- Street triple 2011 vs 2021 - What do you get if you take your best friend and riding buddy, her 2011 Triumph Street Triple 675 R, and compare it to the 2021 Street Triple 765 RS? A bumper-issue motorcycle vlog packed with fun, interviews, a close look at the 2011 and 2021 Street Triple, onboard GoPro footage of both bikes, bike reviews, and much more, that's what!
I had so much fun making this video as I managed to persuade my best friend Elyske, (also known as twinny), into showing off her 2011 Triumph Street Triple 675 R and compare it to the 2021 Street Triple 765 RS and as you’ll see at the end, we had our fair share of laughs along the way too!
Thanks also to my friends at Lings Triumph Essex, I was able to borrow a 2021 Street Triple 765 RS for us to compare, both on and off the bike, and If that isn’t enough, I also take a look at one of the very first Street Triple 765 RS’s which was launched in November 2019 and show you in detail the modifications the owner has made to his bike.
I’m sure you will agree, It certainly is a bumper issue video which as always I hope you enjoy. Please remember guys to keep your comments respectful.

A massive thanks to Elyske, Triumph Essex, and Steve for all their help making this video.

Old version so much more cool, engine note is perfect, Headlights were perfect and first gear was perfect.
Absolutely.
Don’t think so
I have 2010 675r street triple with arrow exhausts - Have to say I wouldn't upgrade it to any later model- It is absolutely fantastic as it is. The headlights give it plenty of character, the sound of the arrow exhaust is outstanding the brakes you have complete control over without daft ABS - Yes you need to feel the road your inertia and your relationship with all above but thats exactly how it should be, you are living in the now. The Generation 1 Street triple is an absolute classic. Sticking to the Gen 1 bike..
I’m pleased to hear how much you love your Street Triple, it certainly has bucket loads of character. We’re planning to feature Twinnies bike again soon in more videos, watch this space! 😁👊
how many miles do you have on it? I'm at 14k miles (in a year) and worried about the reliability at high mileage as I'm most likely going to put in around 14~15k miles per year
Good words, but..............have you ridden a newer one? I would be curious to know your thoughts. I have older skis that I prefer over new ones. In fact they just ruined the Ibis Ripley, so I am aware of companies going backwards sometimes and not forward. But if you ride a newer one please post your comments, many would be interested as to what you find.
I love the bloopers at the end, great video.
I don’t think you can go wrong with any Street Triple, they are all great bikes and all sound awesome, it’s down to person preference at the end of the day.
I want one!!!
Thanks matey, the bloopers on this one always cheers me up whenever I watch it! 🤣
You are Street Triple biased! Yep, it’s definitely down to personal preference and they’re all awesome! Thanks for watching and joining in the conversation! 😁👊
That's a really lovely 675. To my ears, nothing beats the sound of the twin arrows without baffles. I miss mine. The 765R I have now is great, but it doesn't sound great. I miss that burble and overrun my 675 had.
It really is isn’t it and it looks even better now we’ve had time to give her a good polish! 😁 Have you thought about getting an aftermarket exhaust? That could transform the sound, albeit it won’t be as good as Twinnies bike! 🤣🤣🤣👊
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Yea i put an arrow can on it.......but it doesn't even come anywhere close. Twin pipes are the benchmark. Best sound ever!
@@fingarz I have to agree! 👍
@@fingarz hehe i have a 2012 striple R with the twin undertail arrows (baffles in because they refuse to come out no matter how hard I pull and I have no idea why) but still sounds absolutely incredible
edit: just to clarify I did take out the C clips and also had a long and hard look for tack welds (which I didn't find any) and i've also tried removing the baffles after a long ride to get them hot but that still didn't work so if you have any advice for me that'd be great :)
@@Not_alex_jones That's really odd. I'm sure mine came out with a just a little bit of force. They weren't tack welded, just a little tight. Hope you get that sorted as it's a nice thing to hear. I do agree that even with the baffles in, the triple twin pipes still sing so nicely.
