- Living with the Triumph Street Cup - Long Term Review : I've been riding Triumph's Cafe Racer Street Cup for a while now and have ridden it on all types of roads, during the day and night and in all weathers. In this video I look at the practical ownership aspects of the bike, what it's like to actually live with the Triumph Street Cup.

I've got the 2018 black and silver one, my first triumph, love it, I chose it because of the colour, I didn't like the colours of the street twins. although it could do with another gear. changed to higher handle bars, I swap the seat over to a bench seat for when the misses wont's to come out for a ride. thanks for your vid Andy.
Always a great review. I will be riding my Street Cup on a 500 miles total-round trip from Atlanta to Tennessee in a few weeks. Will take intermediate breaks as required in the trip.
Thanks for a great review helped me decide with confidence on buying my street cup ,returning to two wheels after 34 years
First thing - the mirrors. Dealers have set them up wrong, they should be the other way round with the wide part to the outside, then you don´t have such a wide bike, the rear view vision is still just as good, even better actually.
I have now done 5000km on my Street Cup. and the fuel guage corrects itself a lot quicker now after fuel stops. Ecconomy is excellent.
The handing problem you had is down to cool weather and cool tyres. Now that I have got them well scrubbed in and up to temperature they work fine and have now very narrow chicken strips. The bike handles great now, although I will be changing the tyres for something else when they wear out.
To carry a passenger you need a replacement seat. Under the cowl is a hump. I have invested in a spare seat from a T100 and only comes out when the wife wants a ride.
I also had a centre stand fitted for the reasons you mentioned, and also knee pads.
After 2 months and 5000kms of ownership I am very happy with it.
Good video you made too......
Thanks for that lot - always good to hear from someone with some longer term experience - thanks for watching and for stopping by - TMF
Does the T100 seat or street twin seat bolt on directly to the street cup? I dont understand why the cup comes with passanger pegs from the factory.
@@HooDRidEWhiteY Yes it does, although it is slightly longer than the cup´s original seat.
Cracking review, im a 45year old who passed his full test a few days ago and the local triumoh dealer has a brand new one of these down to 6995 otr, do u recommend the street cup as a good nice first bike, i was in there looking at the street twin but the cup took my eye, i can have the handle bars changed for 250 if once i test ride i prefer the trad type. Be intresting to know your thoughts.
@@andrewharris7123 Hey Andrew, I just picked one of these up. You've probably bought a bike by now but just for anyone else sitting on the fence, I'm an experienced rider but I would say these would make a great first 'big' bike. The power delivery is very smooth and there's really nothing to catch out the inexperienced motorcyclist. If you're ok with the riding position then go for it.
Thank you. I love my Street Cup - but it's reassuring to see a positive review that's so knowledgeable, sensible and to-the-point.
Thanks for watching! The noise from the exhaust features in the opening of all my videos since!
I have a 2013 triumph explorer with 25,000 miles on the clock, absolutely love it , no problems with it just the rear wheel nuts, three have gone rusty plus the front brake hose connecter has gone rusty, it always lives in a garage and is kept clean. the rest of the bike has kept it's looks especially the exhaust down pipes.
+Peter Gunton How strange, out of interest do you use ACF50 or similar??
Rode from Norwich to London on a XS 250 about 1980 wearing boots, jeans, tshirt and leather jacket and gloves. It was sleeting,slushy snowing and raining. I was like a block of ice by the time I got to my destination Haha.
Crikey - rather you than me....
The #1 best channel for Motorcycle review!
Such a beautiful bike, that yellow is so nice.
+Mk Jackary Yes the Yellow certainly seems to work on this bike doesn't it :0)
I have the yellow one. I see so many admire my motorcycle wherever I may roam! They use the word "Beautiful bike" often and yes, it is beautiful!
Great review and I have the exact same bike with a tail tidy that greatly improved the rear end. IMHO the Street Cup in yellow is one of the best looking bikes out there. When I stop riding I will park it in my living room!
Just turn the bar end mirrors to the inside. Makes filtering a lot easier.
+I GolfinOz Very good point!
Excellent work on the review as usual, sir. I may be in the minority but I really love the looks of the Street Cup. And I like the price. it's one of the least expensive bikes in Triumph's line. I may have to take one out for a spin before the snow flies.
I think you'll like it - it sounds one of the best too.....
