Is the Street Triple RS the best middle weight naked? Leave a comment down below. Striple mods in the description. Support the channel: www.petropowered.co
Owned for 4 months now, i love it, i never rode something with such quality and riding comfortness. The power is way enough yeah, and i wasn't really fan of the look, but now i just love it every day i look at it ! I had an akrapovich exhaust, which was anoying with saddle bag (upper position), i so i removed it. And now i'm just with the stock exhaust and the sound is really nice even without aftermarket exhaust ! Simply the best midle weight naked bike !
I just bought a 2022 RS. Picked it up this Saturday in Ft Worth Tx. Rode it Sunday night when i got back from the 7hr trip. This bike is easy to ride. Lots of power. You can feel it just wants to rip. Bought it solely off reviews never ridden it b4. First sport bike ever. Ride cruisers b4. Highly recommend.
Went on a 1300 mile road trip with my 18' Striple RS two weeks ago. AL, TN, NC, and N/GA. Mostly back roads and the occasional jaunt down the interstate. The bike is l weapon on the twistys but still is compliant enough to eat up miles. I bought the bike used from a private seller back in Aug of 20' with 1100 miles on the clock. The bike now has over 8,000 and has performed without any issues. It is way better bike than the rider :) Great review as always. Ride safe!!
It's definitely one of the best of the best for middleweight nakeds, that's for sure. It's on my dream bike list to own, such a sweet sweet motorcycle.
This bike is in SUCH a beautiful sweet spot. Even i eye the speed triple and the tuono 1100 factory tbh but every time I get on my RS I just can't stop giggling, often thinking "if I was on the tuono, I'd probably be dead haha". And the weight is DEFINITELY amazing. On days when I'm tired and not at 100% it has saved me from making silly mistakes often. Love the RS. I do believe on your bike, the max gearing change you can do without throwing the TC nuts is going up 2 teeth in the rear. I highly recommend it. On my 2019, I went down 1 tooth in the front and the bike is RIOTOUS haha. Ah man. Triumph outdid themselves with this bike.
I only recently bought my Street Triple RS and the only two problems I have with it are the buzzy mirrors (at anything over 80 kmph) and the small steering lock which can cause issues on roads that aren't very wide. I'll probably get the CRG Arrow bar-end mirrors some time soon to replace the stock mirrors as I've heard great things about them. I don't particularly have any issues with the missing Cruise Control and Heated grips. I got the latter fitted through the dealer and the former is a non-issue for me as the roads in my country aren't good enough for Cruise Control on bikes.
cruise control solved. Cramp Buster, $9.99. get the shorter fatter one hits palm right at the bottom. once set correctly, its sublime, an u wont even know its there. Tip: put first two fingers top of brake, this rests palm on Cramp Buster in a natural relaxed state. u can relax that grip. SUBlime. I lov an therefore guarantee it from mine.
PetroHead, I watched many well done and positive reviews of the street triple rs but yours were the ones that convinced me that it is the bike for me - particularly your line " ... it makes me feel like I'm a better rider than I am". I picked up my new 2021 street triple rs today and right off the bat that's how felt - like I was riding better than I ever have. Thank you
@Erik Butler I believe Triumph is like Porsche of the 2 wheel world and Ducati is like Ferrari.. If Porsche comes out with a vehicle, it will be dripping with technology AND if its not standard, it will certainly be an option... If Triumph wants to be a premium manufacturer of bikes and are gonna charge good $$$ then add it as standard OR make CC an option. Its OK if the baby Trident is watered down but not Striple.
well, as i watch the commentary section, i see that you are convincing a lot of people her eto buy a street triple... and you might just had convinced me. I will probably buy one in July, thx for the review of this bike :) From a french canadian
Sorry guys.. It was supposed to be scenic shots of the location I was filming. Somehow, the location of the file got misplaced while the video was rendering.
Bought my first bike only 2 weeks ago, that being a 2018 765 rs and I couldn’t imagine me on any other bike for years to come. Soon as it hits the 8000 range it turns into another bike completely. Anyone who says that this bike isn’t suitable for beginners is talking 💩 I’ve only started riding a motorcycle 2 months ago and not once have I felt out of depth or overconfident on my rs. Without a doubt it’s a bike perfect for people of all riding abilities.
@@Waldo25m RIP Why say that? What I don’t understand about a lot of the motorcycle community is they expect you to get a 300 or something like a ninja 650 with like only 67bhp for a first bike, which let’s be realistic I’ll be bored real soon and a waste of money as I’ll want a bigger, better bike. If you know nothing about my riding ability you’re in no position to comment that. You worry about your own riding and I’ll worry about mine 😊
This is a great review. One point of feedback: Talk about the maintenance and upkeep costs. I almost bought a Triumph Street Triple and then I saw that they need a valve service every 10K miles. And the local Triumph dealer wants nearly $1000 for that. That really turned me off. I'm still tempted as it does look like a really awesome bike. Also, basic services cost $200+? This isn't a cheap motorcycle long term from what I researched. I could be wrong. Happy to be wrong.
