Have to agree, the balance of facts and opinion, onboard v static, angles, commentary, length of video, humour/realism….all work for me. My favourite reviewer for years, others drift in and out of interest but I always enjoy seeing a new MF video appear.
Watched a few reviews on both these bikes all give great reviews, so didn't think that you would be disappointed with it a nice review as always plenty of information, Not owned a modern Triumph had a late 1970s Bonnie , Would like to see a touring version of this and the 1200 . The Trident is a little bit low on power for me, but a nice bike , I am looking forward to the next review for a comparison ,😊
First thing I order for all my bikes. I’m going for Evotech for this bike but I’d have to wait as they’re out of stock. Funny thing is that Triumph doesn’t have Radiator guards in their accessories list.
I’m not personally a massive fan of the looks of the Street Triple, but my god, what a great bike to ride. I’ve been on the RS for a couple of weeks, love it so need to get a go on the R version.
I love my 2018 Street Triple R. I also own a 2017 Bonneville T120, but I ride the Street five times more often. When I go full throttle at 8,000 rpms to 12,000 rpms, it never fails to bring a smile to my face. Thanks for the great video.
Love both the current R and RS. Rode them both. Have to say i did notice a difference in the RS in terms of suspension, smoothness. But either bike is excellent. Definitely will be adding one to my stable..well done. Lookin forward to hear your comparison.
One thing I don’t understand about the Street 765s are the dashboards. It seems to me that the 1st gen 765R & RS from 2017-19 had perfectly good and easy to read TFTs. For some reason they ditched those for the 2020 models and have yet to release one that’s as good.
Here’s a business plan for builders in Missenden: 1. Buy a new Street Triple R. 2. Have it painted black with gold wheels. 3. Sell it to TMF. 4. Wait for a call from TMF about a garage expansion. 5. Profit.
Awesome review. I once had a 2 hour blast on the Moto 2 Triple, and it was way more than I expected. I'm looking forward to your impressions on the RS.
@@TheMissendenFlyer The RS 1200 is just way overbike , I’ve had mine a year now and honestly I’ve not had it over 7000 Rpm because it’s not needed, it’ll do 70 mph in 3rd without even trying , the Street Triple is all anyone needs 👍🏾
Great review as always and what an unbelievable price at less than 10K. Can't wait for your RS review as that looks one hell of an awesome bike, and not just for the money. You've probably seen Kate's review where she was having one of her continual wet dream moments with it so it'll be fascinating to find out what you think. All the best mate 👍
Nice one, TMF! I'm loving my cosmic yellow Street Triple RS more than life itself at the moment. Just epic! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the slightly blingier brother!
I’ve got the Speed Triple Rs 1200 , I’ve test ridden the New Street Triple ( in yellow)😂 trust me you’ll have way more fun on your bike it’s an absolute masterpiece of a bike, I got mine before your bike came out and I’d swap with you in a heartbeat, the Speed Triple is so powerful but you can’t enjoy it it’s so powerful it’s crazy , 2nd gear 70 mph and that’s not even over 4000 rpm ! Stick with your Street Triple seriously it’s almost perfect 👍🏾
You have both in the garage and yet still found time to edit this? That is dedication! Off to Wootton later for a peak at these and the 660 Tiger. Looking forward to the RS review.
I was able to visit a Triumph Demo event and this was one of the bikes I got to ride, I rode the Triple R in white but my mate was able to ride the 1200 RS in orange. It was a real blast to ride and not really as intimidating that I thought it would be, very comfortable but the only complaint I have is when coming to a stop your bits are pressed right up against the tank which was a bit uncomfortable for me but other than that the bike was spot on. Definitely not really a beginners bike but it's not bad for a 2nd once you're ready to move up, the power is easily manageable if you can keep the throttle hand in check and it's there for when you want it. Love your reviews Andy, keep them coming!
Morning bud, I am not sold on the look of it, perhaps it will grow on me. It certainly looks like a boat load of fun though, plus it still has the streetie sound track. It's a lot of bike for the money, so well done Triumph, I think they will sell really well. It will be interesting to see how the RS stacks up...
