I've had my R for a year, I was gonna change to the 2020 RS from my 2018 R but after riding the R and RS back to back I found the R is still a better road bike with a better mid range, I do miss the 2018s TFT but the up/down quickshifter more than makes up for it, if I'd done a lot of trackdays I'd have gone for the RS but as a do it all bike IMO the R is the choice.
The newer R has a better torque curve also doesn't it. I am thinking of getting a R, the LRH because I have a horridly short inseam. Alternative is a BMW with a low seat height but I think a Triumph invokes more passion. people say it's looking dated but I think it has a refined sporty elegance.
@@hiddendragon415 My R is the LRH as I've the same problem, I'm 5 '7" but only have a 29 inch inseam, so the LRH makes a big difference
@@yonniboy1 I'm glad it's working for you. My inseam is even less, so i'm glad at least some motorbike companies consider short riders.
@@hiddendragon415 I agree but at the moment it appears to be just BMW, KTM and Triumph.
Just got one. Love it so far. The R is just a better road option
Nice, i'm thinking of getting the LRH R because of my very short inseam. I do wonder if the bar reach will be too much as my arms are also short.
Excellent review! Terrific videography - particularly at the beginning. Thank-you. I actually prefer the more traditional display over the TFT, largely due to the tach.
I just bought one, I pick it up in just under three weeks time.
I haven't had a chance to get out on one just yet, but every review I've seen has pretty much nothing but really positive things to say about this motorcycle.
I'm just hoping it's as good as everyone says, I'm sure it'll live up to or even surpass my expectations.
Had a brilliant 675 RX a few years ago and after a few KTM Dukes that have been loads of fun I just bought a 2020 RS… Doubted between the RS and the R but there’s not many used R’s out there with low mileage. I do like the extras on the RS, the tft isn’t really important but I like the Ohlins rear shock, the m50 brakes, the seat cowl and belly pan.
The power difference is just a throttle valve opening map in the ecu, that’s limited in some rider modes on the R, you can change it by ecu tuning, even tuneecu can do this 😊
Great review, thank you for sharing the ride and commentary. I think the Street Triple R represents the greatest value in a sporty roadster which has so,e versatility.
Another great review EddieSetGo!! And that exactly what I love about my 2019 Rs is the build quality!! 😁 Keep up the great reviews EddieSetGo!! 🏍️😁👍🏻
Thank you Dave! Hope you're keeping well! 🏍
@@EddieSetGo No worries & yeah all good thanks but getting frustrated with the weather I'm a fair weather biker after all the years of riding in the rain I just want to get out on my Rs & run it in as I've only done 350 miles on it just want my first service out of the way so I can go give it some Yoshi!! 🏍️😁👌🏻👍🏻
I've had my 2021 STR for about a year now. (Sapphire black) Been doing mostly commuting on it.
It straight dominates at going to and from work.
my grandma's prius dominates at going to and from work too lol
@@bella_testastretta Not when it meets traffic, it just sits there
Bought one last year. This year it has a tft screen 😢 glad I got mine in time. Great video of a great bike. It's a real beauty.
Nice review mate. 👍. Love hearing your soul smile while you go around the twisties
Thank you for the comment! :)
Well done. You should make more videos with the Street Triple.
I have a 2014 Street Triple R in white and been getting a itch to upgrade to the new model. I wasn't a fan of the silver but it is starting to grow on me. The only other bike I like the look of is the Ducati Supersport 950 S but for the price, reliability and ability to do easy oil changes etc the triple wins hands down I think even if the Ducati is slightly more beautiful to look at.
Placed an order on one last weekend… delivery in 2 weeks….. because….. they happened to have one in the showroom. 😉 Did not expect that. And that exact one will be now mine… 😊
They showed me delivery status as of present and , due to lack of parts etc etc, situation looks bleak. So, instead of pre ordering one for beginning of 2022 as I originally planned, I decided on not waiting it out and grab that one displayed model in the showroom, despite winter fast approaching. The dealer still need to make their checks and screw on the extra bits.
Really hope for decent weather when taking delivery. It is only a 30 km ride to my home. If the weather is ok I go for a detour. If not I drive it straight home. And after that, I am wishing for a mild winter, so I can take it for a spin and get past break in period asap.
Loved your video! I bought one today, pick it up next Saturday can’t wait!
Awesome stuff! It’s an exceptional machine. Did you go for the ‘R’ version? :)
@@EddieSetGo yes the r version. I test rode the rs 2 yrs ago and found it heavy and sluggish compared to a 675 triple I used to own. So ended up getting 790 duke. Glad to be getting back on street triple, and the r seems to be more road focused
I had an 09 Street Triple and that thing was almost too much fun to keep your license.
