Hi all: New owner of a spanking red 2019 Speed Twin. Started riding on a Royal Enfield as a teenager in India, went dormant for decades, then resumed again some years ago on a Honda Rebel 500 in sunny California. RE has been cranking out them bikes in the meantime and I test rode their Intercepter 650 a year ago. It rides well, but I couldn't care too much for that cafe rider position and am glad I passed on it. Decided to add the Speed Twin (instead of upgrading to the new Honda Rebel 1100) and I love it already. This is one beautiful motorcycle. Please respond and don't be shy to let me know that I indeed belong to a special club. After all, you are in it! News flash: Just read that the EU has imposed 50%+ tariffs on HD bikes.
Saw the news about HD today too - doubt it’ll stick though. I think it was in retaliation to some of the last presidents trade moves.
Welcome to the forum and to Triumph World, too! That's a beauty of a bike you bought. Hope you enjoy it and that you enjoy this forum, too.
lovely mate. (although I have developed a wee thing for that Rebel1100 DCT... a real sleeper, as is the Speed Twin to a certain extent) Enjoy!
