Cosmetic Mods
-Custom Paint job (gloss black with silver metal flake stripe down the center of the tank and seat and front fender. White pinstriping on tank, seat and side covers. The black paint has a purple metal flake underpaint that sparkles in the sunlight; very subtle and classy!

-Custom cafe fiberglass seat with storage compartment and embedded rear light- This alone cost me 2k! Now you don't have to worry about storing your wallet, phone, and other small accessories. The seat is a functional storage compartment. It's large enough that I can fit an iPad mini, sunglasses, wallet phone, gloves, goggles and other small accessories. Plenty of space! The seat is secured by 2 screws that slide into the holes of the seat pan. Once in place, the seat is secure and does not move. The seat frame was shortened and the fiberglass seat was built around it; truly a custom job. This gives the bike that classic cafe racer look!

2022 Triumph Speed Twin Review

Mon, 16 Aug 2021

A little more of everything, along with Euro 5 It was just about a year ago when we sampled Triumph’s reborn Speed Twin for the first time on home soil, in a two-bike standoff against a way-more-expensive optioned-out BMW R nineT. At the time, we were slightly underwhelmed and had to rate the new Speed Twin second, by a hair. 2022 Triumph Speed Twin Editor Score: 89.0% Engine 18.5/20 Suspension/Handling 13.0/15 Transmission/Clutch 9.0/10 Brakes 9.0/10 Instruments/Controls 3.5/5 Ergonomics/Comfort 9.5/10 Appearance/Quality 9.5/10 Desirability 8.5/10 Value 8.5/10 Overall Score 89/100 It was mostly a suspension thing; the Triumph’s old-timey 41mm cartridge fork and twin rear shocks couldn’t compete with the R nineT’s plush, adjustable setup.
