Went out for a demo - loved it - I'm 71 years old - hope to pick up my new street triple later this week. Your never too old for something good!
never too old to ride
My father is 76 this year and he's riding my old street triple r 2010. Never too old to ride bikes.
My hero
+Afif Rifaie (Fritzelstix) yes he does ride it in the summer. No big rides btw, but he does. My ex 2010 is still reliable, 32k kms now. You can still find every part online on worldoftriumph. Imho it's still a really nice bike and with a very personal look, much more than the newer models.
Worked for Hugh Hefner!
This review and a few others finally got my to make the decision and get my own Triumph Street Triple R. Just wanted to thank you for your help. I agree with so many of your points about how this bike is so easy to ride, so comfortable and how the engine delivers the power in such an great way with such a great growl. The visceral feel since there is no electronics between you at what is bike is doing is amazing. I just got back from the break-in service and I allowed myself to push a harder off the line than I ever have before and I couldn't stop laughing in joy at the experience. That final thought, I can imagine the dread.
I've got the Triumph frame sliders and there is no such problem with those.
Really like the way you blended the music and the information in this video. Great editing and great footage. I really need to elevate my game in that regard.
Love the channel. Keep riding!
I tried the street triple myself (amongst maybe 80 motorcycles last 15 years), and must say that it is - in my personal opinion - one of te best bikes I ever rode.
Everyone has his opinion, but comparing it to a CBR500R, is like comparing a go-cart with a VW Golf TDI :-).
The cbr500r is perfect for beginners, it is no way a sportsbike, and I wouldn't recommand the Triumph to a beginner. A lot of my supersport-friends (zx6r, 600rr, gsxr and 1 fireblade) really love the street triple!
Holy sh*t Smo this video is epic, the editing quality is amazing. I'm so happy I went back and found some of your older videos!
I was surprised to learn that you and I have been riding for a similar amount of time.
Ride safe buddy!
+MotorcycleJosh1 Thanks dude, really appreciate it!
+Smo you are the best hidden gem motovlogger.
Well said mate! I am ridiculously in love with my Triple!! The momentous task of finding a bike that truly "fits like a glove" was made possible with this glorious machine! When my search began I rode every bike i could get my hands on, which was in total 16 different motorcycles.. I didn't take a second look at the Triple (ashamedly to say now..) as the looks just instantly drove me away.. Thank the GODS I told myself just to ride it,to be sure it rode as bad as it looked.. well, was I put right in my place!! 4 years on and I couldn't be HAPPIER!! Great video brother, nice editing, good sound, well done!
This is one of the best structured reviews I've ever watched, great job! I did a test ride on the Speed Triple yesterday, when I got back I was asked if I'd just come back from Alton Towers... These are fantastic bikes and can't wait to pick mine up in 2 weeks :)
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
I currently own a 2006 triumph sprint ST and was looking for either getting a Street Triple R or speed triple R. I have to say this video has helped me out a lot as far as making the decision the only problem I have is that I'm only 5 foot 5 inches tall and I could not even touch my feet on the ground when I sat the the speed triple R but was able to put my feet on the ground on the street triple R. Because with my current bike I'm on my tippy toes when I put my feet down. And when I put my feet down on a slick Road it can be bad. I have to say I was drawing to Triumph because it was such a rare bike in America every body owns a CBR or GSXr here so it nice to stand out. I love your vids and will keep watch thanks for this one it has helped me out!
Well done on the review, great camera work. I share all your points on this bike. I have an 07 R6 and I rather ride this bike any day of the week, always puts a smile on my face.
Keep up the good work dude!!
Great review mate, I uploaded a simple reply to Skeggy Cruiser's last vid asking why we ride what we ride. One of the points I raised and have always thought this, was how you don't have to go as fast as a sports bike to get the same thrill, and how you get more of a sensation of speed on a naked bike. I have a Speedtriple which looks and sounds amazing, but I always recommend to anyone that they try the striple because they can easily keep up with the Speedtriple, just depends whether you want cornering speed or grunt out of tye bends. Anyway I've babbled on long enough, great production with the vid mate, take it easy!
