Dream Bike

“Dream Bike” Austin, 2025
This evening, my friend and I attended the Triumph Icon event here in Austin, where Triumph Motorcycles unveiled several special edition models. But the highlight for me was finally seeing the new 2025 Speed Twin 900 in person. I’ve watched countless videos about this stunning bike, but it hasn’t shown up in showrooms yet, so I was beyond excited to check it out. It felt just about perfect for me.
Finding a bike that fits me well is a challenge, and after being disappointed by how the Triumph Speed 400 felt, I was a little nervous that the Speed Twin 900 wouldn’t be a great fit either. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case at all. Surprisingly, I was almost able to flat-foot it with the stock seat, which I didn’t expect. The seat height is listed at 780 mm – exactly the same as Kiki, my 2007 BMW F650 GS – yet on Kiki, I can only tiptoe. I have no idea why there’s such a difference, but I’m not complaining! On top of that, the riding position is nice and neutral, which I really like.
It’s definitely at the top of my list for new bikes. Maybe one day, I’ll make it mine!
