That high tech induction sound! Just heavenly sounding! 😍
Dude! That excitement every time you open up that throttle makes me equally excited! 😍😁 Sound like an amazing bike all around! Bravo Triumph 🙌
Fantastic bike and a fantastic review. Thank you so much, Dan! What a great way to end a week of work!
I’ve got the 1200rs and I’ll be honest it’s more power than anyone needs for the road maybe tempted to go back to the 765rs in the future with one of these beautiful red colours 😄great review 👍
I struggled with the 1200, as soon as it gets fun you're in license losing territory. Damn fine bike though! Thanks!
@@Englishbikerdan completely agree I feel like your pulling the clutch out and already doing over 30 😅
My mate is doing just that. He brought the 1200 R/S last year, but it’s just too much for the roads, so he has a deposit on the 2023 Street R/S 765. He tested the 2022 Street R/S, and immediately looked more confident and comfortable in the twisties.
YES 🙌🏼 you’re 💯 right I got the speed triple and it’s an absolute beast but it feels sad riding it because you just can’t appreciate it on the road it’s like 20 mph 30 mph 40 mph almost everywhere it’s such a shame tbh because it’s an absolute masterpiece of a bike!
Nice observations. 👍
Good to hear that it's great on UK roads too.
All sold out at my local dealer, so grateful that I got my order in early.
Just love watching your videos no matter what bike you’re riding you always sound like you’re having great fun.
Thanks Ian, appreciate the comment! 👍
Looks like loads of fun. I saw it the other day at my Triumph dealer in yellow, that colour is stunning!
Good to see you back.
Thank you! So good to be back on bikes! 👍
Great video! That bike looks so sweet! Years from now I might move up from my trident to that, really feels like the most natural next step. Thanks 👍
Thanks, yeah good move up from a Trident.
What a lovely way to start a Friday. Great vid Dan
Thanks my friend!
Thanks for the review! Have the Yellow on preorder after someone hitting me on my brand new 22 Street Triple. Super stoked for the updated model! Bought a Daytona in 2015 and will never own another bike... supreme!!
it looks a great bike as they always have been .. Great review
Wow Dan, that looks and sounds amazing! Hopefully you will be able to pop in when you have one on a long term loan! Look forward to seeing you soon.....
What a great looking and sounding bike. Might have to go get me a test ride I think, when it warms up a bit first.
What a machine! glad to see you on a triumph Dan. That bike is amazing. I have loved Street Triples for ages! I just love the way they look, sound and how quick they are.
One of the best nakeds for sure. Hope you have a good weekend sir :)
Thanks Dan, and you sir!
But they’re a bit cramped, I bought the speed triple Rs I’m 5/-11” and it’s not as cramped but still
Great review 😊👍
Been looking forward to this one ….. OH YES ! 🎉
Excellent review. Quite simply: I want one!
Great bike, I even love the looks. Good price too, what's not to like.
Thanks for the review.👍
Good-looking bike. I like triples. I've always fancied an XSR900.
A thing of beauty ❤
Thanks Dan, it's always a worry when a bike is so good that it'll be "ruined" for the newer version. It seems that Triumph have provided more of the same so great news for anyone wanting a new Street Triple. Happy and safe riding. :>)
Loved that Dan!
Cheers Dave!
Any bike that makes a grown man squeal and giggle like that is a 10/10 in my books
WANT ONE OF THESE.
So undecided on the colour… Would probably end up spraying the tank black
My cosmic yellow is on order due in April can’t wait!!
Oh man I'm jealous. Enjoy that Paul!
Triumph is the only bike manufacturer today that make tangible improvements on their entire product lines. They just don’t put the sp tag, put some brembos, and fancy colors and Jack up the prices. This street triple, though a bit too much for the road, is the best refined middle weight naked money can buy. What a bike!
I disagree. All the big name Japanese manufacturers make tangible improvements to their bikes. Triumph doesn't have a monopoly in this area. Japanese motorcycle engineering continually learns from what it has made and how they can improve it.
@@DaleMt09sp You have a point. in defence of Kawasaki, the Z900 SE has Brembo's ( front) and Ohlins.( on the back) Same price as the RS. I like the engine on the Kawasaki better and the dealer support is way better than Triumph in my area. Buying a bike is more than just the Bike. It's the long term durability ( or short term even) and the support network too. I have been let down by Triumph too many times in the past.
A proper bike with great suspension. Awesome :) I just find them a bit physically small so went for a Kawasaki z900SE.
