Bill. Which is why I am now a new and very excited CB1000R owner! I hope to do a reveal on my vlog next week when the bike is delivered. Thanks for just solidifying my choice! Safe riding!
The cb1000r isnt even in the same class lol its just a naked bike with slight cafe styling. The cb1000r is more comparable to the speed triple 1050. The cb1100 is the comparable bike to the Speed Twin and the triumph blows it out of the water
dont know why maybe your camera but looks like your going really slow.. hahaha
*HIT THE SQUIRREL NEXT TIME AND YOU'LL GET MORE SUBS*
😂
Never heard of an airbag
I remember the first time I rode a motorcycle too
Turn the volume down for this video
You don't like riding without your airbag. Am I missing something??
I'm sorry I don't understand the question?
Oh, if you're asking about the airbag, I wear an airbag vest when I ride. Also can get you 10% off one at helitemoto.com with promo code CHOOCH if you want :)
Looking good Chooch :)
SLAAAAAYEEEERRRRR
How do you like the RF-SR?
I really like it! It doesn't flow as much air as the RF-1200 but it feels more compact and I love the style. Excellent quality as all things Shoei are.
Makes a Harley Sportster look a bit shit doesn’t it?
I love the bike and your review is comprehensive but your exitement whenever you hang on the throttle sounds like your having sex, a bit too much. Take it down a notch.
And now that road debris will get caught in the blades of a mower and go through a windscreen. Oh happy happy.
Blimey can’t stand the over acting American enthusiasm, and girly screams, it’s only a twin Triumph,not a turbo charged Hyabusa ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,got to leave quick
Thanks for the view! Please like and subscribe for more girly screams and American over acting!
LOL
I love the commentary. Sounds like a porn movie lol
Like the commentary too - I kept thinking football match commentary with a goal being scored every minute or so.
Bike looks a wee bit small.
He's 6' and almost 300pounds. Chooch makes a Rocket 3 look small
7:38 I'm guessing you're a Democrat voter, right?