I like it too. Would probably take that fly screen off, but other than that, very nice.
I went on my first ride with her yesterday and loved it. As far as the turns I really felt very comfortable but I also don't have much to compare it too since this is my first bike.
+Kaprina Steward congratulations and enjoy!
Great video. I waited to see what you said even after I purchased the bike. I really appreciate the full reviews.
+Kaprina Steward Thanks - do you agree with my conclusions?
TheMissendenFlyer yes. I haven't taken her in the interstate here and I'm not allowed to filter here in Ohio but she's great around town. Sometimes I feel she lags at lowers speeds. But that could be me trying to get used to shifting and getting a feel for what gear she should be in.
I've only done a little night driving and sound the lights to be pretty good.
She does sound awesome.
Brakes have been perfect.
I have found maneuvering really easy but I haven't been as tight a space as a garage just a drive way and didn't notice anything awkward.
That's all I can remember right now.
The seat is very comfortable.
+Kaprina Steward Great stuff Kaprina, I'm glad we concur! Enjoy your new bike and ride safe....all the best - TMF
Thanks for a great review as usual! I have the loan of a Street Scrambler for the weekend and am now off out for a ride around Oxon & Bucks. It makes me smile just to look at it and seems to sip fuel like the Street Twin & T100. (Currently returning 62 mpg) Look forward to your Bobber review too!
+Pyro1251 Enjoy your time with the SS - I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one of those next month for a long term Review...
From first impressions it would make an excellent second bike, not sure about long journeys but will see after today's foray!
I like riding in the rain, hones your skills. Plus if you ever want to fling in Scoland or Wales you have to love the rain.
Ray mate, I think you may be coming down with something..... ;0)
Another great long term review. Those 90 degree tyre valves are something every bike manufacturer needs to look into. I bought a 90 degree valve that you can screw on in seconds but I don't always remember to carry it with me when riding. I know what you mean about the bar end mirrors. Since fitting them to my MT125, it's now way wider than my Tracer. I've clipped a couple of wing mirrors during the morning filtrage. lol
+Kevin Taylor Oops!
It leans into corners...so does the Super Ténéré that I test rode, and so does my new 2019 Africa twin. You will get used to it quickly, I know I did, and I love it that way. That same effect makes for very tight U-turns as well. Scary at first, but then it’s okay, I’ve not dropped the bike yet, and I’m not even a seasoned rider. Quite new to Adventure bikes, and any bike over 400cc.
Awesome videos thanks! Ive tried a T100, 1200 thruxton (too aggressive), considered the Speed Twin also (I can afford it but its just too much bike - maybe a in a few years time). Have decided on a Street Cup coming back to two wheels after a couple decades away. Buying it sight unseen as its too far way to look at. But at 5000km on the clock, and 2019 - can't go wrong. Practically all the reviews online say how great it is. Your videos helped a lot. Just subscribed. Cheers
Welcome along and congratulations on your new bike - they sound amazing as you hear on my intros (which is a Street Cup)....
Excellent review.
Front Tyre is 100/90-18 on 18 x 2.75in wheel in the specs I saw, that's a little larger and narrow compared to a 675 Street Triple and might explain why it tips in easily with probably less feel but I guess you'd get used it after a while. Great review of the practical aspects of owning and running the bike.
+Sharp Bends Thank you Sharp Bends - appreciate the kind words- TMF
I think that the centre stand listed under accessories for the 2017 Street TWIN will work on the Street CUP frame. Double check that with your local dealer.
Yes I imagine it possibly would - good call!
Love this channel and reviewing style. Helped me to decide to go for this beauty. Now anxiously awaiting delivery!
Awesome! Thank you!
yes use similar, I get it from the mega bike store in swindon, been today, brand new richa cordura jacket £50. worth a visit for cheap clothing ect.
What a beautiful bike! I want one
really enjoyed your review nice straight forward well spoken English and no silly loud music or "screaming culture " as we see and hear so much of these days. well done thank you :)
Thanks Robert - glad you liked it!
Greetings from New York City and another great video and review. Your channel has been very helpful for me and my adventures on two wheels. Cheers! g
+Meat and Motorcycles Glad to have been of use! Thanks for watching and for the kind words- all the best- TMF
Great review. Had a nice long sit on a silver and black one of these at the Bangkok International Motor Show yesterday. Love the bike. The only thing I'd change is the bar-end mirrors for ones that are flush with the grips. This brings the total width of the bike in-line with that of a Honda PCX 150 scooter--great for filtering in Bangkok. Keep up the great review...Cheers....John.
