As a man in his sixties and the owner of 31 bikes over the years three bikes stood out for me as personal favourites, the 1980 Yamaha 350LC, the first R1 (1998) and the 2014 GSX-R750 but since getting my Street Triple RS six weeks it's my new number one, that IMO is how good it is, it has raised the bar for middleweight nakeds.
You had all the great bikes, nice... I never realized how popular the Triple is. The new one gets praise from expert track riders along with the average biker. While the Triple does well on the track from all the reviews, its the road performance I am most interested. I real don't care how good it tracks, I want to know how well it does on the road, and from all the comments and from the average reviewers... its a winner.
@@gryphongryph I've a friend roughly the same height (6'3") and he reckons it's one of the most comfortable bikes he's owned, my problem was being just 5'6" (1.68cm) I was worried that I might not be able to touch the ground especially as this years RS is 836mm seat height but it's so light and well balanced that even tip toeing it feels fine.
New sub here, love the no BS "average Joe" perspective you present to the audience. This bike is on my radar and your videos on it are very much solidifying my decision. Thanks for the content and ride safe brother!
Hey man, thanks so much. Ha... I'm not very polished, but it sure is fun doing these videos. I think triple is a mix of a sport bike and a naked bike. Your back stays happy for the most part, but it can holds its own when you hit the curves and even the straights.
Awesome! Love the 24s. I have a ‘22 RS. The only thing I wish it had was cruise control. I’m 47 and have had many bikes, street and road. This is my favorite one. The street triple is the best middleweight naked. And perhaps one of the best all around naked bikes. It’s great for general use motorcycling, loves curvy roads, it’s smooth and refined, the quick shifter is awesome. And it’s also great for track days. I do some light touring on mine. I can ride it all day no problem. But it’s obviously not an ADV or bagger. For a guy like me that does a few hundred miles of backroad riding every week as a hobby it’s as good as it gets.
We are up to almost 400 miles, everything good so far. I will be adding the cruise control very soon, one you experience cruise control on a bike you don't want one without it.
Brilliant review brah , I didn’t even test my Speed Triple when I bought it . I just loved the way it sounded on RUclips so I went to the dealership sat on it and said “ yup I’ll buy it “ 😂 I came back a week later and bought it and for the first few days I loved the bike but after a year I kinda realised that 180 hp is just too much , I don’t have the skills to actually use it , I use about 6000 rpm and that’s it So now I’m seriously considering getting the Street Triple 😂🤘🏾
I kind of feel the same way... but there is the rush you get from all that power. I may not use it much, but it sure is fun. My skill level for high powered bikes are not what they should be, but I do love the adrenaline rush. The Street Triple is fast, and the gearing does make it feel quick, but its more controllable than the super naked bikes in my opinion.
I’d say this is a really nice color and high visible for those blind puppy eyes cagers🤣🤣🤣🤣 It sure looks great there Ken!! Maybe if you put the second receiver in the rear of the bike we would get some awesome sound even with the stick exhaust😉 I know I would hehe. It’s a quality bike for sure. Thanks again for sharing this Ken now gotta go sell the Road King and buy me one🤣🤣
@@Yo-Ken sweet can’t wait. Yeah loudness starts bothering me as well even here and there so I’ll keep it as is maybe couple other more cosmetic stuff down the road…
G'Day Ken. Glad you are really into the Trumpy 765RSbrother. I'm sure it wil most definitly scratch that "hooligan" itch for a while to come. Going to love to hear the sound when the exhaust is done mate. Speaking of new bikes brother,I had to make the dreaded decision about whether or not to keep the fjr1300. After a couple of scary "Oh sh*t!!" moments of late, I had no real choice but to let the girl go. My medical situation has finally dictated that I get something lighter and smaller which will allow me to keep on riding even though the distances travelled are somewhat reduced. "Say hello to my little friend" as Al Pacino once said. Goodbye fjr1300, hello Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor. No laughing please!! LOL. Great bike, old style, 154.5 lbs lighter than the fjr and i didn't have to use a single penny of my own money to buy it!! In fact, the will pay ME to have it. Great trade in price which also allowed me to accessorize the bike to the max, including an aftermarket full exhaust system. Sounds so deep and throaty compared to the stock system. Hell, I even get to put a few grand into the bank as a bonus! The money into the bank was the reason my beloved wife didn't hit me around the ears with a rolling pin when I told her about it. 🤕🤣 Getting the "Baker Express" colour code, so I have to wait a couple of weeks for it to get to the dealer,. So there you have it brother, I'm finally broken enough to warrant going from the "big boys bikes", to the more sedate, but still fun "half pint" bike. Life goes on. Had to laugh when you started speaking in the 3rd person context, but hey, your bloody lucky mate. Nine of the ten voices in MY head tell me I'm a nutjob, whereas the last one just f**king hums!! Go figure!😜🤣🤣. Anyway brother,enjoy the hell out of your new Trumpy and I appreciate the ride and the conversation as usual. Ride fast, ride safe.
