You are right, the original 675 is still great. If you are looking to twin test against the new one, and see if it is rose tinted specs or not, I have a 2007 original one owner from new low mileage example you can borrow…would love to see how it compares to the new one on the road just for fun.
this is the first bike (closely followed by the BMW S1000r) that has made me seriously consider changing my 2015 Street Triple. I need to get on one of these when they get to the showrooms.
I had a 2016 ST 675 and man those bikes handle. It instantly made me a better rider because it gave so much confidence. Wouldn’t even consider another middle weight naked bike for sporty riding. And man these 2023 look absolutely gorgeous..
Absolutely spot on with the 675. I've still got a 2011 Street Triple R, it has just over 40k km(±25000 mi), it's meticulously maintained and i cannot see myself parting with it anytime soon. There's a certain rawness that it has that makes you giggle like a little child. Would I love to own one of these newer ones, sure, but not as a replacement, an addition. We have some of the best riding roads in Cape Town and it brings pure joy when you twist the throttle and that triple come alive under you, all while that Leo Vince GP style exhaust makes the most glorious noise.
OMG!!! I've never rated Triumph until now, this bike is a mix of German and Italian with an 'British' twist. They do say a Good cocktail needs three ingredient and this bike has it👍🏻
While the 'man reads pdf' vids are nice, this is just so much better having someone from the brand to explain what they did and why. Very good informative vid! And triumph if your reading this, MAKE A BLOODY DAYTONA
My Mt09 850 was walloped by a 675 Daytona on a legit runway drag race from third gear onwards, I got away a little quicker but that quickshifter and better aerodynamics soon reeled me in. Great little bike.
Great SECOND bike. For anyone that needs to hear this. I started on a ninja 400 and was struggling with higher speeds on highway and the bike was being moved a lot by the wind. Recently picked up a 23 rs and couldn’t be happier. Feels 10 times faster while still being very responsive and not jumpy at all. Rides very well at 70-80 miles per hour through heavy wind. Feels as light as the 400 but handles better and is wayyyy more stable. Worth the purchase!!!! Awesome bike❤️
Thanks for posting this comment- it's very helpful for me as I am looking to make a similar jump in 6 months or so. I am currently riding a Yamaha R3 and am wondering if this/MT09SP/Duke 890R would be too much of a jump up or if I can handle it. Sounds like you think this is a doable move if you came from a Ninja 400?
@@HumblePeon2 yes the street triple for sure. Idk about the mt or duke. I know the triple has a very linear hp and torque power if you look at the graph is very much the same power at all Rpm which makes it more friendly and less jerky for us beginners.
Would love to see an option to raise the footpegs up a little. I rode the 2021 model on track in Spain last year and it was amazing. BUT, when you're really giving it the beans the pegs do catch a little bit. Even if it was 15mm of adjustment, that would be awesome.
Can we just appreciate how triumph seems to be completely on top of the game. It's 50 years ago the britisk really dominated automotive, but it seems triumph is as attractive as any producer nowadays. If I were to buy a new bike, it could very easily be a triumph
No one talks about ease of maintenance. After owning Ducati's for the last decade and recently buying a Triumph, I have to say the way the Triumph is packaged makes life so much easier. I hope the new ones are the same.
I’ve owned x765 r/s . The updates aren’t massive enough to have another. However, if you have never owned a middleweight…it would seem the RS is still king. More agility is not something I’ve ever thought the RS needed, . But have cat agility now :-)
Never been a Triumph fan being aligned to KTM, but I have to say these bikes look great. The Moto2 is glorious. It’s great to see how the Triumph guy is so enthusiastic and eloquent about his bikes. Also good to see Al’s feedback as an experienced racer and reviewer.
I have both the Duke 890R and the "older" 765 Striple. But the Duke is far more fun when it comes to street riding. I love the torque on the Duke. But the Striple's soundtrack is epic though
Fantastic bike. Also so many of these launch videos out today, so great to hear someone talk about this bike who is genuinely interested in the bike and knows his stuff! Best vid on this bike so far.
