3 Year Triumph Street Triple R Ownership Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
- 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.

Doodle, Three Years already. Time flies when you’re having fun. I know I’ve really enjoyed your video on the Triumph Street Triple R. Here’s to more years and beyond.
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. 😊
I started with a 250 for money reasons as well years ago but honestly I wouldn't have changed that they are great bikes and you will learn more on it then any other bike you own.
@@alexduey7868 It’s worked out well for me so far. I am happy I bought it.
I agree. Give me a decent bike at a reasonable price. Plus, light bikes are very forgiving, which is huge when you're starting out.
Consider Honda’s CBR500. Great value & lower maintenance costs. My first bike which I loved!
Thats why Ive been on an r3 for 4 yrs.
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!
It's wonderful to have our Doodle back again! Hope that your New Year was . . . uh . . . new!
😂 missed you guys! Glad to be back!
Love the bug eyed look of that year. I’ve driven past the Triumph Hinckley HQ many times and not got around to do the tour yet!
Loved tagging along with you today on your ride.. didn't want the ride to end..
I'm going to have to look more into Triumphs. I never really looked at them seriously, but you make them sound so interesting. 🤔🤔 Thanks for the new content. 😜
I love my 09 675
I love my Street Twin, four years now…
That's what I thought, and traded my 08 cbr600rr in for a 12 street triple r. The triple is much better, will definatly be getting another one, just a better all round bike and sounds mental with a good exhaust on.
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)
Props
I rode that same exact bike for 4 years, sold it to a buddy, then upgraded to the 765R.
Here's a crash review of all the bikes I test rode before picking this Street Triple R:
bit.ly/10BikesIn10Minutes
Let me know your little off roading bikes recommended below!
....."crash review"..?? a oh..
Its Chassis....pronounced "chassy" :)
Yamaha TW200 is the only one I can think of that isn't tall ....
Don't let the taller seat on off road only bikes scare you away. Keep away from competition bikes like motocross and focus on trail bikes like the Honda crf 230 or Kawasaki klx230. You'll have so much fun, plenty of women dirt bikers more than willing to help!
Like crash course? Ok I see 🤪 I’ll have to think of how to re-word that
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.
I’ve had a Street triple for one year now, and I’m thinking, where has this bike been all my life! 😂 glad you’re enjoying it
YASSSSSSS
Try the Tiger Sport 660😉
I have tried a street 675 (2011) last week...what an engine ! And what a sound 😃 Even with stock exhaust.
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😉
Nice to see you posting a new video it's been a minute! Your motorcycle videos are my favorite on TH-cam.
I'm a rider that wanted a bike that I'd feel comfortable doing a little bit of everything on, as well. Now, I'm starting to get more interested in adventure/dirt riding. Love to hear your journey!
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 :)
Thanks for the corrections! 😎
Im new and waiting to take my test but can’t because of COVID lockdown yet. Really enjoy your videos and always show them to my partner to try and inspire her to do the same. So thanks.
Is covid stopping tests learning etc...?
@@chrishart8548
Yes it is here in the UK. Training centre is closed.
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!
Great! I didn’t know there were engine guard of that kind for this bike. Immediately ordered a pair! Spare parts can be really expensive so useful upgrade! Thanks
Hi Doodle, so it's almost 3 years since you bought your Triple R, and great that you still love it after the disappointment with your Bonneville! as always, I enjoy these rides with you through some beautiful scenery, and I'm sure, riders will take some good advice from your experience over these years. Thank you for all your beautiful videos, despite Covid! you've kept us entertained.
I enjoyed this review a year ago and am now the owner of a 2020 Street Triple R. Love it!
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 always wanted to test ride a 675. I sat on one years ago at a dealership and I was really impressed about how narrow and light it felt.
I just purchased a 2009 Triumph Street Triple and I love it! It’s my first bike, but with enough riding classes and random tips fro strangers I’ve gotten the hang of riding. I love the bike, and the Bug Eyes on the front. Probably going to add a Flyscreen, New Exhaust, and clean up the rest of the bike cosmetically.