I like the sound and also like the bug eyes. Our nearest triumph dealer is about 2 hours away so I woukd like a bike from a dealer closer to me. I got the z900 and like it a lot.
Have the 2018 model with 25tkm on the Odo. She is a good bike. The engine is not that bulett proof. There are issues with the valves. I have my cams replaced on warranty. I like the low weight and the smooth power increase.
I'm curious, have you ridden the 2022 Yamaha MT-09 SP? I haven't ridden either bike yet, but plan on getting one or the other....just watching a lot of videos right now on both. Looking forward to some test rides.
I've ridden a lot of naked bikes and the Striple by far has the best wind protection. People may not like the bug-eye headlamps but they serve a purpose.
i bought a 2020 Z900 after NO bike and dirt only and really dont like wind at 65 plus, never rode dirt that fast long. lol but i got a sport touring,,, Puig, i love it and still looks bad ass and naked. NO REGRETS!!! my best friend almost got this bike but went with BMW 1000R for a few reasons, both awesome!
Great Review! I’m looking for an all around bike, including long 7k/8K miles touring, some adventures. If I have a new 2021 Street triple R low, Do you recommend to trade in for an adventure bike OR upgrade to RS ? Inseam 29 inch. Or do you think 2021 Street Triple R low can do all ? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
KTM 890 R has brembo Stylemas and option for cruise control plus heated grips.......for me it was Aprilia, triumph or KTM.....triumph was 2k over sticker, Aprilia had a deal but was early 21 model and they been known to have issues.....KTM was purchased thru dealer in which i knew owner so deal was good. (not far from where you were riding actually)......triumph is beautiful bike had the bike been a better deal it would have been a toss up.....coming from a MX background i like a torquier motor vs screaming one out......either way cant go wrong its just different styles of riding......i will probably see you on the road at some point seeing how your riding in area i live so as long as you have fun all that matters
Striple and an R6 sounds like a great combo of bikes. I have a 13D675r right now and would probably get a Tuono to compliment it(eventually). Loved the video thanks!
I have a q3, not the sportiest thing but it's reasonable haha. Been thinking of getting a small displacement sport bike to start track riding btw. Do you have a recommendation between an rc390 or a N400 or something else. Would prob buy used.
mt09 sp is a good contender with lots of low end power for hooligan stuff. STrs has its power spread pretty evenly throughout the range. I'm struggling at the moment between the 2.
Striple is designed for a mature person with good taste and sophistication. If you're a young dude in your early 20's, get the MT09 cuz you won't care.
I have a 2014 Street Triple R. I love the color combo and wish the new street triple was offered in white like the one I have. I still love the bike although I was looking at the Ducati Supersport 950 S to try something different. Any thoughts on that bike ?
By all accounts this is a great bike for the money, The KTM is cheap n chintzy!! and ready to explode at top-end with a boomerang exhaust and a Lady-bum head light !!. The Mt-09 is bags of fun but has had early rust issues.!! The Street sound 100x better than the above with a slightly sporting feel. Great tool if you don't mind the pair of Bol*cks for head lights grafted on as an after thought ?? Humm choices choices ? " Test ride guys and follow your heart 💓"
I have the same feeling for my 2018 STRS, but one thing I wanted to ask you is that I find the seat uncomfortable after an hour of riding or so. Do you have the same problem? Did you do anything about it? Finding an after market seat is non existent.
@@PetroHead thank you for answering so quickly and I'm sorry havent red the desc before asking. Hearing the video while working, ended up skipping description. By the way, thank you for such a honest and precise opinion. I'm from Brazil and planing to buy my own on the next few weeks. Keep up the good work!
Probably a personal preference. IMO, cruise control and heated grip are NOT necessary for a sport bike. Not meant for long distance riding like touring or adventure bike.
I'd ask you a question again sir ! Want your opinion: i used to race a 220hp race prepped R1 at the Virginia International Raceway, for 5 years , have sold it off to another racer before coming back to india, spent money in a house, and am now looking for a relaxed street riding, and enthusiastic riding, basically a veteran rider looking for a good street bike that can tour too, which bikes do you recommend for me ? Also I'm looking for a bike below a litre and above 300 ... Racing has caused my wrists to pain after a long time in the saddle, and due to much racing on my race prepped r1 , my back pain is due to that , I'm looking for a ok ergonomics bike (not a gargoyle). Can you suggest???
You have a lot of choices... You already know which one I'd pick but if MV Agusta was reliable, I'd buy a Dragster but too bad they are unreliable which is why I haven't owned one. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with the new MT09... bulletproof Yamaha quality... that's my second pick aside from Striple RS.
how about doing a video on the tft display, I have new 2021 street triple rs (coming from a smooth tft on bmw f900r) and the display confounds me, duh, I can't even find the odometer
watched ur 2020 borrowed white/red RS review, an this one on ur bike now- doesn't the 'Murican version have any flyscreen?. nuthin?. see it on the brit reviews..
