Triumphknows how to make a bike handle. The Street Triple and Triumph Daytona 765 Moto2 make you feel like a hero through corners and it defies logic how they can make oddities like the Triumph Bobber and Triumph Rocket 3 steer so sweetly.
Traction control works away in the background, subtly keeping an eye on grip levels and its smooth new wheelie control, which could spoil your fun on the road, is suddenly very useful accelerating out of slow corners at full throttle.
A new six-axis IMU enables a host of electronic aids, including four-way adjustable lean-sensitive traction control with integrated anti-wheelie, which will also switch off to let the Speed Triple wheelie.
Despite the model only being launched last year, Ducati have already updated the Streetfighter V4 and this year sees its power shifted further down the rev range, a move that makes a great bike even better.
The fact the Duke is a bit physically bigger than its rivals makes it comfortable, certainly far more so than the diminutive Triumph with its granite seat, and now on this third generation the suspension and engine feel like they are working together rather than waging a war, which was the case on older models. And on the road this all results in a bike that hits the super-naked brief on the head.
The Ducati, which you assume will be mental with its V4, in contrast is relaxed, forgiving, plush and yet still more than happy to go bonkers when requested and the KTM is much of the same, although it still has a slightly untamed typically KTM side to its ride.
Mechanical build quality is excellent and is a pleasure to ride. It has to be one of the easiest bikes to ride as I find it does everything so well. The electrics where a major concern in the early days of ownership with constant electrical faults appearing over seven months from new. All were changed under warranty but it cost me a lot of time and concern. Triumph were a total waste of time in UK when questioned at NEC show in 2021.
Comfortable awesome looking sports bike with flat bars, sounds amazing with the Zard exhaust system fitted , tyres are unreal . traded in my Ninja H2 sx se as it was too heavy and uncomfortable on long rides . the 1200 RS is as fast , handles better and so much more fun to ride and own. rear seat is just silly, no rear pegs so seat cowl fitted . no issues at all just done 1500 in all weathers mainly NC500 and didnt skip a beat . only real niggle is the Triumph App and connectivity dont always work. I test rode all the super naked and the 1200 RS ticked more of my boxes then any other , the KTM SDR was so bad I had to get off it after 10 mins , V twin ? nope !
Its a ģreat bike let down by some major quality control issues! The engine and handling are all top notch, as is the general level of the components. However mine has already been back for a recall for the rear rotor ( they used the wrong bolts from the factory), a failed oil pressure sensor (it kept raising oil pressure warnings and telling me to stop riding), and the most dangerous thing, constantly putting the bike into neutral when shifting from 1st to 2nd or vice versa ( the quickshifter has now failed and is awaiting replacement)
I would give it 4.5 stars if I could, only let down for me is the electronic display which i think is a step back from the layout of the 1050 RS which I preferred. However this may change with software updates. There has been a lot of criticism of the suspension as too harsh for the road. however I think this is a product of the spring rates. If your over 14 stone you will be pleasantly surprised at the compliance.
Wow what a great bike. I was in the market for a new bike and I had narrowed it down to this or a 2020 Aprilia Tuono and after riding both I decided on the RS, for me the RS felt more comfortable, the power is very usable and I can see myself touring parts of Europe on it with ease.
Yes, I would recommend this bike to a friend - without hesitation.I took ownership of this brand new machine less than two weeks ago. I had become anxious about taking delivery of it having read, watched and listened to the reports of press test riders - I didn't want what they were desrcibing, a bike that wasn't road friendly, one that was only good for the track! I don't ride on a track. And, I already had a perfectly sorted road bike in the guise of the 2018 Speed Triple 1050RS. I just wanted the 1200RS to give me more of the same. I was afterall handing the 1050RS over in part-ex for the new bike, and the press reports had rattled me; was I doing the sensible thing letting the 1050 go?In my humble opinion (and what do I know), the new bike has achieved all that I'd hoped for already. The moment I climbed on, it instantly felt familiar, and I instantly felt at one with it. I hadn't waited for a test ride - I'd been so blown away by the 1050RS, I just couldn't imagine the new bike being anything other than a progressive further improvement over what I already had.The new bike is superb; utterly superb. It's better in every single sense. Faster, Lighter, Comfier, more Flickable, as equally unflappable, looks fantasticly understated, like a naked bike should - naked bikes should be naked; not faired with wings and spoilers all over the place. And it still looks how a conventional two wheel naked bike should look... to me at least. It's easier to ride than the 1050RS - in every single sense, it's an easier bike to ride. I don't get where the press reports are coming from. I've lived with the 1050RS for two years, covered around 4,500 miles on that bike in that time, and loved every second of time I spent on it. I don't have a single negative word to report on the new 1200RS at this stage either. I can't imagine I ever will as things are.
Suspension has always been an issue on the previouse Speed Triples, Triumph seem to always get it wrong especialy when the say the new 1200 is a bike made for the road not a race bike for the road. How can Ducati, Aprilia and KTM get it so right. I dont think Triumph spoke to there customers about suspension.

The only Speed Triple 1200 available for 2021 is the RS model, and with that designation comes premium equipment. Fully adjustable hlins suspension includes an NIX30 inverted fork and a TTX36 twin-tube rear shock. Braking at the front wheel is supplied by twin Brembo Stylema radial monoblock 4-piston calipers clamping 320mm discs, and at the rear, a single Brembo 2-piston caliper. Tires are grippy Metzeler Racetec RR tires with just a hint of rain sipes.
Triumph applied its standard minimalist approach to the cockpit. A low-reflection, 5-inch TFT display defaults to a view of the tach, gear position, and speed, and snazzy dash graphics rotate the default screen to the side when you access the menu. A new six-axis IMU sensor empowers a full suite of electronic rider aids, including multi-mode cornering ABS and traction control. There are five riding modes: Rain (power is restricted to 99 horsepower), Road, Sport, Track, and Custom. On the street, the Speed Triple is more than saucy enough in Road mode. All-round LED lights, backlit switchgear, keyless ignition, and cruise control are standard.
Sounds like an outstanding road burner, 165 HP, 437 lbs., Ohlins suspension, wow! Great bike for a weekend trip to Vegas.
Problem is, there may not be enough gas stops, because this great machine is a petrol burner too. At 29 mpg, serious riders will find themselves carrying auxiliary fuel tanks.
Not sure why manufacturers do this. Would any rider choose a 4 gallon tank over a 6 gallon one if they had a choice?
If you previously setup the AC1200 extender in "Range Extender" mode, then the data connection between the range extender and the router was via wireless connection, despite the two also being connected via an Ethernet cable. (the extender would have just ignored the cable connection in this mode)
Given that and the fact that the extender and the router are located in different rooms, a speed of 175 Mbps is quite reasonable.