Hey man, its a tough choice, but you still get to ride. The Interceptor is a cool bike... a classic English ride. I like it and the price right. When I get tired of being a hooligan, I see myself on a Classic English bike. I do like the T120.
I love that! I am 52 and I feel it is time I ditch the touring bike and get bit of sport naked 765 RS.... Having said, I have been thinking of the 890 R but no demo around my area....
I just tried to install my Leo Vince yesterday on my 2024 (with 2021 headers) and i found a couple things. 1, the stock radiator bracket hits the 2021 headers, so i just drilled a hold above the one thats already there on the radiator mount and it worked flawlessly. Also, they do not include a specific exhaust hanger on the 2024s so the exhaust NEEDS to bolt to the rear sets. Leo's do not work because of this, But i think the Yoshi bolts to the rear set so you should be all good there! The headers are super easy to install!
Thanks, I did a lot of research on the install of the 2021 header... I knew what I was in for. That's the reason I choose the Yoshimura, I new that part would bolt right up. I figured it would be a easy install, everything looks very accessible.
It does serve a good function... not sure if anyone that had added a tail tidey looked at the bottom of the tail lens. It gets beat up pretty bad. Still I think the stock tail is hideous:)
That makes sense, not sure if I will added them. I do want to add cruise control... I read somewhere I have to have the dealer enable it. I do all my own service and upgrades. When I have them enable the cruise control, I will have them disable the TPMS.
@@Yo-Ken that’s my understanding re cruise control too, as well as heated grips I believe if you want to control via the triumph dash. Perhaps get both at same time so you only have to make one dealer trip?
@Aaron Yeah, that would be the smart thing to do. I'm not a fan of dealers... not a good experience with where I bought the Triple. I'll have to try the dealer that's farther away.
@@MrBinkz Spoke to Triumph. The cruise control needs to be downloaded at the dealership, as part of the install. The heated grips can be just installed without it needing the dealer.
Thanks, the low to mid range torque is excellent. Most of the torque comes in low and they way it is geared, it feels very strong, you won't be disappointed. If you turn the traction control off, it will power wheelie with ease.
Yeah, I never thought I would by a yellow bike, but here I am with a yellow bike... lol. Yeah sure why not, I don't like to do how to videos, the just never come out well, but you ask, so I will do it. I just added a Yoshimura exhaust and tried to do the install video, but it did not come out so well, maybe I can piece something together. It was super simple, took about 40 minutes. You have to replace the complete system because the muffler is welded on. I found a brand new 2021 header on ebay... worked out good.
@Yo Ken yeah I'm so stoked to get my bike and I really wanted the 765 r (for the price) but that yellow is growing so fast on me,ill still probably get the R though, that sucks about the exhaust btw,and I'm more concerned about that service with the price and what they do and that service light being on,I'm guess I just want to see what's involved in getting a new motorcycle before I'm committed,
@@Tommyheady31 The 600 miles services is easy. Oil and filter is all they do. I have a OBD2 scanner, and a app called Tune ECU. You can trouble shoot, clear codes, reset service reminder... and upload custom tunes if you wish. I do have one issue that I might have to bring it make to the dealer, I am getting a TMPS warning, but i don't have tire pressure sensors. Not sure I can fix that with ECU Tune. I should have a video up in a few weeks for my 600 mile service.
