Triumph Speed Triple 1200 Rs
The Triumph Speed Triple 1200 Rs has a top speed of 260 km/h (estimated; Triumph does not publish an official figure), produces 180 hp and weighs 198 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.8/10.
De Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS werd in 2021 geïntroduceerd als een belangrijke evolutie van de iconische Speed Triple-lijn, die dateert uit 1994. De 1200 RS verving de vorige 1050cc-generatie en zorgde voor een aanzienlijke upgrade met een gloednieuwe driedubbele lijnmotor van 1160 cc, een lichter chassis en eersteklas Öhlins-vering, waardoor hij stevig in het segment van de naked superbikes werd geplaatst. Het wordt geroemd omdat hij brute prestaties combineert met dagelijkse bruikbaarheid en wordt algemeen beschouwd als een van de mooiste naked motorfietsen van de moderne tijd.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Öhlins Suspension Standard
The Speed Triple 1200 RS comes standard with fully adjustable Öhlins NIX30 forks and TTX36 rear shock — premium suspension typically reserved for track bikes. This significantly boosts both ride quality and resale value compared to competitors.
Watch for Throttle-By-Wire Glitches
Some early 2021-2022 owners reported occasional stuttering or hesitation in the ride-by-wire throttle system, often resolved via a dealer software update. Always verify the ECU firmware is current before purchasing a used example.
Strong Resale Retention
The Speed Triple 1200 RS holds its value exceptionally well due to limited production numbers and high demand, typically retaining 75-85% of its value after one year. Low-mileage examples with service records command near-new pricing on the used market.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"A serious streetfighter that rewards experienced riders buying smart."
$13,000-$17,500 usedThe Speed Triple 1200 RS is genuinely one of the most complete streetfighters money can buy used right now. That 1160cc triple pulls hard from basically anywhere in the rev range, and the Öhlins suspension setup front and rear means it actually handles as well as it looks aggressive. Triumph got the electronics package right too — six riding modes, cornering ABS, traction control that actually makes sense rather than killing your fun. It's genuinely usable every day without feeling sanitised. That said, go in with eyes open. Early 2021 examples had some fuelling hiccups at low speeds that dealers patched with software updates — always check the service history and confirm that's been done. The seat is properly terrible for anything over an hour, so budget for an aftermarket unit immediately. Also, these bikes attract owners who ride them hard, so inspect brake discs, chain, and sprockets carefully before handing over cash.
