3 Year Triumph Street Triple R Ownership Review

  • Three years with my Triumph Street Triple R 675 - the bike I chose after test riding 10+ bikes. After taking it to many slow speed skills classes, a track day, mountain rides, commuting with it, unplanned rain rides, lowering it, raising it back two years later, and test riding its new 765 sister... what do I think of it now?
    This is a 2014 Triumph Street Triple R 675 bit.ly/3YearsW...
    . Triumph discontinued the 675 in 2017 and replaced it with a lighter, faster 765 engine. See the review video on it below *Warning: many of the below videos are old and awkward, unlike this masterpiece you just saw.

    I’m one of those people that started (and still rides - less than a year) on a 250. My choice was purely money driven, and in truth, I’d love to upgrade to a bike with more cc’s. But I’m too happy not having a bike payment to make the jump just yet. One foot rider at the stops rider here too. 😊

    After getting my fundamentals down on a 500cc cruiser I made the move to the Street Triple RS. OMG! It’s such a wonderful riding experience. It just does what I want it to do and it really raised my confidence in fast cornering over a cruiser. I’m not an expert nor am I reckless with my riding, but something about the street triple just closed that gap of confidence and trust I was lacking with cruisers.
    I’m leaving this because I wanted to thank you for all the info you’ve shared on the Street Triple and your experiences. It’s helped so much over the last two years on this journey.
    Cheers!

    This is a year later but I have to give you a massive compliment.
    When talking about a new rider being on a low CC bike, you’re absolutely right. If I listened to the internet, I would have gotten a low cc bike and sold it within a month or 2.
    I started with an 1150 cc Indian scout. Like triumph, Indian is known for being incredibly smooth. (Unlike Harley).
    I still have that bike today and absolutely love it. It wasn’t too much power to learn on as it’s all about discipline, and it’s more than enough power and speed now that I’m a better rider.
    My next bike to pair with the scout is looking like the triumph Street triple. Thats a bike that offers a little bit of everything. Great speed and quickness, light and nimble, and good looking while also being comfortable (unlike a straight crotch rocket)

    Street Triple 660 was my first bike 4 years ago, and I went adventure touring with it. I suits that well. Did a lap of Queensland, and a lap of Tasmania. I live close to Sydney. About 40,000 km in the first year.
    Dirt is pretty specific. If I were looking at bikes in your range, I would look seriously at the Yamaha Tenere 700. If money is not an issue, you can't go past the Tiger 800, or the BMW 850GS.

    The affordable power and torque are great but what surpised me more is the flexibiliy at low revs 👍
    And for sure , with is low weight is very easy and nimble in tight turns.
    I m leavin in France near of twisty roads in hill or mountain.
    My friends tell me is a too powerfull bike and I will loose my drive license...but it s not an obligation to ride at 130 mph even if the moto can😉

    Hey Doodle...just a couple of corrections:
    1 - That generation only had the standard and the "R" version, so yours is the "race" version
    2 - Mirrors are adjustable, but you have to push on the glass itself not the plastic housing. It'll feel like you're about to break them, and it's hard to do minor adjustments.
    I have the same bike (same color too) but a 2013. Got it in 2015. I get tempted to get a different bike every so often, mainly when I'm just commuting - something with better legroom and a softer ride. But when I actually go for a fun ride I forget about that.
    The answer should be adding to the stable instead of replacing it :)

    Good to see a fellow Street Triple rider is happy with the bike. I bought my 2014 675R 3 years ago & I've really enjoyed it,can't see me ever selling it.So far I've used mine for commuting,general riding & a couple of trips to the Isle of Man.I've also done a really easy gravel track on it.
    We should have done a trip to the Italian GP last year but the pandemic stopped that...
    When we're finally allowed to travel I'll load it up for a trip around Scotland,another week in the Isle of Man & a big trip to the top of Norway.
    The only negatives I've found are the mirrors,I think they're the worst mirrors i've ever had on a bike & I've been riding over 40 years..
    The rear mudguard throws up a lot of spray in wet weather,I fitted the Australia spec rear mudguard to cut down the spray.(I struggle to believe they got this wrong on a bike designed in rainy England)
    I fitted a longer length front mudguard,as the radiator gets lots of road grime thrown at it from the front wheel.
    I also find the 'R' suspension is quite firm,I'm only 5'6 weigh 150 pounds + gear,I'm sure it's sprung for someone heavier.
    At some stage I'll upgrade the lights to LED,the front of the headlamps seem to get very warm & I've seen posts on forums were people have melted the lens's. LED's run cooler.
    Keep on enjoying the Street Triple!