Super Simple... there is a push pin on the inside panel, the black part. A small tool like a allen head... a number 2 or 3, just push it in and you can remove the fastener. Gently pull the colored body panel out and slide it towards the front of the bike. You will see the turn signal wiring. When you put it back, put some lube on the rubber grommet, it stops the grommet from pushing out. I have lost so many grommets not paying attention when putting the panels back on. Its just the one rubber grommet that needs very little lube... I use WD40.
There are some weird harmonics between 4200 and 4800 rpm, but it does not bother me. 70mph cruising is fine, you feel some vibes through the bars and the mirrors vibrate above 60 mph, but for me its not am issue. My FZ1 was the same, most any naked type 3 or 4 cylinder you going to feel something. It does not feel revved out at 70 in 6th gear. The real power does not hit until 8000. Between 8000 and 12000 is were the fun starts.
Hi mate. Great video!! Picking up my silver RS next week and can’t wait. Could you let me know what phone case and mount you used for this please 🙏. Thanks
I will post the links. I have a Samsung s22, and use a Rock Form case.I don't use their mount though. The set up I use are ram ball mounts and clamps. The phone holder is for a tripod, but it works well for me. Evey time i changed my phone I had to buy a new case. The mount works with any phone. Its a crazy setup, but I can adjust anyway I like and it fits all my bikes. www.rokform.com/collections/samsung www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072KNBV21/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0989PNG3C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AHCUNG2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.com/Mount-Composite-Double-Socket-1-Inch/dp/B005KWPJ04/ref=sr_1_3?crid=UDXXMZU9U9P5&keywords=ram+mount+Double+Socket+Arm+1+short&qid=1687612386&sprefix=ram+mount+double+socket+arm+1+short%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-3
They apparently did change the exhaust to increase flow, and that may of been in the headers. So changing it to a previous models version **may impact performance.
The header is almost identical. The only real difference is the cross over tube on the 2024 is about 1/8 inch lower than the older header, can't see that doing much. What is different, is the size of the cat and the pipe going into the muffler... its larger by a lot, but it goes into a very restrictive muffler. Not having anyone info from the engineers, and I could be wrong, but I would think the increase in compression ratio, different cam timing and turning has more to do with the power increase over the older model. My experience with the slip on on is an increase in mid range power, but that's just from what it feels like to me from when it was stock.
@@Yo-Ken The lowering of the cross over tube might actually help increase torque, including the bends at further down locations. With the pipe being enlarged into the muffler may help with velocity as there is a decrease of pressure thus creating a better draw in the headers helping with overall flow. Triumph looks like they tried everything to increase torque, as it wasn't the top end letting it down compared to the competition. hence the lowering of the gears also.
*H pipes deliver low-end torque as opposed to the high-end torque from X-pipes. The H shape design creates some backpressure, leading to low-end torque.
Well I think reading to much into this. Look at the specs... peak torque for last year's model is 58lbs 9350. The 2024 is 59lbs at 9500. The cross over tube is a non issue. Gearing and engine improvements are the reason for more over all performance. I'm done with this... we will just have to disagree.
Hey man, did you try 3rd gen mt09? I have mt09 2021 and I am thinking about switching to RS. Weekend rides in the twisties 90% of the time is what I do
I never tested the MT09. Its priced better, but I wanted to give the Triumph a shot. If you like the twistes, the Triumph is a sport bike without clip ons... amazing machine.
Here are the links... tail tidy broguemotorcycles.com/collections/triumph-street-triple-parts/products/triumph-daytona-675-street-triple-765-tail-tidy-kits-fender-eliminator-brogue Turn signals... they are an exact copy of the European version. The US version are a joke... why they do this I don't know. a.co/d/8JRrX8D
Sorry about that, I mention my height and inseam so many times in other videos, I forget that most viewers don't watch all the videos. I'm 5'11" with a 32 inch inseam. I can easily flat foot the Triple.
