I think this will be the best Triumph selling bike in 2025 👍

I've tried both ATAS, 2023 model with a 21" wheel, and the 2024 with 19" wheel, and there is a massive difference between riding them both on tarmac. 19" wheel is more responsive, better/quicker turn and safer/more stable, because wider tyre has more rubber contact with asphalt. I've chosen 2024 ATAS with 19" wheel because I'll spend more time on the tarmac with occasionally gravel/fire roads, but nothing hardcore, because I also strongly believe that Africa Twin is not a proper bike for the off-road - too big and too heavy, like you mention if I would decide ride off-road I'll will definitely choose smaller and lighter motorbike.

The review will be soon 😉

Thank you 👍😊

Thank you 👍

Yes, there was a clutch slipping, this demo bike was previously a bit abused by some riders, and just 2 weeks after my test ride someday crashed it.

Thank you for the optimistic comment 😊 I loved my ST RS, and in my opinion it's currently the best midweight sport naked bike that money can buy. If the new bike doesn't fill the gap after ST I may buy another ST, and I'll keep it this time 😉🤞

MT10 it's a bigger and roomier bike, but there are some nice language options from SW Motech for the ST .

I was the same as you when I got the ST, I thought I'll keep it for life, and then look what happened 🤣😭 I think with the age we got more emotional and more attached to the things 🤔😉 Loved my ST, and definitely I'll miss it, I already do.

@@darekz9777 I agree 100% - back in my 30s I couldn't wait to choose a new bike, but now I'm older.... If I had the space I'd add a 2nd bike instead. 👍👍

I know 😭

And how do you feel now, when you look back from the time protective? Are you happy with the Tiger 800, do you think now it was a good decision back then?

I miss it already 😭. Probably I should keep it longer, The best handling middlewaight bike ever had. I'll see how the new 2025 riding season will go, and if I still miss it badly, I'll buy it again 🤔👍

I actually quite enjoy riding my buddy 2023 MT09SP, maybe because it's not mine and don't ride it every day 😉 It's quite different compared to the ST RS, from riding position, engine characteristic to the build quality. 2023 MT09SP has more low and mid torque than the ST RS, riding position is more straight up, and bike pops wheeles every time you squeeze the throttle 😉, also the rear Ohlins shock has better/quicker adjustment. ST RS has better brakes, more top end power, more sportier/aggressive position which is better for fast riding and ride around the corners. The build quality is outstanding compared to the MT09SP which for example in some please looks bit flimsy and unfinished. My buddy 2023 MT09SP has already rusted underneath exhaust box and heater pipes. Some things changed in 2024 when the new MT09SP was released. The new MT09SP got Brembo brakes and master cylinder, so there is a match with ST RS, also Yamaha lowered the front end of the bike and lifted up the footrest so the riding position is also more sportier and aggressive. The new MT09SP has more futures now like keyless system, nice colour TFT display which in my opinion looks better than ST, cruise control as standard. So the choice between those 2 bikes is not that obvious anymore. I'll strongly suggest to test both those bikes and then decide which one to buy. The catalog numbers or RUclips reviews won't help, only real test ride will give you answers.

@darekz9777 thanks so much for such a detailed reply, much appreciated 👏

You're welcome. 👍

100% true, this is the best sport naked midsize bike, currently on the market. I've even started enjoying the new bike, but I still feel that I missed something in my life 😭 Unfortunately there is no one bike that can do everything, so we always chase that one bike which doesn't exist 🤣

If you have space definitely keep the Gen 1 ST. I had so many nice bikes which I sold or traded and now I'd love to have some of them in my stable. Unfortunately this is called live, and I don't have space to keep more than 2 bikes, and some times you have to lose/sacrifice something to get something new/different 😉 Like I said before ST R will be a more road focused bike, when RS sport/track weapon. The best idea is to visit the dealer and ask for the test ride of both of the bikes, this will clearly give the answer. The Ducati Diavel is a completely different bike compared to the ST, and will give you completely different riding exercises. Again I'll suggest you visit the dealer and ask for a demo ride. Over many years I found out that nothing and nobody will give you a better idea about the bike than the demo ride. There is no point looking into the data sheet, or dealer catalog, just go and test it. Many times it happened to me, that I was after my dream bike, and literally just before decided to buy it, and pay for it in the last moment I've tried/tested some different bike, and all my plan went to the ditch. So don't be afraid, and go to the different dealerships and test as many bikes as you can, then you will have a better and bigger picture. Best of luck 🤞