    Go Triumph Speed Triple 1050! I also used to ride Street triple. Then I switched to Speed and went touring around Europe with it. I'm a 177cm 63kg female and I absolutely adore the bike. I love the power, the stability on the highway, the seating position, the cruise controle etc. It's so much better than the street triple. I also tested the Tiger. It was fine, more comfy on the highway with good wind protection, but I just hated the upright seating position and how chunky the bike felt. I also didn't like the way it switched gears. Good luck with choosing your next bike. Greetings from the Netherlands.

    For me, 1.81m male, I unintentionally got the low ride height version (765R LRH) and surprisingly enough, it is not too small for me. It is the first bike I own, and it is just perfect.
    Do note that I did my driving lessons on a Suzuki SV650 (with thorough EU driving training) so the step up from that to the Streety is not so dramatic. Did my test ride before deciding to buy this one on a Streety RS and could handle that one well enough. The difference of the RS vs the R is minimal.
    There is so much potential in this bike and I have years ahead to discover it while my riding skills improve. 😉. Now did several 6-7 hour tours on it. If needed I could do another 6 hours after that and another and another. Power wise it offers more than plenty for country roads and if you are a capable rider you can really go fast there. And you are right saying this bike is light and nimble and smooth. It just feels like a bicycle on steroids.
    Bumbling along at a lazy 3k revs is just as easy as revving it up high into the rev limiter. Torque is always there. But at higher revs, starting at 6-7k, it really starts to take off. And it starts to scream that sweet triple engine howl which is music to the ears.
    On the Autobahn 🇩🇪 I took it to 200km/h, deemed the wind force too strong, but the bike itself felt solid and had some reserve left. But it is built for country roads. It is a naked bike after all….

    I had the same problem in researching for a new bike. I had been off for over 5 years and I wanted something I could ride and and reach the ground on and also it had to have a motor and be lighter weight. Two months of research plus taking into account of dealer proximity and the answer was... a 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 650. This bike checks all the boxes for a do everything bike and the price was right and availability great. I had a Triumph Bonneville back in the day and it was a 650 but nothing like this 650. This is my 72nd motorcycle of all kinds and brands and I will have to say that Kawasaki has gotten it right with their Ninja 650. I have only seen 116 MPH on it so far but it is still under 500 miles. I have no cons for this bike. It is a long term keeper! Love your videos.

    I think I have the perfect solution. Have 2 bikes like I do! One is my go play bike (2007 VFR800), and the other is my fully kitted 2014 Vstrom 1000 for doing the long tours on dirt/highways. I try to keep costs down by doing my own basic maintanance like oil and filter changes and other minor servicing requirements. If your passion for motorcycles is/becomes obssesive (and it will!!), then you will find a way to fulfill said passion. Try the Royal Enfield Himalian for size and simplicity and keep your Triumph. Perfect combination for you. Ride safe young lady.

    @jdn645 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good stuff, Doodle. I rode the same Street Triple as you for four years, and I agree with your assessments. It's a fantastic all-around bike, but not an off-roader. I also own a Triumph Scrambler, which is my "off-roader," but that is limited to gravel roads and fire roads for my uses. Also, I have gone to California Superbike Schools for 3 years running and have ridden their BMW S1000RR's at their schools. Those track-specific bikes have a seriously aggressive and cramped seating position, not what I would want on the road, or I would be cramping all day long. My caution to you on adventure bikes is that the seating height tends to be quite high. Aware of the challenges you've wrestled with in the past, keep that in mind. I don't know how riders have Supersports as their only bike or as their daily riders. Last fall, I encountered a car running wide coming right at me so I landed in a ditch with no injuries other than a few scrapes, bruises, and a cracked helmet (the bike was totaled). I replaced my 675 STR with a 2020 765 RS, and it is amazing. The 2020 bike is a big jump in power and torque from my 2014 and the Brembo brakes/stopping power are insane. The Ohlins shocks take it over the top, so it's a huge step up for the old back. I am 6'1" and 205 lbs, and I have been very comfortable on both Street Triples. Similarities between the two are that they are both light and nimble, both extremely flickable (I think the 2020 is more so), and both give a ton of smiles per mile (the edge going to the 765 by a large degree). I took my 2020 to Circuit of the Americas in Austin in November and had an absolute blast. I ride in the intermediate group at track days and hung or was passing nearly every literbike out there, primarily due to the turns. I was always happy with my 2014 STR and would still have it not for the accident,, but the current model has major improvements from my 2014, including a DST display and selectable rider modes. I love, love, love the 2020 model and think the upgrade is definitely worthwhile if the funds are there! Sorry for the long post!

A dealer called this morning, with a 2020 leftover and after watching a bunch of your videos yesterday,, especially the one on all of your test-rides and this one, as well some by Yammie Noob in the past, I decided to go for it. It's a bit more bike than I was planning for but Im getting it new for within $300. of what a 2021 XSR 700 would've cost. My last bike, like 20 years ago was a 500cc, so I think I'll be okay.

