Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2022

Precise, powerful and fast! The Triumph is a lot of fun on Alpine passes. However, you can only forgive the tight chassis if you are a sporty rider. But you have to love the engine. No matter whether you're strolling or heating up - the power is always available in a well-dosed manner.

Incredibly universal - rides easily in city traffic but also dead fast when needed

Rev-happy and powerful engine

Top quickshifter

Can be ridden quietly when needed

Light and compact ride

Stable handling even in fast corners

Strong brakes

Precise handling.

Quickshifter good, but not perfect

sound still a bit intrusive

still with vibrations in handlebars

The KTM 1290 Super Duke R is undoubtedly a beast in terms of its data - 173 hp, 144 Newton metres of torque, 189 kilos dry weight are values with which you can make an impression on the quarter mile. It's almost a miracle that the Austrian is so easy to handle and agile despite its 1301 cubic capacity. On the country road it is therefore enormous fun, but on the race track you have to have a very precise riding style in order not to have to work a lot on the Super Duke R - but admittedly a very nice form of work! In addition, the expensive Special Edition can fully score visually with its many power parts and the beautiful paintwork

Superb engine

agile handling

comfortable seating position

bombastic braking system

classy look

somewhat nervous handling on the racetrack

high price
