Awesome review...... Just a quick negative/+Ve points summary from my ownership of the bike for 1 year....now... Negative Points: 1. Gas tank could have been little bigger (when you ride long time it sucks to refill often, trust me you won't even realize how long you have gone on ST: Personal Experience) 2. Some improvements on Suspensions & brakes would be nice (Rear brakes sucks but hey..who uses that...?) 3. Official Backrest for passenger (No official accessories available yet: you don't wanna make your passenger fall off especially with this crazy torque...that ST has although clutch assist might save you but no guarantee) 4. Official & stylish windscreen. (their wind screen doesn't look that promising: might go after market later on once I am tired of wind hitting me on chest/face) These are the points they could have done little better....buy hey... no bike is perfect and I have no issues with it whatsoever. Positive points hoooraayyyy: 1. Exhaust Sound (First and Main reason why I own this Bike right now Damn too good: Just don't want to stop my bike once I start it) 2. Torque (Sickest Torque ever I felt on bike.... slightly less than Commuter Train. LOL not kidding, this thing flies man....) 3. Handling (Jesus, even 14 year old can handle this baby....so smooth, nimble and fun ride. Its like a Toy...trust me) 4. Fuel Efficiency (I do pretty good in California. 56-63 MPG. By the way i dont ride like a shit...just enjoy the nice rumbling throaty sound and have fun....) 5. Looks (well, no doubt about it. Perfect balance of Modern yet classic heritage) i thinks that's all i wanna say! good luck if anyone interested in getting this bad boy home! 100% recommended.
Many thanks for all that info. The only issue with doing a review when you only have a bike a day is that you aren't able to give a view of what it's like long term. So all your info above will really help people, thank you!
wondering how this bike will do at highway speeds? im wondering if it can sustain 90 mph without worry. and lets say u are at 90 is there enough power left to overtake from that speed? a roll on from 90 to 105 or so? ty
Great review! last triumph i rode was a tr6p [ ex police] that put me off Triumph bikes , but after listening to your review i my vist my local triumph dealer cheers RW.
Thanks, and yes definitely do go and check out a modern Triumph. At the moment I think they're probably my favourite manufacturer as they have a bike for everyone, and I've been really impressed with style, quality, and the ride of all I've tried.
Cheers for the feedback. Can't repost into the same video unfortunately and getting audio is tricky and my biggest problem with these videos at the moment!
Fuel not registering immediately - I think you'll find this applies to several Triumph models. My 2018 street twin and my street triple only register the fuel level after a few hundred yards.
Thanks David, that's interesting. I just found it a bit disconcerting at the time! Once you know then it's fine and not a real issue, but I'm just not sure why it would do this anyway.
Awesome review......

Richard Eaton that's so true. Appreciate it.

@@christianbrunolund7927 I think so. There should be plenty left to overtake other vehicles.
Finally your review on the Street Twin is out..enjoyed it and that engine's sound is amazing.
Thanks! And yes, rather than me publishing on all sorts of days and times, from now on there'll be new motorcycle videos every Friday :)
Richard Eaton that's great..at least i know it's going to be every friday..
Richard Eaton btw I've subscribed to your channel.Am I the only subscriber?:)
Haha, thanks! Now approaching 100 subscribers but definitely need to get this number up :)
Richard Eaton that's great mate..keep it up..don't give up..
Nice review Richard!
Cheers :)
Enjoyed the review...but pull that music back a bit please.
I'm not happy with audio of these vids at the moment but trying to improve as we go!
Very nice review, looks like a fantastic bike!

I have that same bike. Same color. Love it!
Lucky you, I really liked the Street Twin! Hopefully you have the Vance and Hines exhaust too?
@@RichRides I have the stock exhaust but it sounds great.
I think you'd REALLY like it with the V&H pipes Larry Norsworthy ;)
Lovely review! ....but...the music! Yak! Lovely bike, that's for sure. :-)
Another Triumph review coming shortly... With no music ;)
Could've been great, spoiled by the "on hold" Muzak. Please post again with no music if you can. Lovely bike though.

Nice review! How tall are you?
Thanks. I'm 6ft tall but the seat was nice and low so would certainly suit smaller riders too.
Bro,is there any bike in triumph that's exhaust sounds creates a F1 car sound !!#