I've had a 2014 and now a 2018 street triple r. Not loving the smaller tank but cornering abs/tc and linked brakes is a nice update. We've had throttle by wire for like 6 years now where's the cruise control? Hard to make improvements on such a good bike so I shouldn't complain too much
I actually really like the idea of having a naked bike that I can slap fairings on and go racing with. One of the issues I have with my sv is the annoyance of installing/removing headlights and fairings before and after each track day. I wonder how easy this bike would be for that.
I like the obligatory pics of 'slick at the Daytona 200. Had a nice conversation with him at Daytona Bike Week in 2021, when he was racing the 200 and the AFT Flat Track on the same weekend.
Very nice. That power level will be perfect, although I can't say the old bike was sluggish steering or in need of "sharper" handling... I had a devil of a time with a tendency to fall into corners on my old 2009, and I had a similar experience with a 2019 I rode a few years ago. No such problems now with the tuono v4. More stability would be welcome for the street triple from my perspective. Ymmv.
Any idea if it Cruise Control will be compatible with previous 2020+ ST765 considering it comes as an accessory and most likely only requires a firmware update?
Why oh why they don't make this with a full fairing is beyond me. I would literally be banging on my dealerships front door before they unlock in the morning.
Because despite people saying that, most people aren't actually putting their money where their mouth is. Buy it and put a fairing on it if you want. There are plenty of aftermarket options.
Stuart really knows his stuff but branded corporate types do feel a bit too polished for me. Cracking bikes no doubt, hope finance doesn’t hurt bike sales too badly come spring, going to need some high residuals to counter interest rates on PCP.
Reminds me of talking to my dad. Nice new car dad, I like the dark blue paint. Ok, well it’s not that dark. No yeah, it’s not dark dad. The triumph guy is not letting anything by the PR machine, what a pro.
People don’t understand the comment at 16:00 unless you’ve ridden a 07-16. There’s an immediacy that went away when the 765 came out. I agree that he is unswayed. I sold my 765 and went back to a 2013. A beautiful machine.
I know this is pretty irrelevant I'm just excited about it. I bought my first big bike 8 years ago and rode and loved it for 2 years but due to quite extreme financial difficulty I was unable to justify the running cost of what is effectively just a toy. I sorned it with the intention of getting back on the road when I was more stable, maybe a year at most I thought. 6 years later I'm finally able to get it back on the road and will be riding again soon
Electronics: Is ABS and anti-wheelie linked like on the 1200RS, so you have to have everything either on or off, or can you switch anti-wheelie off and still have all the rider aids? Do those settings revert back to everything on when the bike is restarted or does it remember those rider settings? Can you now change rider mode on the fly or do you have to come to a complete stand-still to change modes? Why do journos complain about these things that everyone hates, but never ask these questions when they’re with the manufacturer?
fairings bring you more money, Triump! you made 3 naked versions of the same bike.. put a fairing on the Moto2 version and call it Speed triple - F ... job done!
Street racing on single lane winding back roads Importance in this order: Handling Weight Torque Handling and weight are very much intertwined. My 1976 Triumph T140V Bonneville 750 (744 cc's) won against every street motorcycle on the roads of Long Island NY, U.S.A. for over 10 consecutive years. I got married and stoped cacing. Then I came out of retirement in 1992 and she still won against every street motorcycle although now she was long in the tooth, she had lost about 5 mph from her top end speed. But that hardly mattered at all because on twisting off cambered single lane country back roads top speed was not a consideration. What mattered was the ability to track the exact line of my choice- "always". My Bonneville held the line I wanted. Light weight allowed me to ride at 9/10th's when racing and still live to tell about it. We never crashed! Sometimes the road is different from the last time I raced upon it and light weight and excellent handling allowed me to recover from a little bit of over cooking things in the corners when road conditions were changed from day to day and still lead anything racing against her. No motorcycle ever kept a wheel ahead of my Bonneville. If every a rider motorcycle would put a wheel ahead of her she would instantly go into race mode and take the lead. Once in the lead she remained in the lead. This applied to short road races to grueling long races from one town to another. It was a good feeling when my selection of a new 1976 Triumph Bonneville for street racing based upon her