    picked up my speed twin this afternoon first impressions awesome my other bike is a sportsbike but I was really surprised how quick it is the 2 into 1 exhaust is definitely on the wrong side of illegal but it sounds epic.
    the throttle in 1st is very snatchy round town just need to get used to it. got tomorrow off so out for a ride. triumph.jpg

    Looks stunning, love the seat. Picking mine up on Friday from Total Triumph, it should have arrived with them today, so getting really excited now.
    What make is the exhaust?
    Have a great day riding it tomorrow

    i pick it up on Friday as they need tomorrow to prep it and fit some bits that I bought from tech bike parts, sump guard and tail tidy, which I see you have in yours too. I hope it is my bike, I’ve been waiting since Feb for it and Craig at Total Triumph has been very apologetic on the delay.
    The 2 into 1 looks cracking, perhaps a purchase in the future for me.

    Love the idea of the 2 into 1, but I put the x-pipe on mine so it would make that irrelevant...: unamused: But I do love how much the x-pipe improves the bike all around, so yeah it’s a win no matter what!!

    went out for my 1st ride today first impressions awesome totally fell in love with it the thing just pulls like a train. a lot of reviews have mentioned that the suspension is a bit budget trust me it handles a treat. comfort wise I found the riding position just right for me done two hours in the saddle no problem. couple of pics down by west bay same layby I stopped in last year when I had my speed triple lol. west2.jpg west1.jpg

    Awesome. Great roads for getting to grips with the bike. Mine is already to collect tomorrow so last ride for my speed triple when I change to the twin. Can’t wait to get out on it.

    Got to be one of the best Triumphs ever. Just got home from a week in The Netherlands on my Speed Twin, missus perched on the back. It's a great bike for touring and now has 1600 miles on the clock. No luggage available yet, so we had to travel REALLY light!

    Congrats, just in time for the long weekend too. ktm with it's 790 is getting some attention in the press, but these triumphs are the whole package.