Great video as usual. Would definitely get one if I lived in a place where I could ride it or park it and it wouldn't get stolen within a week! Owned the Trident for a while and this would be a step up in most ways, even though the Trident was lovely to ride in a semi-urban environment.
Thanks Tony! Yes it would probably attract some unwanted attention!
Why do you continue to live somewhere like that? Take Dilbert’s advice.
@@Acemechanicalservices that's the plan one day! I guess I got stuck in Paris, work, kids...life. got a Zero FXE now and have loads of fun. Total hooligan machine 😂
streets have been great for a long time, if this is even better it's a no brainer
Yes been waiting on this one! Great review as always sir 🫡 random question is the tank a plastic cover now?
plastic cover on top, steel tank underneath.
Nice video. I’m watching from the USA and curious what is on the other side of the tall fence like bushes along the road in the open country?
Excellent review as usual, don't sell yr kidney!
The bike has 2 different style bar end mirrors fitted! and both are right hand side bar end mirrors that have been spun inwards lol
It looks better with the flyscreen on.
Does it need a small screen for the higher speeds? I have a 2010 674 STR - lovely bike.
I had a 1200rs and hated it. Missed my 765. Got a SDR now but have a hankering to get another 765
Good review. Traded my street triple 2016 in on a 890r. Looks like I may have to trade in against the new 765r.
Do you like the 890 ?
I test rode one and put a deposit down as soon as i got back
Nice bike with top end fitments shame about the small ish sized tank and the price tag..let’s wait a couple of years and pick one up half price.
I have the Moto2 version and I love this bike! It is powerful but not insane. Can it lead go hooliganism? Um. Yes. But I am learning to control myself...only gotten it to 105 mph twice. 😂 I would recommend this bike to anyone...
How does it compare to the ducati monster or the MT09?
How is that bike still in inventory? Easily a best bang for the buck for real world sporty riding and smokin hot too! If these don't fly out of showrooms, our pastime has serious issues.
No doubt...... 2018 765 S was the best looking one.
Still a beautiful machine. Think Triumph have made the RS just a little more sporty and more nose down with the spacer in the rear shock. Just wonder if the R may still be the choice for the road??? Trouble is you go for the R and you don't get the nice dash.
Triumph certainly are producing some desirable bikes.
The nice dash actually sucks according to other reviewers. There's no standard round tach, something the r actually has ironically. Plus honestly, looking at the road is more important than looking at the screen!
The R would be my pick..... IF it didn't have the Trident dash. A bit disappointed with that choice.
@@Englishbikerdan Yep 👍
It's the main beam switch that I dislike on my '21 triple r. :>)
@Brian Williams I don't like that it's where the "flash lights" usually is on bikes , I prefer the main/dip switch to be towards the rider on the bars, and not right at the back which is a bit awkward. I don't have a problem with the dash or suspension which people are saying here.
I like that intro music, where can I find the full track?
It's called "1AM OMW" by Ballpoint. You can find it on Epidemic Sound.
@@Englishbikerdan much appreciated bub 👊🏽😎
I want one sign me up Triumph
Did you ride the MT09SP? How do you would compare that bike with the ST RS23?
I've not ridden any Yamaha's for a while. They are hard to get hold of, but hoping that might change soon!
Will you review the r?
Definitely!
What's the phone case you are using? Would like to know, thanks!
Ultimateaddons tough case. Link in the description you their website. Thanks!
How tall are you?
How would you compare this bike to the 2022 MT09SP with its torque difference?
I've not ridden an MT09 for years. Hopefully that'll change soon.
Have R3,Nx500, aerox....should I go for cbr650r or street triple???
If you had the choice between a Triumph Street Triple RS or a Kawasaki Z900RS SE and it’s a bike for basically rides out for either a couple of hours of an all day ride around which would you go for?
I've not ridden the Kwak, but I can't imagine it would handle better than the Street Triple.
Did you get a chance to ride the R as well?
Not yet but hopefully soon.
Great Video Dan, I have a doubt about this bike. in this video, Front brake oil reservoir shape looks different than so many other TH-cam reviews recently came from Spain motogp track.
LIND Triumph East London posted a video few days ago, in that video also its looks cylinder shape. why the different's.
This one has a triumph machined "premium" one fitted you can get as an accessory. Stock the R will come with a metal square reservoir and the RS will come with cylindrical brembo one.
@@lokerosenkrantz7423how do you know so much?
@@asueirhshshe my friend works at a triumph dealership, and also I just ordered one.
is this filmed in 2023? looks like london is on the spring mode.
