Great video...really enjoyed it. Just picked up a '19 a little over a week ago after owning a '16 T120, which I sold last summer. Test rode a '16 ST when they first came out and never forgot how much fun I had on that test ride. The ST is a fun, surprisingly flickable bike with plenty of get-up-and-go...probably more than any sane person will ever need. Really enjoyed the T120 as well, but this '19 ST is a blast to ride.
Yeah this was one of the first things I was ever able to review, I've improved my set up a little but sound is always gonna be a tricky one. Thanks for the comment.
Yes, if possible better voice audio would be appreciated. Just want to be able to understand what your are saying. Too much wind making it's way into your helmet?
I don't know about range i'm afraid, I only did about 10 miles on it but my MPG was saying 67.4 on the screen. Another review I've seen said they were averaging about 58 MPG with two full panniers and a heavier rider than me if that helps.
Great review mate. The only thing that's stopping me is the T100. Could someone shed light on the differences between the two?? I really couldn't find much. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Thanks bud. If we're talking differences between a new T100 and the Street Twin then there's not a lot of change. The T100 is a bigger plusher version if you like but you'll pay an extra £800 pounds for it. It has the same engine which i think is even tuned very similarly and gives 1 extra horsepower but it has slightly different dimensions, a slightly bigger rake and trail which promotes better stability at high speed but i doubt you'd notice it. It has a larger tank, weighs 15KG more dry, comes with a rev counter and spoke wheels. In effect it is a slightly bigger, heavier, more grown up, slightly less nimble version with some nicer style cues (depending on your taste) and more kit (nicer clocks). If you're looking at an older T100 then there are many more differences and i would side with the newer Street Twin. Hope that helps.
Tim Aitken-Smith Thanks a lot man. I am only 5.7". I think the lighter street twin would be better for me. Your help was invaluable mate. Thanks again.
Vikram Venkatesh the T100 is quite a bit heavier than the Street Twin (213kg v 198kg). The chassis is the same as the T120 but with the 900cc engine as per the Street Twin. Also "only" has the single front disc like the Twin, whereas the T120 has dual front discs
Hey, nice video you did there. Nothing related but I really like your jacket, could you please tell me where you bought it. Thanks ;) I also really like the bike but it's little too expensive for me right now, I guess I'll have to wait.
Thanks for the encouragement. Can't wait to start recording some more material in the Summer. The jacket is a Richa Memphis and I think I bought if from Moto Legends for £250 if that helps.
Enjoyed the review ;Thankyou - I also have an S2R and am thinking of trading in for the speed twin , I do a lot of highway open road twisty riding and although everything mechanical is awesome on my Duke it can be a bit naughty when re-directing readjusting the line in corners basically its a beast to ride and can be a bit unnerving at times. I want a more placid ride without loosing to much - I know the 'street twin' is s step down but just wondering how you compare the 2 bikes in regard to firstly handling then comfort - as stated in your review the compression braking on the Duke is beneficial however the actual stopping power for those unexpected moments leaves a bit to be desired. How do you find the 'street twins stop ability? Finally as an owner of a S2R yourself how would you in your words describe the comparison of the two bikes, would you consider having a 'street twin' over the Duke? Any comments would be greatly appreciated -cheers!
Thanks for your interest, I'll try not to waffle. Well first thing that i'm sure you're aware of would be the much lower HP for the Street Twin, which you will notice the first time you want to overtake something, it would just require a bit more planning than you need for the easy pull of the S2 (i'm assuming you have the 800 not the 1000 otherwise the difference will be compounded). As for the ride quality, the S2 has a fairly sporty position, leaning forward with those wide bars, where as the Street Twin is far more relaxed and upright. It will happily plod along the motorway at 70 but on open roads you will notice a trail off of power in high revs with only 5 gears, so it will feel a lot smaller. But when you get to some twisty roads, the Street Twin is really smooth and enjoyable, it's not raucous, you won't be beating your best times considering it's maximum lean angle and riding style, but it is really fun and you'll be well in the sweet spot for revs, and the fact that it is so low will probably make you feel like you're going as fast when you aren't so you can have much more fun at slower speeds, you'll finish your ride satisfied but not stressed. The brakes are definitely better on the S2 though, 4 piston dual disk Brembos beat single disk 2 piston Nissins easily. Hope that helps.
Great review...thanks for sharing!!! Can't decide between Triumph Street Twin vs. Street Scrambler...test drive next month and will make a decision after my test drive!!! Thanks again for your review!
I'm finishing the edit on the Street Triple and then I need to plan some for the spring when the frost's gone. Bobber and Thruxton are first on the agenda I think.
you are obviously a beginner in the review department but you do a better job than some of your contemporaries. Well done. You might try riding some of the originals to get a better comparison as even though this is more modern in its engineering etc it i is lacking in some of the purpose that made these bikes famous.
Thats very kind, thank you. I am very new to it so i'm trying to ride as many things as i possibly can, definitely need to go back and try some bench mark bikes as well for comparison.
Tough one. Well I now own a street triple so that should tell you how much I like that particular model, but for the sheer charm and fun of it I actually preferred the street twin.
It's a tough one for sure. I've got a Street Triple R but I think the Twin is probably more suited to me. The rave reviews and 'shove' of the Triple makes it difficult to trade in, I can't decide. I like your reviews, nice and straight forward, have subscribed.
Thank you. Agreed, I've got a 2009 Street triple R that I don't get to ride as much as I'd like so realistically I should sell it but I find it really hard to part with. If I had the money I would certainly have a Street twin in the garage though, it's a pretty charming ride.
yeah I use an external lapel mic in my helmet and digital audio recorder and sync it in post. just bought some new equipment ready for the summer though so it'll improve further.