I've had the 2010 Street Triple R and now ride Phil's exact bike. The ST3 was a great machine and I owned it for 9 years. The sound of the induction and gurgle on downshift was addictive. I moved to the SP3 for longer distance biking as it cruisers at lower revs and I found it less tiring. What I also noticed is it's a lot more planted in the corners where the ST3 felt a little fidgety turning in at speed. Both great machines. I ran Supercorsa SPs for the last 10 years but after burning through them on the Speedy (4500km) I've moved to Michelin Power 5s and find them just as grippy and they seem to be wearing better.
Thanks the comments, John. I couldn’t agree more, I absolutely love my Speed Triple for Rider comfort and handling. I know a few people who have fitted Michelin Power 5s. I’d love to know for myself how they handle compared to my Road 5s which have incredible grip in the wet and cold conditions. Enjoy your SP3 and thanks for watching! 😁👍
Love my 2010 Street Triple R, black with gold wheels and low single Arrow exhaust. Nothing else needed, but plenty of new bikes to fantasize about. Old school chrome headlights is where it's at!! Feeling envious of the Ohlins shock, though, on your buddy's bike. Hmmm...
Thanks for commenting. Yeah, the chrome headlights are very cool indeed, I love the old school look. Her suspension does give a hard ride on the street but it’s still an absolutely awesome bike. I can’t wait to get twinny riding my Speed one day! Your bike sounds awesome. Have you seen my cleaning videos which you might find interesting? 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones I'll check them out. Who doesn't love giving their bike a good cleaning, eh?!
@@ebranman1 Exactly!!! 🤣👍
So, I went from a 2009 Street Triple to a GSXS-750 after I messed up the bike attempting a repair (sold it to a mechanic). Now, I’m about to pick up a 2021 Street Triple R. This comparison is exactly what I needed.
Did you know I used to own a GSXS-750? I went to Scotland on it. Check out my video! I’m sure you’ll love the 2021 Street Triple, let me know how you get on and what your thoughts are between the two bikes. Enjoy, and thanks for the kind comments! 😁⚡️
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones I actually just started that video series. It's is wonderful. I love the dialogue, it's very immersive and calm. Cinematography was wonderful as well.
I wanted to ask you the same thing! I liked my GSXS however, it was mostly only ever fun at 8k rpms and above in my opinion. I also wasn't a fan of the looks, a little to generic like for my taste. Plus, I always felt like the handlebars were uneven. 4 dealerships after my first year of ownership to fix the issue and I gave up. Probably was dropped by the dealership I purchased it from new.
I did however like the abundance of parts here in the US. I started shopping around for parts for the 2021 Street Triple R last night. No where near as available, and a bit more expensive. Although, much more abundant than parts for the 2009 Street Triple I had prior.
All in all, it was a good bike. Not a great one but a dependable one. I put 8k miles on it in my year of ownership. Unfortunately, the one I received just had some quality control issues.
I'm really hoping I keep this Street Triple indefinitely. I need a dependable, do everything forever bike. I considered a few other names but the Japanese bikes all have funky styling. The KTMs aren't known for dependability and the Monster is pricey in comparison. The XSR900 was my only other true alternative.
@@detricklowe624 Thanks for watching my video about my trip to Scotland and your kind words. It was an amazing trip and I hope to have another experience like it again before too long.
I really liked my GSXS-750 and didn’t have any issues, but my Speed Triple 1050 S is in a different league! I’m fortunate enough to get to ride Twinny’s Street Triple, in fact we have just given it a little makeover and there will be a video coming soon. Getting parts for Triumphs in the UK isn’t a problem, perhaps ask around on Facebook as I know they’re pretty popular in the US. 👍
Many folks would say a Street Triple is probably a bit quick for a first bike but we did the same here. Carol's first bike was a purple Street Triple but the first year they controversially changed from those round headlights. Nice job of the duel presenting. Like you I've ridden the new and the old bike. Both are great, but something special about the looks of the earlier model with the under-seat exhausts.
Not a massive fan of all the electronics on the new bike but its a pity the earlier bikes don't even have ABS. Like the out takes 👍👍 Cheers and take care.
