QUICKSPIN I 2021 TRIUMPH SPEED TWIN
P92
Running Light. Nighttime vision
is decent enough on the Speed
Twin, although I'll admit to being
spoiled of late having had the
Kawasaki H2 SX SE+ at the same
time. But considering there's only
one headlight and no cornering
lights, the Speed Twin lights up
the road pretty well.
Overall, I enjoyed my time on
the Speed Twin, but the small size
of the bike means it's not for me.
Despite this, riders shorter than
me will love it as the Speed Twin
offers snappy performance mixed
in a retro suit that appeals to way
more people than just your average
motorcyclists.
CN
Good front-end feel
means you can hustle
the Speed Twin
along at a fair clip.
