I have the RS Moto 2 and it is AMAZING. This bike is almost TOO perfect! 😊 After my first test ride, I finished up the ride, walked into the dealership and said: it is impossible to ride this bike and not purchase it on the spot. And that is exactly what I did. No regrets. Not a single twinge if buyers remorse. This bike is the perfect example of something (someone) that does exactly what it is made to do. Perfectly. 👍❤️
Only discovered your channel by chance, that's 3 great videos of the Street Triple RS you have done, so much so that I picked my Cosmic Yellow RS up today and I have never smiled as much on a bike since driving home from the test centre when I passed my test, keep up the good work...
I've had mine for nearly a month now and its been the most fun bike I've owned so far. Everything about it feels premium. The brakes are amazing, the handling is brilliant, the tires are sticky and the cosmic yellow is absolutely stunning. My only con is the dash. It could be so much better.
@@EJK1965 For me, it's that the info is kind of hard to see. The temp, time, odometer, all very difficult to find on the screen at a glance. Also, there are 5(?) different views you can change to and 4 of the 5 look almost exactly the same. It's a bit hard to distinguish between them.
@@RynoDinero I replied earlier, but was replying to another question from a different video, lol. So let me start over. Yes! I still absolutely love the Street Triple. I've put in nearly 4k miles these last 5 months, mostly canyons. This bike is an absolute dream. The suspension, brakes and engine are just wonderful. I still don't love the dash. You just can't see some important info easily. The OEM tires were very sticky and confident inspiring, however, they were completely worn out by 3k miles. I didn't get a chance to do a track day this year, but looking forward to next summer!
@@MotoEnLoCo sweet! I’m tossing the idea around of trading my ‘20 r6 in for the new yellow street triple rs. My local dealer just got one. I test rode the older model and was blown away. Just can’t make my mind up if I wanna switch from a reliable Yamaha to a triumph !
@@RynoDinero if it makes you feel any better, I haven't had any mechanical or electrical issues on mine. That said, I have read in Facebook groups about some bikes that needed warranty repairs. The good thing is warranty is for 2 years. At least in the United States.
@@cosmic_gate476so agree! The best bike to start off is the new cb750 hornet. It has the dimensions of the 500 and the power of the 750 and it is light. Another starting one would be the z650
@@christianaxtiana3297 I got a CB300R as my first a month ago. The hornet 750 is more of a second bike imo, but any bike is a starter bike if you're mature enough I guess. I'd like to upgrade to something with 80-100 hp next.
Hi Kate. Just here to say that, partially because of your enthusiasm, I’m swapping my MT09SP for a red RS. In all honesty I wanted a Triumph when I bought the SP and the reason was that the Yamaha had a comfier pillion seat for the missus. It ended up that she hasn’t come for a ride with me once since I’ve owned it! So, there’s nothing to hold me back now, especially since the Trumpet is nicer and better than ever.
Sold my 2020 XSR900 SP because the frame and suspension could not handle the power. Headshaking out of corners is disconcerting even with the suspension dialled in. The Rs is like chalk and cheese. On ya Triumph.
Have you got your Street Triple yet? What are your thoughts on the main differences with the MT09SP? I am thinking in going the same road as you ....! Cheers
@@patrickrosello9583 just seen this. Sorry for the late reply. The difference mostly is how they make their power. If they were cars, the Yamaha would be an American muscle car whilst the Triumph would be an exotic European sports car. What would you choose? Depends on what excites you most. At first I thought the Triumph was slow compared to the Yamaha, I’d be in sixth gear thinking that I’m in 3rd! I am not alone in saying this but also my friend who bought an RS like mine. It makes its power differently. However, when I went out with my quick buddies I instantly was breathing down their necks when usually I’m at the back of the group chasing as best I can. The Triumph is so much easier to ride quick. It’s also nicer in town. It’s finer. The Yamaha though is no lesser bike. It has a bigger engine and it feels like it. Very playful and sounds great. If I had the money and space I’d have kept them both. But if I’m honest, I prefer the Triumph.
