Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS vs Ducati Diavel 1260 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 Diavel 1260 S with its updated engine, new chassis and electronics make for a sporty package with solid performance that will have you grinning from ear to ear every time you whack open the throttle. The relaxed ergonomics of a cruiser, enough firepower to scare you silly, and the riding dynamics of a sportbike. That level of versatility is what makes the new Ducati Diavel 1260 very, very appealing.
