Review of the Triumph Speed Twin 2019
Awesome awesome bike! The Speed Twin joins Triumphs classics range and it is brilliant. It took me a little while to get used to the Speed Twin as I didn’t feel intune with it. I initially thought this was down to the torque and gear ratios however I think it might have been due to the dampened throttle response when in rain mode. In sport mode the Speed Twin felt brilliant.
Test ride goes through real world riding in the UK with some duel carriageway, town riding and country roads. The Speed Twin excels in all apart from a slight loss of comfort at motorway speeds due to no wind protection. This isn’t as pronounced as the Triumph Scrambler 1200XE however would be something to consider if you are planning on long motorway stretches.
Option extras I would say are a must have would be the heated grips. I would personally also look for an adjustment to the kick stand as it is a little tricky to find – I thought it had fallen off initially as I spent 30 seconds trying to find it :D