For the "Bulletproof" engine. In a german longterm test 50 000km the engine blow 2x around 20 000km thats around 12 430miles. Still a great engine though and I hope Triumph solved the issiues. If they just had a Daytona, (Not the expensiv Limited one). This would be my bike. And maybe a das that's a bit better to read. Especialy the revs.
Its true its from MOTORRAD its the biggest motorcycle magazine in germany , switzerland and austria. But that was nearly the only issue.. the str was one of the best in its class. The 2 broken down motors of the str were the reason why i bought the z900. I am 6.1 and i think the triumph would look a bit little on me .. like the new monster. If the z900 would be a little bit lighter it would be the best in its class
My height is 5’5”. Is seat height comfortable for me or should I avoid this bike because of height issue. I cannot take a test drive because it is not available in my City. I should travel 600 kms for a test drive. Please comment. But I really love this Bike and want to own one of them. Thanks for the Video. Bye ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Hii !! i too have 2020 rs but there is one thing i didn't like and that is gearing, which is way too short and that makes cruising on highways less enjoyable with rpms being high and feels like engine is not relaxed ... did u felt the same ??
@@SandrossAlim I honestly think there isn't really anything as special out there to replace it with... OK.. there is MV Agusta Dragsters.. but by the time I do the same mileage, it would have been in for service at least 3 times and who wants to deal with that shit? lol
Haha... I once raced a P100D from a roll... we sped up the same time... I hung tight with him until he let off the gas... People don't give the striple enough credit... (not enough torque..blah blah)... Do the mods I did and shed some weight... when it weighs 395lbs wet like mine, its noticeable.
@@PetroHead thanks for the reply! Drooling over this bike. Gotta get out and test ride. Might actually rent an '18 (I think it was an '18) I could rent on Rider Share for a few days to get a real feel.
@@mattdrums4you Its a major upgrade to the 19's.. front fascia looks more chiseled as well. New dash, electronics and I'd have to look but I think suspension / brakes, etc.. they've been beefed up. Overall, a better bike.
Sorry but I do not agree with this kind of video... I do not like it definitely. What is it? Is it a test ride? No it s not, because testing this bike just on straightful roads is ridiculous. Is it a walk around a discussion on this model? Maybe, but so you d better to show the model while esplaining your thoughts. To see a pov of this bike just on highways is really boring and make people think you have not understood at all the aim and the meaning of such a beatifull sportbike.
I have 1000 miles on my street triple rs, it needs a wind screen not anything over 70 mph, I'm looking for one now. 4 hours band you're ass is sore even wii padded riding shorts. To me seems like a around the town bike I am currently on a ride weekend and it's brutal. This is not a kind distance bike. Better than a crotch rocket for sure for comfort but it's not far behind
Off the line it’s ballistic.. I’ve taken super cars and even Tesla’s.. I don’t like posting that kind of content all the time (this channel is kind of for grown up people) but I’ve done it.
Hello, I agree with you, if you add the KTM Duke 790/890 r . Have you test-it ? Otherwise you will tell the same. (Not the SUPERDUKE, it's another level, no need to compare. We are talking aboud mid-Size. There are some comparative , on the road, and on the track. part 1 th-cam.com/video/r_aGn7tL9SM/w-d-xo.html part 2 th-cam.com/video/XR343CbxghQ/w-d-xo.html
I think if you only ride in the dry .. you don’t really “ need” .. an IMU .. but in the wet it’s absolutely necessary!! I wouldn’t have a bike without it ..!!! .. it’s potentially a lifesaver in the wet !! And a lot of riding in the UK through the winter is in the wet .. especially if you commute daily ..as I do 😁😁😁
Ciao ti seguo e fai dei bellissimi video soprattutto perché sto per prendere la mia 3 street triple e adesso il modello rs volevo sapere perché ti sei trovato bene con leo vince anche perché lo sto comprando anche io grazie e buon lavoro e gassssssssssss
@@PetroHead You said the 765RS has plenty of power. I guess it's a matter of taste in how power is developed. Some folks only pay attention to the peak HP curve, and ignore everything else.
You think its fun on the street... get it out on track! th-cam.com/video/ysZEC8L0OT0/w-d-xo.html It's a brilliant bike. Dash kinda sucks, and it's a bit of a pain to tune the EURO5 crap out properly, but man is it a fun bike and incredible value for the money...
Yea, I know a dealer who has demos. I've just been really lazy and I heard from a good source that Triumph will be releasing new bikes in the next 6 months so fingers crossed for an updated Striple.
@@PetroHead yea actually as your friendly neighborhood tech nerd and IT expert extraordinaire I should warn you that there’s a new SD card standard looking called SD Express and I would invest a single penny into a new SD car that you don’t have to until SD express comes out because the old Sd Cardd will fall by 20x and be about 100x slower in many cases, more in some random write cases.