@@stephenspiteri_zunkus From owning both. I’m with you on that. 765 is so smooth, every day enjoyable. But, the mt 09 is rawer and edgier, and boy I love that cp3 engine. One day I want one, the next the other dependant on my mood. Now I ride a 765, but miss the mt, and the XSR Gp looks amazing…
The combination of that bike’s eye-popping color with the incredible scenery and brilliant skies make this video an absolute treat, especially when coupled with that great intake soundtrack. Wonderful video. Triumph Marketing could easily use any of a number of visual segments to perfectly showcase the beauty of riding that bike through the countryside.
Agree with your likes and loves. The only thing I would verbalize is my soul’s instant connection with the bike and how it makes me internally and emotionally scream with delight Spot on! Thank you
I took a test ride on one and put a deposit down immediately on getting back cant wait for 2024. I live in Yorkshire so great roads are on the doorstep
You had a beautiful day and ride for your final thoughts Kate. Some how we knew that you liked the yellow Triumph. Take care and have a good weekend too.
Absolutely brilliant, good fun! I've got my RS, and wouldn't trade it for anything. Fast and agile, with a forward leaning rider body position that is the perfect balance of being forward on the controls, whilst not putting any undue pressure on your hands and wrists. Here's my only negative. There is a body paint matched fly screen that sits above the headlights and slightly surrounds the TFT Display. This used to be standard equipment, now it's an optional extra. Kate, keep doing what you do 😁👍‼️
Sounds so nice, what a sweet tone it has, I would never change the exhaust. and it looks beautiful. love both the red and the yellow. it would be the perfect bike if it had some wind protection. I don't know why motorcycle manufactures don't realize that people are buying naked bikes for the comfortable ergonomics with close to sport bike performance. they are not buying them because they love the wind hammering them at anything over 60mph. What people really want are sport bikes without the back breaking ergonomics. not track bikes that you can only stand being on for a half an hour of riding. in my opinion the 765 would be so much better with at least an upper fairing. companies should take a lesson from the Ducati Supersport which is an amazing bike.
Awesome review! Test rode one of these a few weeks ago and absolutely amazing. Those roads though 😍I need to make my way over to the UK and get some riding in out there! Thank you!

The Trough of Bowland: Slaidburn, Bentham etc feature heavily in motorcycle books written by the late Jim Fogg in the 80s and 90s, occasionally appearing in Back Street Heroes. Well worth a read if you want to know what it was like riding bikes back then.
I feel extremely privileged to own a 1200gs and a Striple rs, I’m with you on the handling, sweet engine with an unexpected amount of torque, still don’t care for the dash having tried every possible dash mode and although the tyres give an insane amount of grip (in the dry) they’re more suited to track days than typical UK weather days, I’m sure road 6’s would be more suitable for every day riding. Love everything else about it, been out round Snowdonia today with perfect weather, fantastic.
@@cosmic_gate476 Hi, personally I think the Trident would be way more suitable, the best way forward is to go up in stages that you’ll feel comfortable and of course safe. Whatever you decide enjoy your riding.
@@cosmic_gate476I've just got my street triple today. My previous bike was a CB500F, and I hadn't ridden in about two years. I was a bit worried when I heard the engine roar on start up, buy honestly no issues at all so long as you stay mentally in control
Looks alone sold this one for me 👌😎😎😎. You really do pick the best routes Kate absolutely beautiful the Forest of Bowland 💕....think for the price this is very hard to beat. Excellent video 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice to see a review on the 765RS. i just sold a RS660 and some other bits and fancied trying one of these. Test rode one yesterday and was genuinely impressed with it. The 890 Duke R was also in the running specially with the discounting, but even then for styling and looks alone i am still drawn to a red 765RS. Thanks for the review and lookout Triumph Chester - incoming.
@@UsernameKate i just had both the red and yellow side by side at Triumph Chester, under the flouro lighting the red popped and looked simply stunning. However outside the Yellow had almost a pearl like quality about it and the Red went quite dark. So plumped for the Yellow - only to find out the Yellow in stock was sold just earlier. Typical. First world problem huh
Had a 675R, Daytona 675 and 765RS in the past and the new yellow 765RS does make me go “squeee”! The only thing I found with the 765RS I had was it was almost too refined and track focused, I didn’t gel with it as a road bike. A bit strange because I expected to fall in love with it because I couldn’t fault a thing - but didn’t.