Thanks as always for watching and your comments. My friend actually has a purple Street Triple with the redesigned lights, infact I saw it yesterday and was able to compare it exactly with Twinnies bike, I agree with you, the old bike is much nicer. Carol must have liked her street to want an updated version. I’m pleased you like the outtakes, fun times indeed! 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones The only reason she moved to a 2016 model was to get ABS brakes, unfortunately they had moved to the low slung exhaust and a taller first gear that year, both of which she didn't like as much as the purple Street.
@@Banditmanuk The ABS is great to have, maybe a custom street triple is needed to get the best of both worlds! 🤔👍
This is precisely the spec I'm looking for my street triple. Need to get one now 😂
Good luck with your search! Let me know how you get on 😁👊
Very nice video, a great comparison with a great team. I just signed a purchase order for this Street RS, delivery in February 2022 :) Thanks a lot ! You have a new subscriber
Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I bet you’re super excited to get your new bike, enjoy! 😁 Thanks for the sub and encouragement! 👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Yes super super excited.. wait and see :)
I have tried an 2010 street 675 two weeks ago, you have the maximum pleasure and perf for the money ! What an engine and what a sound 😀 Even with stock exhaust. I would probably moove to my Thunderbird for the 675😉
It’s a great bike isn’t it! I’m looking forward to creating some exciting new videos of this bike next year! Check my Instagram to find out more! 😁 Good luck with finding the right bike for you! 👊
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones , thank's 😉 I hesitate also with the new Trident 660... less power but even more affordable.
But for sure, I will continue with three cylinders 😀
Excellent idea. I like booth, but more of the old bandit black one, for some reason. Maybe because I love the Speed Triples rounded eyes since the beginning. Best.
The older Street Triple is a classic now isn’t it! Like you, I love the chrome headlights they look so cool! 👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Yep. Unfortunately, here in Brazil they doesn't exist, or exist rarely and in a very bad condition. By the way, for same price, and today, what would you pick for same price: 2016 Speed Triple R (latest here only exist in the R version, 2016 and 2017) or 2018 - 2020 ST3 765 RS? Never rode the SP3 R, and found the ST3 a little bit weak at low and mid-range, the opposite of my 2012 F800R, wich I love. Thanks a lot and best.
Lovely bikes, I owned a Street R 2011, grey, with the arrows, tiring sound in town, sold it, missed it and got a 2010 R black and gold, standard exhaust, not as pretty but relaxed sound. It handles incredibly well with suspensions adjusted, forks oil changes and Metzeler m7rr tyres. I live in the Alps so it sees a lot of twisty roads :)
Sorry for being slow, I missed this one! It sounds like you live in an incredible part of the world, and I’m pleased you have managed to get a bike you love and get it set up for you! 😁👊
I recently (may 23) bought a 765R and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately my other half has decided she wanted to come along for the ride. So I now find myself the proud owner of a 2 week old 900 Rally Aragon. Best of both worlds. However I keep the 765 at work hoping if she doesn't see it the topic of selling it won't arise.
PS no man should have as many gorgeous friends
That sounds awesome, congratulations. I’m pleased to hear you are trying your best to keep the 765R, as you should!
I’m very fortunate to have some lovely friends with big hearts! 🥰
Great review. I've had the 2018 street triple 765rs and now have the 2020 street triple 765rs. I love the 2020 styling such as lights and rear , but the 2018 had a better induction sound when giving it full throttle , other than that I love what triumph have done to these bikes. Also I changed the tyres to pirelli diablo rosso 2 for confidence in riding on wet days. Take care guy's, Mick.
Thanks, Mick. I appreciate your comment especially as you have more experience on the Street Triple than I do! Whichever model you get, they’re just an old all round fun bike to ride aren’t they?! The new look does look lovely, it just had a very different to the older model which you would obviously expect. Have you thought about changing your exhaust? There are plenty of aftermarket systems to change your sound! All the best 😁👊
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones I had considered getting the Yoshimura exhaust(aud $1100) but triumph did well with the stock one. Love that unique whistle sound they have👍
@@Bronson9822 I do love the look and sound of a Yoshi but they’re not cheap are they?! You gotta say Triumph have made a great sounding engine! 🙌
Nothing beats Michelin Road 6 on normal ridding conditions. Those Pirellis really need to be driven at extremes to show their full potential, for example, on a circuit.