Gazzatron Yeah dude I totally agree - it's a shame I think that some people may overlook bikes like this purely because they're not faired. For where I live at least having the low-down grunt to pull you out of slow corners transformed the fun I was able to have on two wheels. I don't look back at all.
brilliant review just sold my yamaha mt09 to get a street triple r
Cheers dude, hope you enjoy it!
Your reviews of this bike made me really think hard about my first bike as I'm doing my DAS at the age of 48.. I know have a 2014 crystal White STR. Which now has these bits fitted. A set of bar end mirrors a scorpion red, triumph quickshifter and a seat cowl. It came with the fly screen and belly pan when I bought it.Few more mods to be added ASAP are full engine protection and some shorty levers. My wife keeps asking what all these parcels are and why I'm in the garage tinkering a lot. Top man SMO
To be honest, this review has just won my subscription. Probably the best review that I have watched hands down. I never thought of owning a naked bike before let alone test riding one, but right now I'm set on giving them a try. Thank you for the eye opening, honest owners review.
By the way, has the wind blast caused any major fatigue when on a long ride or is it bearable? I ask this because I travel 342+ miles a week just to work and home (monday - friday, and excluding weekend gallivanting should I decide to gallivant) and majority (if not all) of it is highway/motorway riding and that is where my wind blast question comes into play. Keep up the great work.
Regards coming all the way from South Africa. Remember to keep it rubber side down :)
Just came across your channel for the 1st time and watched this video - I have a 2016 Street Triple R and agree with practically everything you said (I even used to have a CBR600 RR). I’m the same re the looks - I really don’t like the front end but from other angles it’s stunning. I had a VRF400 followed by two CBRR600s and three R6s, then the STR and the STR is the most fun and best all round bike for the road I’ve owned. I was getting to the point where it was way too easy to go way too fast on the road, the R6 was so comfortable at 100+ that it just wasn’t fun unless I was doing stupid speeds, but the STR is just fun at any speed. I have a carbon Scorpion Serket exhaust on mine (gets rid of the cat 👍🏻) and it sounds epic - raw on the throttle and pops and bangs on the over run.
Anyway, decent video buddy.
I love the fact you can see the red R fairings even when you're riding the bike. Together with the Matt Graphite it looks bloody gorgeous. Top notch review!
An absolutely outstanding review mate. Very well put together. Can't wait to ride one of these. I've always rated them.
Great video!
Camera work was gorgeous.
I am making room in my garage for a 2014 str.
I throughly enjoyed your overview.
I recently purchased a Bobber. Which I absolutely love. I'm looking for a bit of a different ride and think this may do the job nicely.
Thanks again.....I'm keeping the Bobber of course!
Awesome bike awesome review . Just seals it for me to save and go buy one.
Hopefully next year I will own one.
Thanks for you updated review. Been waiting for you to make this video.
Well done.!
Brad Harrison Cheers fella - glad you enjoyed it!
It's 2022 and I just bought the same exact bike . I have always had R1 ,lets see I loved the triumph on the test ride.
I am now in the triumph club ;) my Z is gone!! I hope this brings me more Joy..My channel was on the Z had bad luck!! time to move on!!you done one of the best reviews that I keep coming back to watch !! love it well done
Nice one! I've been subscribed to you for a while now and have always wanted a Triple... With your videos and my own eagerness I am on my way now to pick up my very own 2014 Triple R. Can't bloody wait.
That's awesome news buddy! Enjoy it!
Best review of the Triumph Striple on youtube. Well done mate!
"...the relationship that I've built with it." NICE!
Mate you have nailed a few points. Did you do some PCV tuning after installing the exhaust?
Cheers for the vid mate. Bought my STR today, in black with Arrow exhaust. Was wondering about your mirror, though. Mine still has the normal ones. Would you recommend replacing them with the steer ones?