This bike is definitely on my radar! I owned a CBR 500R and am looking for a second bike. I'm torn between this, Aprilia RS 660, or CBR 650R.
Trash the cbr, its only between the rs 660 and this beast of a triple. Honda is king but not here
Awesome video / editing / gear! Well done mate, subbed for more awesome quality content!
Returning back to biking after a while z650 and this in lrh are options know triple is overall better bike but which would be better in my situation performance ergonomics and comfort are a factor
Great review. Think this would be a perfect second bike for me to just hop on and have fun locally to complement my Tiger 900 gt.
Get TuneECU, and flash the ECU to get rid of the restrictions and it will deliver the full power of the RS model. Takes 15 minutes, very simple to do.
Thanks Eddie, Nice real world review. Where I live the RS is a bit dear. The R is about the same price as the MT09SP, Z900 and new GSX S1000. So challenging choice to make. More power and low down torque from the competitors. No quick shifter on the Z. I see from another video you chose the SP. Why not the Street Triple?
Wonderful review! Pick up my brand new 2022R in April up here in Canada 🇨🇦. Can’t bloody wait! Thanks for this
Getting mine this Friday, can't wait
Which model are you getting the 2023 new model ?
@@arfb8 no, that is a bit too expensive for me, I have the 2020 model.
Sadly it's in the garage, haven't had a chance to ride her yet, weather needs to improve!
Nice review. I'm thinking of trading my newish BMW r1250GS in for this R version. I test rode the RS the other day and hated the mirrors both visibility-wise and for filtering. I'm also not a huge fan of Triumph's TFT, even the much bigger one I had on the Tiger 900 GT Pro. I agree too much information isn't really that readable and I prefer the analogue rev counter. Some reviewers have said that they found the front end of the Street Triple R a little imprecise and light, do you have that feeling? I am also considering the new Aprilia Tuono 660, which many say handles even better. Have you tested it? Take care and ride safe
But Touno has 95 or 100 HP only, more electronic devices...if you like it ..
Just bought a 2021 MT09, I think they sound nicer than this doe.
I like the fuel capacity and that the seat on the Triumph has a backstop
Triumph sound is better...
@@robertbieganski8143hmm nah, just different. I now own a Triumph Daytona 675 aswell. Also the MT09 makes 20 more Nm of torque.
Great review✊🔥🔥
Beautiful explanation 👍🏻❤️
Here it's biggest rivals are BMW F900 and Kawasaki Z900 please can you suggest me one or can you make a comparison video.
I’ll do my very best for you! Watch this space :)
i am going to have a go on the mt 09 be4 deciding. The
s i rode felt really nice but maybe saw too many reviews and was already a bit biased on the toque, once on higher rpm's tho that thing would "go" just fine.. cant say i didnt like it, the quality was high and the sound awesome too. The brakes were more than impressive, had brembo's before and can attest the ones on the rs have all the stopping power one needs.
The châssis of the Triumph is definitely much effective than the Yamaha
MY dream bike ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Street Triple lacks the torque of the 890R or the MT09. Either one of the three would a great choice. I would go for the MT09SP as I think that triple engine gives so much more and it handles so well now.
@HahrtDood KTM. Ready To Repair. I had the 790 Duke. Had three oil leaks from various gaskets and a coolant leak. Traded it after a year.. that too was a really fun bike, so light and flickerable. Love riding KTM but I’d think very long and hard about buying another even if I’m very tempted by either the 1290R or the 890R. Such great bikes but reliability is the issue
My 765 had 3 oil leaks, one on each side of the engine, and then couldn't stop the oil fill cap from oozing. Also the radiator failed in the first month, a bad batch of fin tubing that was splitting all over front and back, that took 3 months to get replaced, and I had to fight the dealer, and contact Triumph USA for resolution.
Less cubic capacity equals less torque
Ergos are screwed on the 09, sat upright like a barn door in a gale. Its a supermoto. Nah, mush
@@booshting3520 😂 that’s why it’s called being a naked bike. As for the ergos, it’s great as it is comfortable for a long ride. I think you are in a minority with your opinion.
Great review. I'm so confused between this which I loved from a test ride 2 yrs ago and the trident which is less powerful and probably the more practical one for the Indian roads. I keep juggling the decision in my head.
Same here from same India. Heart says street triple but mind says trident 660z We can buy a new trident or a used street triple. Trident feels more sophisticated. Steet triple on the other hand have more commanding style and performance. You will feel good first time when you ride trident 660. You will feel awesome with all the adrenaline rush it provides. This thing has triumph sporty dna flowing all through it. But trident feels more in practicality which i prefer. The service cost the fuel economy are bit easy on the pockets on the trident. I too is looking for a new and confused with the two. Would love to own any of this.