They’ve improved on the previous RS. Depends which one you had? The 17-19 was actually pretty weak as a road bike. 20-22 was better with some improved mid range torque but 23 is now more lively. Mainly due to jacking the rear up and changing the gearing. It’s much more engaging than the previous gens on the road.
@@returnedtotheearth1326 Yeah mine was a 2018. Sadly I can’t deal with the weight on the wrists any longer, otherwise the new yellow would be sitting in my garage today.
@@YarekBalear Yeah that’s fair enough. I have had the yellow now for 10 weeks. It’s my 3rd Street Triple. My last one was also an 18 but the R as it had more mid range than the RS at the time. I looked at the last gen RS and had a test ride in 21 and although the bike was better I hated all the new colours and graphics so moved to something else. Went to have a look at the new one at the dealer just out of curiosity and an hour later I’d bought a yellow one 😂
Used to be my backyard, used to live in Chipping, perfect bike for those bumpy back roads of the lovely Forest of Bowland. The scenic pass was the Trough of Bowland👍 Live in rural Northumberland now, my Multi V2S loves a bumpy back road🤣 PS. I’d love one in the garage.
It's a great colour for a motorcycle, with no real need to wear eyecatching clothing. I bought my bike second hand, albeit barely used, but silver is possibly only slightly better than grey for being all but invisible to other road users. De-baffled, which helps only a little.
Well I am eating my words here, I said on the last video the single reason I won't buy this bike was the abomination of the TFT dispaly. Picked up my Trident from its 1st service and someone backed out of a Moto2,( no. 333/765 to boot) was an instant buy, such a gorgeous bike, guess I will have to live with that TFT dispaly or hope that Triumph maybe adds a conventional rev counter via update.
@@daveo9844 I would have too on a normal RS but the opportunity to own a Moto2 was just too tempting, especially since its no. 333 ... lol, will be a great addition to my channel.
Great review. Having seen one at the dealership when I was having my Trident serviced, I am tempted! Just got to get the missus 'on side' though! Regarding the backside ache after a few hours, I get that with the Trident as well. I think that this is a general issue with many bike seats. A solution that works for me is to wear gel-pad cycling shorts under the jeans or leathers.
Love the St.Triple line-up, however the Yamaha xsr 900 is a good option, slightly cheaper and probably better for travelling as it's designed to fit panniers and comes with cruise control
My neck of the woods, being from Preston... Nice aint it?. Great objective review Kate.. Was already interested, this review has sealed the deal It can go alongside my Z900RS.. Are you local to the area, and do i detect a little Manchester twang in your voice? More of this please, its really good .👍
Thanks Kate. What a gorgeous route and interesting road, although I bet it's tricky during those colder and wetter times. "This bike feels like cheating", I know what you mean haha. Keep up the great work and stay safe. :>)
Thanks Kate, I think Triumph have really nailed it with that bike especially at that price, good review, oh and by the way those cows were bulls, glad you didn't try milking them lol.
I have a 2020 R version Black & Red which i think is the dog's bollocks of a colour the handling and engine is brilliant i absolutely love it getting around the twisties, i would bin that stock exhaust
Hah I have that same worry @1:45 of a biker or car coming enthusiastically round the corner. It's ok though as hopefully that keeps us safe and alive to ride another day right and have fun again where we can see all the way.
I love the 2023 RS, I've had mine since March (in cosmic yellow) it's my 3rd consecutive street triple 765 and Triumph have definitely raised the bar with this model, my only complaint is the TFT which IMO is really poor and like a fisher price toy, the more basic one on the R and also the Tiger 660 and Trident is better, basic but does everything required but the TFT is a minor blip when taken against the bike as a whole which is superb.
I demo'd an R and when looking at a 2nd hand one against new this was the biggest turn off. With only 3=6 months warranty and only 2 year on new ones. I enjoyed the ride, wasn't a fan of the kickstand (small thing) and have ended up buying a 2nd hand s1000rr albeit for more money but with 2 years bmw warranty I feel I made the right choice. Good video though, very good round up. Just a shame the it didn't set me alight. obvs the s1000rr does :)
I own one in the same color and i'm very happy with it BUT if I had to nitpick I would say 1) The dash is too difficult to read with the text and tach being too small. The previous gen RS models had a easier to read layout IMO. 2) It's not as comfortable as my previous Street Triple (2016) but I think it's mostly due to the taller seat and more aggressive riding triangle (more pressure on my arms). 3) Smaller plastic gas tank which means reduced range and I cant use my favorite magnetic tank bag. 4) Triumph removed the nub on the kickstand that made it easier to deploy, just why?
