Great review again Freddie! I went from a T100 to a T120 back to a 900cc engine in the Street Scrambler. My personal experience is that the 900 twin is more fun and playful to ride with without sacrificing too much power on the longer straights. One thing to add to your review that could be a benefit to potential buyers of the Street Twin: it does come with tubeless tires I contrast to the rest of the bunch!

Give this man a glass of water and he will say " this has to be the most astonishing confluence of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen to put down my throat, the most beautiful and stunning gulp"

I loved sport bikes until I walked into a Triumph dealer, I sat on the bikes felt the controls, scheduled a test drive and fell in love.

It's taken me ages to find a comprehensive review of a pillion foot rest click . . . but finally, here it is!! 😁 Seriously though, another great review.

You stated what other people dont understand. Its not about speed and how it corners but about quality of ride, comfort and build quality. A very sensible bike. Love the report

About eight months ago I watched this video while trying to decide whether or not to buy a Speed Twin 900 as my first bike. Your review convinced me that the bike is just as good as it looks, so I bought one. Still so happy with that decision! Had the bike for seven months now, and I'm still absolutely in love with it :D

My Street Twin 900 is my dream bike and my forever bike - and I own it!

Thank you Freddie! I love my Twin 900 so much. It has got so much range, such useable power and build like a Rolex watch. It won't break any speed records, but it gives me the most joy to ride out of all my motorcycles. My longest ride was 900km on a single day, without getting tired. Can't say that about my Tiger 660.

This is one of the first videos I watched of yours. I got so inspired that i went out and got the very same bike. Have been enjoying it since. A spot on review and a great machine. Cheers from Canada

I cannot stress enough how capable these bikes are. I took mine across Europe and up and down Pyrenees mountains and it took it all in its stride. I had a pillion passenger and combined over 100L of luggage, yet it has so much grunt that I didn't even notice it. It may be entry level but this is up there for what it costs. I have lots of bikes on my wish list, but if I had to be stuck with this forever I'd be pretty happy.

After 60 years of riding everywhere on bikes of all sizes, I’ve just bought my first Triumph, the Speed Twin 900. I’m very impressed and this report describes it very well. What a great place for a test-ride! The last time I rode a bike in Tenerife was 1977, it was great then.

Since 2018 I'm the owner of a Street Twin 2016 (the first version, matt black, 55 hp) and this machine has 38.000km (~24.000 miles) on its clock now. It was my dream bike, it is still my dream bike and it will be my dream bike. I've replaced only the mirrors against bar end mirrors and the original crapy Pirelli Phantom tires against the far far better Avon Spirit ST. But I see, Triumph has learned. The new version has other (hopefully better) tires.

I said good bye to my Street Triple and bought a Street Scrambler, basically the same bike as the Speed Twin. Without a doubt the best bike I’ve owned/ridden, perfect for the alpine twisties where I live. The first time I clicked down the rear foot pegs I said in my head “Niiiice!” Too funny!

I have just bought the Steet Twin 900 2016 model, can't wait to ride it....... Your videos inspire others to do good things Freddie.....

I love this review. I own a 2022 Triumph Street Twin which is exactly the same bike with a different name. To put things in perspective, I'm 73 years old and my first motorcycle when I was 18 was a 1962 Triumph Bonneville. While my first Triumph was wonderful, it had many issues. The 2022 model, on the other hand, is everything my first bike should have been. When I went to my dealer I took a test ride and that was all it took. The style, the sound and the comfort immediately impressed my and I traded in my KTM 390 Duke. Everything in this review is true and accurate. If you enjoy riding a motorcycle simply for the joy of riding, there is no better motorcycle than a Triumph Bonneville.

Any negative comments just ignore them young man they are of no importance you just keep doing what you do with that beautiful young lady !!

Great to see you review the street twin Freddie, I bought this 4 months ago as my first full licence motorbike. I've got it in jet black which to me is the best looking version and I have to say I'm in love with it. To me this is my dream motorbike with the perfect amount of power for me. Although it was a bit of a stretch for me to afford I just went for it. My only problem with it is that I worry about keeping it perfect too often, which can subtract from my enjoyment. I must simply get past that and just enjoy it, I have many great trips planned on it for the spring and summer. Take care!