Just don’t get my flatscreen! Only now realizing after riding more naked bikes that ir sucks 😅
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle LMAO omg I installed my Flyscreen last night 🤣🤣 Well, I didn't get the clear part so at least it's small. Saving the parts just in case I change my mind.
Love you channel btw. Take care.
I love the road your on ... Six mo ago I got a bike after not riding for 18 years ..... It's been 6 mo.s and I only have 1600 miles on it now .... Im having to learn how to ride all over again .....your videos and others have inspired me to ride again .... Go get em and take care .... 😊 😊 😊
You have a 31” inseam! 😱 I’m 5’7” and my inseam is 29. (Ankle bone to upper inner thigh)
I should’ve specified crotch to floor! 🤪 actual inseam is i think 29” too - but I do think my legs are longer than other’s my height - got a shorter torso
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.
A Bonneville 650!! Didn’t know those existed! 😃
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.
Finally someone touring with one of these! I'm seriously considering getting one in the next couple of weeks...
I never toured with this! It was uncomfortable for long rides
I'm still very happy with my '09 Street Triple (bought used in 2010). At 6" and 250 pounds I'm comfortable on the bike except on long highway trips - knees get a bit cramped. And I HAD to change the rear shock and spring.
I'm a British biker retire in Spain I own a 2014 Street Triple 675R ...same as yours in fact...what great bikes these are. I've owned many other motorcycles in my lifetime ...I'm 74 years old, I've got to say this the best handling bike I've owned....I had a Spanish road race preparation guy set up the suspension to my weight, and now after a bit of 'tweaking' it's probably as good as its gonna get. I ride for pleasure on mountain and 'Biker roads', have the odd hooligan moment.....el ultimo de los spiritus libres....ride safe.
Well dang, you might be the coolest 74 year old man I know
You are all legs! Holy cow. That is a cool bike, I would love to have one and I have been riding for 44 years. My daily rider is a 1000cc sportbike.
Hello From France I have a triumph 675 street triple (2013) for riding on the street ist really a perfect bike for have a lot of fun I go to mountain in summer it's just amazing ...I sure to ride this bike for a long time
Great choice in a bike.. They have great engines and the sound cannot be beat! Wtih it's short wheelbase and responsive suspension it is a fabulous bike. Alas, I had one, but for me it was a bit too small and I ended up selling it. Keep on riding and posting!
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!
Could never understand putting both feet down. I couldn’t imagine not having my foot on the brake, makes taking off a billion times easier. Keep up the good work Doodle, welcome back.
Same, but I could always flat foot my bikes too. Even drag racing, always had one foot down. It's easier to lift one foot than it is to lift two.
Just got myself a speed triple r 2018 less than 4,000 from new and never been in the rain and will use it for summertime only. very impressive bike the build quality the engine is fantastic. i just subscribed to your channel keep up your great work. 🇬🇧
Ayyye doodle back. Hope you enjoy the haitus and happy new year
Happy new year!
Hi I’m new to your channel. I’ve owned the same bike for 3 years. I love it. I did the nc500 and a lot more in August 2020. Roughly around 1750 miles in 4 days. The bike never missed a beat . It’s a great bike
Sweet!! Welcome aboard 😁
Thanks for the vid I have missed you. Please make more. Your energy makes me smile. I would like to ride a bike like yours to see what it’s like. I ride a Klr 650. Pretty pokey bike but plenty for me.
So, I pretty much pulled the trigger (down payment made) on a Street Triple R this morning. 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. So yeah, tx and Im psyched!! -now I need some more gear ;)
Yasssssssss!!
Ride what you like, I have a 2002 Vulcan Nomad, most of my friends ride harleys. The Vulcan is a comfortable cruiser, I just wish it had more aftermarket support
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.