@@Yo-Ken thanks Ken. I’m a fair bit shorter at 5’7” with 30”ish inseam… thinking about either the RS (and removing the rear spacer to get 10mm drop) or just getting the R. Not sure yet.
@@MrBinkz Am the same and it's fine. If were to change anything I'd suggest changing to the low seat instead first as that won't upset the bike so much if you removed the spacer.
@@reddpill removing the spacer will just give the bike the same geometry as the R, nothing wrong with that. But sounds like I won’t need to anyway. Time will tell I guess. The wait begins….
Thank you sir... I do ride all year here in NC. It does drop into the upper 40's sometimes in the high 30's, but it does not last long. Overall the weather is better for riding than New York and New Jersey where I use to live.
Liking your vids. Just got a ‘24 Striple R myself. What signals did you end up going with? Also I notice you’re in NC. I’m in Raleigh. Hit me up if you’re close and you wanna ride sometime.
Thanks, I got them off of Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R7KTN3J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Exact copies of the European Street Triples... plug and play, easy install. I'm in Selma, about 25 miles from Raleigh. I'm always up for a ride... just let me know when and where.
Can you install yoshimura at2 slip on directly or do you need some mods for it? I checked their website but they didn’t say it supports current year version.
The 2024 Triple is a one piece exhaust. Slip on will not work. Two options... 2021 US model through 2023 stock header will work with the Yohsi. The other option is a complete system.
@@Yo-Kenthat’s too bad, too much a hassle, I’ll stick with the original pipe. BTW, do you wear ear plugs? Can you hear the exhaust sound clearly after db killer on?
Hi Ken! Nice video! I’m a new owner of Street Triple RS silver ice color from Italy, Turin. It’s a great bike, although I still have to learn to ride it (my previous bikes: Ducati Multistrada and Yamaha Tracer 900…so different!). I didn’t understand everything about you video: where is the lake?
Thanks, the learning curve on the Triple is quick... like I said it's an easy bike to ride fast. With the 2 previous bikes you had, you will have no problem adjusting to the Triple. The lake is in North Carolina, it's called Buckhorn Lake.
@patrickrosello9583 Never been on the Tracer, but the Triple is great in the city, it's light and very easy to get around. The only issue is the lock to lock with handlebars, it's tight... but its still easy to maneuver.
@@numbone Thanks man... I did fix it on my end. After the next video coming up the audio is fixed... you will here it from both speakers. It will be my exhaust upgrade video in a week or so. The next video is Bike Night, and some parts are stereo and some are mono.... sorry for the inconvenience.
Handling wise, you won't give anything up. The Triple makes more power and will accelerate better because of the tightly spaced gearing... comfy, but still sporty. The R6 has the better wind protection when tucked in and clip ons for that better track experience. If you like sports bikes, you will feel right at home, but with a more comfy riding position.
@@Yo-Ken yeah I test rode one and really liked it a lot. I live in Florida so the r6 isn’t that practical here and I haven’t done track days in about 2 years now. My only concern is reliability with the triumph as I’ve had a trouble free 10k miles out my r6 and know it will go every time.
When I sat on the Mt10 it was a more straight-up riding position. The pegs were not as far back. Depending on your riding style, I could see the Mt10 more on the comfy side.
Struggling between this Street Triple (in silver ice) and the Yamaha MT-09 SP -- because of the higher torque and the much better MPG (around 50 mpg plus). I used to ride liter bikes. Any suggestions?
Its hard not to like that the MT09. I know the torque numbers seem low on the Triple, but the way its geared you would think it has more torque, If you shut the wheelie control off, it will do power wheelies no problem. I just sold my FZ1, it was tuned and a beast. The only time I felt a difference with the FZ1 to the Triple is when you get past 110mph. I think either one would be great. I went with the Triple because around here there are lots of MT09's and wanted something different. I average around 43mpg.
@@Yo-Ken I was thinking I could just restore the normal sprocket sizes, like the Street Triple had in previous years, to lower rpms a bunch in every gear. That would get me much closer to the mpg I want. It will make the engine last longer too. Anyway, I'm kind of scared though that if I get the MT-09 SP that they will just revise it next year to compete better with the new 765.