specifications turned out to be spot on. She made me a winner for over 10 consecutive years and that had a great effect on my life. Made in "Meriden" England is stenciled in Gold on the front left frame downtube. Since my name is Peter Nelson I took it upon myself to defend England in the way that I was able to. My father was a sailor and I had sat upon his Triumph Motorcycle in a garage in 1955 when I was 5 years old, so that also had an effect on me. If you knew just how many young men riding the latest Japanese street racing motorcycles that literally scoffed at me when we crossed paths while hanging around somewhere, only to tell me after having come in behind me on my beloved Triumph Bonneville in the race that always ensued you would be amused some even went so far as to tell me that they always wanted a Triumph. That was my quest to honor England and to keep the Triumph name alive by just doing what came natural to me and that was racing as an ameture. I would never tarnish my heart wanting to get paid to risk my life when I taught so many young American Men that "Britannia Rules The Waves" and "The Streets"! Just so you know. When I was a toddler about 3-1/2 years of age I rode my 3 wheeled tricycle from our home on a single lane back road all the way into town a distance of about 2 miles and once there the man who owned the local "Mobile" gas station located on the corner ran out and scooped me and my tricycle up by grabbing the handlebars in the center. He thought that I was going to ride my tricycle onto the main street and be killed. I told him "I know what I'm doing as I have just ridden my tricycle all the way here from my home, miles away from where he was now standing. I told him I did that by keeping to the roads (pavement) very edge where the sand and gravel is - away from the cars and I was not "now" about to ride into main street traffic. That was around 1954, then on January 10th, 1977 some 23 years later I purchased my own brand new 1976 Triumph 750 Bonneville from him. His name was "Pete Cursio" and he lived on Dare Road Selden, the very road I had ridden my tricycle on so many years ago. He remembered that occasion too. - Peter Nelson age 73
Fantastic looking bikes, especially in that yellow. I'm still clinging on to my 2010 R - if you want to do an old vs new comparison you're welcome to it!
Same here. The only reason I haven't purchased a triumph is because of those headlights. Personal opinion of course ,but I know a lot more people that feel the same way.
It's weird how they say it's not worth it to make a Daytona because the sales won't be high enough but they think offering three different roadsters makes sense
But the moto2 is a limited edition isn't it? 765 of each colour available. So in reality there will only be the r and rs once they've sold all of the moto2's.
Perhaps they could have made Dayton instead of moto 2 version and sold as limited edition or they may as well add one more I mean they don't need to do anything just change the styling for god sakes, but the moto 2 version looks proper track machine tho
Ref the original Streety. As a teen I had a Yam RD250DX, the 400 then 350 LC was beyond my budget. Now owned a 09 Streety from new. It is so like an RD+++. Sadly it has to go, as my old bones suffer. Looking for something gentler.
Will the engines explode as often as on the 675s or have different mjor failures like the Thruxtons. When Swedish or German Magazines tests Triumphs they perform well but almost never finishes the test due to major problems....... Nice Swedish suspension and Italian brakes though.
Well damn. The Moto2 will be in my garage next year and the Mrs. will make sure I'm out there with it. That's the exact #3 I've been waiting for. Great piece 44
I don’t understand it either. The fuel capacity is one of the few things I miss about my old Z900 on my MT-09. And I also like it when a bike has some width.
God those are very pretty. Every year updated bikes are revealed I always get very mad saying, why didn’t I just wait one more year to buy the Street Triple! I know, I’m a big poor fat baby with first world problems😭
They could continue naming it the Moto2 and make it a full production bike, but put a fairing on it!!! The RS can be the naked version and the Moto2 can be the more relaxed supersport (RS660 like).
I'm proper excited about these bikes, I had a 765R low ride height back in 2018 and it was a cracking bike, but it was a mistake me getting the low version, and the colour options were a bit boring as well. I can't wait to see these in the flesh up at Motorcycle Live, I hope they have the yellow RS version too... am mostly glad that they have gone with gloss paint over matt... the orange Speed Triple, so should have been gloss!
i feel like your more inclined to buy a speed triple rs than the moto 2 edition. price wise you get pretty much everything with more power for 4 thousand more.. minus the clip ons and exclusivity. just my opinion seems to be way to close in price to a speed triple rs.