Great review! I have gone from a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 to a 2021 Bonneville T100 and I must say, I am really enjoying the quality shift between the two. Love this channel, there’s no reviewer like Freddie Dobbs!

I have been eagerly awaiting your review of the Speed Twin 900 and you did not disappoint! I own this bike immediate predecessor, the Street Twin. She’s my first bike and I could not be more happy. Definitely a forever bike. This bike has so many quality options to customize and make it your own. After two years of riding I still get excited seeing her when I step into my garage. Without fail I always look back after parking. Your assessments are spot on. Thanks for the fantastic content! Happy Holidays!

Speed Twin 900 Review I just got a Speed Twin 900 as my 1st motorcycles 🏍️. It is absolutely awesome, I am 45 years old, 5ft 8inches. This motorcycle has Great 👍🏽 Ergonomics to sit and drive High Torque which makes it FUN to drive Easy to handle Superb Sound better than the 1200 Best Looking

Speed Twin 900 Review I just got a Speed Twin 900 as my 1st motorcycles 🏍️. It is absolutely 👍🏽 love ❤️ it 💯 awesome, I am 45 years old, 5ft 7inches. This motorcycle has Great 👍🏽 Ergonomics to sit and drive High Torque which makes it FUN to drive Easy to handle Superb Sound better than the 1200 Best Looking BTW if you looking for the 1200, please ensure you do a test ride a lot as it has radiator heat issues and it blows hot 🥵 air on your legs 🦵

Great review! Thanks Freddie! I’ve just picked up my 2023 spec Speed Twin 900 in the exact same colour, but added a few extras. Looking forward to many miles when it’s dry again 👌🏼😎

I have the 2022 version of this bike (Street Twin) and absolutely love it. I tried some of the other contenders you mentioned and I liked this one the best. No regrets at all. 'Entry Level'? Bah, I'm enjoying it too much to care.

Hi Freddie, Great review. I have the last of the Street Twin 900, picked it over the T100 because of price, weight and 4 piston calliper front breaks. Only complaint is the fuel tank is a little small on long rides. The engine torque still puts a grin on my face every time I open the throttle from around 2500 RPM.

I can confirm what you say about knowing within a minute the insane quality of this bike. I had planned on buying the Kawi Z650RS as my first bike until this past weekend. I test road a 2019 Street Twin/Speed Twin900, and boy oh boy withing seconds i had the hugest grin on my face. I pulled back around after about 3 minutes of riding and told the guy "that's all I need to see". Then bought it on the spot. Its got 2500 miles and is in immaculate shape. Good god I love this bike. Its immensely stable. Power wise??? This bike has some balls!! Great video Freddie!

Great review! I went from a 150cc minibike as my learner to a 2019 Street Twin as my big bike. Love it to bits, and so happy I decided on it. Out of all the bikes I looked at, I feel like this "entry level" Bonneville is exactly what a modern day motorcycle should be: Classy, classic, just the right amount of powerful, comfortable, reliable. For everything else, there's all the other equally stunning and strong Bonnevilles. But for me, if there was one motorcycle left on earth, it oughta be a Street Twin, still purring and going strong.

Great review Freddie! Again you have brought sunshine to a grizzly, cold Sunday morning in England. Your passion exudes for motorcycles like no other channel. Yeah, recently had to replace the right passenger foot peg on a 955. It’s a small locating ball bearing that makes that delicious click.

I honestly don't understand why u aren't huge. Ur reviews are at the threshold of being art. U can't look away until the video is over, and it makes u think about it later still. Ur so good at being honest and critical. In general for ur reviews. Sometimes I just watch ur reviews of other bikes for no reason, because ur so enjoyably good at it. I was introduced to this bike and thought wow, but wasn't sure. Ur video sold me. Purchased the speed twin not long after. Hope u the best!

You are Awesome! I love my Bonn 900! It is everything I need. The torque is AWESOME!!❤

Rode a new speed twin 1200 about five months ago, what a fantastic bike. What I like most about it was the instant low-end power, and the handling, amazing!

