Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2021

Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2021

The better is the enemy of the good, this saying once again proves to be impressively true in the case of the new Triumph Speed Twin. The British have worked on the weak points of the predecessor and thus turned the classic beauty into a real riding machine that does not have to hide from modern naked bikes. Unfortunately, tall riders cannot enjoy the small 1200 quite as easily as riders under 1.85 metres. Be that as it may, the Speed Twin is the perfect modern classic motorbike for me - it combines classic looks with modern handling like no other motorbike on the market today.

Superb engine

quality workmanship and material feel

torque in every situation

playful handling

good chassis

high-performance brakes

Strong heat development under the driver

a little too petite for tall pilots

large turning circle