+John Mackay Thank you John...
do more Long Term Reviews mate! these rock
+Fritz Kühne Thank you - I intend too!
I really like these 'living with the bike' videos, it's nice to get a real feel of ownership from a fellow enthusiast. Nice one TMF.
+Marc Russell Thank you Mark, I'd hoped it would offer something different from the usual reviews - certainly it's the sort of thing I'd like to watch. Only problem is you do need the bike for a long period to be able to do them, and of course (apart from Triumphs) I'm not able to get hold of other bikes for similar lengths of time....
Yes, of course, having a variety of different brands on longer tests would add a lot of substance to the overall comparison, but the tips and observations does help you to know what to look for in a bike when doing a test ride.
+Marc Russell :0)
The fuel gauge thing - a common "problem" I think, my T120 has to be absolutely to the brim to register full - and it takes a few minutes to register after re-fuelling. Also had dials changed under warranty - condensation in them. There's been a few I think - Captain R had his replaced on his Thruxton. Nice sensible review. (Still loving my RE - you really must get one!) Regards, Jon.
+JLO Staff ....still really tempted...and yes the Tiger Sport I recently had was the same and the Bobber I've been riding of late the same again- must be a Triumph thing....
I had a bit of a giggle when you mentioned about checking the tyre pressures and how some motorcycle manufacturers made it bloody difficult, i like the idea of the angled valve stem it's a little bit similar to my W800. Like you I love the Bonneville and I am tossing up between the T100 and the Street Cup as my next motorcycle.
+Chips Cooper Both nice bikes but personally I preferred the T100....enjoy!
Very good. Better than some of the inarticulate kids doing bike reviews for sure.
+rockafella1690 Thank you :0)
TMF is up there with the most professional channels. My goto place for bike reviews.
Great review, can't wait to get my hands on one
My Thruxton fuel gauge works the same way. Bit of a delay between running the calculations and spitting out the results.
+saddlebag More "Character" to enjoy :0)
My GS is the same. I'm guessing the fuel level & avg consumption/range displays have a lot of damping built in so that they're not constantly fluctuating when the fuel sloshes around in corners (or wheelies), or when you give the throttle a quick goose for an overtake before settling back to a cruise.
Thank You My Good Sir! 🙌🏼🏍👍🏼👍🏼
+Spartan_300 you're very welcome...
Great review as always, I test rode the new (ish) scrambler last friday, and I must say its a good bike. Apart from the motorway performance, it was ok up to 70mph but after that it didn't want to accellerate any more, probably down to the different seating position and increased wind resistance.
+John Aspinall Yes all these new 900cc Bonnevilles have their poke where you need it (low down) it seems to me, but they soon run out of puff at high speeds...
I live in germany, 70mph on the motorway is no fun.
May I suggest buying a tyre pressure gauge with a flexible hose attachment to eliminate any problems reaching the valves.
You can indeed! :0)
Finally a good COMPLETE review. Good work sir
Thank YOU very much ;0)
I'm looking to get this bike soon hopefully!!
Hi TMF its great to see somebody do a proper real world test. Even the comics don't do that, brilliant keep em coming.
+John Woodruff Thank you John, it's the kind of thing that I would like to watch so glad you find it of interest too....
Great review as usual. I love the look of the Street Cup and kind of hope my son buys one... One thing, it rather looks as though you were still sitting astride the bike as you refilled. Not good policy for safety reasons and in fact here in Oz if you try that the pump console operator often won't reset it for you until you dismount! Without the stand down the bike isn't earthed and a small fuel spill onto your pants could also be dangerous.
+Chris Heggie Cheers Chris - and point noted re sitting on the bike to refuel!
hmm, How does a car get earthed? maybe through the hose itself?
Good point but much less chance of spilling fuel on self when refilling a car.
Hi TMF,
Another interesting review as always. But I have been wondering why Triumph do most of their classic bikes with spoked wheels. From an aesthetic view point spokes are best...but...spoked wheels usually mean inner tubes and this is a big deal if you are unfortunate enough to get a puncture on the road. Cast wheels with tubeless tyres can be plugged in 20 minutes if you get a flat. Triumph could think about offering tubeless spoked wheels...I would be happy to pay the extra cost.
