I just discovered the Triumph Speed Twin (I know) and thought, that looks nice for cruising around Europe/UK on! Then watched some reviews and they all said it handles great, it’s fab and has loads of torque. So I went to the Triumph website and spec’d my own:
They don’t make panniers of their own but others do, some in-keeping with the retro vibe with wax finishes and others more modern and can probably carry more (I like panniers, enables roadtrips, work trips, etc).
I’ve been looking a these for a while now, just could’nt stretch to spending that much on a bike again. But I have also been looking at the Royal Enfield 650. Gets quite good reviews , and looks ok. Probably not as good as the Triumph though.
Single 220mm disc, Nissin 2-piston floating caliper, ABS
Instrument Display and Functions
LCD multi-functional instrument pack with analogue speedometer, analogue tachometer, gear position indicator, fuel gauge, range to empty indication, service indicator, clock, trip computer, scroll and mode buttons on handlebars, heated grip ready, fuel consumption display, traction control status and throttle mode display. TPMS ready.
Cracking bikes, I’ve bagged one for the summer (er, if we’re ever allowed outside again). The launch bikes had particularly binary throttles on them, so hope Triumph have smoothed that out for the bikes that hit the showrooms
It’s crying out for an R/RS model, with some blingier bouncy bits, radials, and a few other extras as standard