Triumph needs to update the Street Triple, hopefully losing the throne to the 890R will be what it takes. For the road, the KTM blows it out of the water, better torque delivery, the best brakes on any middleweight make. The only thing the Triumph has is more top end, a outdated Techpack and dated design. Triumph will do something different soon.
Losing the throne in what way? The 890R is a great bike, but I almost never see one on the street. I see Street Triple 765's all over the place. More peak power, amazing handling, good sound...
@@SquireSCA Just every major review. Can you give one comparison where the Street Triple has been chosen over the 890R? I can give you several where the KTM is overwhelming picked. These reviews come from professionals that do not own a Street Triple and compare the two, they don’t have a dog in the fight.
@@SquireSCA And when you ride both, you’ll understand why. I enjoyed my Triumph, love this KTM. The fit and finish on the Triumph was more premium, it’s at a loss when you get on them and have that experience. The torque is on another level. That peak power, that can only be reached after it’s being gapped by the KTM, needs you to reach go to jail speeds before being relative. Neither are a wrong choice, but you should really ride both before having an opinion.
@@freebehindbars8654 triumph has way better build quality , and the tech is pretty similar on the same, the triple has torque everywhere *and* the most awesome top end of the few, the duke has *numbing torque* but not a good top end , and the 890 is a awesome choice too, and handling wise, the super scalpel flicks really well, but the street triple holds the line, and is more frugal and usable everywhere, racetrack, traffic, everywhere, and the str has better quality suspension, better brakes, better quickshifter too , as far as what i rode.. Ngl, tech wise, duke is slightly better, and duke is more lighter too.
@@freebehindbars8654 at this point I kind of consider myself a naked bike aficionado... If I just count my bikes and not my wife's... Monster s2r1000, Monster S4RS, Monster 1200S, Street fighter 1098, super duke 990R, Tuono 1000R Factory, Tuono V4 1100rr, two speed triples, street triple RS, Z900 RS, FZ1 and some others I am likely forgetting... Plus my wife's monsters, Street fighter 848, street triple r 675, street triple RS 765, Diavel, etc... Of all of those, and they were all brilliant... Of the middleweights, the 2020 Street RS is the most capable on street and track. The agility and power is pretty much perfect. It's a scalpel on track. It also makes a lot more power than triumph claims. They say 123hp at the crank and that's bs. Most dyno 117-119hp at the wheel, stock. That puts the crank hp up in the 130's. Mine with a decat, slipon and tune makes 125hp at the wheel, and I have friends with full exhausts and tunes and they are hitting 130hp at the wheel. That's a significant step up from the Duke. The Duke of course has way more low down grunt, being a twin... And in some ways that will feel faster. But give them room to stretch their legs and the Street pulls ahead. . The brakes, are the difference in pads they ship with. The triumph has brembo M50 and the master is the same one that comes on the Ducati panigale R. It's a great setup... Not knocking the Duke, but crowning it king, might be a bit of a stretch...
Super Duke would murder the triple. I think it’s more “sporty” too. That said the triple is literally a naked super sport, so it’s more supersporty/racy
@@paulbarnes6124 the triple has some hideous bits but the whole Duke is hideous. I get triumph wanted to save money by using the same lights from the Daytona but they could have used a facade or something to make it look more integrated

I have this and its a beast. What an amazing everyday ride. Those suction sounds when you open up...gives me chills every single time.
I call them "spits" but yes, I know what you mean... an exhaust will allow them when you really lay the hammer on her. 👍👍
I just got one of these. a 2018 RS and it is awesome. Sportbike quick and comfortable for hours on end. I love it.

Awesome! I am planning on riding up to Big Sur and SF later this month.. keep putting it off.
do you have a windscreen to help with the highway winds?
It's definitely one of the best of the best for middleweight nakeds, that's for sure. It's on my dream bike list to own, such a sweet sweet motorcycle.
I love my street triple rs. It is amazing. I don't miss cruise control at all. I never use it even in my car. The best all rounder bike you can buy.
I use CC in my car all the time.. great gas saver.
It’s a great bike, highly refined & the engine note is uniquely satisfying. The new Tigers are pretty great too.

Didn't I say in my video I don't want to spend money? lol (I'm frugal and expect it to come as standard on a bike of this caliber)

The idle stop comes from the rectifier. Triumph can change it.
It only happened once so I'm OK fo know.. good to now for later.
I have a 2020 765 RS. My 1st bike. Was super easier to learn in Rain Mode for a month. Bike is predictable and it's been very reliable for me.

Just to add, I wish it had cornering abs, lean angle sensor, launch control & wheelie control that would have changed the game completely

I’ve ridden a previous gen but not current. Do a search on the channel. I also compared it to my Striple.