Yep, good point...
Such a beauty, great summary! 👍🏻
+Cotti Thanks...
Re fuel my rocket roadster does the same thing. I ignore it until the light comes on again. TBF my bmw hp2 does the same; it's only a bit fast due to its smaller tank (13ltr)
+sqd8r Let's put it down to character..... ;0)
Great review, thank you so much!
good work. great review.
enjoy your perfect bikers sunny sunday afternoon everyone 😎
cheers Tom
+Thomas Geser Thanks Tom....
when you fill the tank, the bike needs to be on the side stand or there seems to be airpockets remaining. at least that was my experience on my street cup. once I did, the tank was full and those top two bars on the gauge were indicating so.
Thanks for that - good intel!
top review, love the real world perspective, will subscribe.
+TheKnightstar13 Thank you sir! Will be great to have you along! All the best - TMF
Good work, as usual. 😊👍 Keep it up.😎
+JIGA BACHI Thank you Jiga - I'll try my best too!
I'm with you on the looks, T100 is definitely the way to go, another good video TMF !
+Luke Paul Just a matter of personal taste of course but to me the T100 is a little less of a show off....
You review is superb. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Lovely video. Simple and informative :)
+Rohan Davis Thanks
Any chance you might get to borrow a Daytona 675r? absolutely love that bike, the best middleweight superbike out there in terms of stats, and in my opinion in terms of looks too. I have had a look and it doesn't look like you have made a video on it in the past, but would love to see one of your reviews on it.
As always top video mate
+Mk Jackary Id love a go on a Daytona, unfortunately Triumph don't have one on their press fleet for me to borrow at the moment...but I'll keep working on it as I think it will be interesting to compare both to my Street Triple and 899 Panigale....thanks for the kind words - TMF
Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Didn't think I could recall a Daytona review, alas, now I know why! They certainly seem popular.
Must be a predictive range which is probably more accurate but like you say.....have to be a bit patient. Looks a nice little bike though. Love these tests. All the best.
+Steve Inskip Yes I think you're right, there's some averaging out going on over time too I suspect - thanks for watching as ever - TMF
seeing you fill up have you noticed how often pumps always go past the 00 and go to the 01pence i wonder how much the oil companies make from this
+Peter Latham Yes I often wonder about calibration of pumps, I like to assume there's some overseeing authority that makes sure they are highly accurate....but then again....
What about the Kawasaki W800? Will you review one? It’s a good counterpoint to both the Royal Enfield Continental GT and the Triumph Thruxton and Speed Cup.
I'd love too but sadly Kawasaki don't "do" TH-camrs.....
lol the street cup dash looks like a robot frowning wearing a hat
Awesome looking bike. Great review. Can't believe I've not long found your channel!! I live down the road in Aylesbury!!!!!! Do you ever do meet ups/rides. Would be great to do a group ride or something. Ride safe👍🏻👍🏻
+Aj Pipkin What kept you?? Good to have you along ;0)
TheMissendenFlyer to be honest....I have no idea what took me so long!!!!! haha ride safe and I look forward to more awesome content👍👍👌👌
+Aj Pipkin Cheers - more on the way, I post Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays with the occasional Monday bonus ....of which one tomorrow ;0)
TheMissendenFlyer good to hear. Ive got notifications on so hopefully I won't miss anything!!!!! look forward to bonus Monday 2moro!!
Thank you so much. Excellent job as always. One thing I might have missed is your take on any uncomfortable pressure (if any) on the wrists due to the cafe racer style clip ons. I own a cafe racer and it gets pretty tiresome 15 mins into the ride... will I regret getting one? Cheers man
Not much pressure on this one - position isn't extreme....
Yellow looks sick
Would this be a good first bike? Love the styling and yellow!
Really enoy your real world reviews as opposed to the usual bike mag reviews where paid journalists get to ride around some beautiful location in a foreign land while pretending to be racing through the hills when they're actually on escorted rides. Your reviews are far more informative of what an owner would experience on a daily basis. As a side note, here in the USA, the covers on the fuel dispenser handles are the opposite of Europe. Here, diesel nozzles are green and petrol ( or gas ) are black. Just a heads up to any European visitors planning to visit the States and rent a bike or car over here. Getting it wrong would be an expensive mistake. Cheers.
