This is how it drives itself

Then up the cart and ignition. It's wonderful how lovingly Triumph receives the owner in the TFT display. The cockpit is really an eye-catcher and is also easy to read. Then engine on and a little reven. And there it is, the triple sound made by Triumph! Sounds similar to the RS, poisonous, aggressively hissing, like a big cat just before the jump. You can already guess what is about to happen on the motorway!

 

And that's exactly what happens: all hell breaks loose! How this machine goes forward is simply awesome. That doesn't feel like 180 hp, but 250. The motor turns out to be elastic and revving. There is hardly a speed at which he does not seem to feel comfortable. Especially the sprint from 100 to 200 km/h on the motorway is brutal (see test video chapter 7). Fortunately, the numerous assistance systems tame the machine and ensure that both wheels remain on the road. Otherwise, 50 percent of the drivers would probably get stuck on the tree during the test drive. That's really not an exaggeration: With hardly any other motorcycle we were as pleased about the technical helpers as here - and that as experienced bikers. The 1200 RR is neither an entry-level motorcycle nor a bike for medium-experienced riders: only experienced riders should sit here. So super athletes after all!
 
The semi-active chassis does a very good job and intervenes noticeably in the action. If you let it crash, the machine becomes taut and remains controllable. If you go around in the area, the chassis adjusts accordingly - first class! The Stylemas of Brembo also deserve praise. Anchoring has never been so easy! The combination of radial pump, 4-piston brake calipers and 320 double discs at the front also exude SuperSportler feeling. However, Volker was not quite so impressed by the braking effect of the rear-wheel brake, especially since the ABS control intervals are once again very long.

 

QuickShifter also works really well. You don't even have to pay attention to the QA rule upshift>up and slide-down>downshift. It works great in both directions, almost no matter at which speed. And now again briefly on the subject of sound: It is especially addictive when driving. When revving up from 5,000 to 10,000 UMins, not only does it go forward quickly, the whole Chose is also acoustically accompanied so impressively that you are actually only accelerating and braking - and again accelerating, braking, again! A glance at the vehicle registration document confirms this impression: 98db stationary noise. Tyrol died with it, but who wants to go to Tyrol with this bike?