I bought a street triple, due in large part to the missenden flyer! Still got it now, completely agree, it’s a fantastic bike. The only problem for me is, I see absolutely no reason to buy a newer one. Even tho mine is pretty high miles now. Will still watch and enjoy this first ride review tho 😎
That's a really good bike especially for the money. Fit and finish is tops. That 120 degree crank motor has the torque and smoothness. I'd take it over a similar four anyday. Harkens back to my 77 Yamaha XS 750 days. Issues yes, great smooth motor
Returned from the IOM TT yesterday and ordered the Street triple 765rs in cosmic yellow today, although need to be patient as delivery isn't till September. Cheers Andy great review as always 👍
Super review Andy and I’m seriously thinking of exchanging my RS660 for one. The mono headlight would also seriously affect my OCD. I smirked at the obligatory shot of Matilda’s! 😉 See you soon. 👌🏍
Spot on, your comment about the T Plain crank engine is bang on. Bought an 850 Sport new, and sold it 2 months later due to that lumpy, grumpy, snatchy engine. This 765 sounds superb. Changing the firing order is a mistake… that whine IS Triumph, not something that sounds like a Ford Focus…..
I was never a fan of Triumphs in general for some reason but over the past few months I’ve found myself constantly coming back to this bike; I’m looking to buy a middleweight naked and I was dead set on the CB650R but this bike is giving me second thougjts
Great bike, indeed you don't need more power, it has got plenty, but it is light, and that matters. For that reason I would prefer this one over the more powerful (and heavier) one.
They are growing on me. My Bro is in the Market for a Triumph aftrer T-Boning a trannie in a Vauxhall Astra the other week, on his 1199. I test rode the MT09sp and the XSR9 then settled for the Yellow Duke Scrambler Icon you tested, and I got it now. Slower I know but it handles so sweet and is frugle, I love it so much I cant see me riding the 999s FILA much at all. Keep up the gr8 content andy. I will recomend he tests this Triumph 1st before any other to replace his Tricolore 1199s.
Great review of a fantastic bike. Looking forward to thr RS review, and the comparison video, but I reckon you wouldn't need much more than the 765R by the sound of it.
I agree the fit and finish, and attention to detail is fantastic on the Triumph. I test rode a Street Triple RS and an MT-09SP back to back and even though I'm also a Triumph fan, I'm the owner of a "classic" 2010 675 Street Triple, at my 6ft2in height, the cramped up riding position of the Triumph Vs the roomy Yamaha was a no brainer. I'm now a very happy owner of an MT09-SP. Although I've kept my 675 as well as I couldn't bear to part with it.😀
The dumbest thing about this bike to differentiate itself from the RS model is the way the DRL's/headlights are set up. Unlike the other differences it just makes absolutely ZERO sense. I can't gather any cost reason, and think it is purely cosmetic. I plan to book an R this week. With the exchange rate in my country the jump to RS is too much for me personally. But that headlight bothers me. The lovely belly pan in the RS is not there, but at least I can add that as an option. Can't do anything with the headlight. Enjoyed the review very much. Cheers!
Indeed! Ditto with cruise control which is only optional on the RS. Quite why Triumph decided that the more track-focused variant should be the only one to have optional cruise control is anybody's guess!
Sold my 2014 street triple 675R to buy a super Duke 1290 evo . Still could'nt live without a triumph triple in my life. so bought a Daytona 2015 675R for local roads and odd track day . I've riden a 765cc has more torque be interesting on top rpm power compaired to a Daytona 675 126bhp . Can see why the RS Has made the Daytona redundant if as if not quick on track yet more road friendly . The reason for one running light , I think its to Not give the allusion of a car head lights in the distance in the dark or poor viability .
I went for the RS (in cosmic yellow) as I thought it was a slightly plusher ride but the new shorter gearing on both bikes gives the low and mid range acceleration a significant boost to the extent that you don't really feel the RSs extra 10 bhp until the top of the rev range, I'm with you 100% on the Rs TFT being better than the RSs, the one on the RS is too cluttered and is a bit Fisher Price but the extras on the RS like the Ohlins rear suspension and Brembo stylemas won me over but most of all the colour.
@@waltsmith6515 Yeah, it does seem an odd choice to not have the ohlins on the front too. I think only the extremely exclusive Moto2 version has ohlins on the front end.