I've seen this video, but in my opinion this is not a proper tutorial on how to adjust suspension on ST RS. All that he did was adjust rebound and compression according to the suggested settings in the owner book. He didn't touch/adjust any preload on the front suspension and rear of the shock. That's completely wrong. Preload SAG has to be adjusted straight after you buy the bike. It has to be adjusted individually to every rider according to the weight of the rider including his/her riding gear. Only then when you correctly set the front and rear SAG preload you can start adjusting compression and rebound preferably to your riding style, and after a few rides check it again, and maybe try to adjust a few clicks up or down and compare the results until you are happy. This is the first thing which I do with every bike I buy, doesn't matter if it's new or second hand. If you can't do it yourself I'll suggest looking for some help from some good motorcycle mechanic, because I found that most of the dealers are useless if you ask them to adjust suspension to your needs or rider. Even Triumph in it's own owner manual book said that you shouldn't change any preload settings on the rear shock, which is shocking for me 🤣

Hi, to remove the spacer from the rear shock on RS it's very easy, and shouldn't take longer than 20min with some help from another person that should only hold the rear of the bike. I have 2 videos about the rear shock spacer modification on my channel. The RS has better suspension than the R version, and there is more adjustment compared to the ST R. However you will need C spanner for the rear Ohlins shock to adjust correctly preload at the rear shock. I don't know why Triumph in the owners manual book said that you shouldn't change any preload settings at the rear shock, because preload has to be the first thing that has to be adjusted on the new bike, front and rear individually to the each rider. So when you set correctly front and rear preload then you can adjust front and real compression and damping accordingly to your needs: softer or more stiffer/sportier settings. However I found ST RS suspension is on the sportier stiffer side, even if you set them to the soft comfort settings. The whole bike is set to deliver performance, basically it's a sport bike without the fairings. It's one of the best if not the best bike in its own class, the handling and performance is amazing, same as building quality. So if you fit into that riding category you won't be disappointed, but you have to know, you have to be aware of what you will buy: it is a PURE SPORT NAKED SINGLE PERSON MACHINE. I love it 😉👍

Thank you so much for your comprehensive reply. I currently own an immaculate Gen 1 street triple and I think the Rs maybe a little too race focused but I plan after reading your response to test ride both bikes . I Really appreciate your prompt reply and please keep the videos coming it’s an excellent channel for all us bikers with love the detail you put in

Thank you. The RS version has better components than the R version, also the engine mapping is slightly different. As you mention with the RS version everything is about the sport and performance, but also everything can be changed to the more comfortable riding. The best idea is to test both motorbikes and then you should definitely feel the difference. For sure the R version is more dedicated and set for the road users, where the RS will suit the person who wants to take this bike from time to time to the track.

No, Klim Krios Pro will still be manufactured and sold, this is the new Klim X1 Alpha helmets, which is the new line up of helmets offered by Klim, it is not a Krios Pro replacement. So in 2025 both helmets will be offered and sold by klim.

@darekz9777 Thanks for the information. There is no stock at the moment, so I asked. I'm glad it's Cross Pro 2025.

As always at the end of the year there are stock problems with Klim stuff, but everything should go back to normal in February/March.

@@darekz9777 🙌

It's an aftermarket one, it's some from Ali dark smoke

Yes, you're right, this is the new function added to the 2024 models, and also they've updated firmware on older models to add that feature. Unfortunately I discovered that function too late during my short test ride. Still the Tiger 1200 is a great bike, loaded with so many features, and gadgets, and dedicated to different types of riders than 900, like them both 👍

Sorry for your loss. ST It's a great bike, and if you still do the type of riding that ST RS offers you won't be disappointed with the 2024 model.

From Triumph

OK, you just use 2023 version 👍

So far I haven't had a single problem with my motorbike it starts and rides like from day one. I have a friend who I ride with, and he has 2020 Street Triple 765 RS with 46,000 km on the clock and every year he takes his bike for some Europe trip without any fair that he's going to get stuck somewhere in the middle of the road. I also have a friend who has Tiger 900 with nearly 120,000 km on the clock and no single issue with it. Of course you can find some people with Triumph motorbikes that experience nothing about the problems, but that will apply basically to any other bike manufacturers. Speaking about Japanese motorcycles not so far ago. Honda experienced massive problems with their touch screens that people claim warranty issues, so Honda had to step in and just replaced the screens under the warranty and extend the warranty on all touch screens for the 10 years. Also, if I remember correctly, Honda, Suzuki always had problems with the voltage regulators in the past so not only European bikes experience some problems but also the Japanese bikes too they have their own problems, but what happened is that people don't speak loudly about them, because it's not fair. Speak badly about Japanese bikes because they are supposed to be perfect. There's no such thing as a perfect bike and soon or later you will experience some problems, manufacture faults, bad design or something else. Of course some bikes will have better design than the other bikes. Some of the bikes have less stress put into the engine and will last longer than the other. But in general if you look after your motorcycle you shouldn't have major problems with it,unless you own a KTM - 🤣 I'm joking of course!

@@darekz9777 Thanks for answering my friend, you are right about everything also with the KTM thing🤣, I prefer to take risks with Triumph than Ktm, greetings from Mexico.
