    Today I accompanied my wife :heart: to a test ride of the new Speed Twin 1200.
    After half an hour she came back.very satisfied and we had a financial chat with our beloved dealer.
    He will take back her Yamaha XSR 900 and exchange it to a white model of the new Speed Twin 1200. My wife ordered some Triumph addons. Heat grips, crash bars, a tank pad and an cover for the oil system. In a few days we will be able to pick it up.;)
    Now.my wife is back to her beloved 1200 ccm engine which she had in her former Bonnie. But this time with additional power! :party:

    Arriving back at the dealer after her first trial. You miss her smile on the photo! ;):D

    Hello!
    Great choice of bikes! I traded my MT-10SP for a speed twin 1200. I wanted to slow down a bit but still have some good exceleration. The speed twin does just that. LOVE IT!

    She did it!
    Yesterday my wife :heart: made her decision and had a fruitful telephone call with our dealer and ordered her new bike!
    It will be a white Triumph Speed Twin 1200 with some add-ons.
    - heated grips
    - original crash bars
    - cruise control
    - tank pad
    In about one week the bike should be available with all papers.;)
    The dealer will also take her Yamaha XSR 900. Therefore she has only to pay the difference between the two bikes.
    During the call a funny situation occurred.
    The dealer asked her about the milage off the Yamaha. After she told him +24.000 km the dealer was a bit speechless. :D "You bought the Yamaha last year in May in our store and now +24.000 km ?!?" Some seconds of silence followed. :p"Yes, that's us. We use our bikes intensive." - Now we are looking forward to receive her new bike.

    Congratulations to your wife on her new bike!! I bet she can't wait to receive it - I love her colour choice :heart_eyes:. It's always weird when people are surprised at putting high mileage on a motorcycle - like you both, we have ours to ride them, often!

    Fantastic!

    I have lusted over the speed twin 1200 for a long time, but the local roads are not kind to a bike with not much suspension travel.

    Mi current bike is 9 months old and has 32,000 km

    The tiger took a long time to sell , mostly due to the number of km , 3 yr old bike with 66000km

    That is what bikes are for, right?

    @Markus It looks a beautiful bike. Just love that colour scheme. And @MrsMarkus. Do enjoy the new toy. You will have to keep the old man of it in case he gets it dirty.
