My 2022 Speed Twin 1200 and my 2016 STR 675

Absolutely in love with both of these bikes!
Which would you keep if you could only keep one? I agonized between my inner hoodlum wanting the Triple 765 and my mature side wanting the Speed Twin 1200. Maturity won out in the end LOL. Yours are both beautiful bikes and I think you’ve figured it out with having both.
I recently parted with the Triple unfortunately. I put 25,000 miles on it in the time I had it and the Speed Twin fills a very similar niche. I’ve got a kid on the way so really couldn’t justify keeping both. Next triple I get will likely be a Tiger 900 Gt Pro. I’ve done some touring on the STR but I’m looking for something with a little more comfort for longer trips. That’s likely a few years down the line however.
Sorry to hear about the bike, but congrats on the kid. They’ll be more fun than the bike anyway :-)!
Another Speed Twin rider 👍. Have you fixed the firmware with Tune ECU yet? They hobbled the Twin from the factory so they could charge more for the Thruxton by stating it had 104HP to our 98HP with identical drive trains. To do this they put in the firmware when we give it 100% throttle we only get like 87%. Super easy fix with tons of videos out there though.
