Triumph Speed Triple 1200
The Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS was introduced in 2021 as a major evolution of the Speed Triple lineage, which originally debuted in 1994 as one of the first modern naked streetfighters. The 1200 RS replaced the previous 1050 engine with a new 1160cc inline-triple producing significantly more power, featuring a sleeker design with twin under-seat exhausts and advanced electronics. It is notable for being one of the most technologically advanced naked bikes in Triumph's lineup, winning numerous awards and praised for its blend of raw performance and everyday usability.

What Buyers Should Know
Strong Resale Value
The Speed Triple 1200 holds its value exceptionally well compared to competitors, typically retaining 75-80% of its value after the first year due to strong brand loyalty and limited depreciation on flagship Triumph models.
Watch the Throttle Bodies
Some early 2021-2022 models reported throttle body sync issues causing rough idle and hesitation, so always request full service records and verify if the dealer-issued software update has been applied.
Titanium Exhaust Standard
The RS variant comes with a lightweight titanium Öhlins-equipped package from the factory, a feature that typically costs thousands as an aftermarket addition and significantly boosts both performance and resale appeal.