Have you tried an mt07 and if so, what did you think? Rick
Did you had to tune it when you installed the exhaust, I just ordered a Leo Vince and i was wandering if i have to
Does wind blast not bother you after a while at high speed?Cheers.

I have a 2014 STR and still get a thrill riding with that triple noise! I thought upgrading would be easy !
The sound does it for me.. I’ll quit the riding hobby when we’re all forced to buy electric lol
Thank u for the quick review and I am absolutely getting a Street Triple RS as my secondary bike from my T100.
Great Review! I’m looking for an all around bike, including long 7k/8K miles touring, some adventures. If I have a new 2021 Street triple R low, Do you recommend to trade in for an adventure bike OR upgrade to RS ? Inseam 29 inch. Or do you think 2021 Street Triple R low can do all ? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Yea, just get some saddle bags and get out there. I’m doing a 1-2K mile trip end of the month.
I will buy this next year and strip it down and build a big supersport bike for the track .
KTM 890 R has brembo Stylemas and option for cruise control plus heated grips.......for me it was Aprilia, triumph or KTM.....triumph was 2k over sticker, Aprilia had a deal but was early 21 model and they been known to have issues.....KTM was purchased thru dealer in which i knew owner so deal was good. (not far from where you were riding actually)......triumph is beautiful bike had the bike been a better deal it would have been a toss up.....coming from a MX background i like a torquier motor vs screaming one out......either way cant go wrong its just different styles of riding......i will probably see you on the road at some point seeing how your riding in area i live so as long as you have fun all that matters
I’m in SD now.
Striple and an R6 sounds like a great combo of bikes. I have a 13D675r right now and would probably get a Tuono to compliment it(eventually). Loved the video thanks!
For sound.. Striple + R6 + Porsche 911 = 🤙
I have a q3, not the sportiest thing but it's reasonable haha. Been thinking of getting a small displacement sport bike to start track riding btw. Do you have a recommendation between an rc390 or a N400 or something else. Would prob buy used.
For track.. RC390.. do a search on the channel.. I had that and the RC CUP race bike.. plenty of track time with both.
How about a little bit throttle response lag especially when low rpm?
I don't understand your question.
mt09 sp is a good contender with lots of low end power for hooligan stuff. STrs has its power spread pretty evenly throughout the range. I'm struggling at the moment between the 2.
Striple is designed for a mature person with good taste and sophistication. If you're a young dude in your early 20's, get the MT09 cuz you won't care.
Do you really need a cruise control on a naked bike or even sportbike, i dont think so
Nice vid!! Do you chose your name in reference of the nick name of Steve Mc Queen?
looks like huntington beach by bolsa chica in beginning of video
I have a 2014 Street Triple R. I love the color combo and wish the new street triple was offered in white like the one I have. I still love the bike although I was looking at the Ducati Supersport 950 S to try something different. Any thoughts on that bike ?
The Striple is a better bike IMO but they are very different bikes.
do you have a rear mudguard like the Trident? I swear I saw a video that you did?
By all accounts this is a great bike for the money, The KTM is cheap n chintzy!! and ready to explode at top-end with a boomerang exhaust and a Lady-bum head light !!.
The Mt-09 is bags of fun but has had early rust issues.!!
The Street sound 100x better than the above with a slightly sporting feel. Great tool if you don't mind the pair of Bol*cks for head lights grafted on as an after thought ??
Humm choices choices ? " Test ride guys and follow your heart 💓"
Not quite a moto 2 engine 😱, good review though. My 2 month old RS now has 1600 miles on it, loving every moment 👍👍
Its very much a Moto2 engine.. Triumph says so. They are regulated by software and a few hardware differences like in the Daytona Moto2 edition.
9:48 definitely agree
Have a 2020 RS, yoshimura exhaust, and a couple other mods on it. So fun to ride, it sounds like you are riding a chainsaw around.
Awesome review btw, really engaging!
Thank you 👍
Is this fully stock in terms of tune and exhaust it sounds great if it is
No it has a pipe link in description. Welcome to the Channel.. you got a lot of catching up to do lol
I have the same feeling for my 2018 STRS, but one thing I wanted to ask you is that I find the seat uncomfortable after an hour of riding or so. Do you have the same problem? Did you do anything about it? Finding an after market seat is non existent.
I have no issues with the seat. IMOH its one of the best out there but maybe you have a boney butt? haha...
@@PetroHead Oddly with my R3 I've road over 4 hours and no issues. Maybe its also the angle of my back and butt..
But(t) yes, my behind is flat..
There is your answer. 👍
Did you have aftermarket exhaust system instaled when recording this video?
yes link in description
@@PetroHead thank you for answering so quickly and I'm sorry havent red the desc before asking. Hearing the video while working, ended up skipping description.
By the way, thank you for such a honest and precise opinion. I'm from Brazil and planing to buy my own on the next few weeks. Keep up the good work!
@@PetroHead One other thing, if you may: is the exhaust with or without dbkiller? By the way, the sound of the bike with that muffler is just amazing.