Love this and having had a 675R and 765RS, it looks like they’ve got it right again. I didn’t get on with my 2018 RS as I found it really quite dull but the new R looks fun. Great review, as always 👍🏻
Great review of a great bike, i wish triumph would be more adventurous with colour schemes across the range, not just certain models. The yellow on the RS is amazing, the grey and white for this model is uninspiring in my opinion and would be a case of choosing which colour I dislike the least.
Lovely bike. Perfect power and performance balance. Would love one in an ideal world. I think the dash lets it down a bit though. A little on the pricey end for my budget and I’d be paranoid it’ll get nicked - (I’ve just bought an 8S and it’s amazing enough for me).
Well done, as always, mr Flyer. Imo those headlights are...not nice. I do like the underbike exhaust though. And the whining sound you like is, in my ears, not nice. Sounds like a...well, I leave that out! I think your old one looked better. Imagin this one in colours! Yes, I have tried a couple of these and it's not for me. Thank you mr Flyer!
Thanks for another great review. Something that may be of use to prospective buyers is the maintenance schedule and cost. E.g., I’ve always been a Honda guy so was shocked (!) when I started taking my GS in for scheduled maintenance. Thanks again.
I initially wanted to comment about "white van" encounter, but at the end you almost had one to follow. Good job beating him at the roundabout. 😄 Cheers. And finally, great review on the motorbike as always.
Great Bikes. I had a the 675, sold it because the wife did not appreciate the headbanging way these bikes make you ride, most of the time in full flight it sounded like an angry chainsaw 🙂
Brilliant video Andy. I have just bought a triumph 955i Sr on a 2004 plate. I have a tiger 900 rally plus witch we use for touring. Be interesting to see what the new rs is like. Keep up the Brilliant videos. 👍
Thought I'd revisit this video as I'm seriously thinking about one for my next bike (and to get back on safer ground!). I think this R model is probably the one for me, maybe with the addition of the optional belly pan... although that lovely yellow colour available on the RS is very tempting.
Those sinuous & organic looking downpipes (allied to the bike's power output) more than suggest to me, that in the land of sending hot gases round corners, some serious thought & fluid dynamics malarkey has been layered on that exhaust system. (I doubt they first tried a pair of 'Ray-gun' silencers off the original 750 triples though, - they'd probably weigh more than this entire bike - & likely halve the power! : )
The one thing the R does not get is the option to add cruise control. You can in the RS though. Not sure why they made that decision. Maybe to get more into the RS. Not a dealbreaker for me as I don't take long highway trips
Cruise is not available on the R, the switchgear and dash are different to the RS and this is the reason why, according to the dealer that sold me my R.
A bit later but morning. I'm like you I have a special spot in my heart for triumph street triple r an like you I had the 2012 model an like you I didn't like the one after it an like you I had to sell her for space an as usual if I would have just wated a year I could have still had her. after my kid's it was the biggest mistake getting rid but now I have a man cave soooooo big I could open a bike shop in it plus still have room for my bike's I'm never selling anymore ever again. An I'm working on my wife now for this one but I'll get the rs or gp one if I'm lucky enough. But the sound of this is bringing back memories
Andy.... Andy... Andy... there's a simple solution, suggestive sell Mrs TMF on her first bike being a 765R Low suspension, light. fast, frugal... ish... as long as she wants to do her test (of course!)
Hi Andy, I do think that for the money 765R offers more than excellent specs. It still is very naked though of which I'm not a huge fan and I wouldn't consider one to be honest. I did test ride the Triumph tiger 660 sport and it was a real surprise. Loved the engine and comfort of 660. Do you really need the 765R performance on the street? I found the 660 to be fast enough already......
l concur with everything you have to say about the Twiple..its the epitome of ''If it look right its is right''. As I've mentioned on your show before l own a 2014 675R its brilliant, plus its a better colour ...(mine is Red & Black)..Colour aside, the Triple just gets better and better.... its the benchmark of the genre...l threw a leg over a Gold RS at the Alicante dealership ....If only the exchange rate would go back to pre-brexit value....in the meantime l will continue to be a ingles minor hooligan about the Spanish countryside.. Greetings from España.
I took delivery of a street triple RS last month. It lasted a week. It just didn’t seem anything like the first one I had years ago (Street Triple R). Sure it was faster, way better equipped but for some reason, I couldn’t bond with it. I knew I wasn’t going to like it a mile down the road from the dealer. I’m now back on a Ducati.