Love both bikes and a good video Philly, I particularly like the quick cuts between bike and putting on gloves, a nice touch. Surprised you didn't clean Elyske's bike for the macro shots though :). Q. What difference does removing the quick shifter make to the insurance?
Thanks buddy! I’m pleased you like the new editing techniques. Honestly, I wanted to clean her bike before but we literally didn’t have time as she really is a busy girl. I did however clean it on Friday and it’s sparkling ready for our next video! 😁👍
Wow, awesome looking with the extra carbon bits. And that was just Elyske! :-D
Haha! Yep the Street certainly looks awesome with the carbon touches, and yes Elyske is a very lovely soul! 🥰
Awesome videos. Keep doing them!:)
Thanks so much, I appreciate the encouragement! 🙏
I had a white 675. Thinking of a trident now after not having had a bike for years. Miss my ST
The Trident is a great bike, especially if you haven’t ridden for years. It has plenty of power to have fun but it obviously doesn’t have the power of the RR. Check out my Trident video if you haven’t seen it. Let me know how you get on! 👍
Hi just found and subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to going through your videos. I have a 2019 Street Triple RS. Take care 👍🏍🏁
Hi John. Thanks for subscribing. There’s a Speed Triple series you might be interested in, be sure to share your thoughts and experiences on your Speed Triple RS 👍
What a gorgeous machine...oh, the bikes are nice too...nuff said
🤣🤣🤣
Great video Phil 👍😎
Awww thanks Kaz! I really appreciate you taking a look 👍
I want a riding buddy like yours
Sound of the old Street Triple 675 is so much Better! LOVE IT
I have to agree but the new Street Triple is still very nice! 👊
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones I had a street triple 3 years ago and I‘ve to say that I‘ve found it to be the best of all the bikes I‘ve had!
I had a F650 GS Twin, Z1000SX, Honda CB500, Street Triple 675, Yamaha FZ8 and at least a CBF 1000 sc58.
The ergonomics of the Street Triple are forged by hand for my body.
The performance is absolutely sufficient and in my opinion the fun beat every bike!
Tomorrow I'm going to buy a 2010 Street Triple 675 R. I'm looking forward to it!
@@User1234y It sounds like you have had some great bikes but I’m sure you will love the 675 R! Let me know what you think! Be safe 👊
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones The Street Triple 675 R is the best of all Bikes i have ever had.
The Suspensions are incredible sporty. And the Sound with both Arrows are a Dream 😄
I used to have a 2011 Street Triple and I now have a 2017 Speed Triple.
I really miss the chrome headlights, I thought they made such a statement. I also prefer under seat exhaust, they look bad ass.
The 2017 Speed is awesome but I have to agree with you about the chrome headlights and under seat exhausts! Maybe I’ll customise a Speed one day! 😁👊
I love motorcycles! Subscribed! 👍
Thanks for the sub!
I have a ‘21 Street Triple R and Absolutely love it! The nimbleness and power band is exactly where I would want it to be. I’m looking to install a Yoshi exhaust in the near future.
I’m pleased you are happy with your ‘21 Street Triple, I bet it will sound awesome with a Yoshi! What do you think of the new 2023 Street Triple range? 😁
The Moto2 limited edition looks fantastic! I’m looking forward to riding a ‘23 model to compare to the ‘21; not sure how noticeable the changes will be?
@@juddfodness8354 It does look awesome doesn’t it! The racing yellow might be too bright for me though, and it will attract midges in the summer!! 🤪🤣 I’m excited to try one for myself! 🤞
You keep your first generation Street Triple. The best version out there who still look like a real street bike.
It’s a lovely bike isn’t it! New video about this one coming soon! 😁👍
I have a 2015 Street Triple R which is a perfect middle ground between these two. I think it’s fantastic and really don’t see much added appeal with the 2021 rs, other than the headlights, which I swapped on my 2015 anyways.
There’s nought wrong with a 2015 Street Triple R, I’m glad you’re having fun. The headlight swap sounds like a nice mod! 😁👍
Thank you - told me more about the triple.