+gwynn romano Good call Gwynn! Wonder why we're not all internationally synchronised on this one? I also love the way you can lock US pumps in the on position whilst you fill up - not too much of an issue on bikes but my car holds 120 litres and that takes ages to fill...
TheMissendenFlyer The only negative to having pump handles that lock on is that people are not always the brightest. I saw a woman last week start filling her car and walk away to shop inside the store (against the law ). Evidently she didn't have the nozzle all of the way into the tank neck and as a consequence the automatic shutoff didn't trigger and she was pumping fuel onto the ground until the guy across from her car noticed and ran over and cut it off. That could have been a real disaster. As they say, you can't fix stupid.
+gwynn romano oops!
lovely review as always, I might get one then I can say to the wife " just popping out for a cuppa", the finish on my triumph is the only let down with the bike, the wheel nuts have gone rusty also the brake hose connectors, my only gripe though.
+Peter Gunton Just remind me which Triumph you have Peter? My 2012 Street Triple is holding up fine, no corrosion and nuts and bolts look good (but then it's always lived in my garage and gets lots of love).....
I really love the looks of this street cup. The closest dealer to me has a 2017 model available new, do you happen to know of any changes they made to the bike for 2019, I don't know where to look for that info and my dealer is absolutely worthless when it comes to asking questions like this, there answer is we don't know. I read somewhere that they moved the weight lower but not sure if that's true. Thanks for the review and your help.
I don't think there have been any major changes - if the 2017 bike is a good 'un, snap it up!
You will find the leaning feeling is the choice of tyres.
Yes may be....thanks for watching - TMF
Now you have a speed twin in the staple.
I do indeed....
All the reviews are excellent, do you plan to do one for the new street twin?
No plans currently 🙁
Excellent Review!
Cheers :0)
Apparently,they were selling these off for £6.500 in a southern dealer.all gone
Wish the blinkers shut off automatically, used to Harley I guess
Hi TMF, I’m thinking of getting one but my only concern is that I’m 6’4”. I’m 19 though so supposedly less vulnerable to discomfort but I’ve been working to buy this so want to make the right choice. Many thanks for any help.
For me it’s up against the street scrambler but that would come with more associated costs for me (more knobbly tires, higher starting price, etc.) and I prefer the look of the Cup. I just don’t want to feel uncomfortable / look silly.
It is quite a small bike - test ride is the answer!
I'd like to ask you sth TMF... visited dealer couple days ago, bored with current bike and looking for sth new. When looking at Triumph Tiger Sport 1050 salesman came in and told me they had this regular customer who switches bikes every couple months so had them hundreds and said to them apparently that if could only have one TTS 1050 would be his ultimate allrounder. I found it interesting. Having thinking how would this compare to beloved GS.... which one would be your one and only bike TTS 1050 or GS and how would you support this view?
Great Video, loved it so much I bought one.
Nice one Terry :0)
I got one too last year
My street Triple fuel gauge does the same thing,takes ages to register
I’m jealous your Street Triple has a fuel gauge!
Fantastic Review! Would be great o see you review the 2017 Moto Guzzi V7 III Stone.
Thank you! ...and would love too, just need to find someone to lend me one!
Sorry to bother, I wanted to ask you, is the street cup made with the same T100 engine ? How you would compare this vs T100.. ty and have a nice day 😊
Hello Andy one Q: when I had a test ride with both, the ST and the T120 I had the feeling that both bikes like to run wide at first when approaching a corner and suddenly (when getting slower) the steering starts feeling light as if the bike would like to immediately go around the corner. It feels as if I would need to fight the bike which than unexpected turns. I also noticed that in roundabouts I feel like I'd lean more to the inside than the bike is willing to go (runs wide and I have to force it arround). In contrast to my TEX which simply behaves the expected way of "it goes where I direct it".
What's your take on the STCup in regards to the steering behaviour?
Stay safe.
It was a while ago since I rode it and cant honestly remember!
Do you know if you are able to rotate the handlebar upwards at the clamp to raise the bars and give a comfier riding position. Thanks
I don’t I’m afraid....