Filmed yesterday, not in London. :D
Wonder how this compares to an older model
Yeah, would like to test them both back to back.
😂😅, You make the same jokes as my middle school students😂. 15 incher, going in dry, that’s what she said 😂😂😂.
I never matured beyond middle school age! 😂
@@Englishbikerdan 😆
Why are those tall huge bushes across the roads in UK. I feel they block the vision every time
What are the revs at 100km/h? I think that’s like 60 miles in British talk
I'll perform this test when I get a long term loan bike. Cheers!
When the 10 year old kid in you comes out 6:45
How does it compare to 890 Duke R.??
Which is more wilder.?
I've only ridden an 890R briefly. The 890R is a lot more aggressive, whereas the STRS is smooth and more precise I feel.
How is it for long rides?(100 miles or so, nonstop)
I can't say yet, but when I get a long term bike I'll do an update video. Thanks!
What bike puts more of a smile on your face: Speed Twin 1200 or the Street Triple RS?
Street Triple for sure.
Nice bike, nice video...but the front light...yak! Looks like the eyes of a Praying Mantis! But that aside, what a lovely machine!
Thank you!
Still gonna pick up a CB650R
Nice choice mate,did same thing,was thinking about trident,but it was a lot smaller than CB650R,and I am 6,2 so it would look like a toy bike :D
Not a bad bike at all, but the Street Triple is a different league.
Is Triumph reliability getting better? .. While I might love a Triumph, I would buy Japanese for reliability.
I can only go by personal experience, which has been good with my Triumph over 2 years.
My exact situation. Love the street triple! Trading my ‘20 r6 for one? Idk so much 😂
Would you choose this, or the Honda Hornet?
There's over £4k difference in price, so probably not a good comparison tbh.
@@Englishbikerdan Fair enough!
I'd purchase this machine just to say that i had a 15 incher. 🤣
You win the best comment! 🤣
@@Englishbikerdan 😁👍
Chceck out 44 teeth, Fagin took it to the track ;)
Yeah seen it, wish I was invited! 😭
R doesnt have DRL's? are you sure?
Yeah, you have to have dipped beam on the R. On the RS you can just have the DRL lights without the dipped beam. At least according to the Triumph press pack. Will confirm when I get on an R.
@@Englishbikerdan so you have to have the low beams on all the time on R but both bikes have DRL right? Just rs runs with DRL only
I just think the way they punish people for not buying the top model by switching the tft to a downgraded version is pretty shit. Yamaha done the same with the tracer
Also, more boring color options on the R.
Quatro ?
It's a Ashes to Ashes reference. Great show!
The only question is red or yellow 🤔
Red for me.
Ho ho ho ho ho.
Merry Christmas?
Every time your getting your jollies on a bike you let out a father Xmas ' ho ho ho ho'.
What's that all about?
Why drop two litres ffs
Still hate those bug headlights
Spain has horrible customer attention on this bikes.. :( Sad Story..
It's too refined. Wil never have another, unless they design in soul
😅😂
I always hated front lights on street triples. They are just ugly af, reaching so far out.
👍🤪🇨🇦
That headlight unit is hideous. For such a great bike its ruined by the front.!
When will someone at Triumph listen and change that horrid TFT display 🙄
I take it that that is the old model? calling it a 2022 model would be more accurate I would say.
It’s first available for sale in 2023. The US would call this a 2024 MY - all a bit confusing, but a NEW for ‘23 for me. Other reviews have mentioned the many engine/gearing changes - it’s not just new colours.
This is the new model as tested at the Jerez launch by MCN and others. As its March 2023 I'd call it the 2023 model.😊
No it's the brand spanking new 2023 model, as per the description and explanation at the very beginning of the vid. I think 2023 model is as clear as I can be. 😁
@@Englishbikerdan Apologises, and well done on being the first road review in the UK.
Not keyless?👎👎
Not keyless, and it doesn't make your dinner. 🤔🤭
Any chance you could dial back the girly giggles? Gets tedious very quickly and ruins what is otherwise a good vid.
Girly giggles? I think you mean super manly outbursts! 🤔😁 Thanks for watching!
Meh, he makes the sound I feel when I do the same thing. It's like a giggle, descriptive output. I like it...
@@Noony79 I actually think my giggles sound a bit like Mario. 😂
@@Englishbikerdan Italian plumbers have a lot to answer for. But as bikers we never want to hear this th-cam.com/video/m9zhgDsd4P4/w-d-xo.html
Great reviews but could do without the smutty remarks. Quite like a giggle.