@@Yo-Ken Yeah, nearly everyone around me here has a Yamaha as well -- or so it seems. I don't see a lot of newer MT-09s, or even a lot of MT-09s in general, but that's an excellent point! I bought my DLR Cruise Control today so I guess I just need the bike to put it on. It's too bad that the DLR switch may not work, per someone that said theirs didn't in a conversation you had with them on another video of yours. That's really frustrating! I hate that asymmetrical one-eyed monster being lit up all the time like that -- be really nice to find another way to shut it off with that switch.
Great bike, great review. A few thoughts. It’s not a ‘young man’s bike’, it’s a bike. Why harp on age so much? I’m probably around your age, and I don’t consider myself old. We have a few things in common: I owned a 2017 FZ09, I own a red 2024 STR 765 RS, and I’m 58-years-old. I love this bike, as well, much better than the FZ. Ride safe (or dangerous if you prefer). 😈
Thanks... Good question, not sure why a talk about age so much. I don't fell like an old dude, but when I look in the mirror, reality slaps me in the face. That's one of the reason you will very rarely see my face in the vids... I just don't want to be reminded that my time is running out fast. Crazy way to think for sure.
An amazing bike that you can't get out of 3rd gear because anything above 70 mph and you are being hammered by the wind. The bike would be so much better with a full fairing.
@@fonziebulldog5786I'm actually in the middle of trying to make this decision. I have a hayabusa, but looking for a smaller more practical bike that's still fun for the type of riding I do. Are you happy with your switch?
@@kforeal6809 I am and that Triumph was a happy surprise. I still cant understand there that 3 cylinder engine get all that power from. And then the easy handling. Yeah, nothing bad to say about that bike. And finally i had to own a TRIUMPH.😄👍

@@Yo-Ken that’s my understanding re cruise control too, as well as heated grips I believe if you want to control via the triumph dash. Perhaps get both at same time so you only have to make one dealer trip?
@Aaron Yeah, that would be the smart thing to do. I'm not a fan of dealers... not a good experience with where I bought the Triple. I'll have to try the dealer that's farther away.
@@MrBinkz Spoke to Triumph. The cruise control needs to be downloaded at the dealership, as part of the install. The heated grips can be just installed without it needing the dealer.
Brilliant review. What’s the low to mid range torque like? That’s where I would send most of my time on it.
Thanks, the low to mid range torque is excellent. Most of the torque comes in low and they way it is geared, it feels very strong, you won't be disappointed. If you turn the traction control off, it will power wheelie with ease.
The new exhaust sounds amazing bro 😎 nice 👍🏾
Hey Ken, great video,that yellow sure is growing on me lol,are you planning on doing a first service video when its time?
Yeah, I never thought I would by a yellow bike, but here I am with a yellow bike... lol. Yeah sure why not, I don't like to do how to videos, the just never come out well, but you ask, so I will do it. I just added a Yoshimura exhaust and tried to do the install video, but it did not come out so well, maybe I can piece something together. It was super simple, took about 40 minutes. You have to replace the complete system because the muffler is welded on. I found a brand new 2021 header on ebay... worked out good.
@Yo Ken yeah I'm so stoked to get my bike and I really wanted the 765 r (for the price) but that yellow is growing so fast on me,ill still probably get the R though, that sucks about the exhaust btw,and I'm more concerned about that service with the price and what they do and that service light being on,I'm guess I just want to see what's involved in getting a new motorcycle before I'm committed,
@@Tommyheady31 The 600 miles services is easy. Oil and filter is all they do. I have a OBD2 scanner, and a app called Tune ECU. You can trouble shoot, clear codes, reset service reminder... and upload custom tunes if you wish. I do have one issue that I might have to bring it make to the dealer, I am getting a TMPS warning, but i don't have tire pressure sensors. Not sure I can fix that with ECU Tune. I should have a video up in a few weeks for my 600 mile service.
Nice bike. I picked one up in silver and love it. Question for you, how'd you get the side panels off to swap out the turn signals?