There are so many great bikes out there. Unfortunately, my pragmatic tendencies refuse to allow me to buy them all. That's probably for the best.
"Chassey," gorgeous
Doodle where did you go to?? ...... welcome back!.. missed your posts
Break over the holidays 🤪 now I’m back and I missed you all!!
Go Triumph go!
You have a triump now? I remember finding your vids on the s40 when I was looking into getting the suzuki boulevard! Your channel have grown!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Have a great new year Doodle 🤸♂️👌🏻
The triumph you have is a cool bike and real fun to ride 😀
Keep on enjoying it!
If so inclined look around try some other styles of motorcycles. Test ride will make great footage and great conversation pieces 👍🏍
I have mine str-14 for 5.5years now.. still a very fun and agile bike.. love it
Hi im a male from uk, i have a 1050 speed triple, getting a bit long in the tooth now at late 50s, thinking of dropping down to 675, about 30kg lighter and still a fabulous triple engine, by the way your mirrors adjust by pushing the glass not the mirror.
DOODLE!! Glad your back and hope your time away for the holidays was as great as mine was! Oh and chassis is pronounced like chassy. 👍🏼 No worries, it’s ALL foreign language to my wife so I’m use to it!! 😀
🤪🤪
Just found my new favourite channel!
Welcome! But please no more talks about orgasms here this is a ladies and gentleman channel
Doooooooooooooooooooooooodle! howdy! solid review on why you love your bike so much! Get yourself a small ADV bike! enjoy it! plenty of smaller ADV bikes cheap to try! Suzuki Vstrom 650 are VERY affordable............you could handle that with ease!
Keep the bike you have. Save, invest, grow wealth. If you can sell your bike for more than you paid for it, you have my blessing to upgrade, otherwise keep it.
Hi Doodle! You can probably fit some dual sport tires on your Triumph. You won't be racing moto cross, but it would make dirt roads do-able. (p.s. it's pronounced chassee.😉)
I cannot find a Street Triple R Low Ride Height in white anywhere, which is what I wanted because I think they are absolutely GORGEOUS. 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.
It wasn't a low model! I had it lowered by buying the Soupy lowering kit and having a dealership lower it. But once I raised it back to stock height, I found I didn't need it lower with my short rider tricks th-cam.com/video/NWEGJQRYXMA/w-d-xo.html
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.
Greetings from England (30 mls from the Triumph factory), AndyB
The street triple in white looks good 👍
Isn’t it so purtyyyyy
Welcome back. I think a Tiger 800 would be great they are smooth and have good torque and power. You could look at the Scrambler as well it doesn'r have the low clearance but it is meant to go off road
I`ve a 2016 RX and i love it. I was also camping in the Black Forrest with it on a 4Days trip.
Cool!!
Time for a Dirt only motorcycle. Lots of fun playing in the mud riding in the woods..great way to add to your riding skills. ✌️😎
I owned a half-dozen off-road only bikes (CZ, Husky, Penton, Sachs, Kawasaki, Montesa) but to utilize them, I needed a pickup truck to haul them to the dirt. So your recommendation falls a bit short of reality, does it not???
@@Boysenberr soo she shouldn’t experience having a dirt only bike because u need to haul it. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂. Sounds like u managed it. My recommendation is spot on . Everyone with a motorcycle addiction should own a dirt bike at some point in life..✌️😎
@@mythreelife4764 I never said that and I would sincerely appreciate your not putting words in my mouth.
And I quote....so your recommendation falls a bit short of reality....your words your mouth 🖕🤐
Hi doodle! Love the vids 💯 Also, Chassis pronunciation = ShA-see. Keep it up!
Hayyyyyyy she's back 👍🇬🇧
She missed ya! 🤪
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.
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'm riding a 2014 street triple 675r and I don't have a problem with it at all compared to my Suzuki gsr 600 the Triumph performs better in all stages. It's a great
I'm very happy with my Kawasaki Z900. 4 cylinders makes no vibration, not like the Triumph.
