That's really kind, thank you. Got a new camera for christmas so I can't wait to get out and do some more.

Thanks man, I've got a lot more planned for this summer.

Thanks for your interest, I'll try not to waffle. Well first thing that i'm sure you're aware of would be the much lower HP for the Street Twin, which you will notice the first time you want to overtake something, it would just require a bit more planning than you need for the easy pull of the S2 (i'm assuming you have the 800 not the 1000 otherwise the difference will be compounded). As for the ride quality, the S2 has a fairly sporty position, leaning forward with those wide bars, where as the Street Twin is far more relaxed and upright. It will happily plod along the motorway at 70 but on open roads you will notice a trail off of power in high revs with only 5 gears, so it will feel a lot smaller. But when you get to some twisty roads, the Street Twin is really smooth and enjoyable, it's not raucous, you won't be beating your best times considering it's maximum lean angle and riding style, but it is really fun and you'll be well in the sweet spot for revs, and the fact that it is so low will probably make you feel like you're going as fast when you aren't so you can have much more fun at slower speeds, you'll finish your ride satisfied but not stressed. The brakes are definitely better on the S2 though, 4 piston dual disk Brembos beat single disk 2 piston Nissins easily. Hope that helps.

Thanks. It's one of my favourite roads.

Thanks. Absolutely, I'm hoping to get a go on the Guzzi as soon as the weather allows, probably wont be for a month or two though.

I don't know about range i'm afraid, I only did about 10 miles on it but my MPG was saying 67.4 on the screen. Another review I've seen said they were averaging about 58 MPG with two full panniers and a heavier rider than me if that helps.

captainengland I've only put about 1300 miles on mine but it's getting 54ish mpg if I recall correctly. It's pretty impressive, actually.

Thanks for the encouragement. Can't wait to start recording some more material in the Summer. The jacket is a Richa Memphis and I think I bought if from Moto Legends for £250 if that helps.

I'm jealous

Thanks man, every subscriber helps.

Yes it is. Everything was completely stock.

Short answer is no.

yeah I use an external lapel mic in my helmet and digital audio recorder and sync it in post. just bought some new equipment ready for the summer though so it'll improve further.

Yeah this was one of the first things I was ever able to review, I've improved my set up a little but sound is always gonna be a tricky one. Thanks for the comment.

Yes, if possible better voice audio would be appreciated. Just want to be able to understand what your are saying. Too much wind making it's way into your helmet?

Thanks bud. If we're talking differences between a new T100 and the Street Twin then there's not a lot of change. The T100 is a bigger plusher version if you like but you'll pay an extra £800 pounds for it. It has the same engine which i think is even tuned very similarly and gives 1 extra horsepower but it has slightly different dimensions, a slightly bigger rake and trail which promotes better stability at high speed but i doubt you'd notice it. It has a larger tank, weighs 15KG more dry, comes with a rev counter and spoke wheels. In effect it is a slightly bigger, heavier, more grown up, slightly less nimble version with some nicer style cues (depending on your taste) and more kit (nicer clocks). If you're looking at an older T100 then there are many more differences and i would side with the newer Street Twin. Hope that helps.

Tim Aitken-Smith Thanks a lot man. I am only 5.7". I think the lighter street twin would be better for me. Your help was invaluable mate. Thanks again.

Vikram Venkatesh the T100 is quite a bit heavier than the Street Twin (213kg v 198kg). The chassis is the same as the T120 but with the 900cc engine as per the Street Twin. Also "only" has the single front disc like the Twin, whereas the T120 has dual front discs

Martin Trainer Thanks for your input mate!!

I would love to if I can find a local dealer to visit but that may be a ways off, sorry.

Thank you kindly. I'd be interested to hear which you choose after the ride.

And so which bike did you choose?

North Wales, close to Abergele.

Thank you.

I'm finishing the edit on the Street Triple and then I need to plan some for the spring when the frost's gone. Bobber and Thruxton are first on the agenda I think.

It's a Richa Memphis jacket. Not sure they still do it but you might be able to pick up something similar online somewhere.

@@RarefiedRoad Oh nice, good to know. The gloves are pretty sick, too eh, who are they by?

54 break horsepower and 59 foot pounds of torque.

Tough one. Well I now own a street triple so that should tell you how much I like that particular model, but for the sheer charm and fun of it I actually preferred the street twin.

It's a tough one for sure. I've got a Street Triple R but I think the Twin is probably more suited to me. The rave reviews and 'shove' of the Triple makes it difficult to trade in, I can't decide. I like your reviews, nice and straight forward, have subscribed.

Thank you. Agreed, I've got a 2009 Street triple R that I don't get to ride as much as I'd like so realistically I should sell it but I find it really hard to part with. If I had the money I would certainly have a Street twin in the garage though, it's a pretty charming ride.

Thanks, it's one of my favourite roads and favourite bikes if I'm honest.

Quite possibly. If I was over 6 foot I'd probably get the street scrambler instead

Cheers.

Thats very kind, thank you. I am very new to it so i'm trying to ride as many things as i possibly can, definitely need to go back and try some bench mark bikes as well for comparison.

Thanks, I agree. Hoping to get one for next year.

No after trying a few more since I wouldn't call it light either