@@Ray-bn7hr so i actually went for the RS as the trident just didnt compare when it came to power, braking and rear suspension. If its an everyday ride to the office for you I’d say go for the trident as u wont be using so much power the RS delivers but will have enough at your disposal to keep you grinning!
Open Question im looking at used 765 ST and theres toughy an £500 difference between the R & RS should i just get the rs for the sake of £500 and gain an ohlin rear shock,extra hp and other bits?
How true is it that Triumph bikes are a bit hard to press the clutch levers?
What jacket are you wearing
...and Ducati, Aprilia, Ktm
Hey, I need your help. I'm 6ft tall and I'm torn between this street triple and the Z900rs Cafe. What is the more comfortable to ride, regarding ergonomics? Thanks
Z900rs is more comfortable like a lounge. I am 5ft 6 and street triple r is petite and feels like a 250cc in size do a test ride on both
@@paulbarnes6124 duke 790 feels smaller then Street triple rs
Mt 09 2021 or street triple R 2021???
Please suggest a low maintenance bike
And comfortable seating for daily use
Honda postie bike
Stuck between a rock and a hard place as I wouldn’t be buying brand new probably from 2017-2019 with the R and the RS , but for the sake of a few hundred quid has got me thinking why not just fork that extra out and go for the RS? I’m new to riding I have my direct access booked in for next month, so any advice would be appreciated. Ideally I don’t want a bike that I’ll get bored of or want to upgrade after a year or so that’s why I’m more inclined to go for the RS.
RS is great but if you don't do track days then it'll be no faster on the road and maybe just a little less comfy on a bumpy road. I got an R as I hated the TFT dash and love a rev counter needle spinning round... If you like having Ohlins and and RS written on things, or you really need that extra bit, then go for it otherwise save 1500 quid and spend it on some kit or whatever floats your boat😁
@josh s i have the exact same mentality lool and wanted to know the answer to this exact question. Also what bike did you get in the end
I am a average for a woman (5’5), and I can tip toe the R ok. Would I lose out on getting the LRH? I plan on the occasional track day, but mostly I just do street riding/commuting and mountain twisties. It’s a factory loaded bike so It should be better than just lowering the normal R right?
It would be identical to just lowering a regular 765R
Great bike , got mine for a year now. Strange thing, i don’t have the sport mode.
Asked my dealer about it, he says it’s because the bike got the same dash as the s model. Very strange.
That's a bit odd, Jimmy. Does your Road Mode have the Sport power/traction settings? If so, I guess it's not a huge issue.
I can only turn the traction control off nothing more
Hi Jimmy, that is because you had one of the firsts, mine did not had the sport mode either but after a software upgrade at the dealer it has now and a rider mode as well. Talk to your dealer again and if he keep tell you the same think ask him to speak triumph
@@paulonunes9252 thanks for your reaction.
Is there a difference between road and sport mode?
The bike needs another oil change in a few months, i’m gonna ask him again.
Maybe he knows more at this time, possible he did not know it last year.
Advice required. Street triple r, speed twin or street scrambler not sure which one to get newish rider for a weekend toy in the garage. Haven’t a clue
If you’re looking for a sporty roadster, Mark, with loads of eye-watering power and handling performance for the weekend… the Street Triple R. For a classic-looking timeless road bike with great torque, the Speed Twin. I’ve not ridden the street scrambler… but why not consider the Street Twin? Same styling as the Speed Twin… cheaper… and in my opinion, more everyday fun! 🏍
I’d also say, for a newish rider… the Street Twin options would maybe be a better fit. Still plenty of power. The other two however, pack serious power and performance that could catch you by surprise.
@@EddieSetGo thank you
Great review and I think riding this bike is awesome but the looks of it are just...hideous. Of course it's up to personal favor but I just don't like this asymmetrical and jagged design. Which is a shame because I think the other facts of this bike are very interesting.
Is the triple R made in the UK or Thailand?
The benchmark for the lightweight naked motorcycle is the Ducati Hypermotard going way back. This Triumph is a great naked bike but hardly a benchmark. I’m sure it will earn its spot, give it some time.
Mentioned braided brake lines 3 times but no word about the spine smashing, jarring suspension. The BPF forks are absolutely shit and any suspension shop will back me up on that.
Triumph keep producing intoxicating engines but lace them to poor chassis.
You forgot to mention Aprilia
46！nice !!
VR46!
Street triple, mt09 or z900?
I tested all three. I am going to buy the streety! :)
All 3 great bikes but...
Mt09=buzzy handlebars/weaker handling and brakes
Z900=tank too wide/buzzy tank