I've got the striple r 675 2012 and I don't know if it's worth me going up to the 765 because the 675 is more than enough for me at the moment. I think if I did sell her I would go to the 1050 speed. Great video I love watching the channel ❤
@@UsernameKate I've been told to wait for few more days, the new Bajaj - triumph 400cc bike ordeal has delayed the deliveries of the street triples. It's been on hold for the last couple of months. I've been waiting for mine since march
Love this vlog Kate looking forward to seeing it later on love seeing you on a sportsbike wearing your leathers and swanky helmet and dark visor ride safe 😅
Owned a Hayabusa for 5 years after several Japan bikes but sold it and bought a Triumph Street Triple R instead. Much better riding position and great power and easy to ride. Yeah, i really like my ever first English bike ... TRIUMPH. Thanks Great Britain. 😄❤️👍
Which bike would you choose Kate between the 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS or the 2023 KTM 890 Duke R. Love your channel, you do a brilliant road test and review.
Hello Kate, nice review... I have one small question - is it yours street triple making some kind of buzzing rattle sound (like something loose) I bought a model 2023 and had no previous experience with triples before? Thx
Hi Kate. Another great video. The Street Triple is definitely in the top of my list for one of my next bikes. What are your thoughts on pillion accomodations?
The new RS is a great bike, don't get me wrong, plenty of power, great handling. But the mirrors are blurred at motorway speeds (which is where you really need them to look for coppers) and after an hour on the bike my hands were buzzing due to the vibes. No reviewer has mentioned this, which I find odd.
I don't genuinely dont get vibes from this bike (the buzzing in my hands like they're on springs afterwards) and I have with other bikes before like the M1000R after a day's hard riding and my 690 duke. I'd mention it if I felt consciously affected by it but I just don't on the RS. and as for coppers? Many unmarked in my area certainly 🤣
@@UsernameKate That's good to know, thanks. It could be me, or it could be my specific demo bike. Anyway I'm hoping to test the XSR900 in the next couple of days, so we will see if I get the same issue there.
Sorrt for newbie question What's your setup? That a gopro on the helmet? What keeps it in place on the helmet? How you record you voice as well and is that a Bluetooth device on side of helmet?
29 inches. This video might be useful as it shows me sitting on the bike. ruclips.net/video/g_ykxQB2J3Q/видео.html also, it's just time and trying lots of bikes that has lead me to where I'm at with my confidence and having my partner Mike who has faith in me..makes me have faith in myself 😊
Just to put it out there.. I’ve had my full license since I was 24 & been riding since I was 16yrs old & I have NEVER had to claim on any insurance policy at all, and Bikesure is the most expensive company. I don’t understand. And my 2 Bikes are Always Garaged & alarmed with day/night vision cctv
your fear is right ! today in a newspaper excact what you talking about (Ruhrtalbrücke / A52 Bridge over Ruhr) small street and alot traffic and only the aeroplane pilots for DUS have radar we havn't !!! why are motorbikes so expensive by less wight on each surface also smaller parking-lots are for need ...and so on "it stops so well..." , sorry kate we do not have any further data's like temperature about the breaking fluid (operation range in F°/ °C ) i disslike tuning parts which take slow the cooling of the liquid in summertime downhill for an hour breaks a boiling , i'am sure you know it !!!
Hey hey, im buying a bike in a couple months. Hopefully get the street triple RS. Im from Australia. But i was just wondering of you had a motovlog setup video, or if you could do a complete setup vid
If I were a fellow of smaller stature. I’d love to own one of these bikes. Unfortunately, it’s just not a good fit for me. I even rode the trident, and still felt like I was on a mini bike.
I have the RS Moto 2 and it is AMAZING. This bike is almost TOO perfect! 😊 After my first test ride, I finished up the ride, walked into the dealership and said: it is impossible to ride this bike and not purchase it on the spot. And that is exactly what I did. No regrets. Not a single twinge if buyers remorse. This bike is the perfect example of something (someone) that does exactly what it is made to do. Perfectly. 👍❤️
wait until you try MV Agusta Brutale 800RR :)
you'll redefine the exact words you're saying about Triumph, haha.