I have this exact same Speed twin 900 from the color and the bar end mirrors (mine is the sportier triangular-ish shape). I absolutely love it. Every time I go out somebody is going to ask me about it. I love the attention I’m getting 😂

Entry level , raced motocross from 8yrs old , I’m middle aged now and just selling my 180bhp bike and buying one of these

I had a 2018 the older model Street Twin. They upgraded it in 2019, Now the upgrade is just a name change. I chose the Street Twin, it was the best price, As my first bike in 30 years. I was a little concerned by the 900 which to me back in the day was a big bike. Much bigger than my last bike. I really like the bike it reminded me of the bikes I used to ride back about 1980's. rather than a 1960 I liked the tubeless mag wheels. I liked the exhaust rather than the pea shooter T style. The one on the floor was red had some extra bling i dint really care about and was available right away. So I left with it. The high torque is important. Its very easy to ride and very forgiving of mistakes. Only 5 gears. not really a problem, It took me three years to max out the throttle in 5th. I plead the 5th of actual speed and location. In any location I ride most was certainly not socially acceptable. Loads of real world power at legal and reasonably sane speeds. Anytime you want it just twist and go. I rode 500mile days regularly. Because it was fun. I never felt the need to upgrade. It was my bike I was happy. Some SOB stole it this summer. and wrecked it. Finding a good used one is hard they sell quickly. They are popular for a reason. I got a good settlement because they hold tier value well. Hard to decide what to replace it with. Same again? Other classic? None of the others just quite fit my budget or desire. Down side of the 900 I was in the same insurance bracket as a R1000. The 1200 Speed Twin is in the next one up which is even worse. Engine size, Insurance doesn't make sense. In the end I decided to try something completely different. I really liked the Street Twin. It was fantastic just round town or my rural country roads. My wife seams to accept the idea of me getting a replacement classic. When I have the spare cash. A Street or Speed Twin 900 is the front runner for what I want. 90% of the time. In the meantime, I have to make do with a just used GS. If budget limits rule get a BSA or RE. They are much cheaper to by and insure. I will wait until I can get a Speed Twin 900. The T'900 is very very similar, slightly taller, more expensive version.

I really love this channel. You can always create pleasant content. Never trivial. Amazing images and such a great love for motorcycles that you transmit from every video. Thank you😊

Superb content with a high concentration of quality ....great technical detailing regarding how it performs in certain terrains is just another level..

Just got into motorcycling and your channel is a god sent! Thanks so much for all the great content!

This guy was made for these reviews! Super inspired by his enthusiasm! Thanks for the review!

I have a 2021 T100 and it's lovely. We did look at the "Street Twin" as it was called then but decided on the T100 for it's extra bling etc. Also, the seat is a bit longer on the T100 which provides slightly more room for a pillion, We also tested the T120 but the 900 cc bikes handled more sweetly thanks to the single disc providing less gyroscopic mass. The fuelling on the 900cc bikes is much better too, thanks to the single throttle body. OK, they have one gear less (5) and some say they sound a bit "busy" at motorway speeds, but at 70mph it's running at 3500 rpm which is the perfect torque sweet spot so economy is really good.

Love my 2018 T100. Great bike: nimble and fun in the twisties. No plans to change to another bike.

Hi guys...loved this...and this bike is a sweet spot. For sure. What I don't get is the idea that a 900cc motorcycle could be a beginner's bike. Entry level maybe...but into a particular segment. Uh oh...veering in my mind towards "back in the day" when we grew up on Honda SL100s and Suzy TS125s and graduated to 250s. The madder and monied teens bought Yammy 360s...and the insane Kawasaki 500s. Then Honda 500s and one mate a 500/4. 900cc beyond imagination. Until we saw a Kawi 900. Our jaws dropped. And bought the cheapest cars we could...cos life. I'd take changing gears constantly, and light handling any time over occasionally cumbersome. No matter the distance. Travel safe guys. Love from NZ as always.💙

Great review Freddie, I’ve had this same bike (Street Twin) for six years. It’s a joy to ride 👍🏻

Love Freddie’s enthusiasm. Every bike he reviews I want to buy. Never seen anyone review a pillion foot peg!

Fantastic review, Freddie. All the relevant information was shared and the editing and camera work were brilliant. Well done. This bike is definitely a real beauty.