Super Simple... there is a push pin on the inside panel, the black part. A small tool like a allen head... a number 2 or 3, just push it in and you can remove the fastener. Gently pull the colored body panel out and slide it towards the front of the bike. You will see the turn signal wiring. When you put it back, put some lube on the rubber grommet, it stops the grommet from pushing out. I have lost so many grommets not paying attention when putting the panels back on. Its just the one rubber grommet that needs very little lube... I use WD40.
Do you get any vibes in the bars at 70ish cruising? How are the rpm's? Does it feel revd out? Nice cruise and subd.
There are some weird harmonics between 4200 and 4800 rpm, but it does not bother me. 70mph cruising is fine, you feel some vibes through the bars and the mirrors vibrate above 60 mph, but for me its not am issue. My FZ1 was the same, most any naked type 3 or 4 cylinder you going to feel something. It does not feel revved out at 70 in 6th gear. The real power does not hit until 8000. Between 8000 and 12000 is were the fun starts.
I wonder if you could put a side saddle hard bag on the side like the tourer bikes have

Hi mate. Great video!! Picking up my silver RS next week and can’t wait. Could you let me know what phone case and mount you used for this please 🙏. Thanks
I will post the links. I have a Samsung s22, and use a Rock Form case.I don't use their mount though. The set up I use are ram ball mounts and clamps. The phone holder is for a tripod, but it works well for me. Evey time i changed my phone I had to buy a new case. The mount works with any phone. Its a crazy setup, but I can adjust anyway I like and it fits all my bikes. www.rokform.com/collections/samsung

They apparently did change the exhaust to increase flow, and that may of been in the headers. So changing it to a previous models version **may impact performance.
The header is almost identical. The only real difference is the cross over tube on the 2024 is about 1/8 inch lower than the older header, can't see that doing much. What is different, is the size of the cat and the pipe going into the muffler... its larger by a lot, but it goes into a very restrictive muffler. Not having anyone info from the engineers, and I could be wrong, but I would think the increase in compression ratio, different cam timing and turning has more to do with the power increase over the older model.
My experience with the slip on on is an increase in mid range power, but that's just from what it feels like to me from when it was stock.
@@Yo-Ken The lowering of the cross over tube might actually help increase torque, including the bends at further down locations. With the pipe being enlarged into the muffler may help with velocity as there is a decrease of pressure thus creating a better draw in the headers helping with overall flow. Triumph looks like they tried everything to increase torque, as it wasn't the top end letting it down compared to the competition. hence the lowering of the gears also.
*H pipes deliver low-end torque as opposed to the high-end torque from X-pipes. The H shape design creates some backpressure, leading to low-end torque.
Well I think reading to much into this. Look at the specs... peak torque for last year's model is 58lbs 9350. The 2024 is 59lbs at 9500. The cross over tube is a non issue. Gearing and engine improvements are the reason for more over all performance. I'm done with this... we will just have to disagree.
@@Yo-Ken I wasn't disagreeing. I was making an observation, nothing more. All the best.
Hey man, did you try 3rd gen mt09? I have mt09 2021 and I am thinking about switching to RS. Weekend rides in the twisties 90% of the time is what I do
I never tested the MT09. Its priced better, but I wanted to give the Triumph a shot. If you like the twistes, the Triumph is a sport bike without clip ons... amazing machine.
Hi Ken, where did you get the tail tidy and signal lights?
Here are the links... tail tidy broguemotorcycles.com/collections/triumph-street-triple-parts/products/triumph-daytona-675-street-triple-765-tail-tidy-kits-fender-eliminator-brogue
Turn signals... they are an exact copy of the European version. The US version are a joke... why they do this I don't know.

You keep talking about ergonomics, how tall are you/what inseam?
Sorry about that, I mention my height and inseam so many times in other videos, I forget that most viewers don't watch all the videos. I'm 5'11" with a 32 inch inseam. I can easily flat foot the Triple.
@@Yo-Ken thanks Ken. I’m a fair bit shorter at 5’7” with 30”ish inseam… thinking about either the RS (and removing the rear spacer to get 10mm drop) or just getting the R. Not sure yet.
@@MrBinkz Another thing you can do is take some preload out of rear shock. Between the two, you could get about an inch and half.