@@rodolfoperalto I have a whole playlist for exhaust videos, I suggest you check them out to learn more. th-cam.com/video/BRLgHp9iA28/w-d-xo.html
Probably a personal preference. IMO, cruise control and heated grip are NOT necessary for a sport bike. Not meant for long distance riding like touring or adventure bike.
The Striple is a touring bike. It’s absolutely necessary.
I'd ask you a question again sir !
Want your opinion:
i used to race a 220hp race prepped R1 at the Virginia International Raceway, for 5 years , have sold it off to another racer before coming back to india, spent money in a house, and am now looking for a relaxed street riding, and enthusiastic riding, basically a veteran rider looking for a good street bike that can tour too, which bikes do you recommend for me ?
Also I'm looking for a bike below a litre and above 300 ...
Racing has caused my wrists to pain after a long time in the saddle, and due to much racing on my race prepped r1 , my back pain is due to that , I'm looking for a ok ergonomics bike (not a gargoyle).
Can you suggest???
I drive a blade, and i bought the Street for my wife.
I love to ride long trips on the Street.
No problems while i am +-6 foot (1.93)
You have a lot of choices... You already know which one I'd pick but if MV Agusta was reliable, I'd buy a Dragster but too bad they are unreliable which is why I haven't owned one. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with the new MT09... bulletproof Yamaha quality... that's my second pick aside from Striple RS.
Perhaps the Honda VFR 800?
get a Indian Ftr
@@PetroHead hmmm noice suggestions, considering str 765, will wait till they update em.
how about doing a video on the tft display, I have new 2021 street triple rs (coming from a smooth tft on bmw f900r) and the display confounds me, duh, I can't even find the odometer
Lol yes it’s made by designers who don’t ride bikes.
8:01 that golf gti (maybe) tried to show off but got beaten by a fast motorcycle the triumph street triple rs
watched ur 2020 borrowed white/red RS review, an this one on ur bike now- doesn't the 'Murican version have any flyscreen?. nuthin?. see it on the brit reviews..
You mean borrowed ‘R’ version? This RS is mine and no fly screen on either.
@@PetroHead hmmm, look at some brit reviews. they all have one. sometimes smoked sometimes clear. available option?.
Available option yes but not standard.
What is the top speed of this motorcycle?
Around 145
For the "Bulletproof" engine. In a german longterm test 50 000km the engine blow 2x around 20 000km thats around 12 430miles. Still a great engine though and I hope Triumph solved the issiues. If they just had a Daytona, (Not the expensiv Limited one). This would be my bike. And maybe a das that's a bit better to read. Especialy the revs.
Can you share this test?
Its true its from MOTORRAD its the biggest motorcycle magazine in germany , switzerland and austria. But that was nearly the only issue.. the str was one of the best in its class.
The 2 broken down motors of the str were the reason why i bought the z900. I am 6.1 and i think the triumph would look a bit little on me .. like the new monster. If the z900 would be a little bit lighter it would be the best in its class
Send me the link on IG please or email.
What are your thoughts on this vs a Duke 890R?
There is a review / videos of it on the channel.
@@PetroHead derp! Watching now!
My height is 5’5”. Is seat height comfortable for me or should I avoid this bike because of height issue. I cannot take a test drive because it is not available in my City. I should travel 600 kms for a test drive. Please comment. But I really love this Bike and want to own one of them. Thanks for the Video. Bye ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
It’s fine for me and I am similar height.
@@PetroHead Thank you💓💓💓
Only fault I can find with mine is the euro 5 emissions and we can’t really blame that on the bike
Is this better than the 2021 MT09?
Yes, it's much more refined (and better looking). But ofcourse it's a opinion.
Have you ever test ride the mt09?
Yes do a search on the channel.
How daft and distracted do you have to be to stop and park right next to a sign that says no stopping any time?
I park whenever and wherever I like. Rules are for people who follow them.
Hii !!
i too have 2020 rs but there is one thing i didn't like and that is gearing, which is way too short and that makes cruising on highways less enjoyable with rpms being high and feels like engine is not relaxed ...
did u felt the same ??
I'm getting its sibling delivered this month end, Trident 660
Ride in good health! 👍
Agree, best middle weight motorcycle around! I like the Duke 890R as well, but ended up with ST 765RS. It’s more refined.
How many miles do you have on the bike now?
Roughly 4500+
@@PetroHead nice man! That's awesome, we always get caught up to get the newest and greatest thing. I'm glad you're keeping the bike!
@@SandrossAlim I honestly think there isn't really anything as special out there to replace it with... OK.. there is MV Agusta Dragsters.. but by the time I do the same mileage, it would have been in for service at least 3 times and who wants to deal with that shit? lol
@@PetroHead hahaha very true!
8:12 man the rush !!! The VW racing a STR ? Damn that's a no no.