    0:29 i've got a 2024 Street Triple 765 R, and i would not say it's all that smooth. the smoothest bike i've ever ridden BY FAR is a Z900. especially at higher speeds. most bikes get more and more vibey as you go faster, but not the Z900. once you hit about 120 and up, it was glass smooth.
    5:07 no, i agree with you that it's more of a sportbike than other nakeds. i've had the SV650, Tuono 660, and Z900, and now the 765 R. and the 765 R is by far the most sportbikey. the suspension, the brakes, the rider position, everything about it is more sporty than the others. the Tuono 660 is also pretty sporty compared to the others, but not even close to the 765 R. and the SV650 and Z900 are definitely more comfortable, more upright, more relaxed. oh i've also ridden a 390 Duke; only once, but thinking back i remember it being similar to the 765 R. a bit more so than the Tuono 660. at the time i kind of hated it. it felt so foreign to me, having only ever owned a ninja 300 and my SV650 at that time. but now, with the Tuono 660 kind of breaking me in to the style, i don't mind it so much now that i'm on the 765 R. i only just got through about 750 miles, and i'd say i'm already pretty comfortable on it.
    7:50 i don't believe that your mirrors are not adjustable. the housing itself may not technically be adjustable, but i would be willing to bet money that the glass will adjust inside the housing. and if you can't get them to go far enough left or right, then i'm pretty sure you could loosen them on the handlebar, move them a bit, and tighten them back up. then the glass would have enough range of motion to get where you need it.

I found 1 in San Diego but someone else jumped on it before me. I think you should have kept this one because its rare, or at least people love them so much that they are not letting go of this model and trim level together. Immma keep looking.

    Hi Doodle,
    You could get an older small displacement enduro or trial bike. Great for playing off road to help with skills but also great to have a fair weather alternative so you can leave your pride and joy in the garage. And you definitely will drop a bike off road which is why you want an older one. Could see if someone offers trial courses close by. They are slow and less intimidating.

    Being 5'4 with a 31" inseam is quite something, I'm 6'2 with a 32" inseam. I haven't found a bike I can't flat foot on both sides yet, I guess weighing twice as much as you helps the suspension get low enough! Crazy how much people's body shapes affects how they fit on a bike, I bet the stock windscreen does a decent job for you but would do almost nothing for me.

  • @bsmukler
    @bsmukler 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just as you got used to riding the Street Triple at stock height, you would also quickly get used to what are mostly optically larger bikes in the ADV category (I say optically because they are not actually all that heavy). I’d suggest trying a Multistrada 950 with spoked wheels or an R1250GS. It would be great if you could spend a day or two with Jocelyn Snow in order to really become familiar with ADVs and with light off roading. Another advantage is that traveling is much easier given the variety of luggage solutions as well as the fact that the bikes are mostly unaffected by moderate load increases.

    I bought a 2014 Tiger 800 XC, and it is HEAVY and TALL. I do love it, it is super fun and handles REALLY while riding. But when you are stopped, you feel all the weight at the top. I have heard the 2019 and newer have relocated some of the weight down, but it will still be top heavy.
    I love mountain road riding ( th-cam.com/video/_i2r-XjfleQ/w-d-xo.html ), here in the Pacific Northwest we have some AMAZING mountains and backroads.
    I got the Tiger for doing some of the off-road dirt rides and possibly the BDR. The tiger is the smoothest bike I have ever ridden, it is more comfortable than I imagined it would be. I also want to do some long distance riding to National Parks, and the Tiger is perfect for that. 5 gallon tank, and good range.

    The critical reason small cc bikes are best for learning on is because an inexperienced rider can gain a higher skill level while pushing closer to the limits of the machine's envelope, especially skills that involve traction limits, swerving and/or braking.

    It's a shame the Yamaha Tenere 7 is probably just a bit tall for your comfort (nothing wrong with that, btw, knowing your limits helps keep you safe). That would a a great way to do some dual-sporting, but still have a good street bike to get to those durt/gravel routes. Still, if you get the chance, try one out. I know a number of people who really love theirs's!
    I'm coming up on 10k miles on my '16 Street Triple R(in awesome white and red), and I don't see enough in the 765 to tempt me away from a paid for, and personalized, bike that really does put a smile on my face every time I ride it. So, I'm in the "keep it" camp. ;)

    Triumph do make a lower version of adventure bike, but those Tiger bikes are huge. I found difficult to handle off road (I am about the same height as you). Depending on how much dirt you want, large cc bike is not necessary and can be dangerous off road. I have BMW G310GS for moderate dirt/adventure, and now consider to add Honda CRF 300L (much lighter) coming up for pure off road riding.
