One bike—that’s all many of us get. I agonize over the idea of a single-bike garage more than I’d like to, and how to get around the problem. “Well, what if I split my money between two older bikes—one for the twisties, one for touring…” before I hit a factory refresh on my search parameters and start all over again.
Suddenly, new tall-rounders, hyper nakeds, and sport tourers start looking pretty attractive—I’m back to the idea of the perfect single-bike garage. It’s draining because you know one bike can never really do it all, but holy hell does Triumph’s 2025 Speed Triple 1200 RS come as close as anything I’ve ridden.
At least, for my needs.