@@MrBinkz Am the same and it's fine. If were to change anything I'd suggest changing to the low seat instead first as that won't upset the bike so much if you removed the spacer.
@@reddpill removing the spacer will just give the bike the same geometry as the R, nothing wrong with that. But sounds like I won’t need to anyway. Time will tell I guess. The wait begins….
Hello from Arizona!
Nice review and beautiful bike. Can you ride all year in your part on NC?
Thank you sir... I do ride all year here in NC. It does drop into the upper 40's sometimes in the high 30's, but it does not last long. Overall the weather is better for riding than New York and New Jersey where I use to live.
@@Yo-Ken Really? I don't hear an accent?
😁
@@SmittyAZ Yo man, its there... your just yanking my chain. I wish I could loose the NY accent, but it ain't gonna happen.
Do you feel you could do a 400 mile day on that bike and be comfortable?
Yes, a few stops here and there... not a problem.
Liking your vids. Just got a ‘24 Striple R myself. What signals did you end up going with? Also I notice you’re in NC. I’m in Raleigh. Hit me up if you’re close and you wanna ride sometime.
Thanks, I got them off of Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R7KTN3J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Exact copies of the European Street Triples... plug and play, easy install. I'm in Selma, about 25 miles from Raleigh. I'm always up for a ride... just let me know when and where.
@@Yo-Ken Cool, thanks for the link. I thought I recognized the area! Been down there a lot. If it’s warm weekend after next we should link up!
@stevebeck3141 Np.... Absolutely, hit me up at this email... ken1656@yahoo.com
Love it
what is the tail pack you have, the offical one?
Its a Nelson Rigg Commuter Lite Tail Bag. Works great, about $100... straps under the seat. I will be sure to show how its mounted, on a future video.
Can you install yoshimura at2 slip on directly or do you need some mods for it? I checked their website but they didn’t say it supports current year version.
The 2024 Triple is a one piece exhaust. Slip on will not work. Two options... 2021 US model through 2023 stock header will work with the Yohsi. The other option is a complete system.
@@Yo-Kenthat’s too bad, too much a hassle, I’ll stick with the original pipe. BTW, do you wear ear plugs? Can you hear the exhaust sound clearly after db killer on?
@gunmenow I don't wear ear plugs. I do hear the exhaust, but it's mot annoying. The Leo Vince has a nice deep tone.
Hi Ken! Nice video! I’m a new owner of Street Triple RS silver ice color from Italy, Turin. It’s a great bike, although I still have to learn to ride it (my previous bikes: Ducati Multistrada and Yamaha Tracer 900…so different!). I didn’t understand everything about you video: where is the lake?
Thanks, the learning curve on the Triple is quick... like I said it's an easy bike to ride fast. With the 2 previous bikes you had, you will have no problem adjusting to the Triple. The lake is in North Carolina, it's called Buckhorn Lake.
How do you feel on the Street triple in city ridingi if you compare to the Tracer?
@patrickrosello9583 Never been on the Tracer, but the Triple is great in the city, it's light and very easy to get around. The only issue is the lock to lock with handlebars, it's tight... but its still easy to maneuver.
Which place is this you are riding through?
Just southeast of Raleigh, NC.
Im 53 and thinking about this, how is it on your knees
No issues, is sportier than my GS but not as bad as a true sport bike. I'm 5'11", 32 inch inseam. I did a 300 mile day on the Triple and all was good.
Hi, you are not running in your bike, are you?
No... never do.
There is no auto for me for "on-bike" footage (from 5:07 to the. end)
My camera audio was set on mono not stereo, so that may be the issue.
@@Yo-Ken Fix that issue bro. The sound only coming from left speaker is annoying. You still earned this sub
@@numbone Thanks man... I did fix it on my end. After the next video coming up the audio is fixed... you will here it from both speakers. It will be my exhaust upgrade video in a week or so. The next video is Bike Night, and some parts are stereo and some are mono.... sorry for the inconvenience.
Thoughts about trading a r6 for this exact bike ?