@@TheMissendenFlyer It was impossible. I went off the reviews / marketing. If I had have waited to test ride a demo then the risk would’ve been I wouldn’t get the bike until the autumn due to ongoing delays. I was certain I’d like it so ordered as early as I could.
I love street triples but have yet to own one. The R is probably the model most people should buy for the roads but won't of course. I prefer the dash on this to the awful RS dash but love the red and yellow RS colours. Both amazing machines I'm sure. Oh and you have ridden the latest Speed Triple RS btw. 😏
Decent review 👍👍 I am really interested in your RS Street report Andy, can you see if it has a tacho display with Speedo in the middle option instead of that twatting hard to read wing graph rev counter malarkey ? It would really spoil it for me if it hadn't ?
Good review TMF as per usual great machine the street triple . Prefer the speedtriple myself but as you day more than enough for the roads . Looking forward to rd review. Should have been after that yellow bike 😁😁😁 overtaking another bike in a 30 limit says it all .👍😁
Great review Andy. lovely machine and true, you really don't need any more power than this on the roads of today. But why is the R only available in 2 colours and mono colours at that. Triumph have been making more effort with their colours as of late but the R should be available in that nice red and/or that gorgeous yellow. Anyway, I think you need a Street Triple in your life Andy, no doubt. Go on mate treat yourself to one of those gorgeous yellow RS models. You know it makes sense.
The Triumph site's configurator for the new Street Triple 765 is really confusing in relation to the security devices offered. It doesn't let you choose both the alarm (Protect+) and tracking device (Track+) together. As the description for Track+ makes no mention of it featuring an alarm system I therefore presume that the new Street Triple 765 can't have an alarm system plus tracking system. It's one or the other. That seems bizarre! Also, the configurator won't let you choose the Connectivity module along with Track+ or Protect+. The descriptions for Track+ and Protect+ make no mention of them featuring what the Connectivity module offers. So are we to presume that customers wanting the Connectivity features can't also have the alarm system or the tracking system? Again, that seems bizarre! To further confuse matters, I checked to see if it was the same for the Trident whereby I discovered the situation differs to the Street Triple 765. With the Trident it's possible to choose the Connectivity module plus Protect+ or Track+ together. But, like with the Street Triple 765, not Protect+ and Track+ together.
Hi Andy, really good first review of the 765, and with todays values appears to be a bargain. Look forward to your comparison with it's blingy stablemate, I think I know which way you will go, but I will have to wait and see. Thank you.
Am I the only Striple owner that actually likes the number plate bracket and see no reason to fit a tail tidy? I also much prefer the analogue tacho fitted to my bike.
You have this uncanny knack of being thoroughly entertaining whilst giving us all the facts. Always enjoy your reviews!
Wow - that's very kind of you to say - thank you very much!

Can't help but think with our roads breaking up resulting in more stones and debris that we should all be thinking about radiator guards! Nice bike!
I agree 100%
Watched a few reviews on both these bikes all give great reviews, so didn't think that you would be disappointed with it a nice review as always plenty of information,

@@stephenspiteri_zunkus The first thing I did when I got my new RS home was fit an evotech rad guard 👍
I learnt that lesson the hard way with my 2020 RS after paying just shy of £500 to Triumph for a new radiator. 😢 It now has a radiator guard fitted!
I’m not personally a massive fan of the looks of the Street Triple, but my god, what a great bike to ride. I’ve been on the RS for a couple of weeks, love it so need to get a go on the R version.

I can see one of these appearing in your garage sometime soon. Great review, and looks a really good bike.
I have the new RS in Cosmic Yellow.. I love it. Great road test as always.
Good choice! ...and thank you!
Thanks for a great review. The styling on this bike reminds me of the Benelli 899tnt
The street triple is the best value out. What you get for the money is unparalleled. I have the RS. It’s an awesome bike.
Beat most cars for that price… pretty sweet stuff
Here’s a business plan for builders in Missenden:
1. Buy a new Street Triple R.
2. Have it painted black with gold wheels.
3. Sell it to TMF.
4. Wait for a call from TMF about a garage expansion.

Great video, timing of is perfect, I’m trying to decide between the R and RS. Obviously I need to test ride both but value your opinion.

