Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2019

Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2019

The Triumph Speed Twin 1200 looks like a magnificent but also powerful motorbike in the photos. But even when test riding it, it becomes slender and dainty. On the test ride, it goes even further. It is an accessible and easy-to-ride motorbike. In fact, it's small, compact and lively. A good choice if you want to ride 1200 cc and 97 hp and always thought that was way too much. In detail, the Triumph is lovingly and beautifully finished. A heart-warming motorbike.

Beautifully designed - even with the details not immediately visible

low seat height

accessible and easy handling

1200cc and 97hp - easy to ride but still emotionally served.

Sharp knee angle for tall people

slightly rough response in Sport mode

squeaky rear brake during test

For the fact that Honda has actually only announced an update, hardly a stone has been left unturned on the new Fire Blade. Some of the new features are of course due to the new EURO standard, but many of them are really aimed at improving drivability. I am very pleased that, especially in times like these, when more and more manufacturers are withdrawing from the high-performance and expensive superbike segment, Honda is once again devoting its full development power to improving what is already good and thus demonstrating what is technically feasible. Because even if these bikes are no longer affordable for many of us, they still demonstrate the know-how or the technical possibilities. And over time, these will also find their way into the 0-8-15 bikes from which the majority of motorcyclists will then also benefit.

Improved seating position

Rideability very good

Powerful engine

Throttle split gives the rider a lot of confidence

Chassis also suitable for the racetrack in automatic mode