@@TheMissendenFlyer OK tha ks for the reply 👍 great vids. Try and get a modern Sr400 to review 😁
Hello. I know it's been a while but what was the forward lean like? Was it heavy on the wrists? (I'm 5ft 10") Also, I do most of my biking on B roads with poor surfaces, how did it handle on fast country lanes?
Handling is great with a bit of forward wrists - great noise - it's the engine I use on my intro...
Nice review mate. Does sound great I agree. What's the rev limit with these bikes?
+stephen spiteri Thanks Stephen, unfortunately I don't know what the limit is and the bike has gone back to Triumph now! Sorry....
Found your reviews on the interesting part... just that bloody good... and solid British... welcome being a member of my channels... I subscribed... m
+Marc Daniel Good to have you along Marc, cheers!
Don’t get me wrong I love the look of this bike. However, it appears that Triumph cheaped out on the front fork, it looks cheap and flimsy, has anyone noticed this as well?
I think this bike is built to a price to a degree,that said I didn't notice anything wrong with the fork....thanks for watching - TMF
Hi Missenden Flyer,
How do you find the street cup for taller riders? I'm 6ft and I have bought the bike, I'm just apprehensive when it arrives it might feel cramped on longer rides? I am used to smaller bikes having only owned small bikes before. (Honda CD250U, and BSA C15). But nothing with a more racey geometry.
Well if you're used to smaller bikes then I'm sure you'll be fine, for a cafe racer style machine it's not particularly cramped - The Street Cup is the best sounding bike out there!! (I use it on all my intros)......
@@TheMissendenFlyer Thankyou for the reply :) I can't wait for it to arrive !
Exciting times waiting for a new bike eh?
Hi always enjoy your videos what type of business do you run from home
+Gillian Kenny Thanks Gillian...
If you were to put different pipes on which would you choose?
I'd go with the Vance and Hines....
TheMissendenFlyer I wish that I knew what the difference in sound was and if it's really worth the extra expense.
nice looking bike in that colour, is the fuel cap as fiddly and annoying as it looks. Still can't get that bulldog wearing a hat out my thoughts watching this. Also like those cast wheels .
+Glen Whyte Actually the fuel cap is a bit of a faff at first but once you know how it operates it's not a problem....unlike the bulldog face!
Street cup vs the Bonneville bobber?
I prefer the Bobber.....
Sir, do you remmeber what are the Indicated RPM at 60 MPH?
Nope - sorry.....
dallatorretdu TMF says in the video that at 80 it was doing c 4,000 revs, which means at 60 would be c3,000 revs. Just below peak torque, so plenty of power there, which ties in with my findings - certainly on fast roads the wind becomes an issue before the power does.
How does it compare to the thruxton 1200?
Not so well, the Thruxton is a much nicer machine....
TheMissendenFlyer is the Thruxton $5000 nicer?
you dont have to pay before pumping ?
Nope - not in the U.K. you don’t....
Petty bike, amazing how modern "retro" is in the market place now, which is great. Great review balanced views as always.
+Henry Cooper Thank you Henry, appreciate the kind comments...TMF
Pleasure just stating facts. I sent you a PM on you tube, not sure if I did it correctly. If you did receive it and fancy chatting about it let me know. If not, don't worry I quite understand.
Good work as ever - on a another plane, as I assume you love flying, are you aware of the work of "gyrocopter girl" on YT? I think you'd most likely admire her "work" :-) Sadly never features bikes.
+Callover Pete Yes i'm a sub :0)
In your professional view, is she technically adept?
+Callover Pete Well Who cares, I don't watch her for her flying skills! ;0)
you really should get off the bike while refueling....
+Tony Tng So several have said, I have since seen the error of my ways :0) Thanks for watching - TMF
Maybe a silly question but: Why? A safety issue perhaps? Otherwise I've always figured it'ss better to fuel up with the bike as upright as possible. Is this wrong?
@@greggusan Well, when the gas spills on the heated exhaust, it can cause an ignite if the exhaust is very hot 280 °C (536 °F). I first heard about this at MCRider youtube channel and he advises not do sit on the bike while fueling for the same cause.
@@greggusan Actually the fuel cap is off-set on Triumph, so you get it filled properly while stood on the side stand.
@@huntley53 Yes, I guess that would be a benefit of the offset cap! Always offhandedly thought it was an aesthetics choice.
Seems very strange watching a person ride on the wrong side!! Good review though.