I’m pleased to help a little! Thanks for your comment! 😁👍
That older street triple nearly sounds the same like my speed triple
Just bought my second last week!
Awesome, I hope you have fun on it. What year is your bike?
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones hey mate, thanks! yeah its a great bike, its a 2007 1050. just uploaded a video if you are interested, its a great cruiser id say
Phil is just super cute! And i love my 2009 street triple r
Thank you I have to agree!🤣 Stay safe on your Street Triple! 👊
The single exaust HP Corse Hydroform is way lighter and gorgeous to see and hear.
"I don't think I can be enticed by anything new.". Agree. 2012 R model. What more could I ask for?
Twinny is never wrong! 🤪🤣
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones The Street is not commonly known here in the States. I actually cringe when I am asked what kind of Motorbike I have. It's staggering to me that more here are not aware of this Masterpiece that Triumph builds. I was absolutely infatuated with it the first 5-6 years I owned one. Those who don't know, just don't know.
@@triple6758 oh wow, really! I’m surprised by that. It is indeed a great bike, I’m fortunate enough to take it for a spin when I have the spare time but I’m also lucky enough to admire it when I’m out riding with Elyske. I hope you manage to spread the word! 😁👊
Great vid! I had a 2012 street triple r (until it was stolen) and I now have a 2021 street triple r , I so I found it very interesting. Just out of interest why did removing the quick shifter help with insurance?
Thanks for taking a look and commenting. Would you agree the two bikes handle very differently? This was the first time Twinny insured a bike, the insurance company were keen for her to remove the quick shifter. Who knows how their minds work?! 🤪👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Hi Phil thanks for answering my question.👍🏼 to answer yours, yes they do handle differently and yet when I jumped on my str 2021 it was really familiar and even blindfolded I would have known it was an str ( and not because of the distinct sound).
Hi Phil, great seethe comparison between the two bikes and the difference with one the r spec and the 21 rs 765 . I Owen a 2018 model 765 rs and it Only as quick shifter that that goes up and manuly comes down or so I was led to believe if you no different then let me no . I did not no you can get afrount fender extender which is a good mode to do with my bike and will be doing as soon as possible so thanks for that and your twin looks a good rider
Hi Paul. Thanks for commenting, I’m pleased you have enjoyed the video. I’m not sure about the quick shifter on your bike but many around that year were up only. We are going to be doing some work on Ely’s very soon so keep your eyes peeled! She’s a great rider for sure, i can’t wait for more days out on the bike with her again soon. All the best! 👊
Would you say a street triple would be a good bike to start your biking journey this will be my first bike and i really want a street triple
@@MichaelFerguson-w4v Hi Michael. I would say a Street Triple would make a great first bike. This 2011 Street Triple is Elle’s first bike and she loves it. The new models are a lot smoother and have more features to assist a rider. Check out my 765 RS video… ruclips.net/video/357eBHGyArM/видео.htmlsi=L22V1_2zprUGBX4w
Hi
Is the street triple big enough for someone just over 6;foot.
I don’t want to be in a cramped, knees bent riding position.
Also do you carry luggage on your bike? What do you use? Tail bag, tank bag, ruck sack??
Hi Beverley. Thanks for dropping by again, I hope all is well with you. Well twinny is 6’1” and doesn’t feel cramped, I believe she did talk about her height and the difference in the two bikes. Lyskie wears a rucksack, no tail bags for our short trips. I have an Oxford Products T30 R tail bag which works well! 😁👊
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones thanks Phil.
Considering Street Triple or Monster if I go for a naked, have you ridden the Monster?
Dilemma is naked with clean air but limited luggage options versus bike with screen which gives protection (albeit seen so many reviews where wind buffeting and noise is a problem) with ability to carry items in panniers/ top box;; considering Tracer or Tiger Sport 660 (I found Trident too small) or Multistrada if I really pushed the boat out.
So difficult to choose!!
@@beverleynorth4914 No problem. Did you see my video where I rode the Tiger 660? Three Triumph’s in one day. I haven’t yet ridden the Monster, hopefully next year but I have ridden the Multistrada V4S recently, video coming soon. As you can imagine it’s perfect for long journeys and of course you can feel the wind on a naked, but it’s still fun. I took my old Suzuki GSX-S 750 to Scotland! I’ve had some ideas for touring on a naked video so keep an eye out, although it may be too late for you! Keep me posted! 😁👊
Yep saw the 3 Triumphs vid.
