👌

Hi Kenn, no worries at all about the few miles on the RR, it is a beautiful work of art that I think is worth the money just to look at!! Nice you have treated your self, love the Thruxton RS as well. Good point on the electronic suspension with the RR being softer in road mode, that is a benefit for sure. Many thanks and same you. All the best

@@redangrevival sorry ingot a little long winded. Had a couple ale's. Yap yap yap haha

@@TriumphLover Haha all good, I have just started 🍻

Hi Brian, many thanks I appreciate that and glad you enjoy the channel 👍 I just love the looks of the RR, however if it where my own money I would have the RS, just better on road! Cheers

Hi Alex, yes I would love to try out the 1050RS 👍 Perhaps that more mid range torque would make it better for on road riding. I LOVE the looks of the RR, but I agree, don't think they will sell too many of them (too expensive) and the RS makes more sense for riding on the road. Cheers

@@redangrevival Angus, Thanks for your reply. The RR seems very much like a Marmite bike, you either love it or hate it. Sadly I think I am one of the latter on reflection . Don't get me wrong I did like the 1200RS, its handling reminded me of it's smaller sibling the Street Triple RS, so quick to turn and light, very flickable, but to enjoy it fully you really need to be on a track. The 1200 engine with QS is just so good, but for me I prefer the 1050RS as it feels to me a better bike for the road. 148bhp is more than enough. it is still plenty fast enough It seems to hsve more low down torque, well it felt that way to me when I rode them back to back last summer. Maybe I should venture your way and you can have a go on mine? Failing this there must be a dealer/bike shop near you who has a nice s/h one available for you to ride so you can do a definitive comparison. How about Blade themselves? If I wanted semi active electronic suspension , rather than the Triumph Speed 1200RR, I would go for the KTM SDR 1290 3.0 EVO or the Aprilia Tuono 1100 Factory, probaby the SDR actually, but for the moment my 1050RS is scratching my itch. Too many nice bikes to own and ride now. Life was never this complicated. ATB, Angus

You’re dead right, I’ve had my RS 5 months now and I decided to to 7000 rpm and omg it’s insane even in road mode 😂 I love it

@@alexmorgan3435 Haha it is a real luxury having so many good bikes to choose from!! I have heard from other people as well that the 1050RS is a better road bike than the new models. I will try to get a ride on one locally, but failing that would love to take yours for a ride 👍 I really must try the Aprilia 1100!! 😁 Cheers

Do you think a tune will help that below 9000 the freaking thing is boring as hell I want instant power from the gecko that's one thing I hate about these liter bikes I hate that lag.

I understand, looks are so subjective though. I love the look of the RR!!! Would have it just to look at 😁 The RS not as bad looking in the metal, but not great!

@@redangrevival the RR looks 🔥

@@cocky_potato 🤙

They are both beautiful

Disagreed. Its beautiful. In a world full of absolutely ugly bikes it is one of the few remaining lookers.

👌 Such a gorgeous bike, very jealous!! That is definitely a keeper. Enjoy

Thanks 👍 Have never ridden the 1050RS but have heard good things!

I've ridden both and IMO, I found the new RS better in almost every way. That said, the loaner 1050 I had for a month remains the excellent bike that made me buy the 1200RR.

Agree. That's why I got a 1050RS. More low down shove and a slightly more compliant ride

👍 a stunning bike! Sounds like you have set yours up nicely, bet she sounds great as well 😁 Hope your suspension set up is not too stiff. Cheers

Many thanks Kenn, I really appreciate that 🙌 Glad you enjoyed the video, all the best and have a great bank holiday. Cheers

Ah now I must ride one of those!

Certainly a good sign of a good bike when you see lots of them 👍 Really impressive bikes!! Such quality in every department. Would get some miles under your belt before considering one of these haha

Yes probably a bit naughty for me😈

Yes they are terrible roads! Great bike though

Haha they are very pricey, but I suppose if you compare it to a Harley then it is relatively cheap!! I personally think if any bike can justify its price it is these. They are so good haha. The best of the best components etc... and the quality finish is better than most. But agreed I would rather have a Speedmaster and a Royal Enfield Interceptor 👍

@@redangrevival Definitely live in a pricey world and it appears to be getting worse! Anyway, onwards and forward Angus my good man :-))

👍 I think you made a great decision! Especially from your back ground of riding. The RS is much nicer to ride on the road. Enjoy

Good use of the different modes 👍 OK I may have been getting carried away when saying it was comfortable!! Better than I thought is what I should have said, good for a very sports focused bike. If it was too comfortable then you would be making sacrifices in other areas. Great bike

@@redangrevival yeah definitely I agree when you ride it like a road bike it’s ok but you can feel it wants to do some more advanced stuff like when you lean it over it’s like “ aha yes yes let’s try for a 65 degree lean angle at the next roundabout “ 🤣🤣

@@pcarts232 😂 Definitely has some track pedigree in its DNA!

They are expensive bikes, and definitely packed with all the "tech"! I think the RR will be massively limited on sales just due to its price. Suppose the RS competes with the likes of Ducati etc... so they can justify the price.

Have you seen the current deals on the RR from Triumph? They’re clearly struggling to shift them.

@@SBKPete I haven't but that is music to my ears! Would love one.

Hi Scott, I am trying my best to get a ride on the Scram!! 👍 Will definitely do a comparison of the 2 soon. Cheers and enjoy your test rides.

Haha that is good to hear! Was getting a bit frustrated 👍

@@redangrevival ezee when you know how! 😉

@@benkelly2190 😂

Fair enough, I agree on the suspension side. I didn't find the throttle jerky at all!! Nice comfortable riding position and smooth at low speed I thought. Who cares what it is like in town really haha It is a fantastic bike 👍

Its more than fine in the city. IThe suspension is fully adjustable and is fine once set up and it is a little unhappy at low speeds but nothing especially bad. The turning radius? You can turn it almost on its axis ... just like any other bike if you know what you are doing ... you can turn it on the spot if you know more and are a bit reckless.

Hahaha

Must admit I haven't ridden the 1050RS, but that sounds too harsh setup to me. I suppose it is adjustable so you can soften it up somewhat. I think the pick out of the new models is the RS, not too hard out of the box suspension.

Sorry I cannot recall what the setting was on. I really don't think it is a too stiffly damped bike as standard

Apologies I cannot say exactly!! Certainly not straining the engine 😁 Plenty of rev range left.

😂 Hopefully you don't end up in a hedge!! Although I have not ridden the s1000r I get what you mean, the triple engine just adds that extra bit of character to the bike 🤟 Enjoy

Still got my RS , just in for its first service and tbh even though I don’t absolutely love it it’s just got something about it that makes me want to keep it ! 😂 it’s probably the engine, I had a sit on the V2 Ducati and the Streetfighter but they just don’t have the “ soul” of the Triumph even the the Triumph is a bit ugly but I’m no supermodel so we’re a good match 😂👍🏾👍🏾so for now I’m gonna keep it 👍🏾

I’ve had my RS for almost a year now and I swear I’ve STILL not taken it above 7000 RPM 😂!!!

Horses for courses! Yes I suppose it could be seen that way around 👍

@@redangrevival first Speed Triple...1994. Many generations since then and I have owned most if not all of them. Until the 1200...no fairings...nothing other than double headlights. Nuff said. Just picked up a new 2022 1200 today. RS.

👍👌👍