765 Moto 2 limited, numbered versions for a test ride? I doubt it.

They’ve improved on the previous RS. Depends which one you had? The 17-19 was actually pretty weak as a road bike. 20-22 was better with some improved mid range torque but 23 is now more lively. Mainly due to jacking the rear up and changing the gearing. It’s much more engaging than the previous gens on the road.
@@returnedtotheearth1326 Yeah mine was a 2018. Sadly I can’t deal with the weight on the wrists any longer, otherwise the new yellow would be sitting in my garage today.
@@YarekBalear Yeah that’s fair enough. I have had the yellow now for 10 weeks. It’s my 3rd Street Triple. My last one was also an 18 but the R as it had more mid range than the RS at the time. I looked at the last gen RS and had a test ride in 21 and although the bike was better I hated all the new colours and graphics so moved to something else. Went to have a look at the new one at the dealer just out of curiosity and an hour later I’d bought a yellow one 😂
The scenery in the Handling chapter on your video is spectacular
Gorgeous isn't it! That's why I had to pull up and show you guys where I was on the map!
Used to be my backyard, used to live in Chipping, perfect bike for those bumpy back roads of the lovely Forest of Bowland. The scenic pass was the Trough of Bowland👍
Live in rural Northumberland now, my Multi V2S loves a bumpy back road🤣
PS. I’d love one in the garage.
It's a great colour for a motorcycle, with no real need to wear eyecatching clothing. I bought my bike second hand, albeit barely used, but silver is possibly only slightly better than grey for being all but invisible to other road users. De-baffled, which helps only a little.
After 2 hours .. oooh! Cows! - brilliant. Enjoy your videos, awaiting my rs presentky and its scratching an itch!
@ 8:23 that road is known locally as Trough of Bowland 😁, lovely area for riding 👌🏼
Great vlog Kate , if only I was younger I’d get one , plus the correct country saying for what that cow did is Splat 😂😂👍👍😂
Great video. Really wish I could afford one. It looks and sounds soooo good. Perhaps one day. 🙂
Ride safe and ride smart.
Great ride review Kate. Triumph do build high quality bikes and the RS in yellow is beautiful 😍
Well I am eating my words here, I said on the last video the single reason I won't buy this bike was the abomination of the TFT dispaly. Picked up my Trident from its 1st service and someone backed out of a Moto2,( no. 333/765 to boot) was an instant buy, such a gorgeous bike, guess I will have to live with that TFT dispaly or hope that Triumph maybe adds a conventional rev counter via update.
I’m holding strong until that TFT is improved 🤢
@@daveo9844 I would have too on a normal RS but the opportunity to own a Moto2 was just too tempting, especially since its no. 333 ... lol, will be a great addition to my channel.
Looks so good in that colour
It really does!!
Great review. Having seen one at the dealership when I was having my Trident serviced, I am tempted! Just got to get the missus 'on side' though! Regarding the backside ache after a few hours, I get that with the Trident as well. I think that this is a general issue with many bike seats. A solution that works for me is to wear gel-pad cycling shorts under the jeans or leathers.
Stunning bike and looks great in that orange colour for the price hard to beat!!! Keep up the great vids Kate👍
Love the St.Triple line-up, however the Yamaha xsr 900 is a good option, slightly cheaper and probably better for travelling as it's designed to fit panniers and comes with cruise control
My neck of the woods, being from Preston...
Nice aint it?.
Great objective review Kate..
Was already interested, this review has sealed the deal
It can go alongside my Z900RS..
Are you local to the area, and do i detect a little Manchester twang in your voice?
More of this please, its really good .👍
I like your vids, and enjoy seeing you riding roads I’m familiar with.
Great bike in a great colour.
BTW, those were bulls and bullocks, now cows 👍
Same clutch cable problem (obstructing the dash) for the 2020-2022 models. Good to see they fixed it in the 2023/24 MY.
I can't believe it took them that long! 🤣
Trough of Bowland. I ride up there regularly. 👍👍
The cows are like 'I like your bike lady, MOOOOO'
Fantastic video Kate, amazing roads and scenery.