I’ll catch your future vids as I am sub’d.
Bikes with screens that are poor are a pain - difficult to fully evaluate in a short 1 hour test ride.
Nearly as daft as seats that are uncomfortable forcing you to buy a ‘comfort seat’. Ridiculous!!!
@@beverleynorth4914 Thanks for supporting my little channel, much appreciated! Yep, it’s definitely difficult. The best bike I’ve ridden on a kong journey was the Multistrada V4S, but I’m hoping to have a Triumph Tiger 1200 soon! 🤞
Elyske 😍😍😍
Nice 😊🙏🏾👊🏾
Despite owning 2 street triples original 2007 and 2012 R I’d be torn between those two. 765 has got too many plastics and cheap stickers but it’s probably a better and safer bike. Is it more fun though? Not sure. And the old one aged pretty well. Especially in black with gold wheels option.
Yep, they’re both great bikes. A lot of people want a more modern bike but you can still pick up an older Street with lo mileage. As twinny and you have pointed out, the older model does have a look of its own but doesn’t appeal to everyone. They are both fun to ride in their own way! 😁👍
On the 2011 did she say Daytona R Forks? Those don’t look like Daytona forks. Not sure what they are but definitely high quality. Love both bikes. Cheers from 🇺🇸
Hi. Yes, Elyske did say that! The spec she received with the bike listed Daytona R Forks. I’ll try and look into it in more detail soon. Thanks for the comment and for watching, I hope you liked the video! 😁👍
the old street triples are just fab with an aftermarket exhaust. the newer ones with the euro X bullshit are just vacuum cleaners on wheels.
🤣🤣🤣 What can I say?! 👊
Old one looks so much better imo
A lot of people do like the old style Street Triple. Thanks for watching! 👊
Great bikes but I prefer the old school looks
They do look good don’t they! 😁👍
I haven’t ridden any Street Triple (or Triumph for that matter), but I’m sure that the 765 is, objectively, a better bike.
I just think that the 675 looks so much nicer and I’m not sure that you’ll have that much more fun (if any) on a new RS.
Is it a case if 95% of the fun for less than half the money as I suspect?
The Street Triple 765 is a great bike, I would definitely recommend you test ride one if you get the opportunity.
The difference between the two bike’s is very subjective as it is with all bikes. I have friends who own the 765 and wouldn’t want to own the older Street Triple for a their own reasons, looks, technology, reliability, but as far as Twinny is concerned, she much prefers the 675 for looks!
As far as having fun, you get 100% fun when riding either bike that’s for sure, it’s just the ride feels slightly different from old to new!
Fortunately in life, we all like different things which is a good thing really, otherwise life would be boring! 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones
I bought a new Z900 last year, so I don’t think I can afford testing any new bikes for the next year or so 😂
@@MachoMadness69420 Nice bike! There’s no reason to test ride any other bike now then. Enjoy the bike and stay safe! 😁👍
Got to love women on bikes :)
By chance would you sell the quick shifter if not been used thanks
Hi! We were talking about fitting it back on the bike at one stage, but I’ll ask the question! 👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones thank you
You know her suspension is adjustable, she can easily soften it. Would only take a few minutes.
@@31acruz Thanks for the advice. We believe it’s already on the softest settings, but I’ll take another look! 👍
She has a travel indicator on her front forks. Even when you rode her bike, you didn’t get past 1/2 travel on the front forks. Gee, I wonder why her fully adjustable suspension is so stiff? You need to take her and her bike to a suspension guy and get at least 75% of the travel engaged. Then get the rebound and compression dialed in. A
Then and only then, can you talk about her bikes handling. Same goes for the new bike.