Haha... I once raced a P100D from a roll... we sped up the same time... I hung tight with him until he let off the gas... People don't give the striple enough credit... (not enough torque..blah blah)... Do the mods I did and shed some weight... when it weighs 395lbs wet like mine, its noticeable.
How's lane splitting w/those bar ends?
No issues.
@@PetroHead thanks for the reply! Drooling over this bike. Gotta get out and test ride. Might actually rent an '18 (I think it was an '18) I could rent on Rider Share for a few days to get a real feel.
Rent an 18 but buy a 20+ you won’t regret it.
@@PetroHead heard that. I've been looking at all the variations year to year. What makes the '20 your weapon of choice?
@@mattdrums4you Its a major upgrade to the 19's.. front fascia looks more chiseled as well. New dash, electronics and I'd have to look but I think suspension / brakes, etc.. they've been beefed up. Overall, a better bike.
A really good choice ! Not because i have the same one 😂
I just want the Daytona back : (
I miss mine. I had a 2014
The 765 is used in Moto2 series, not MotoGP - which is a different race series. You mix that a little in your video
Yes.. I know that and that’s what I meant.. most people don’t watch it so I spoke in more general terms.
Sorry but I do not agree with this kind of video... I do not like it definitely. What is it? Is it a test ride? No it s not, because testing this bike just on straightful roads is ridiculous. Is it a walk around a discussion on this model? Maybe, but so you d better to show the model while esplaining your thoughts. To see a pov of this bike just on highways is really boring and make people think you have not understood at all the aim and the meaning of such a beatifull sportbike.
I really hate the front headlights, it looks like a bug.
The sound ! 😩
I have 1000 miles on my street triple rs, it needs a wind screen not anything over 70 mph, I'm looking for one now. 4 hours band you're ass is sore even wii padded riding shorts. To me seems like a around the town bike I am currently on a ride weekend and it's brutal. This is not a kind distance bike. Better than a crotch rocket for sure for comfort but it's not far behind
I actually don’t mind the seat.. sitting more than an hour on any motorcycle will give you a soar bum.. frequent stops is the answer.
You know you live in a fancy area when you lane-split a Tesla and an E-Type at the same time.
Lol 😂
At 8:00 Street is weak off the line, this is why I have a Speed 1200 now
Lol.. ok
@@PetroHead I heard 2020+ is better off the line, different cam + ecu update
Off the line it’s ballistic.. I’ve taken super cars and even Tesla’s.. I don’t like posting that kind of content all the time (this channel is kind of for grown up people) but I’ve done it.
Disagree the IMu makes a more natural traction control possible and it feels like it has less nannies
Probably... but I like pure feel.
Go get the 1200rs and let us know how it compares
Thats the plan.
Hello, I agree with you, if you add the KTM Duke 790/890 r . Have you test-it ? Otherwise you will tell the same. (Not the SUPERDUKE, it's another level, no need to compare. We are talking aboud mid-Size. There are some comparative , on the road, and on the track. part 1 th-cam.com/video/r_aGn7tL9SM/w-d-xo.html part 2 th-cam.com/video/XR343CbxghQ/w-d-xo.html
I’ve also compared them.
That bike needs a 6-axis IMU for sure. Even Yamaha MT9 is equipped with one.
Why do you think it ‘needs’ one?
I think if you only ride in the dry .. you don’t really “ need” .. an IMU .. but in the wet it’s absolutely necessary!! I wouldn’t have a bike without it ..!!! .. it’s potentially a lifesaver in the wet !! And a lot of riding in the UK through the winter is in the wet .. especially if you commute daily ..as I do 😁😁😁
I won’t ride even if there is a sprinkle of water in the air.. SoCal weather spoils you.. I guess I won’t need an IMU lol
@@PetroHead yes you won’t !!! And I’m very jealous of where you live !😠😠😠😠😠🤣🤣🤣👏👏
Ciao ti seguo e fai dei bellissimi video soprattutto perché sto per prendere la mia 3 street triple e adesso il modello rs volevo sapere perché ti sei trovato bene con leo vince anche perché lo sto comprando anche io grazie e buon lavoro e gassssssssssss
I wouldn't get one because it's not got enough power. Hahaha
Been on a Kawasaki Z900 yet? I highly recommend trying one.
???
@@PetroHead You said the 765RS has plenty of power. I guess it's a matter of taste in how power is developed. Some folks only pay attention to the peak HP curve, and ignore everything else.
Yea it’s subjective.
It's very nice bike but it hasn't a lot o power and you not feel the gas on this bike it's very to smooth
You think its fun on the street... get it out on track!
th-cam.com/video/ysZEC8L0OT0/w-d-xo.html
It's a brilliant bike. Dash kinda sucks, and it's a bit of a pain to tune the EURO5 crap out properly, but man is it a fun bike and incredible value for the money...
Buy a $10 rubber throttle cruise addon
Keep it and buy the bmw nine t next to it!!
8:40 pls do get the speed triple 1200 !! Just ride it once , i need a first impression !!! You'll get addicted to it !