I really hope the Daytona comes back. I'm not a fan of "naked" bikes anyway, but those headlights on the ST are, well, not great. Really looks like a great set of bikes with great options otherwise.

Slap a bloody faring and call it a Daytona already.
Maybe in 10 years
wish they'd bring back the daytona. I'd sell my triple in a heartbeat lol
@@applecorp the colours do look shit apart from the flouro yellow one

Agreed. Talking about the track and still not having a fairing is ridiculous.
Bring back the Daytona Triumph. You thick or what?

I had a 2015 street I was well impressed with her could sling her round like a 125 had great fun with her now got a 2016 speed r also great fun
This would be a very cool comparison
hell yeah
Make this video happen!!!
Hands down Stuart is the best manufacturer rep on these tech/launch vids. WE LOVE the details .. keep'm coming!
The red on the RS makes a certain part of my body tingly. Damn that looks good
Oh that moto2 version looks very naughty!
Doesn’t it just! I reckon they will sell a ton of these John!,, only up the road from me also!, hmmm 🤔

As a user, i would like to see the change of the dash. It think it is a bit hard to read sometimes. Other than i am loving mine tbh.
Limited Editiond are fun (for collectors) but the 765 should be a showroom trim level above the RS. Beautiful bike and love the color!
*Pros -*
128 HP
6-Axis IMU
Cornering ABS & TC
Linked-Dual Braking
(Optional Cruise Control)
*Cons -*
Anti-Wheelie Control?!
I am also interested in the new wheelie control electronics, in the new speed triple it is a tragedy to turn everything off.
Charging extra for cruise control is bonkers!
Any idea if it Cruise Control will be compatible with previous 2020+ ST765 considering it comes as an accessory and most likely only requires a firmware update?
I would love to know the difference in performance and spec between the Moto2 Street Triple RS and the 2020 Moto2 Daytona.
Best question ever about the original!
Is there a scheduled media track/road review event on the books for early 2023? Genuinely tempted to pre-order an RS

That was around 1954, then on January 10th, 1977 some 23 years later I purchased my own brand new 1976 Triumph 750 Bonneville from him. His name was "Pete Cursio" and he lived on Dare Road Selden, the very road I had ridden my tricycle on so many years ago. He remembered that occasion too.

Fantastic looking bikes, especially in that yellow. I'm still clinging on to my 2010 R - if you want to do an old vs new comparison you're welcome to it!
Will be good to sit on these at the MCN show, may they could temp me into parting with some money 🙂
Does it still have the linked wheelie and traction control?? That was the main thing that put me off the RS1200.
They should have put the ohlins fork in the rs even if it was just an optional extra.
The Moto2 edition looks very tempting. It’s a shame there will be no riding reviews before they are probably sold out…
I’m in no doubt that this will be one of the best road bikes on the market, absolutely love my 2015 STRX
Looks nice apart from the horrible display on the TFT the 19 plate had a better display
Touchy buggar ain’t he 😂 that yellow is absolutely stunning though proper nice machine!
Perfect... except for the headlights... I just can't get passed them.
Same here. The only reason I haven't purchased a triumph is because of those headlights. Personal opinion of course ,but I know a lot more people that feel the same way.
Sweet 👌 But there is one model missing in the 2023 line up. Street Triple 765rr with the single headlight the same like bigger brother has 😉
It's weird how they say it's not worth it to make a Daytona because the sales won't be high enough but they think offering three different roadsters makes sense
But the moto2 is a limited edition isn't it? 765 of each colour available. So in reality there will only be the r and rs once they've sold all of the moto2's.
Perhaps they could have made Dayton instead of moto 2 version and sold as limited edition or they may as well add one more I mean they don't need to do anything just change the styling for god sakes, but the moto 2 version looks proper track machine tho
Just sold my '14 675r. Hope a daytona is in the future.
really tempted with one of these, too bad my closest Triumph dealer sucks! (looking at you lings)
Ref the original Streety. As a teen I had a Yam RD250DX, the 400 then 350 LC was beyond my budget. Now owned a 09 Streety from new. It is so like an RD+++. Sadly it has to go, as my old bones suffer. Looking for something gentler.