Is that 948cc it's a lot of bike for the money. I really like the z900rs good suspension nice amount of torque as is tuned for mid range.
@@chrishart8548 The RS is a nice bike but I prefer the Z900 2021. More adrenalin.
Those women must be wondering, "Is that rider lost?"
😂😂
Chasis rhymes with classy.
I never would’ve guessed that 😂
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle I know, I learned it at about 16. I was like What??? I think it's French which makes sense.
Awesome video!! I'm curious about offroading myself. I took my Speed Twin on some trails once and it handled great
Thank You Almighty God for blessing me I will buy one for myself
I started watching you 3 years ago? Doesn’t seem possible. Happy you are still riding and still filming.
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.
I’ve not ridden one, but the Husqvarna Vitpilen looks awesome.
Got a blank check waiting for the nuda 900r

I love this review.. i was in the market for this little bike since i saw it.. there arent too many in my country (kenya) was super nimble.. smooth AF!!! But it felt a bit short.. for me .. I'm worried i cant ride it on murram roads .. on the road though, it was fantastic
Though, you may want to consider the new Street Triple 765. It's a considerable improvement over the old. Better suspension, electronics, handling, brakes,.....It also makes 20-25hp more and it's a bit lighter too! I am obviously biased, as I own the bike!
I barely use the horsepower I got 😅 but yes - if I ever upgrade I would want to get that - I will always need at least one Street Triple in my garage!
Thanks for the review. Its very helpful
I'm in Southeast Asia and love my MSX (Grom) with an upgraded 57mm Bore kit (added 25cc) and cam. The whole project cost about $100 US including professional ECU remapping. The little thing is nimble, and quite quick enough for the environment that I ride in. I'd consider the Duke 390 or Yamaha MT03 if I were looking for a bigger SEA riding machine. The scene is different here, although there's lots of big bikes running around...but I have no need for such.
So is it time for a new bike :) 😃 🤔 👀 yes 👍 how about a R1 for your next one. Have fun and enjoy the ride I just got a 2020 road glide on 1/7/21 with 7 miles on it and I keep my softail (sport glide) so I can run around town and go touring. Hope you're doing well with your TH-cam channel 😊 look forward to more videos
You are tiny! I am a bit surprised because you have a slender figure it makes you look kinda tall actually! You also look in your mid-20s at most! Good for you 👍
Welcome back
I am a rider that is all over the place and not sure what kind of riding I want to do also. That’s me. Well said. That’s why I still haven’t bought a bike. Haven’t been able to pick a bike. Good video.
I know the feeling 😅 let me know what you end up getting! I’ll keep an eye out in the comments
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Thanks!
Hi there, great seeing you again weeee hart you videos thanks for sharing
Triumph Tiger 660 is calling your name!
😁 th-cam.com/video/BPIikpnbq9s/w-d-xo.html
2016 model is best in the class ❤🔥🌹
l got my neck gattor here down under few weeks ago thanks heaps Doodle.... cheers
Yay! 😁
Leaks coming out about Triumph working on an adventure bike based on the 660 Trident.
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Wow 3 years. doesn't seem that long.
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.
Wait till you move up to the Speed Triple. Whatta bike!
Thanks nice video. I throughly enjoyed it and I can’t even ride. Sigh...
Having been on bikes since i was 12 .... If your looking fir a off road bike .... As I heard you .... As a option keep the bike you have and get a honda ..like a XR 350 / 250 if available if you want small or the XR 650 .... Those are great bikes and are simple this way you can jump from one bike to the other ...... / have the best of both worlds ......
I’m not really into modern bikes, but I’d give garage space to one of these. What an engine.
Isn’t ittt thoooo
Garage? Bedroom space! 😂
Missed your posts
Missed gosh guys!!
Ok so you’re of the opinion of keeping this bike. Fair take, off-roading is so fun....invest in a used Tiger 800 and have at it. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
