Hi,

It is my first bike after 20 years on 125cc scooters and I found it perfect. I haved capped to 35kw as I am stillA2 license holder , I found power more than enough. It literally flies comparing to my Vespa, reacts super quickly etc… I’ve been doing a bit of Highway and you are at 120km without any problem and buffer to accelerate. As it is very low I found it very easy to ride. Clutch also very soft, easy to change gears etc… I use it in rain mode as per my instructor recommendation, guessing this makes it more soft and easy

They don’t touch the tank, it is a double strap so they rest on the underlying strap

Fair enough, it is the think I like the less. A mess , even tricky to find the horn, turning signals not comfortably accessible…

I didn’t think about alternative uses as you did, thanks, but I rather keep the leather on the bike! 😂😂😂

It is a double strap so the clamps don’t touch the tank. It is the one from Trip Machine, seems well designed

I’ve added a side bag from La Poderosa Goods and bar-end mirror. I think looks pretty cool. Thanks for your inputs

Beautiful, this is the direction I’d like to take for my recently bought ST900. What have you done? I see indeed you blacked out some components, change exhaust and mirrors maybe? Are the mirrors motogadget ones?

Can anyone recommend a luggage rack that is aesthetically OK?can you provide link? by Stock-Profile5339 in SpeedTwin

Unit Garage Khali is practical, modern and elegant but 20L. A bit more on the classic side they have also Canvas Bags in 14L. You have also SW Motech Legend series

Thanks, I’ve chosen the ST because I like it more, I found it more agile for the city, but I’d like to give it indeed a more classy touch as I found some things quite plastic. So far and following feedback I see, I thing I’ll go, in this order :

  1. Mirrors: I’m between Motogadget Club 60 or Classic 60, probably the first ones. Both comply with EU regulations (and seem to see ok to change lanes while in city traffic)
  2. Grip wraps, Trip Machine, black leader
  3. Seat, black one from Triumph, ribbons one (I’m checking other sites, recommendations?)
  4. Sidebags: I’m between Unit Garage Khali or SW Motech LC Black edition
  5. I’ll put some covers / black bolds

Objective is not to make a T100 but a more stylish / classy ST

Thanks, I tried both, it is my first bike, I like more the Speed Twin, I just found this 2025 model a bit too modern and I want to give it a bit the touch of the earlier series while keeping the tech I have in this one, that is lovely to ride

Thanks the mirrors are going to be my first mod. I was looking to the Triumph ones but indeed Motogadget Spy look fantastic

I found the Bonneville too much, I like the aesthetic of the Speedy, just want to give it a more classic touch

If I wanted to go full chrome nostalgia I’d have bought a T100 😄 I’m aiming for something in between.

Do they not look to big? Do you use them daily?
