Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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
