Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2021

Triumph has created an incredibly good all-rounder with the new Speed Triple 1200 RS. The engine can be moved very comfortably at low revs. The vehicle is very accessible when needed and inspires confidence. However, anyone who puts the spurs to the compact-looking motorbike reaps cruel acceleration and hard braking. The chassis is quite tight overall - as a result, it loses a little of its accessibility.

Incredibly universal - easy to drive in city traffic but also super fast when needed

Rev-happy and powerful engine

Can be driven quietly when needed

Light and compact ride

Stable handling even in fast corners

Strong brakes

Precise handling

Beautiful details

Timeless elegance.

Load change reactions at low speeds

slightly too low steering angle

narrow knee angle for tall people

traction control too defensive even in track mode

vibrations on handlebars