Your accent is adorable. Nice bike too, but I'm a Bonneville kind of guy.
Great video as always.
Not really my style if bike, but it is growing on me
Nice review, nice ride and I’m thrilled the cow gave a shit about your review… is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Thanks Kate. What a gorgeous route and interesting road, although I bet it's tricky during those colder and wetter times. "This bike feels like cheating", I know what you mean haha. Keep up the great work and stay safe. :>)
A little adjustment, in your shift lever, will cure the neutral/second glitch. It happens to me when I change boots, and dont have time to adj lever.
Thanks Kate, I think Triumph have really nailed it with that bike especially at that price, good review, oh and by the way those cows were bulls, glad you didn't try milking them lol.
I have a 2020 R version Black & Red which i think is the dog's bollocks of a colour the handling and engine is brilliant i absolutely love it getting around the twisties, i would bin that stock exhaust
Hah I have that same worry @1:45 of a biker or car coming enthusiastically round the corner.
It's ok though as hopefully that keeps us safe and alive to ride another day right and have fun again where we can see all the way.
That's a great bike, Kate! Safe riding!
I owned the original street triple r 2009, as with the 675 a great bike but i found that you can never just relax on it.
I love the 2023 RS, I've had mine since March (in cosmic yellow) it's my 3rd consecutive street triple 765 and Triumph have definitely raised the bar with this model, my only complaint is the TFT which IMO is really poor and like a fisher price toy, the more basic one on the R and also the Tiger 660 and Trident is better, basic but does everything required but the TFT is a minor blip when taken against the bike as a whole which is superb.
I demo'd an R and when looking at a 2nd hand one against new this was the biggest turn off. With only 3=6 months warranty and only 2 year on new ones. I enjoyed the ride, wasn't a fan of the kickstand (small thing) and have ended up buying a 2nd hand s1000rr albeit for more money but with 2 years bmw warranty I feel I made the right choice. Good video though, very good round up. Just a shame the it didn't set me alight. obvs the s1000rr does :)
Whats the MPG for the bmw ?
Just put a deposit down on a red RS!
I own one in the same color and i'm very happy with it BUT if I had to nitpick I would say 1) The dash is too difficult to read with the text and tach being too small. The previous gen RS models had a easier to read layout IMO. 2) It's not as comfortable as my previous Street Triple (2016) but I think it's mostly due to the taller seat and more aggressive riding triangle (more pressure on my arms). 3) Smaller plastic gas tank which means reduced range and I cant use my favorite magnetic tank bag. 4) Triumph removed the nub on the kickstand that made it easier to deploy, just why?
I've got the striple r 675 2012 and I don't know if it's worth me going up to the 765 because the 675 is more than enough for me at the moment. I think if I did sell her I would go to the 1050 speed. Great video I love watching the channel ❤
I freak'n hate when "reviews" don't write which year model it is.. I'm guessing 2023?
Nice work Kate…. again! Cheers.
I love my "Ridiculously Sexy" cosmic yellow too! Keep up the good work, Kate. 👍
Love a ride over the trough ,, lovely rds , great bike
Can't wait to take delivery of mine.
When do you take delivery?! Soon?!
@@UsernameKate I've been told to wait for few more days, the new Bajaj - triumph 400cc bike ordeal has delayed the deliveries of the street triples. It's been on hold for the last couple of months.
I've been waiting for mine since march
Love this vlog Kate looking forward to seeing it later on love seeing you on a sportsbike wearing your leathers and swanky helmet and dark visor ride safe 😅
Owned a Hayabusa for 5 years after several Japan bikes but sold it and bought a Triumph Street Triple R instead. Much better riding position and great power and easy to ride. Yeah, i really like my ever first English bike ... TRIUMPH. Thanks Great Britain. 😄❤️👍
Still like it? Also coming from jap bikes
Didn’t realize places like this existed in the Uk 🇬🇧 beautiful
Yeah we do have some pretty places!!
Nice up Bowland, used to be from around that area when was very young. Lovely part of the world. RS looks swish.
Great review and nice riding 👌🏽
Have a nice ride. The beauty and the beast 😅👌
Wait, are you saying the bike isn't a beauty, or the rider isn't?