I want this bike so badly!! better than the 883 HD. great review!
Quality is better than most. Very professional you will get better with time. Subbed to see your growth.
That's really kind, thank you. Got a new camera for christmas so I can't wait to get out and do some more.
Ive watched so many Street Twin reviews - this is one of the best !
Thanks man, I've got a lot more planned for this summer.
At 7:14... Benefit of being on a bike. You don't have to stop for potential serial killers as they try to wave you for a lift!
love mine :) got the red one too .. 2017 ..
I'm jealous
I enjoyed the ride, would of liked to be on it my self.
nicely ridden in beautiful Wales, I want one!
Thanks. It's one of my favourite roads.
Good video of my favorite bike, the on board sound still needs little work!
Yeah this was one of the first things I was ever able to review, I've improved my set up a little but sound is always gonna be a tricky one. Thanks for the comment.

terry haught ii
at last a great review..camera angles fine.sound good..my fave bike.
Any idea fuel range was.
I don't know about range i'm afraid, I only did about 10 miles on it but my MPG was saying 67.4 on the screen. Another review I've seen said they were averaging about 58 MPG with two full panniers and a heavier rider than me if that helps.
captainengland I've only put about 1300 miles on mine but it's getting 54ish mpg if I recall correctly. It's pretty impressive, actually.
How does this compare to an sv650 ?whats it like cruising at 70 ?.
Very nice review, could you try a MotoGuzzi V7 and compare it with this triumph?
Thanks. Absolutely, I'm hoping to get a go on the Guzzi as soon as the weather allows, probably wont be for a month or two though.
Great review mate. The only thing that's stopping me is the T100. Could someone shed light on the differences between the two?? I really couldn't find much. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Nice review!
Thank you.
How about comparing this to Moto Guzzi v7 or V9?
I would love to if I can find a local dealer to visit but that may be a ways off, sorry.
Great review...thanks for sharing!!! Can't decide between Triumph Street Twin vs. Street Scrambler...test drive next month and will make a decision after my test drive!!! Thanks again for your review!
Thank you kindly. I'd be interested to hear which you choose after the ride.
And so which bike did you choose?
What part of Wales is this in?
North Wales, close to Abergele.
would it be small for someone 6'2''
Quite possibly. If I was over 6 foot I'd probably get the street scrambler instead
@@RarefiedRoad ty
The video was superb it was clear and enjoyable, however, you talk funny mate.
Cheers.
Where are the other Triumph reviews Tim?
I'm finishing the edit on the Street Triple and then I need to plan some for the spring when the frost's gone. Bobber and Thruxton are first on the agenda I think.
Hello TAS,
I sold my 749S. Looking for my next toy. Is this the stock exhaust?
Thank you.
-DoV
Yes it is. Everything was completely stock.
you are obviously a beginner in the review department but you do a better job than some of your contemporaries. Well done. You might try riding some of the originals to get a better comparison as even though this is more modern in its engineering etc it i is lacking in some of the purpose that made these bikes famous.
Thats very kind, thank you. I am very new to it so i'm trying to ride as many things as i possibly can, definitely need to go back and try some bench mark bikes as well for comparison.
Subbed
Nice overview of the bike
Thanks man, every subscriber helps.
Does this bike feel quicker than the XSR700, assuming you've ridden one?
Short answer is no.
What kinda jacket were you wearing in this?
It's a Richa Memphis jacket. Not sure they still do it but you might be able to pick up something similar online somewhere.
@@RarefiedRoad Oh nice, good to know. The gloves are pretty sick, too eh, who are they by?
Having watched your Street Twin and Street Triple reviews, which did you prefer?
Tough one. Well I now own a street triple so that should tell you how much I like that particular model, but for the sheer charm and fun of it I actually preferred the street twin.

wheres your camera?... just wondering how i can hear you.
have you got a microphone?
yeah I use an external lapel mic in my helmet and digital audio recorder and sync it in post. just bought some new equipment ready for the summer though so it'll improve further.
Nice review but need a better camera
Thanks, I agree. Hoping to get one for next year.
What is torque and what is power ?
54 break horsepower and 59 foot pounds of torque.
How much is the bike?
Currently £7750 in the UK
สวยดีครับ (:
good review
Thanks, it's one of my favourite roads and favourite bikes if I'm honest.
I would'nt call it a light bike
No after trying a few more since I wouldn't call it light either