You have a good point about getting the suspension set up, when she first got the bike she had someone take a look and adjust the suspension, although he wasn’t a suspension specialist. As for doing the same on the demo bike, let’s be honest, I can’t do that on a bike I’ve borrowed for a day and how many bikers even look at adjusting the suspension? In my experience it’s track day guys who only do this. Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed it! 😁👍
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones What you say is completely true. Most Motorcylist’s know almost nothing about suspension. Dave Moss videos got me started on my journey about all this. Too stiff? You’re getting beat up for no reason on an adjustable suspension bike. Too soft? You run the risk of bottoming out the forks and losing the front in an emergency braking situation. Knowledge is power! That zip tie travel indicator is your first clue. 75-80% is a good goal to shoot for of total travel. 20% is reserve. Watch Dave Moss for a month and learn the process. A properly adjusted suspension feels like you’re riding on rails, getting the rebound adjusted evenly usually accomplishes this goal. Preload and compression can dial in the travel and the comfort. It’s all very interesting and it doesn’t end there. There’s geometry adjustments, tire pressure selection- all of these things once understood can be used to great advantage. Even non adjustable forks that dive and bottom out can be fixed relatively easily by a suspension guy, if not yourself. My first almost crash was my suspension bottoming out because I hit the front brakes too hard in a perceived moment of action. I now realize that had I had my suspension setup on my Kawasaki ninja 650 beforehand, I would have been so much safer. I almost went down, I ended up putting my foot down at greater than 50 mph. I lost the toenail on my left foot. Not good. I’d been riding for a month at the time. What do you do? The suspension is non adjustable. Bring it to a suspension guy! Do you need bigger springs for your weight, thicker fork oil? It’s all possible and can keep a person from danger on a sport that’s inherently dangerous. Bikes are setup at the factory for someone, but who? What do they weigh? What do you weigh? All pertinent information. Hope this helps. Join Dave Moss for a month and see if you like his style. Be safe.

I haven’t noticed it when riding her bike or any Street come to think of it. What year bike do you have?
12:10 Why put music over the sound of the bikes? Don't understand this. It is totally distracting.
Sorry you didn’t agree, Alex. I’m obviously just trying to do what I thought was best and create a bit of variety. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video though 👍
What do u need to convert the 675 to a 675r?
Hi! I believe the difference between the standard Street Triple and the R model is, adjustable rear suspension and front forks, upgraded brakes from 3 pot to 4 pot, exhaust silencers, brake levers and I believe the original Triumph R had a seat cowl, belly pan and a fly screen. I hope this helps!
@@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Magura handlebars and Radial front brakes too
@@johnfoy1605 Thanks for letting me know! 😁👍
You're stuck for eternity in the just friends list😂
It’s a great list to be on! There’s going to be more about this bike soon! 👊
@TheAdventuresofPhilJones Great Bikes and I own one..
Have comfort in the fact I know I'm not making any list apart from the ignore list 😂.
Life's too short not to be cheeky😉
Old round headlights and under the seat pipes looks better
I have to agree, thanks for watching! 😁👍
Later one certainly picks up quicker
There’s definitely a massive difference when riding both bikes but looks wise so many people still prefer the older model as it has some character, but the new one certainly is an easier bike to ride! 😁👍
Why music over the older bike… :(
Ooops, sorry! I thought it was a good idea and unfortunately you can’t please everyone all of the time as I’m sure you know! Thanks for watching though 😁👍
la premiere version est magnifique avec les deux phares rond !
l autre est a chier !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We do agree the round headlights look amazing, I’m not sure I agree the 2021 Street Triple is s@#t! Perhaps that got lost in translation! 🤪🙏
Soooooo basically you can skip the first 15 minutes :D
You definitely don’t want to skip the first 15 minutes! I’m about creating videos which are personal to me which others can enjoy too. I’m sorry it wasn’t for you, I guess I can’t please everyone, unfortunately. Thanks for watching though 👍
Great comparison but why did you overlay that crap music over the older bike ride? Ruined the video mate.
Thanks! You win some you lose some! 🤷♂️
Got the same old 675 only difference I have the 3 into 1 low slung Arrows exhaust sounds fantastic, I like the new 765 but prefer the looks of my older 2009 bike.
Nice. We have made a few alterations to this bike which I’ve filmed, I just need to make time to edit the video. My next video will be about the new 765 RS 😁
