    I went and tested both bikes one by one and I can see more :) I choose Street triple despite its advantages and disadvantages :) a plus:
    - quality of workmanship (the blinker of the lights does not irritate :))
    - engine flexibility
    -multimedia - bluetooth module, screen navigation, etc.
    -pleasant sound of 3 cylinders is something addictive when unscrewing
    -Better working quickshifter
    -has a storage compartment in the rear with USB
    - it is comfortable and I feel comfortable on it, I feel that I understand it :)
    -larger fuel tank compared to the competition
    Minuses :
    - blows;)
    - a bit worse with luggage
    - no cruise control
    RS660
    Benefits :
    - Appearance,
    - sporty character
    - cruise control
    - a place for a trunk
    -multimedia (after purchasing the module)
    Defects:
    - Too sporty position (after a long trip, wrists and loins may hurt)
    - disturbing fuel tank during stronger maneuvers
    - jerking quickshifter
    - too high for my girlfriend and does not reach the ground with my feet (the position is higher than my tracer 700)
    - the original exhaust sounds as it sounds, but it looks nice, unfortunately there is no accessory that would look so nice and fit at the bottom
    - in my opinion a bit of pixelosis is ok, but smoother ones would be nicer to the eye.
    This is my opinion and no one has to agree with it :) And let everyone ride himself and judge at his own discretion. :) And thanks!

    Just bought the Matte Black RS and was looking at the Aprilla. I had a 2009 Daytona after having an R6 and a HD Nightrod Special. The engines in Triumphs I don't think can be beat for street and road. The R6 was great top end, HD great in the low but obviously only a straight a way bike which takes half the fun out of riding. The mid and low power is unreal on these triples and the powerband is incredibly smooth and wide. I can't think of a more perfect bike for someone like me who mainly commutes and joyrides more than anything. I didn't buy an RS for the TFT, but its definitely nice to have. The 660, as a multiple year rider, just didn't have enough guts to convince me. I think it would be a great beginner bike though if you have the scratch. Great video, thanks!

      @@PetroHead If you'r not racing your Streety RS. But want the Triumph, take the R instead, I would say. 2K "wasted" money on the Öhlins and the very bad readable display. I've just riden bouth. And as much as i like the triple engine and the paint quality, I like the RS660 more overall. More wind protection, much better electronics, for a sportsbike I found the seating position comfortable, not much worse than on the Streety but much better than let's say a R6. I'm 1,71m. And a well set suspension, even though it's not Öhlins. But that shows once again. It doesn't always have to be the big brands. A well set Kayaba for casual riding can do the job just as good. And in these two cases I found the standart setting on the Aprilia even a little better. But it's obviouse that with propper settings the Showa/Öhlins combination will be better.

    The lack of cruise control is a big one for a street bike. It's going to be very hard to go back to a street bike without CC. Triumph should have made it optional. Hell, the Bonneville has it. Their most popular bike should as well. Also the looks. I'm one of those people who hate the headlight design.
    I couldn't buy the RS though. Too much of a sporty position for my back. But Aprillia does make a "naked" version, and I'm looking at that.

    I bought RS660 for 10900 euros, and Triumph was asking for RS 12700 euros without extras. WTF 12700. With rs660 you can do knee on your first bike easily. RS660 much more comfortable than street R

      Totally different bikes. I own the triumph street RS and it’s a very precise bike. Great handeling. Smooth throttle and gearbox. Front wheel tends to stay planted.
      The MT09 is a handful, very aggressive, wants to throw you off, also handles really well, but hitting throttle midcorner is extremely risky and violent.
      If you want to go hard all the time, mt09. If you also want to cruise and have a “normal” bike below 9k rpm it’s the triumph all the way. It behaves very nicely under 8 to 9k rpm and has a fantastic top-end rush above that.
