Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2025

With the new Speed Twin 1200 models, Triumph offers two exceptional machines that combine retro looks and modern technology in an appealing way. The powerful 1200cc parallel twin now meets state-of-the-art electronics and spoils you with a marvellous sound. The standard speed twin cylinder impresses with its relaxed ergonomics. The wider, higher handlebars and lower footrests ensure an upright riding position. The standard version is equipped with suspension and brake components suitable for everyday use, which are perfectly adequate in most situations.