By far the best review ive seen regarding this bike, im completely torn between the speed and the street, just dont know which to go for but after watching that video i think youve just made up my mind :), thanks alot mate!
You don't find another one to replace it. You buy 2nd one instead ;)
Sir! That was fantastic!! Your production is so polished - I'm set back... Bought my '14 Street Triple R four months ago, coming from some 60s Twins and a '98 955cc Daytona (which I thought could never be surpassed) and I love it more and more every day. Everything you've said about the bike is exactly what I would say. It is a tall bike - but I'm only 5-4 and needed it lower. I've modded my bike to allow me to be flat footed, added a different exhaust and knew before I took delivery the headlights weren't for my liking and have replaced them with a single unit from a MT-03 - However, all the astonishing character of the bike remains... I want to make a video showcasing the changes I've made, but it can no way be as good as yours. Hat's off to you! Oh. Two things... The sound of the exhaust you captured at 10:22 is the only example of what these bikes actually sound like with an aftermarket (I've got a SC Project GPM2) I've ever heard on youtube and to your last comment about what could we possibly ever trade up to? Sounds like there's going to be an 800cc Street Triple soon - could it be better than what's already perfect?
+looseparts Thanks dude, I really appreciate the comment - I'd love to see what yours looks like though fella. I've considered the headlight swap myself but I'm massively on the fence about it.
Really looking forward to the 800cc Triple, but if I was going to upgrade, I'd most likely move to the Speed R.
+Smo I think if you've made it this far with the dual headlights, you should just hang there. I was very careful to keep all the OE bits for when I trade or sell - you can see the bike via my clumsy vid - youtube f4ac59RV0UY - laryngitis voice, crap gear, MS MovieMaker and MS Paint ; -) For me though, I knew when I was deciding between the FZ-09 and the ST3, them headlights had to go. But I totally get it - it's a Triumph 'thing' and while I feel a little blasphemous in my changes (tidy, pipe, cowl, mirrors and headlight, etc.), I really, really like what I've done w/ my bike. If you do change your bike, keep us informed - Thanks a lot.
I rented one in Cali. It was the most fun I've ever had. This is possibly one of the best motorcycles ever built.
Awesome review!! Was great to meet you at bahnstormer last Saturday, would be great to meet up again and go for a ride, if your interested, I live in Portsmouth.
great video, very interesting in getting my full licence soon! Look forward to seeing you on the road!
Nice review +OfficialSmo! How did you fasten the camera to the bike at 5:00 in? I like the look of the shot there.
Excellent video. Really well done. You didn't overdo any shots or waffle on. You weren't narcissistic or gushing about your riding, just perfect. I don't need a STR but I've wanted one for forever, and I'm getting closer to pulling the trigger. Make more videos :) SUBd
Good review buddy! I bought an STR couple of weeks ago, purposely choosing the older version 2010, even though for the same price I could have had a 2012 model. The round lights and dual exhausts at the back did it for me :D Fantastic bikes, just as you said.
Top review. I had a CBR600RR a few years back, and likewise took out the Street Triple when my Honda was in for a service, and fell in love. Unfortunately I was getting ready to move away from the south coast, up to Scotland at the time, and was selling my bike anyway, but if I was looking at a new bike now, the Triumph would be high on my list.
This video really wound back the years, blasting through the New Forest on a hot summers day and such.
I test rode a speed triple and a street triple just last week, there was very little contest, I bought the street! I pick up my white 2012 street triple in 2 weeks and I cant wait !
Such an amazing bike, I had the joy of having one for a few days recently. The one word that describes this bike is FUN! Utter wheelie machine! Nice vid dude
One of the best reviews on any bike Ive seen so far and Ive seen a lot, great work. I want one.
This guy should be a salesperson for triumph, "you don't need to ring the living shite out of it to feel like you're making progress." I think you've sold me with the low end torque...and the major pitfall, you'll have to find something good enough to replace it. Great video!