Handling wise, you won't give anything up. The Triple makes more power and will accelerate better because of the tightly spaced gearing... comfy, but still sporty. The R6 has the better wind protection when tucked in and clip ons for that better track experience. If you like sports bikes, you will feel right at home, but with a more comfy riding position.
@@Yo-Ken yeah I test rode one and really liked it a lot. I live in Florida so the r6 isn’t that practical here and I haven’t done track days in about 2 years now. My only concern is reliability with the triumph as I’ve had a trouble free 10k miles out my r6 and know it will go every time.
@RynoDinero I have owned 3 Triumphs in the past 4 years... very reliable... never needed to bring it back to the dealer for reliable issues.
Mt 10 more comfy?
When I sat on the Mt10 it was a more straight-up riding position. The pegs were not as far back. Depending on your riding style, I could see the Mt10 more on the comfy side.
Struggling between this Street Triple (in silver ice) and the Yamaha MT-09 SP -- because of the higher torque and the much better MPG (around 50 mpg plus). I used to ride liter bikes. Any suggestions?
Its hard not to like that the MT09. I know the torque numbers seem low on the Triple, but the way its geared you would think it has more torque, If you shut the wheelie control off, it will do power wheelies no problem. I just sold my FZ1, it was tuned and a beast. The only time I felt a difference with the FZ1 to the Triple is when you get past 110mph. I think either one would be great. I went with the Triple because around here there are lots of MT09's and wanted something different. I average around 43mpg.
@@Yo-Ken I was thinking I could just restore the normal sprocket sizes, like the Street Triple had in previous years, to lower rpms a bunch in every gear. That would get me much closer to the mpg I want. It will make the engine last longer too. Anyway, I'm kind of scared though that if I get the MT-09 SP that they will just revise it next year to compete better with the new 765.
@@lateralus9244 I could see that helping the mpg. I think the current MT09 will be around for a few more years.
@@Yo-Ken Yeah, nearly everyone around me here has a Yamaha as well -- or so it seems. I don't see a lot of newer MT-09s, or even a lot of MT-09s in general, but that's an excellent point! I bought my DLR Cruise Control today so I guess I just need the bike to put it on. It's too bad that the DLR switch may not work, per someone that said theirs didn't in a conversation you had with them on another video of yours. That's really frustrating! I hate that asymmetrical one-eyed monster being lit up all the time like that -- be really nice to find another way to shut it off with that switch.
Great bike, great review. A few thoughts. It’s not a ‘young man’s bike’, it’s a bike. Why harp on age so much? I’m probably around your age, and I don’t consider myself old. We have a few things in common: I owned a 2017 FZ09, I own a red 2024 STR 765 RS, and I’m 58-years-old. I love this bike, as well, much better than the FZ. Ride safe (or dangerous if you prefer). 😈
Thanks... Good question, not sure why a talk about age so much. I don't fell like an old dude, but when I look in the mirror, reality slaps me in the face. That's one of the reason you will very rarely see my face in the vids... I just don't want to be reminded that my time is running out fast. Crazy way to think for sure.
@@Yo-Ken Nah, you’ve got a lot more riding to do bud. 💯
Seems im watching someone in the future as its still 2023 for me
Very good :)
Still waiting for the fast part
An amazing bike that you can't get out of 3rd gear because anything above 70 mph and you are being hammered by the wind. The bike would be so much better with a full fairing.
I don’t mind the wind at all, unless the temps are below 60.
No it wouldnt. Owned a Hayabusa and bought a Street Triple and the wind a normal day dont bother me the slightest.
@@fonziebulldog5786I'm actually in the middle of trying to make this decision. I have a hayabusa, but looking for a smaller more practical bike that's still fun for the type of riding I do. Are you happy with your switch?
@@kforeal6809 I am and that Triumph was a happy surprise. I still cant understand there that 3 cylinder engine get all that power from. And then the easy handling. Yeah, nothing bad to say about that bike. And finally i had to own a TRIUMPH.😄👍
@@fonziebulldog5786 That's awesome man, I'm glad you're enjoying the bike and thanks for the reply! I'll be looking more into getting one, but giving up the busa is such a hard decision for me lol.
