    Very simple easy bike to ride. A lot of class and looks super balanced with old and modern. Twin pipes looks wicked from the back.

    I have the same bike... Completely agree with what you said...

    I suppose in the end, a bike is a bike, and it's just great to be on two wheels.
    So even if the Speed Twin isn't perfect, it is good, and it is fun. 😁
    Great job with the review.

    💯Agree! I own an S1000R and no matter how fast I go it wants me to faster. I recently got a Speed Twin and it is fun and satisfying at sane speeds but can also let me open it up whenever I want.

    Nice to see a recommendation on a café to check out. Still waiting to see the review on the triumph 400 Scrambler. Mainly on the comfort of the ride, mileage and how it fares as a daily commute in SG.

    Good video I've been riding since 1972 I've had a 1979 Bonneville t140e when I was in Germany alongside of a ninja 900 loved both bikes of both have different characteristics and now I'm back to my Triumph t140e I think if you try that you'd really like it because it has no fly by wire it's much taller in the saddle okay you might have me on reliability but I've really had no problem because I'm in tune with my bike and I know what it needs and when it needs it and haven't had a break down since somewhere around 1984. Excellent with the video straight to the point I like it good luck to you. Hutch

    Great video. 👍 HD Pan America 1250 special. I have the 2022 model. I did have the XSR900 until I was knocked off by a HD road king.

  • @movem1
    @movem1 Před měsícem

    great video, great motorbike. agreed, the throttle has too much play and is corrected with those red spacers (sold by ducati spacers)

  • @niallsommerville9813
    @niallsommerville9813 Před 4 měsíci

    You're right, it's almost like they shrunk down the original card units, enough space for sticker or not?

  • @k3lt3o

      It’s a Simpson mod bandit, and we’re all using chinmount GoPro mounts!

    How about the front brake squealing.. is it there.. ? My 2019 have that

    • @tri333ple
      @tri333ple  Před 4 měsíci

      Yeah it does, seems like a “unique characteristic” most owners experience.

    • @movem1
      @movem1 Před měsícem

      easy to fix, just change the front pads, such as EBC FA322/4HH (need two sets because two front rotors)

  • @headoftimpohon
    @headoftimpohon Před 4 měsíci

    @rottweilerfun9520 Před 4 měsíci

    What's that on the handlebars ? I've never seen it. Is it something mandatory in Singapore ?

    • @tri333ple
      @tri333ple  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Yes! It’s an OBU that pays for our electronic tolls and parking.

    I so want to print a sticker that says " F*** this big A** OBU " and paste it on the obu... so outdated and bulky

  • @JuanDavid-gb6mo
    @JuanDavid-gb6mo Před 3 měsíci

    Reliability of the modern technology 😂😂😂 I had a triumph speed twin 900 and always had electronic issues since day one. Now I’m much more happier with my xsr700.