Yea, I know a dealer who has demos. I've just been really lazy and I heard from a good source that Triumph will be releasing new bikes in the next 6 months so fingers crossed for an updated Striple.
@@PetroHead 2022 street triple is already out. Only color updates.
Colors are the same as 2020. No changes.
"The Moto2 engines are currently being used for MotoGP" That in itself makes no sense at all.
Moto2.. is that better, sport?
Just spend $20 on a Go Cruise throttle stop. Problem solved!
@ 9:30 orrr just save the money and invest in a new SD card 😝
Thats a lot of SD cars lol
@@PetroHead yea actually as your friendly neighborhood tech nerd and IT expert extraordinaire I should warn you that there’s a new SD card standard looking called SD Express and I would invest a single penny into a new SD car that you don’t have to until SD express comes out because the old Sd Cardd will fall by 20x and be about 100x slower in many cases, more in some random write cases.
Nice! SD cards are super cheap but I assume prices will increase a lot with new tech.
An mv agusta triple bro I’m telling you just test drive one it’s like a street triple on cocaine
Do a search on the channel.
Yes, you are right 😁😁
lol: r u missing heated grips and cruise control on fun race street bike ? :D cmon...
Triumph needs to update the Street Triple, hopefully losing the throne to the 890R will be what it takes. For the road, the KTM blows it out of the water, better torque delivery, the best brakes on any middleweight make. The only thing the Triumph has is more top end, a outdated Techpack and dated design. Triumph will do something different soon.
Losing the throne in what way? The 890R is a great bike, but I almost never see one on the street. I see Street Triple 765's all over the place. More peak power, amazing handling, good sound...
@@SquireSCA Just every major review. Can you give one comparison where the Street Triple has been chosen over the 890R? I can give you several where the KTM is overwhelming picked. These reviews come from professionals that do not own a Street Triple and compare the two, they don’t have a dog in the fight.
@@SquireSCA And when you ride both, you’ll understand why. I enjoyed my Triumph, love this KTM. The fit and finish on the Triumph was more premium, it’s at a loss when you get on them and have that experience. The torque is on another level. That peak power, that can only be reached after it’s being gapped by the KTM, needs you to reach go to jail speeds before being relative. Neither are a wrong choice, but you should really ride both before having an opinion.
@@freebehindbars8654 triumph has way better build quality , and the tech is pretty similar on the same, the triple has torque everywhere *and* the most awesome top end of the few, the duke has *numbing torque* but not a good top end , and the 890 is a awesome choice too, and handling wise, the super scalpel flicks really well, but the street triple holds the line, and is more frugal and usable everywhere, racetrack, traffic, everywhere, and the str has better quality suspension, better brakes, better quickshifter too , as far as what i rode..
Ngl, tech wise, duke is slightly better, and duke is more lighter too.
@@freebehindbars8654 at this point I kind of consider myself a naked bike aficionado... If I just count my bikes and not my wife's...
Monster s2r1000, Monster S4RS, Monster 1200S, Street fighter 1098, super duke 990R, Tuono 1000R Factory, Tuono V4 1100rr, two speed triples, street triple RS, Z900 RS, FZ1 and some others I am likely forgetting... Plus my wife's monsters, Street fighter 848, street triple r 675, street triple RS 765, Diavel, etc...
Of all of those, and they were all brilliant... Of the middleweights, the 2020 Street RS is the most capable on street and track. The agility and power is pretty much perfect. It's a scalpel on track.
It also makes a lot more power than triumph claims. They say 123hp at the crank and that's bs. Most dyno 117-119hp at the wheel, stock.
That puts the crank hp up in the 130's. Mine with a decat, slipon and tune makes 125hp at the wheel, and I have friends with full exhausts and tunes and they are hitting 130hp at the wheel.
That's a significant step up from the Duke. The Duke of course has way more low down grunt, being a twin... And in some ways that will feel faster. But give them room to stretch their legs and the Street pulls ahead. .
The brakes, are the difference in pads they ship with. The triumph has brembo M50 and the master is the same one that comes on the Ducati panigale R. It's a great setup...
Not knocking the Duke, but crowning it king, might be a bit of a stretch...
Can I come live with you?
just buy an 848 man
As in Ducati 848? Why?
dude? seriously? Cruise control and heated grips on a sport bike? Get an SUV!
It’s big brother has it and so do other manufactures in same class. I don’t see the big deal.
Devi imparare ad andare in moto ..
Super Duke would murder the triple. I think it’s more “sporty” too. That said the triple is literally a naked super sport, so it’s more supersporty/racy
Correct.
Duke looks like a pile of plastic
@@paulbarnes6124 agree it’s a hideous bike, that said I stand by my assessment
@@paulbarnes6124 the triple has some hideous bits but the whole Duke is hideous. I get triumph wanted to save money by using the same lights from the Daytona but they could have used a facade or something to make it look more integrated
