2025 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 Review – Better Bike, Worse Looks?

The 2025 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 is finally here – but is it still the classic roadster we know and love? In this video, I take a first ride on the updated Speed Twin and give you my honest thoughts. Having owned the previous model from 2019 until very recently, I know the Speed Twin inside out. So I was very curious (and slightly apprehensive) to see what Triumph had changed. The short version? It rides better than ever... but it doesn’t quite look like a Speed Twin to me anymore. Gone are the twin analogue clocks and hand-painted coach lines. In their place? Modern suspension, a TFT dash, and a slicker aesthetic. So have Triumph ruined the Speed Twin? Stick around and see what I think after my first test ride...
