Triumph’s Speed Twin 1200 RS is a thoroughly modern naked sport bike that looks amazing, sounds fantastic and rides like a dream. It’s not too much bike. But it’s enough to keep you happy. In this video I’ll take you through 100 miles of first impression thoughts. I don’t get deep into specs or anything like that. It’s all about what it’s like to ride, from seating position to acceleration, from the quick shifter to the brakes. This is an off-beat look at a very, very fine motorcycle. Special thanks to the fine folks at Triumph Columbia River in Portland, Oregon, for allowing me some saddle time on this machine. If you’re in the Portland area and considering a Triumph, go see the folks at TCR and tell them Bug sent you. When they ask who Bug is, just tell them it’s the guy who can’t ever make up his mind… https://www.triumphcolumbiariver.com/ This is not a sponsored video. I just like Triumph motorcycles.