Dude, I was literally about to buy a Honda CBR 600rr. Granted it still has its merits, but for you to say that value the triumph over the Honda has pushed me to getting my own. I was worried I would make a bad decision buying the 600, so thank you for relieving my anxiety and pointing me in the right direction. It’s 2019 so I’m gonna try to get a more recent model. Thank you for the extensive vid dude.
Hi Puppy, its not so fun on a 600cc inline 4 due to its displacement. But triple manage to balanced out all the negatives and created something easy & fun to ride. You can ride this bike anyday & anytime and still puts a grin on your face but not wet road cause the rear spray is gonna leave your pillion and u wet behind
Worth the wait. Big Thumbs Up.
I really can see myself moving away from the R6 to the Triple R. I like the fact your riding position is still slightly sporty, longer 1st gear, low down torque, I love the looks.
Great honest review dude.
Suzuki Gunner I felt the same way - I'm not sure I'd have enjoyed it so much coming from the RR if it felt a world apart by being so upright. The sporty position makes you feel more at home, especially coming from a bike that's leant right over.
One of the first videos of yours I watched was your first trip on the striple. I LOVE MY TRIPLE! Not all my bikes have names, but mine was named Alice after two weeks. The torque can be found at any gear at almost any rpm. Simply wonderful!
I think the front end needs the flyscreen to pull it off. I plan on doing a year review on mine in November. Love you smo! Cheers mate!
ThreeStreets42 Good point - I don't have a name for her! Looking forward to your review dude, be interesting to know your thoughts.
Great review.
I am doing my direct access in a few weeks and have my eye on one of these. Went down to my local triumph dealer and seeing one in the flesh I am sold. Great offers at the moment as well with £1,000 of kit. Just got to decide on the colour to go for and what extras to add.
Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work
Hi, did yours come with pirelli diablo rosso corsa tyres? how do you find them, do you keep them on in winter as well? cheers!
Nice review. Just started riding. Have a Aprilia Shiver 2008. But this one was always on my shortlist. First I need a year of practise than we'll see. But one day I will owe one.
Very slick Smo, that's the best thing for me is the sound of a Triumph Triple at full revs.....Awesome noise!
ninjanelly350 Yeah dude, it's so addictive!
This review blows mine into the weeds! Well done. Must have taken you an age to do. What video camera are you using for the woodland shots? I'm looking at the new Samsung NX1 being released in November.
Cool
Thanks fella - I appreciate the comment and try to put as much effort in as I can! As for the camera I was using a Nikon D5200 with a nifty fifty lens (50mm f/1.8G).
Love your reviews bud, your funny as hell!
First off, that was a top review and very professional. I'm glad you are happy with the Street Triple. I recently purchased a Tiger 800 which I love just as much. Very comfortable to ride, good instruments and best of all is the triple engine. Such a great sound from the exhaust that is unmistakable. The engine is so versatile and responsive from anywhere on the tacho. We cannot filter in Australia so filtering is not important but the Tiger is still very easy to manage in traffic and low speed manoeuvres. Confidence inspiring and fun. What more could you want. Well, maybe 2 Triumphs:).
troyboy986 Thanks dude, really appreciate that. I'm gutted for you that you can't filter in Australia though =/
Great and honest review in my opinion.
You make me want one !!
May i know what bar end mirror you have there. Also at what speed the wind buffering become an issue to you ?
Thanks in advance for your response.
+Smo did you have to do a retune for the SC project exhaust? is it necessary?
I love the looks, especially the headlight! ... I'm not a sportbike fan but I really like this bike. Do you know if the suspension can be brought down by at least 2"?
I love the bike. What mods have you done to the bike? Have you installed an ECU alongside the sc project conic?
great review on technical bhp bull or torque figures plain speaking how the bike performs in the real world and how it makes the rider feel about owning the machine. MCN can learn from this well done sir.
