So Mark’s chopping in his z900 for a Speed Triple RS today so we’re going to head down to swinden and pick up the new Bike here she is the speed triple 1200 RS Now Marx loved his Z 900 over 3 years and 20,000 Mi and he wouldn’t have wanted to spend that time on anything else however it’s time for a major service and new tires so it seemed a good time to swap things out Mark wanted better stopping power and suspension and
While things were only ever adequate on the z900 mark fancied a little bit of extra power while he still has the reaction times and presence of mind to use them he looked to this ed900 SE and the mto9 SP but he’s been there and done that with the Japanese brands and I

What do you guys think of the Speed Triple 1200 RS? Enjoyed making this one for you all….. Congratulations Mark – hope you enjoy the new bike!
Love to have a blast on one!
2 obvious issues with the 1200RS for me – if you're over 6 foot you look like you're on a Street Triple as the 1200 is tiny in real life! and they look pretty hedious without the front dash cowl. We have a couple of 1200RS videos coming on the channel soon, if anyone is interested in my thoughts 😁