Love Freddie’s content. I live on the Isle of Harris and I’m planning on doing a UK road trip next next year and will probably be looking for a new bike. Watching these vids inspires me and excites me to get the ball rolling. Probably my favourite channel on KZfaq.

I've watched several of your videos now Freddie, the first one was your RE Super Meteor video. I nearly hit the subscribe button several times since but it is this video, which not only show-cases the bike excellently, this video also show-cases your intellectual way of reviewing a bike and the way in which you communicate & convey the details to we, the viewers. On the strength of this and the brilliant info' you departed, I'm subscribing immediately after finishing this comment. Thank you for doing such a great job, that goes to Monika too, of course. 🙂

I have this one new in my garage for some weeks waiting for better weather in europe... Cant wait to start the season 😍😍😍💛💛💛

Freddie manages to answer all of your questions about the bike like a good friend. Tells it straight, but with charisma and charm.

I've ordered my speed twin 900 chrome edition, I'm anxious. It'll be landing on january 22th. I can 't wait to ride it.

beautifully edited and informative. this gave me the extra confidence to buy my own speed twin 900. thank you Freddie.

Absolutely love mine. The dealer was adamant I’d made the right decision and they weren’t wrong. So much fun, and supreme quality.

When you said telepathic I understood exactly what you mean. There are some bikes which are so comfortable to handle, move and they eventually look like your friend or a part of you. I had a 110CC Bike which was so good to handle , go around … I miss it

I have the same bike and you describe it perfectly. Has to be said this new bike has the Michelin Classic tyres which will have made a big difference to the ride over the previous Pirelli’s. Instantly noticed the change when I changed mine to Avon tyres.

Good review Freddie, I own one and it’s a great quality bike, the only thing that I would prefer is twin clocks like the T100 it would be perfect then.

Such a great review , enjoyed every second of it. Beautiful occasion as well!

I don't understand the word "entry",i can spend my whole life with a motorcycle like this, beautiful and smooth... greetings Freddie and Monica...

Hi , nice one Freddie , and yes a well balanced bike , even in the 60,s very nimble . Thanks for the sunshine 😉 Thumbs up to Monika 👍 for the cat wild life . Catch you both on the next one .

Brilliant vid Freddie, love the bike , I’ve been riding bikes for 46 yrs , my son now 20 just bought a triumph street scrambler 900, just passed his A2 test, had the bike restricted A2 complient, I rode the bike and it put a massive smile on my face, these 900cc triumphs are brilliant, any young person passing there A2 test must have a look at these bikes, well done triumph, awesome 👍

Great review Freddie - thank you for your comprehensive and engaging report, with unique soundtrack. Although not retro, I own a Tiger Sport 660 and the absolutely love it. The Triumph attention to detail really is a triumph, and you have certainly amplified this in your Tenerife vlogs.

Great content as always. You should host a tv show or something else to approach a greater audience. Just bought my first motorbike (Triumph Street scrambler sandstorm) after I’ve been watching nearly all your videos. Big fan of your and Monica’s work. Greetings from Germany

Well done. I always like watching your reviews. Entertaining, informative and relaxing. I am considering adding one of these to the stable. One thing that I just noticed, talking about quality, is that this bike looks like it has a real automotive style horn on the left side. That is certainly an upgrade compared to the majority of the round cartoonish style horns that come on most bikes. One of the first and easiest mods I did on my 21 Moto Guzzi V7 850 was to swap out the horn to a Freeway Blaster so that people could actually hear me. Thank you.

I own the 2022 street twin in cobalt blue. It’s my very first motorcycle, and I’m loving it.

Great work again Freddie and Monika - thoroughly enjoyed watching that in the sunshine here in Gran Canaria! Great bike the Speedie 900….as indeed is it’s bigger (lighter!) brother, the 1200. Have a great Christmas both of you and here’s to a great biking 2023!

Beautiful filming and editing Mon!! Well Done F! Looking v cool. Happy Days. 👌I noticed Mon managed to get a puss cat in there 😻

Thanks Freddie for the detailed review. I got my answer what I was looking for when you said "you had a six hour ride on this and you were feeling still very fresh" . I am 5' 10" and looking for a bike for city and some long rides as well. I think speed twin 900 is the perfect one!