Have you tried any tires other than the OE Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsas? I also have a '13 Street Triple R and once the original Pirellis were worn (which took much longer than the 3-4,000 miles I was lead to expect), I decided to try Metzeler Sportec M5's. They're are on the list of "approved" tires if that means anything, I wanted to try something different and they were reported to have better wet traction. The performance seems essentially identical based on my observations. However, when I had the Pirelli's I lived in a place without interesting roads, so my impression was incomplete.
Nice review.
Trying to decide what bike to pick up next, you make the triple R very tempting.
Nice job. Really well put-together review. Nicely edited and filmed too.
Motortriker Thanks dude, really appreciate it!
Awesome review Smo! Getting this bike next week from the dealer. I've watch and read almost every comparison online about the street and they always go in favor of this bike. I still have the 2015 diavel in mind, but I think ill be better off riding the triple for a couple of years since i am still on my first year of learning. I was worried being 6' tall that i might look kind of goofy, but you look good on it for a dude that's 6'2''. Thanks again for the great review.
cycoticasylum Thanks dude! Congrats with your purchase too - will be interesting to see if you have the heart to sell it when the time comes ;)
LOVE the sound of your bike. I too am a sucker for the triple...bought a Yamaha FJ-09 (MT-09 Tracer). Very professional looking video, with very honest commentary. Ride on!
What exhaust is that? Sounds amazing!!! I'm getting my street triple r at the end of the month (first bike). Can't wait though have that nervous excited feeling going on. Any tips for a new rider? Oh and great review mate.
Wow what an excellent review. Dope video editing, perfect balance of music and engine noise. Definitely want this bike next over my 2012 Ninja 650
I watched this video a long time ago but stumbled upon it again today in my feed.. I've got a striple on order, it'll be here next week- looking forward to it so much :)
Top notch edit there SMO. Lots of passion and info. Good enough for any of the bike mag sites. Now.... Where do I sign?
terryjackman Thanks dude, really appreciate the comment! You can sign right on my inner thigh.
Great real life review! I'm seriously considering getting this bike. Have spent a few days riding the 2011 model and loved it. I'm also just under 6'2" which limits the options somewhat.... Btw, what's the music at 10:55 and 0:08? Cheers
Excellent review. I now subscribe to your stuff because your work is just simply a cut above the others. Thanks man. I'm seriously considering a Speed Triple...
Great review. Keep up the good work. I myself bought a monster 796 as my second bike and love it but many people say I'd probably like the street triple r even more. Im going to have to test ride in the spring but I do love my duc. It would be very hard to psrt with her. Id say the only negative for me is the front end. Msybe killing the wind visor would help. Your video has sparked my interest in this bike though. I can say all these bikes are way faster than I need but these naked bikes are just sexy and fun!! I'm late to motorcycles but I'm addicted. Ride safe!
Great review, exactly what I was looking for... seems to me you are good at this, as in you have the proper idea or "common sense" of what people need to hear from a "review". Getting my new Street Triple R Matte Black this friday.. can't even sleep haha.. Cheers.
Great review, getting mine in 2 weeks as a first bike! Merci from Montreal!
Great review! I bought a 2014 Street Triple R, although I demo'ed the new 2016 Speed Triple on the same day, just because I felt the handling of the Street Triple to be superior.
I test rode one of these but not the R after I passed my test, I thought it was brilliant and loved it, but I got an R6, I'm now thinking of going and retesting the street triple and possibly swapping it for my R6, do you think the difference in power will be a disappointment? I only ride for pleasure on weekends so don't really get used to the power the same as someone riding everyday possibly. My R6 is starting to leave me with aches and pains, my neck is killing from a ride yesterday :(
I have a black and gold triple R and it has the two round head lights and a tail tidy with bar mirrors and some sweet delkevic exhaust system and you can hear me from a couple of miles away and in the city it just bounces off the buildings and in tunnels it just gives me chills. I'm not a fan of the headlights so it's easy to change them and if you do, it makes a huge difference, but it's all how you feel... some like them and some not... but the bike to be fair is more fun than a sports. And more comfortable.