Unless you are tracking or really wanting the up spec suspension the R will meet your needs on the street. You won’t feel the difference in HP

It's a bike I see loads of out in the wild. Interested in the comparison to the RS.
At the risk of being lynched, perhaps the 899 can make way for it.
great review. suspension on this is just waaaay better than the competition.
The R seems to make a little more sense than the R/S for everyday road use, trouble is you cannot get the R in that lovely Yellow.
Indeed! Ditto with cruise control which is only optional on the RS. Quite why Triumph decided that the more track-focused variant should be the only one to have optional cruise control is anybody's guess!
Ordered the RS in yellow but still pondering whether to pick up a used streetfighter v2 used instead.
Stick with the Triumph!
I feel that my US ’24 765 Moto2 has notably more midrange than my '18 765 RS had, man the old RS was really high strung.
Contender for my next bike… lovely bike on lovely roads, where’s all the traffic ?

Sold my 2014 street triple 675R to buy a super Duke 1290 evo . Still could'nt live without a triumph triple in my life. so bought a Daytona 2015 675R for local roads and odd track day . I've riden a 765cc has more torque be interesting on top rpm power compaired to a Daytona 675 126bhp . Can see why the RS Has made the Daytona redundant if as if not quick on track yet more road friendly .
The reason for one running light , I think its to Not give the allusion of a car head lights in the distance in the dark or poor viability .
I went for the RS (in cosmic yellow) as I thought it was a slightly plusher ride but the new shorter gearing on both bikes gives the low and mid range acceleration a significant boost to the extent that you don't really feel the RSs extra 10 bhp until the top of the rev range, I'm with you 100% on the Rs TFT being better than the RSs, the one on the RS is too cluttered and is a bit Fisher Price but the extras on the RS like the Ohlins rear suspension and Brembo stylemas won me over but most of all the colour.
The yellow looks great! Always wish I'd got the chance the chance to have a daytona in that colour 😅
The m50's were already overkill,would rather one step up in front forks instead
@@waltsmith6515 Yeah, it does seem an odd choice to not have the ohlins on the front too. I think only the extremely exclusive Moto2 version has ohlins on the front end.
@@ThiefOfNavarre I didn't say ohilins I said One step up
Love this and having had a 675R and 765RS, it looks like they’ve got it right again. I didn’t get on with my 2018 RS as I found it really quite dull but the new R looks fun.
Great review, as always 👍🏻
Thank you!
Great review of a great bike, i wish triumph would be more adventurous with colour schemes across the range, not just certain models. The yellow on the RS is amazing, the grey and white for this model is uninspiring in my opinion and would be a case of choosing which colour I dislike the least.
Totally agree
The RS is on my wish list. I'm a bit puzzled by the tangled look of the exhaust headers though.
I think they look cool....but then I'm just a Triumph fan....
They actually look pretty good up close
@@TheMissendenFlyer Maybe it was the angle I saw them from ?
Lovely bike. Perfect power and performance balance. Would love one in an ideal world. I think the dash lets it down a bit though. A little on the pricey end for my budget and I’d be paranoid it’ll get nicked - (I’ve just bought an 8S and it’s amazing enough for me).
Lovely looking bike. I started watching yr latest video but then watch this one first fab
A key! I've got the 1200RS and it's got the keyless start. Bloody nightmare.
Well done, as always, mr Flyer. Imo those headlights are...not nice. I do like the underbike exhaust though. And the whining sound you like is, in my ears, not nice. Sounds like a...well, I leave that out! I think your old one looked better. Imagin this one in colours!
Yes, I have tried a couple of these and it's not for me.
Thank you mr Flyer!
How interesting! Everythingabout this bike I love...!!
@@TheMissendenFlyer 😂👍
Love the sound of the triple.
Me too....
I don’t do wheelies unless something terrible has happened. Love the honesty. Look forward to you not wheeling the RS.
😂 Insert somewhere in Mexico here!!
Thanks for another great review. Something that may be of use to prospective buyers is the maintenance schedule and cost. E.g., I’ve always been a Honda guy so was shocked (!) when I started taking my GS in for scheduled maintenance. Thanks again.
Won't be long before we see one of these in your garage. Thought you would have liked the yellow flash on it as it matched your lid.