Will the engines explode as often as on the 675s or have different mjor failures like the Thruxtons. When Swedish or German Magazines tests Triumphs they perform well but almost never finishes the test due to major problems....... Nice Swedish suspension and Italian brakes though.
Waiting for BUDGET BIKE BATTLE BAVARIA episodes. Come on lads. We are gaggin' for it. ( That didn't come out right ).
Going backwards cutting down fuel capacity
Will all the models take clip ons without fouling the dash like the older models do? And proper clip ons, not those risers on the M2?
Miss the old white and red R model. Best looking Striple imo
What a lovely looking Moto 2 bike❤ Will you be test riding the Moto 2? 👌🏻
Oh yes, just got to 17:45 😂👍🏻 Look forward to it.
Well damn. The Moto2 will be in my garage next year and the Mrs. will make sure I'm out there with it. That's the exact #3 I've been waiting for. Great piece 44
Loosing fuel capacity seems somewhat pointless. Its nice to have a bike with at least 240 ish Km before the low fuel light on. But eh.
I don’t understand it either.
The fuel capacity is one of the few things I miss about my old Z900 on my MT-09.
And I also like it when a bike has some width.
Promising, prices are going up though
Would be nice to have that moto colour available on the other versions, bloody boring grey or white to choose from, come on Triumph.
I've seen Fagan's suits. I'm not really sure his impression of the bike's color is the voice of sanity.
That burgundy rs makes me hard! I love street triples and currently own a 675rx but i do sorely miss the daytona
God those are very pretty. Every year updated bikes are revealed I always get very mad saying, why didn’t I just wait one more year to buy the Street Triple! I know, I’m a big poor fat baby with first world problems😭
They look awesome, well done
Great video. Though I really wish they would remodel the lights. The bug eye look is so 1980's. :)
They need to sort those god damn bug eyed headlights on them, otherwise they are a really nice looking bike
They could continue naming it the Moto2 and make it a full production bike, but put a fairing on it!!! The RS can be the naked version and the Moto2 can be the more relaxed supersport (RS660 like).
Excellent video, excellent Triumph!!!
How reliable are the street triples? Ive never bought a European bike.
I'm proper excited about these bikes, I had a 765R low ride height back in 2018 and it was a cracking bike, but it was a mistake me getting the low version, and the colour options were a bit boring as well. I can't wait to see these in the flesh up at Motorcycle Live, I hope they have the yellow RS version too... am mostly glad that they have gone with gloss paint over matt... the orange Speed Triple, so should have been gloss!
I was so close to chopping my gixxer in for one of the early 675s but the part Ex offer was crap.
@@markharrison2484 I'd probably go for the Speed Triple over the Street Triple now, if they did it in these colours
@@HippoDrones triumph colours have been boring for years. Bring back neon pink and orange!!!!
Your old speed triple went ok.
@@markharrison2484 my old Speed Triple was awesome... back before electronics ruled the roost 😁
I own a street triple 765r and a new z900rs which looks great but the 765r has the x factor, even though it looks subdued in black.
in the dark or low light, those headlights almost look like a ducati. they've really come back from the brink with the headlights.
RS moto gp 😎 yes please but I think the mortgage says keep the 675rx 🤔
I’ll buy the 675 some carbon wheels instead? Yeah that’s sensible😂
Well done Triumph!! Tehe Moto2 Edition looks stunning. ...I don´t even get a Brembo MCS on my SF V4 SP...
So glad I didn't buy the 2022 model year, can't wait to jump on the new 23 RS.
i feel like your more inclined to buy a speed triple rs than the moto 2 edition. price wise you get pretty much everything with more power for 4 thousand more.. minus the clip ons and exclusivity. just my opinion seems to be way to close in price to a speed triple rs.
Those bikes look stunning and the moto2 is unbelievable but I don’t want the clip ons it will be an rs for me, can’t wait for road test
I really hope the Daytona comes back. I'm not a fan of "naked" bikes anyway, but those headlights on the ST are, well, not great. Really looks like a great set of bikes with great options otherwise.
Wow, these are stunning, come on so far from my 2015 model.
