The Triple throttle is not jerky, no comparison to the FZ1. The FZ1 in stock form is not good, its on/off. When tuned its a night and day difference. I use Ivan's Performance tune, the FZ1 is now a pleasure to ride.
Great review! I'm curious about the wind / wind noise! Of course, it's a naked! :) But was wondering. Is it a very clean air flow because of the extremely small sized front? Little buffeting? If you know what I mean! I've had several bikes with small windshields and large ones that can create a lot more wind noise, buffeting, and turbulence!!! For example, if you drop your head off to side away from the shield the noise is drastically reduced! Was curious your feeling on the street triple! Thanks!!
Thanks... For me at 5'11" the air is clean with very little wind noise up to 65mph. I was thinking of a small windscreen, but from my past experience, they all caused more wind noise and buffeting. I think helmets also are a big factor. I have a Shoie GT Air 2, it's very quiet.
I feel everything you're saying about the RS...... I test rode it a while ago but figured it was underpowered or slow compared to my old KTM Superduke 990. I was positively surprised, it's super fast, has great handling and looks really sexy. Of course a 1000cc is faster, but only on the straights. Some people would say you get what you pay for, but I would say you get a little bit more with the RS. For me a great price-performance ratio. And now I'm sitting here watching videos while waiting for my ordered RS. 😂 PS: I understand the display thing, the good thing is that it's just software. You don't have to give up hope for a future update. For me personally, a layout on which you can read the engine speed would be really great - it's not that important to me personally to know how fast I'm driving.
I got them from Amazon, they are for yamaha's, but they fit perfectly. I would say the help, but just a little. I thought they would help the mirror vibs. If anything... they are good as sliders. a.co/d/hhmWe7X
Hi Ken love your videos mate , I'm in England and have a gs1250 & moto2 street triple , when the Brits say plush suspension what we mean is it stiff but comfortable as it would round off the bumps never bottoms out , my gs feels like a rolls Royce compared as in to soft almost bouncy, I think the street is like a scalpel almost race bike in feel , just wish triumph did the moto2 in your yellow , ❤
Thanks, that makes sense. What color Moto2... I like the moto 2 yellow, just didn't want to go with the lower handlebars, but it is a cool look. Agreed, the Triple is a scalpel.
@@Yo-Ken it's the triumph racing yellow but looks Kermit green yes it's beautiful but I tried to purchase the rs in yellow but completely sold out in England , totally agree with the dash aswell it's useless for the revcounter but otherwise it is the dogs bolloxs, 😉
No, I don't like the way they look, and from my experience it causes more wind issues with a small screen, and a touring screen would ruin the lines of the bike.
I'm with you 100% on the RSs TFT, for me it's the ONLY downer on a great bike and what makes it worse is that the original 2017 Street triple TFT was good, then the 2020 one was not so good and the 2023 TFT is bad, in fact if Triumph offered me the dash of the Street triple R (also on the Trident and Tiger 660) to replace the present one I wouldn't even have to think I'd take it, Triumph should take a look at BMW TFTs, they're the benchmark, excellent. the RS is superb and I knew its TFT wasn't good but it was a really small complaint, not enough to put me off a great bike.
@@Yo-Ken As you said yourself you couldn't really handle the FZ..or you'd have been licking the paint... don't compare bikes you can't ride properly...when you do make a proper video.....
Thanks I enjoyed your review, you seem very pleased with the bike - as a Street Triple "R" owner I get that. It's rather compelling to open the throttle maybe too much sometimes lol. Have fun and stay safe. :>)
You and I are only a handful of people who would ask this question about a performance bike. Thanks for asking; now I know too: 45 mpg -- much better than I thought it would be. I've been hearing 40 to 43 mpg, unconfirmed.
@@Yo-Ken One has got to be really impressed with the MT-09's fuel mileage of 50 mpg though, with at least half the ride as a hooligan and the other half of it as a safe responsible rider. That's the other bike I am tempted to get. However, I just bought the DLR Cruise Control for the Triumph 765 so I guess I am leaning in that direction now. I read those posts; so bummed that that DLR switch will likely not work. I'm wondering if a dealer mechanic could enable it in the electronics like you can with the cruise control. 🤔
YES!! Keep complaining about the dash because maybe one day Triumph will finally listen and provide a software upgrade. If they simply go back to the 2019 RS dash, it’d be perfect!!
@@Yo-Ken You said at the beginning the triumph would do 120 in first as the FZ would not....the triumph was more responsive...do you even know what your saying...it right there in your account of both bike's.....??????
@@martinpierce4508 Again, no I did not. I said if you are in first and you rip the throttle open its fast. I did use a coma because your can't do that when speaking. Then I go on to say its fast right up to 120. I did not say you could do 120 in first gear. Any seasoned rider on these types of bikes know your not doing 120 in first gear. I didn't think I had clarify it. Dude, you need to lighten up. Its only my thoughts on the 2 bikes....geez. Oh and the way the triple is geared, it is more responsive at the low rpms.
9:03 “I just can’t resist when I get an open road!” 😅 I feel you, man! 😂
That yellow is incredible
How is the jerky on/off throttle of the new bike in comparison to the Fz?

That's how I felt when I read the specs... power, weight and price point. It has not disappointed.
What bar end are you running? Did it help with the vibration?

You have an FZ1 also? I have a 2006 FZ1 also. Lol
I had one, sold it in May... should have kept it, it was great bike.
Do you think you will be putting a windscreen on it?

Your canary yellow triumph is the same colour as the road paint ...and no matter what you say the FZ... hammer's it 😂😂😂😂😂❤
I like road paint also... cheers!

Thanks, I tell myself I need to behave, but I can't help it when the right road comes up.
What is the fuel consumption you have gotten out of the street triple? Thanks!
I'm averaging 45mpg.
@@Yo-Ken Thank you

@@lateralus9244 I think it comes down to how you ride. If I am hooligan for the whole ride, It will easily drop to 40mpg,

When you hit the rev limit in first you were not hitting 120....
YES!! Keep complaining about the dash because maybe one day Triumph will finally listen and provide a software upgrade. If they simply go back to the 2019 RS dash, it’d be perfect!!
I would be happy with the 2019 dash also.
+1 on that
5:59....yo ken....you said it.....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂....120.
If I was to get a naked I’d go with the CB1000 R or the smaller CB650 R…
I like the look of the CB1000R.
@@Yo-Ken it’s mean hahah
You know that the power of the rs type is limited, it is capable of 140-160 hp
I'm hoping a tune comes soon. I would be happy with 140.
83...in first...not 120..... careful what you say.....
I never said I was in first. The triple will only do just over 60 in first. As far as being careful... I say what I please:)