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this! RS next I hope
I initially wanted to comment about "white van" encounter, but at the end you almost had one to follow. Good job beating him at the roundabout. 😄 Cheers.
And finally, great review on the motorbike as always.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Bikes. I had a the 675, sold it because the wife did not appreciate the headbanging way these bikes make you ride, most of the time in full flight it sounded like an angry chainsaw 🙂
Right on!
Shoulda tried upshifting
So, you quite like it then.... Nicely done TMF, look forward to the RS review.
I love it
Hey Andy, will we be getting a KTM Duke 890/890R review? 😁
No plans at the moment....
@@xorbe2 KTM is what with tester bikes?
@@gss6531 I read that KTM is stingy with tester bikes.
Nice! Really looking forward to the RS vid!
Coming soon!
Brilliant video Andy. I have just bought a triumph 955i Sr on a 2004 plate. I have a tiger 900 rally plus witch we use for touring. Be interesting to see what the new rs is like. Keep up the Brilliant videos. 👍
Thank you - will do!
Thought I'd revisit this video as I'm seriously thinking about one for my next bike (and to get back on safer ground!). I think this R model is probably the one for me, maybe with the addition of the optional belly pan... although that lovely yellow colour available on the RS is very tempting.
It is isn't it....
Looking at the dash in the beginning of the vid and "who wants to be a millionaire" popped into my head 🤣
Those sinuous & organic looking downpipes (allied to the bike's power output) more than suggest to me, that in the land of sending hot gases round corners, some serious thought & fluid dynamics malarkey has been layered on that exhaust system.
(I doubt they first tried a pair of 'Ray-gun' silencers off the original 750 triples though, - they'd probably weigh more than this entire bike - & likely halve the power! : )
The one thing the R does not get is the option to add cruise control. You can in the RS though. Not sure why they made that decision. Maybe to get more into the RS. Not a dealbreaker for me as I don't take long highway trips
That's interesting....wonder why they did that....
I understand you can get it on the R
Cruise is not available on the R, the switchgear and dash are different to the RS and this is the reason why, according to the dealer that sold me my R.
A bit later but morning. I'm like you I have a special spot in my heart for triumph street triple r an like you I had the 2012 model an like you I didn't like the one after it an like you I had to sell her for space an as usual if I would have just wated a year I could have still had her. after my kid's it was the biggest mistake getting rid but now I have a man cave soooooo big I could open a bike shop in it plus still have room for my bike's I'm never selling anymore ever again. An I'm working on my wife now for this one but I'll get the rs or gp one if I'm lucky enough. But the sound of this is bringing back memories
Liking the sound of that man cave!
Great review again andy bike sounds an looks good colour is good but the black an gold you had was cool
Please don't remind me!!
Great review Andy!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice bike
See you at the ABR in a couple of weeks
Sure thing - come and say hello if you see me wandering about, can't wait!!
Great review Andy. I now want one 😜
Join the club....
Andy.... Andy... Andy... there's a simple solution, suggestive sell Mrs TMF on her first bike being a 765R Low suspension, light. fast, frugal... ish... as long as she wants to do her test (of course!)
Don't think I haven't thought of that!!
Hi Andy, I do think that for the money 765R offers more than excellent specs. It still is very naked though of which I'm not a huge fan and I wouldn't consider one to be honest. I did test ride the Triumph tiger 660 sport and it was a real surprise. Loved the engine and comfort of 660. Do you really need the 765R performance on the street? I found the 660 to be fast enough already......
I love the look of these but I still prefer the old one with the big round headlights, great review again Andy.
Agree entirely on the headlights; can't see past them 😂
Thanks! 👍
@@mclarnonc2002 😂
Just my opinion, I don't like the front lens. But looks like a fun bike. Great review
Thanks! 👍
Wish they'd do a retro looking version of this bike.
Test rode one today, loved it! What do you think between this and the Kawasaki Z900 RS? Thanks, your channel is brilliant!
Having owned both I’d say they are both excellent bikes! Go for the one you like the look of the most.
Thank you!