Wow!! Awesome review. I love the video editing. Great great job!
Also have you done a comparison between the daytona and the street triple
Nice review man. I've had a standard Street Triple for 5 years now and have just ordered a new R. I'm not normally sentimental but I actually feel really sad to see mine go even though I'm replacing it with another Street Triple!
If it's wind buffeting that anyone wants to experience then I recommend a trip across Germany on the Autobahn; I saw 140 on mine which was quite breezy! I don't think the bike does need power more though, I thought it might struggle but even well above the ton, a good twist of the throttle and the numbers on the speedo still whizz around. On that trip I did successive 600 mile days and other than a bit of numb bum I didn't suffer at all which isn't bad for a naked bike.
This review is fantastic!!!! Thanks so much not to many really good ones out there from riders on the 13-14 STR's. I have a 45 mile commute to work and this bike looks perfect. I was thinking FZ-09 or MT-09 in Europe but it sounds like the suspension on this bike is way bettter than the Yamaha from everything I have read. I know I want a triple so I think I may be picking one of these up. Love the white too!
I love my 2014 street triple r just finished the 500 mile service and can't wait to take it out tomorrow! Great review and I personally agree with every point you made. Enjoy the bike! Cheers!
Ride4life Glad you enjoyed it dude, thanks!
Great review and a great bike. Like all the other comments, I agree. Have my Striple R since mid july 2014. She just hybernated for 3 months and I allready have 7K km's on her. That's just proof how much fun and amazing she is!
Thanks for the review! I was going to buy a cbr600rr till I found out about this bike. Triumph let me have one for a couple hours and I loved it! such a nice bike. now I've put a deposit on one and cant wait till i pick it up at the end of the month :)
Nice review! About how big of framed are you? You said leg room was ok but how tall are you? Weight?
Great review loved every minute, I'm putting a deposit on one tomorrow :)) the space grey and red one and should hopefully own it in a month or so and can't wait, thanks again for the vid it really helped me make my decision
Hit the nail on the effing head dude. I have a 2012 street triple and couldn't agree more with your review (even though mine is the previous model). Great video and some great shots of the bike in the woods.
what exhaust have u installed in ur bike???
Hi mate
Nice review and great editing on the video. Just curious as to what tail tidy you have and also which bar end mirror....same colour of bike as mine......looks good, have you thought about removing the rear pegs to give a more stubby look? Aldo the levers, are they genuine Triumph, I have ordered some Evotech shorties.
John
***** THanks dude, appreciate it! The tail tidy is an Evotech and the bar-end mirror is just a cheap eBay one but it does the job! Same goes for the stubby levers, they're cheap Chinese ones. I had the same on my RR for a year and they were fine so I got them again! If it wasn't for the fact that my girlfriend rides pillion with me almost every time I ride then I would definitely remove the rear pegs, yeah.
Thanks for the review, I'm 5'5" so I hope I can handle the street triple. I think the R is taller
Have one too and love it. But the 1st gear really bothers me -it's hard to pull very quickly out of a stoplight without doing a burnout.
Running a Bodis slip on and PC5, seems to takeaway bits of low end torque but in return the rush from mid to red zone was faster.
Fitted a Wilbers rear shock and it compliment the weight of the bike nicely.
Now I think I need a steering damper lol ......
This year i had to decide between the street triple r and the ktm 690 smc r, and now i want to sell my 690 for the street triple but i am not sure, cause it doesnt feel good the sell a bike with 700km!
What shall i do??
cause i will have to buy new motorcycle gear and have to sell my old one, do you think i should buy the streety and sell my 690 smc r ??
Smo, what are those frame sliders you have? Btw, you chose wisely on the STR.