Great review Freddie, I came across your channel at the beginning of the year and the enthusiasm you showed for your Triumph led me to buy a 2019 street twin. I sold my last bike to pay for my honeymoon 32 years ago and haven’t really ridden since, so the 900 cc engine was a bit daunting, but after a 2 hour test ride from Fowlers in Bristol my worries just evaporated and I’m left with a smile on my face every time I take it out. I had the pleasure of chatting to you about it at the Bikeshed show in London in the summer and you told me I had chosen a splendid bike- and you are spot on! And you didn’t mention the 70+ mpg which is easily achieved. Superb.

Nice to hear an experienced Triumph rider's view on the ST900. I've got one arriving in just under 2 weeks - the 24MY competition green/phantom black version. At test ride I was amazed at how low down the weight is carried and the torque gives you most of what you would ever need as a 'medium speed' rider. I tried to get a ST1200 at the worst possible period (as they were changing from Euro 4 to 5 and around covid time). I couldn't get one up here in the frozen north, so bought an 1100 Ducati Scrambler as - what proved to be - a stop gap. Three years later I am (almost) going back to plan A.......the difference being I now have a Z900RS as well, so don't necessarily need the extra power of the 1200. The ST900 saved me a chunk of money and had a very low 'price to change' part-exing the Ducati. I'm hoping for many nice runs out on this. Keep the videos coming Freddie, your style is very nice and different to many, making them all worth watching. Good luck with the Bonny rebuild!

Fantastic video. Did tons of research and finally bought a 2023 Speed Twin 900 yesterday. So happy and this machine is a beast! I like the comment about a “thinking man’s/woman’s bike” - it did take a lot of consideration and agreed: has everything I needed (including the digital tach which was a nice surprise) and not missing a thing. Love your videos!

Very good Freddie and Monica. Beautiful bike, beautiful roads and beautiful places. Tenerife is the paradise🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇨

My son just bought this bike. I took it out for a spin. I completely agree with your review. The bike looks and feels like a very refined, very high quality machine. Good power, fantastic sound, very nice handling, and style for days.

I HAVE A 2010 T100 AND REALLY PLEASED WITH IT, I HAVE OWNED TONS OF BIKES OVER THE YEARS AND THIS ONE IS GREAT, A KEEPER.

I spent 2 years before C19, touring Spain with campervan & Street Twin. Great fun. I traded the Stret Twin for a Speed Twin. Different bike altogether. Being 5'6" and of mature years, I find the Speed a bit tall & a bit heavy, brilliant bike tho. I missed the Street Twin, so I've bought a 2016 model to play with, intend to bling it up ready for summer. So when the sun shines I'm lucky to have the choice of 2...!

Excellent review, it gave me a comprehensive insight into the handling of the bike without the endless technical jargon. Bigger is not always better.

I owned a street twin for 2 Years and nearly 20000km and I loved it! I love that 900 ccm motor. The look is so much less old fashioned than the T100, or T120. I always had a big smile in my face, when I rode it and so had the people I drove by. It was exactly, what I always dreamt of, when I was young. But after two years of riding, I realized, that it was a bit too small for me and I sold it for a Tiger 800. I love the seating position on the Tiger, but man, I miss that sound and the look of that beautiful bike...

my dream bike, hope one day I can save enough money to buy this piece of beauty!

Had my speed twin 900 18 months now,just love it.

Funny just 2 days ago I was trying to sort the differences between the Speed Twin, Street Twin and Speed Master. All bikes I'd love to have and another fantastic video. Cheers!

Mines a 2018 Street Twin, all standard apart from centre stand, flyscreen, power socket, rack & topbox - all OEM. Absolute joy to ride on any road. Downside - the main loom has a tendency to pinch & chaff on the left hand side of the headstock which I have managed to rectify on mine by filing back the rear of the headlamp bracket & cable tying the loom into a better position. Have heard of some bikes suffering total electrical failure due to this, worth checking if you own one.

Was looking for random reviews when I came across your channel, and I'm so glad I did. I think your passion for bikes is tremendous and sincere and it shines through in this video. Subscribed!

