    Great purchase Mate, I'm 62 now and have owned 8 new Triumphs over the years and never had an issue with any of them, rock solid machines. Congratulations 👍

    I'm also in my sixties and changed my 2020 Street triple for the new RS also in cosmic yellow, the new bike has raised the bar over the last model, it handles sharper but is still planted and low and mid range acceleration is much peppier, as for the noise I don't know if the US model is different but here in the UK Triumph made a point of saying the new model had improved the sound and I can confirm it's definitely louder than my old 2020 bike, plus all my biking friends comment on how good it sounds, my only slight gripe is the TFT which IMO is too cluttered and not as good as the previous one, some of the things like the clock are so tiny it's impossible for an old timer like me to read it without my glasses on, TBH I like the simpler TFT that's on the R (also on the Trident and Tiger 660) but the TFTs a minor thing as this is my fourth Street triple and by far my favourite.

      Good to here... I do like Triumph's over all build quality... I had 2018 Speedmaster and a Scramble 1200, great bikes. I agree, the TFT could have been designed better, but it is something I can easily live with. It would be nice if they could give us a software update and change the layout to a larger and more performance look... like the speed triple. As far as the exhaust... it sounds good, but its way to quite for me. I have already sourced a work around to get a slip on to work and hoping to get it all doe next week.

    Congratulations Ken! Beautiful bike!! You may remember me from the conversations we had over the last couple of months (you made a video for a question I had too)!
    So after all these months of contemplating, test riding, thinking, procrastinating, I finally bought a bike lol 23 Low Rider S! It’s my first cruiser and Harley, this was never even in my radar. The bike spoke to me, took like 6 months and 15 + test rides on different bikes to find the one for me.
    Ken thank you for the advice, recommendations and just speaking to me about this, I had a really tough time mentally pulling the trigger on a bike. Conversing with someone like you with in-depth experience and you providing your honest opinion helped me more than you ever know! You’ve helped make a positive difference in my life, I can’t think of anything greater than that to do for someone else. I try to ride as much as I can, it’s addicting!
    I want to volg like you do, maybe even help some people like you do by speaking out about the decision making process and my experience.
    This is proof that your channel helped make someone’s life better. Your positivity is contagious, much gratitude for everything!

    • @Yo-Ken
      @Yo-Ken  Год назад +1

      I do remember, I'm glad I could help. The Low Rider is a cool bike, that's the type of cruiser I like, not to heavy and lots of torque. Thanks for the kind words, but it seems you have figured out whats best for you. I wouldn't say I have in-dept experience in bikes... maybe in life, but experience that's not used wisely is useless. In your case I think you did the right thing. Young people should not rush into making large purchases, thinking them out is important. For me, my time is running out and I tend to buy on emotion, its not always a good thing, but I have no regrets. Its very humbling when you here that you have influenced someone in a positive way. Looking forward to see your channel and new ride.

      Sound is definitely subjective... but the multi-million dollar industry for exhaust would seem to suggest that most bike enthusiasts like a louder bike. The euro 5 bs has given the industry a nice market I'm happy to say... as far as the neighbors are concerned, such is life.

  • @ZabDevin
    @ZabDevin Год назад

    Not sure if someone told you this below, but to make the TFT dark you need to change the contrast all the way to dark. It will stay that way, unless there is not enough ambient light, then it will temporarily go back to bright. In other words, take it out of auto and adjust manually. I think the settings are in the ‘display’ menu.

    congrats man! such a lovely bike. Just wait until you put exhaust on that thing, you will love the triple sound. it sounds amazing, very addicted. Idk if you can get a slip on for it, i heard that 2024 model, they welded the cat and muffler together because of all the Euro 5 BS. If you get the full exhaust, i'm sure it'll sound godly but it might void the warranty.

    The Street Triple is a great bike. My wife has had her older model since 2015 with no issues. I struggle to understand how it can be called a 2024 model in the US? Definitely a 2023 model here in England. We are only a few miles from the Hinckley headquarters of Triumph

    • @Yo-Ken
      @Yo-Ken  Год назад +1

      My only guess is they had over produced the 2022 models for the US and needed to sell them as 2023's. The 2023's are the same as the 22's here in the US. It is confusing and makes it difficult to buy parts for new model.

The R would also be great if you don't want cruise control, a better suspension and brakes along with more color options. The R has received great reviews and the price point is very good.

      Second owner chiming in to say you have to truly ride it to understand how good it is. There is a display mode that shows a 00000 numerical read out of the tach over the wing design, it's not the best but it's absolutely the only downside

Title and registration fees, $129, totally fine with. North Carolina tax $424, also fine with. Total... 14,695. I wanted this bike, so I sucked it up and bought it. I told them I would never by another bike from them or service or parts. They contacted me again and said they would make it up to me... I am not holding my breath.

    I have the red one. Luv it! I also have cruise control. From my experience, the technicians have to ‘enable’ it in the software. The exhaust is loud enough for me (I like being able to hear, LOL). Otherwise, I also have the TPMS, Bluetooth module, frame sliders, radiator guard, tank pad, tail tidy (Evotech), integrated tail light/turn signals (Motodynamic), and the Euro turn signals in front. I also ran a 6’ USB cable from the rear under seat, and the left side panels, up the steering column to the handlebars. (Credit: @MotoCorn) Works great with my Quad lock and iPhone.

      The red looks awesome, no doubt. Man you have got all the accessories. That would be a major bummer if I had to go to the dealer when I install the cruise, I do all my own service. I am not a fan of dealer service departments unless i know them personally. I wouldn't use the dealer I bought my bike from for service. It was not a good experience. Sales or service was poor at best. The service department poorly prepped the bike, tire pressure, unplugged wiring along with modules out of their rubber supports... it didn't even look like it was detailed. I should have just walked out, but they bike look so good, I just wanted it. Never buy on emotion... I should have taken my own advice. Anyway... its a blast to ride and that's behind me.
      The exhaust is way to quite for me, next few videos you will here it with a new system... its loud, but I like it.