Such a cool bike, I test rode one last weekend and I can't stop wanting one now. However I do need to say the whine the triple has is from induction, it's from the gear driven cams. Certain years of VFR are a similar cam layout. Beyond that tiny complaint, a flawless review
I've had mine since November of '09 and still love to ride it. Every thing that is said on this video is true. I get on mine and it becomes a part of me. I think that the frame is responsible for the great traction. The older bikes has very little wind buffeting with out a screen. I've been looking at other bikes and have yet to find one that I would trade my Street Triple for. Very comfortable riding position even for a soon to be 61 year old man like myself. P.S. I still like to wheelie once in a while. Go figure. : )
Woodcraft frame sliders on mine don't interfere with my legs but it's a different design all together. Great vid man.
Great review, great bike. I was sold from 0.52 onwards
Test rode the Bonneville and Street Triple yesterday. I was confused yesterday about which one to get, but man the street's growing on me. I mirror your thoughts about this one. It is a superb motorcycle and far more forgiving than most out there. ABS as standard for the Indian model is reassuring too, we don't necessarily have the smartest traffic :-).. Thanks for posting this video. Hope you do some more videos featuring the street triple in that English country-side!
+Kameshwar Thanks dude, and good luck with the decision!
First time I rode a Street Triple it felt like a pushbike ! Super easy to ride. The RR is obviously faster but depends what u want. The RR kinda wants u to go fast. One thing I dont like about the Triumph is the price now. Remember back in 2008, they cost £5500... Mind you, Yamaha are doing the same with MT07, pushing prices up by £500 since the bike proved popular... Plus the MT07 looks like a cheap 125... Just my opinion. Like the vlogs. Just subscribed !
When I pass my big bike test i WILL get one of these! Beautiful!
I have a 600RR and love it but have been wanting to get an additional bike as well and have been looking at these types and the Speed Triple R keeps getting my attention.
Great review and very slick edit, well done sir. Feel the same about my Triple - a yellow and black 2011. I call her Uma (think Kill Bill). Great looking and you want to ride her every day!! Seriously though, enjoying your vlogs, keep them coming.
***** Ha - love the name! Thanks for the support dude, means a lot.
Have to agree...Your in my top 3 vloggers and in the very good company of Crumble and Baron. Obviously we have the same bike but you also keep things real. It's not the slickness but the content i always like. Incidentally David my 2013 Phantom black is Ula, think Number plate...i love her, she'll never be replaced but i might get her some company. Ride safe.
Great vid! Considering something like this or an fz09 for my next one.. The triumph is growing on me though
Hey man, you just got another subscriber - I watched your videos on comparing the Daytona and this, and then this review - I ride an '05 R6 atm and I love it, I've spent some money on it, I did the same exact thing as you - finished my test and got a supersport like a knob. It's been great.
BUT
I live in a beautiful part of the world (BC, Canada, its amazing, come try it sometime) and while it's beautiful you just cannot get the most out of a supersport, much like England (used to live near Manchester!) The Street and maybe the Speed - but the Speed will be expensive as fuck to insure here (insurance based off CC not off Class!!! Amazingly fucked up) and is heavier.
I'ma go try one in spring I think. And the Daytona, ofc. Just to make sure. Anyway - quality vlogging with a non-annoying voice. Always good. Will watch again!
I heard out west insurance isn't even that bad, compared to ontario... it's crazy though I quoted a CBR600rr and a Harley 48 which is 1200cc awhile back and since the harley was 1200cc it was more money. By $125. Stupid af.
Would love to see BC one day, Ontario blows.
Cheers
What kind of exhaust is on it, the Arrow?
Recently sold my 2013 ZX10R & bought a 2015 Street Triple R. Such an incredible bike!
Great video. Love your review. I'm about the same height and have Triumph frame sliders on mine. They don't appear to stick out as much as the ones you've fitted. Have you thought about swapping over to them?
That last line has me thinking that I might need to keep this bike for ever. Ha ha.
Thanks dude! With regard to the sliders, honestly, no. It really doesn't bother me enough to bother changing it.