Another great review Freddie, it’s a really nicely proportioned machine, I always love the way that Monica always manages to sneak a cat 🐈 into the videos, keep em coming

Nice review, thanks. I think the 900ccm Models are so underrated, especially here at Germany. I own a T120, a friend of mine owns the Street (Speed) Twin 900. Sometimes we change the bikes. I is absolutely ridiculous how much easier you can ride the Street Twin. The Sound is also better than on the T120 (out of stock). Nice bike, but there one thing I miss: the 6th gear.

In 2018, one after the other, I tried the street twin, liked it. Then the T100, liked it a bit more. Then the T120, which I bought. The step up in quality of each model was quite noticeable. The T120 felt a lot more refined and smoother than the other two. My riding has changed in these last couple of years and I’ve been looking at the interceptor, but a second hand street twin could well be a better option. Thanks for sparking the idea! 👍

Really enjoy your videos. I used to find that you like to labour the point but I now enjoy it.

Another great video.... Love how personal your videos are as opposed to just being a spec-readout. Thanks for all your hard work 🙏🙏...... Hope to see you riding the new Norton bikes and the Hunter 350 and Super Meteor 650 soon

You remind me of Paul Bettamy from the Knights Tale!! You’re Awesome, like the Street 900!

Really enjoyable, yet again. Happy Sunday morning.

Great review Freddie. You have a natural ability to capture the essence of a bike, and especially the Speed 900. Balanced and lucid comments. I'm purchasing a silver version, and so your review was very helpful. Thanks !

I just moved to Khon Kaen Thailand and there's a Triumph dealer in town that has a special going. I don't have a lot of experience on a street bike but I rode dirt bike in high School so I'm looking for something entry-level but built well and easy to handle or getting around town and on short trips. I'm six foot one so it may be a bit light for me but for getting road experience I think it will be easier to handle and I will get more confidence in learning to ride. I'm 56 and retired now. I may be a late bloomer but I've always dreamed of the freedom of the open road!! Thanks for the video, I'm now confident this is the right choice for me to begin my journey! ✌️😎

Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s Freddie and Monika

No one does bike reviews like Freddie.❤

Hi, Freedie! Thanks to your great review, I became a happy owner of a ‘23 Speed twin 900 in competition green. I am so happy with it! If you came to north Catalonia, in some of your trips, please, make a call and we’ll meet!

😊 great review, love your passion, I have this model, 1st one sold in august this year I absolutely love it, can see me doing 100k miles on this bike

This shows perfectly something we’ve already touched on. The speed twin’s wheelbase is only 2 inches longer than the interceptor, but the seat looks so much longer and more suitable for two up riding.

Morning Freddie will watch now been looking forward to this one

Freddie, I love your reviews. You make the bikes look like art. 🙂

Some folks will slag the power of 64 horsepower but I had a 865 aircooled Thruxton with only 55 rwhp and it hit 125 mph at Bonneville...seemed pretty fast too me. The bike looked and ran great after 10 years of riding. I've had big horsepower bikes and found that the better balanced lower horsepower bike ridden hard on the street is more fulfilling. Anything under 550 pounds and a under 100 horsepower works well for me.

Freddie, I just got that same Belstaff jacket for £90! Keep on bang the drum of buying riding gear in the winter on ebay 😁👌

Glad to see that Triumph still makes a quality Bonnie (this 900) relatively within the price range of every-day people. My 2001 Bonnie was, I guess, considered an "entry-level" Triumph back then-- and I'm still enjoying it today. Thanks for the video!

Excellent introduction Freddie!❤

Great review Freddie I don’t own a Triumph but if I did it would be the street twin! If I can nit pick I would love to see the iconic Triumph badge on the tank!

Another great motorcycle review, Freddie! However, being such a history buff, I am surprised you did not discuss this bike’s lineage, meaning the fact that it was the street twin up until 2023 and now it is the speed twin 900 and the speed twin is now the speed twin 1200. Also, what did you think of the rider foot peg positioning? You mentioned that you rode for five hours and were “fresh as a daisy”afterwards, but when I sat on the speed twins at my local Triumph dealer, I felt like they were just a bit too far back and “aggressive” for a comfortable riding position for hours at a time. I welcome your thoughts! Thank you Freddie and Monika for always making great videos! I look forward to my coffee and Freddie Dobbs video every Sunday morning here in the US.