The way your throttle hand is on the right of the grip resting your hand on the handle bar end it stand out and bugs me but good video as always
Sorry about that - trick of the GoPro - it's not like that in real life!"
l concur with everything you have to say about the Twiple..its the epitome of ''If it look right its is right''. As I've mentioned on your show before l own a 2014 675R its brilliant, plus its a better colour ...(mine is Red & Black)..Colour aside, the Triple just gets better and better.... its the benchmark of the genre...l threw a leg over a Gold RS at the Alicante dealership ....If only the exchange rate would go back to pre-brexit value....in the meantime l will continue to be a ingles minor hooligan about the Spanish countryside.. Greetings from España.
One of these on those Spanish roads would be epic!
@@TheMissendenFlyer My nine year old 675 still is epic..🏍
I took delivery of a street triple RS last month. It lasted a week. It just didn’t seem anything like the first one I had years ago (Street Triple R). Sure it was faster, way better equipped but for some reason, I couldn’t bond with it. I knew I wasn’t going to like it a mile down the road from the dealer. I’m now back on a Ducati.
Crikey - I’m surprised….didn’t you test ride one??
@@TheMissendenFlyer It was impossible. I went off the reviews / marketing. If I had have waited to test ride a demo then the risk would’ve been I wouldn’t get the bike until the autumn due to ongoing delays. I was certain I’d like it so ordered as early as I could.
@@Johnhere I see....
I love street triples but have yet to own one. The R is probably the model most people should buy for the roads but won't of course. I prefer the dash on this to the awful RS dash but love the red and yellow RS colours. Both amazing machines I'm sure. Oh and you have ridden the latest Speed Triple RS btw. 😏
Thank goodness you're paying attention!!! :0)
Decent review 👍👍 I am really interested in your RS Street report Andy, can you see if it has a tacho display with Speedo in the middle option instead of that twatting hard to read wing graph rev counter malarkey ? It would really spoil it for me if it hadn't ?
My review is already "in the can" - publishing soon....
Good review TMF as per usual great machine the street triple . Prefer the speedtriple myself but as you day more than enough for the roads . Looking forward to rd review.
Should have been after that yellow bike 😁😁😁 overtaking another bike in a 30 limit says it all .👍😁
Great review Andy. lovely machine and true, you really don't need any more power than this on the roads of today. But why is the R only available in 2 colours and mono colours at that. Triumph have been making more effort with their colours as of late but the R should be available in that nice red and/or that gorgeous yellow. Anyway, I think you need a Street Triple in your life Andy, no doubt. Go on mate treat yourself to one of those gorgeous yellow RS models. You know it makes sense.
So you buy rs 🤔
My thoughts exactly
The Triumph site's configurator for the new Street Triple 765 is really confusing in relation to the security devices offered. It doesn't let you choose both the alarm (Protect+) and tracking device (Track+) together. As the description for Track+ makes no mention of it featuring an alarm system I therefore presume that the new Street Triple 765 can't have an alarm system plus tracking system. It's one or the other. That seems bizarre!
Also, the configurator won't let you choose the Connectivity module along with Track+ or Protect+. The descriptions for Track+ and Protect+ make no mention of them featuring what the Connectivity module offers. So are we to presume that customers wanting the Connectivity features can't also have the alarm system or the tracking system? Again, that seems bizarre!
To further confuse matters, I checked to see if it was the same for the Trident whereby I discovered the situation differs to the Street Triple 765. With the Trident it's possible to choose the Connectivity module plus Protect+ or Track+ together. But, like with the Street Triple 765, not Protect+ and Track+ together.
Very weird!
@@TheMissendenFlyer Indeed. Most likely an oversight by the IT guy/contractor responsible for the configurator!
You know you'll have to do the speed triple after the two 765s and tell us which you'd have
Either Street Triple over the Speed everyday of the week for me.
See comment above
Ditto
That radiator looks massive
Hi Andy, really good first review of the 765, and with todays values appears to be a bargain. Look forward to your comparison with it's blingy stablemate, I think I know which way you will go, but I will have to wait and see. Thank you.
What’s your guess?
@@TheMissendenFlyer I think you will go for the one you reviewed today, it already has everything you need. Could be wrong though, ha-ha..
Such a nice bike one day I will upgrade to the RS from my ninja 400
Am I the only Striple owner that actually likes the number plate bracket and see no reason to fit a tail tidy? I also much prefer the analogue tacho fitted to my bike.
Just like the HNTR 350 the clutch cable routing looks an afterthought.
