Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS vs BMW R nine T Comparison

The 2021 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS is an all new model ground-up and it is positioned above the Street Triple RS as the company's flagship performance naked motorcycle. The new Speed Triple 1200 RS features an all-new 1,160 cc triple-cylinder engine which is 7 kg lighter than before. It makes 178 bhp at 10,750 rpm along with 125 Nm of peak torque coming in at 9,000 rpm. The new Speed Triple looks sharper, leaner and meaner than ever before! Boasting of an aggressive stance, the motorcycle now gets differently designed twin headlights along with embedded LED daytime running lights. Now, the motorcycle is expensive and doesn’t have much practical use, but if you do end up buying one, it will be a worthwhile investment.

The BMW R nineT is a beautiful looking modern classic motorcycle, with a perfect blend of the classic styling of old BMW motorcycles from the 1960s with the latest technological advancements of engineering and electronics. It gets an air-cooled boxer twin engine and offers solid performance. But it is heavy and the engine tends to heat up as well. Not to mention the high cost of ownership that is required.