More RPM (like more happy zone 😊), more braking power (brembo stylema) and better suited to the track day (moto2) 💛💛💛 and Cosmic Yellow is awesome 🤗
Which bike would you choose Kate between the 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS or the 2023 KTM 890 Duke R.
Love your channel, you do a brilliant road test and review.
Great video. Well done
Hello Kate, nice review... I have one small question - is it yours street triple making some kind of buzzing rattle sound (like something loose) I bought a model 2023 and had no previous experience with triples before? Thx
Hi Kate. Another great video. The Street Triple is definitely in the top of my list for one of my next bikes.
What are your thoughts on pillion accomodations?
Great bike if you don’t do track days! Is it worth just getting the R over this? Your thoughts?
My next bike! Thank you!
Great review and beautiful scenery. What part of England was this?
The new RS is a great bike, don't get me wrong, plenty of power, great handling. But the mirrors are blurred at motorway speeds (which is where you really need them to look for coppers) and after an hour on the bike my hands were buzzing due to the vibes. No reviewer has mentioned this, which I find odd.
I don't genuinely dont get vibes from this bike (the buzzing in my hands like they're on springs afterwards) and I have with other bikes before like the M1000R after a day's hard riding and my 690 duke. I'd mention it if I felt consciously affected by it but I just don't on the RS. and as for coppers? Many unmarked in my area certainly 🤣
@@UsernameKate That's good to know, thanks. It could be me, or it could be my specific demo bike. Anyway I'm hoping to test the XSR900 in the next couple of days, so we will see if I get the same issue there.
Nice one Kate.
Sorrt for newbie question
What's your setup?
That a gopro on the helmet? What keeps it in place on the helmet? How you record you voice as well and is that a Bluetooth device on side of helmet?
Own a triple R but the RS and moto versions are making me want to trade it in! hahah. Love the yellow. What kind of jacket are you wearing?
Hi Kate , what’s your inside leg measurement ? This is a tall bike. I’m 29.5” . How did you become confident on taller bikes at low speed control?
29 inches. This video might be useful as it shows me sitting on the bike. ruclips.net/video/g_ykxQB2J3Q/видео.html also, it's just time and trying lots of bikes that has lead me to where I'm at with my confidence and having my partner Mike who has faith in me..makes me have faith in myself 😊
Just to put it out there.. I’ve had my full license since I was 24 & been riding since I was 16yrs old & I have NEVER had to claim on any insurance policy at all, and Bikesure is the most expensive company. I don’t understand.
And my 2 Bikes are Always Garaged & alarmed with day/night vision cctv
your fear is right ! today in a newspaper excact what you talking about (Ruhrtalbrücke / A52 Bridge over Ruhr) small street and alot traffic and only the aeroplane pilots for DUS have radar we havn't !!!
why are motorbikes so expensive by less wight on each surface also smaller parking-lots are for need ...and so on
"it stops so well..." , sorry kate we do not have any further data's like temperature about the breaking fluid (operation range in F°/ °C ) i disslike tuning parts which take slow the cooling of the liquid in summertime downhill for an hour breaks a boiling , i'am sure you know it !!!
How was the suspension on those poor back roads?
Lovely bike ,those mountain roads ,it could be mid Wales 😊
Hey hey, im buying a bike in a couple months. Hopefully get the street triple RS. Im from Australia. But i was just wondering of you had a motovlog setup video, or if you could do a complete setup vid
I don't but i'm hoping to do one 😊
Enjoyed that, nice road too, just one thing, your lovely cows were ...er...boys! Young bullock's by look of 'em 😊😉
Explains their attitude 🤭🤭🤭 jksss
I think you will find that the cute cows were, in fact Bulls😅. Oh yeah, nice bike.
Just got mine yesterday. Carnival red, first ride earlier today......oh my god!
Still like it?
@@RynoDinero Love it, great bike!
@@davewilling9047 no reliability issues?
**it's taking a nice sh** while giving me really awkward eye contact** 17:30 hahhahahhahaaa I laughed so hard!
If defo didn't need to look at me like that 🤣
You look best on the BMW S1000 (?) in the intro. Suits you madame!
If I were a fellow of smaller stature. I’d love to own one of these bikes. Unfortunately, it’s just not a good fit for me. I even rode the trident, and still felt like I was on a mini bike.
