Hello, I am so looking forward to "meeting" everyone, hearing about your epic road trips, tips and tricks as well as maintenance suggestions. New to motorcycling at age 57. An avid road cyclist (previously raced) and current mountain biker (XC). Started with a Vespa GTV 300 "Sei Giorni" Edition, then a 2019 Triumph Street Twin 900, then a 2024 Triumph Speed Twin 1200. I would say the 1200 will be the lifetime motorcycle for me as it really suits my riding style and my personality. I love meeting new Triumph owners who take the same pride as myself. I'm here for a good time, not a fast time - so not much into needing to go faster, or have the ST1200 go any faster, just want to enjoy sunsets, sunrises, and a short trip with my wife to the local restaurant by the water.
Welcome. The Speed Twin 1200 is a great bike, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Our son lives in Tacoma. I really want to visit Victoria, Vancouver etc the next time we're out there. I just wish we could get our bikes out there!
Morning, Robert! I’m in Seattle (pretty close to Triumph of Seattle) and have a 2019 Speed Twin. It’s a terrific bike; the sports version of the Bonneville. I know you aren’t into any speed/power upgrades, which is reasonable given the ST’s perky nature in Sport mode. It’s silly fun. Check out Arton Works’ replacement gauge faces, tho. I’ve found them to be a satisfying change, they are only $100, easy enough to install that even I could do it, and it’s surprising how much time you spend looking at your gauges. welcome!
