Conclusion - forever young
It is, of course, a toy, one for older children who want to (and can) spend at least 17,290 euros on their gift. Hear my words: Every penny of it is well invested!
Before I forget it: I have now studied the data sheet. The Duc is not only up to date in terms of engine and chassis, but also in terms of assistance systems: series are Wheelie Control, Curve ABS from Bosch, Traction Control, Ride By Wire and three driving modes ...
... not even this prejudice lasts more.
The test bike was provided to us by Ducati Hamburg.
Conclusion - what sticks
What a dream bike, the Speed Triple 1200RR! Above all, the engine and the chassis will remain in our memories. The sitting position, however, also: As I said, this is not for intervertebral disc victims or those who want to become one. Otherwise, the concept of the RR is relatively unique. Only the MV Agusta Superveloce pursues a similar approach: Optik café-racer, everything else racer-racer. In any case, we had a lot of fun with the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR.The test bike was provided by Triumph-Hamburg. If you fancy a test drive: There she stands as a demonstrator and looks forward to a lot of test drives, after all, that's what she's there for.
