Conclusion - what sticks

Motorcycling is fun! If you don't know that yet, you should take a quick lap with the new Speed Triple RS 1200. Whether country road, motorway or even race track: This bike always lets you tile through the area with a big grin under the helmet.
 
Despite the many technical delicacies, it is an accessible bike - although of course you should approach every ride with respect because of the brute performance. Nevertheless, the precise chassis and the correspondingly scalpel-like handling exude a lot of confidence. With the 1200 RS, Triumph has really succeeded in creating an extremely good naked bike, which is also very well priced in the competitive environment due to the offer. Definitely test drive, but first check the account balance for safety's sake. Otherwise prefer to stay at home ...
