Not a lot of youtube videos are worth 25 minutes these days, but this was definitely was. A trip to be added to any enthusiast's bucket list without a doubt. Good job @MCN
I travelled in Sweden, Norway and Danmark with my Street triple 675 in 2016, and I really loved the bike.... Because I commute about 150 km's a day (kilometers, because I'm from Belgium :-)) I bought me a Tiger 800 in march 2017. By now (8 months later) I did about 20.000 km's, and also took a 4000km - trip through the Alps. And how much I love the Tiger.... I still miss the Street triple. I tested the new 765RS a few months ago, and I immediately remembered the reason why I started, and still love, riding a bike.... I know the tiger is perfect for commuting (especially in the winter), but I can't get over the street triple.... what a dilemma! I really don't want to buy 2 bikes.By the way, I really loved the review, watched it 2 times ! :-)
Just done a trip all the way round Spain on my street triple RS with 3 other mates and apart from a 3 day stay at Benidorm we headed for mountain areas to camp, it was by far the best bike trip I have ever done in my 39 years of motorcycling, great roads, views, weather and of course a superb piece of machinery to ride it on, we covered almost 3000 miles. You are right about the wind blast but we stuck to the speed limits anyway, perhaps when more aftermarket parts become available I will get a taller screen. Excellent video and thanks for posting it. Stephen Latchford
I was so infatuated with the bike and the stunning scenery that I'd genuinely forgotten that I'd been watching a review update! Brilliant, mate! Seriously incredible.
Idk what it is about Joe, but I love watching his reviews. He just seems to genuinely love riding and comes off as just a normal guy you would run into on the street. Hope to see more from him.
My RS in 4500km: -Slight coolant leagage (bolts not tightened to 10Nm...) -"Check engine light" (oxidation on the brake light connector under the fuel tank) -Clutch lever adjuster spring lost its tension, saw the adjusted wheel turn by the wind blast while on the Autobahn. -Clutch lever didn't fully return to resting position. It grinded a little against the housing, the debris that came off made the action move heavily. All quickly fixed (even while on vacation in Germany) while I had a drink at the dealership. And still ... absolutely LOVE that bike :D
its refreshing to see a bike reviewer take some time and pride in their work and show us the full capabilities of a bike. I just bought this bike from watching this video, thanks a lot man if your ever down in wales ill show you some roads to ride. Good work mate.
Fantastic video. The way you tell it is spot on, have a Street Triple R myself but this thing looks incredible!! Thanks for the video and the efforts you all put into it!
Just who is this guy.?? What an amazing review of the roads and the machine. Amazing scenery and a super story. I've just watched this from end to end an all I wanna do now is book some transport and go do it myself. Keep up the fantastic work,, motorcycling at its best..
Or we don't want to watch this guy complaining about rain for 5 minutes in a supermarket or wait 8 minutes for video footage of the bike which we came here to see. What an idiotic comment.
At 9:50 ... It looked like the 'wall' of game of thrones! And there was the dragon with triumph branding standing....! One of the best mcn reviews till date and best of the street 765....
Wauw guys...really amazing movie and great story about going out there and seeking the adventure. Also real nice to share such adventure with an old friend. I went for a little adventure myself yesterday after work where i decided to go on the search for some new roads only to find myself on a familiar road a little later. I live in The Hague and decided to go South along the shoreline towards Hoek van Holland. As a kid I would take the ferry from Hoek van Holland to harwich to visit family for Christmas. And without knowing where I was really heading I found myself driving on the exact same road (dike to be precise) that I had been on so many times heading towards of from the ferry... pretty special. After which I found some lovely b roads with some big roundabouts for some cornering action as far as that goes on a roundabout. Would love some more video's like this one in the near future! All the best!
Nothing stopping you Mathieu! I literally packed some panniers and went, as you can see. No real forethought in it other than going to look for some great riding roads. :) - Joe
As a Triumph lover, I've owned a Triumph Explorer, a Tiger 1050 and a Speed Triple R. I've never been a fan of the Street Triple's looks to be honest but have to say this is probably the best looking so far, and it sounds fantastic! Good video, a little different from the usual stuff that's out there.
Little curiosity: the road at the colle del Nivolet is supposed ti take you into nature - that Is the whole point of the road. Anyway I've been there last August with the 2020 RS and I loved every Moment of that trip. Cheers :)
A few years back, my friend and I rode to Colorado, we got up to 12,000 ft. (about 3650 m. to you) and I have an 08 Bonneville America, last year carbureted. It was very sluggish, but nothing a downshift couldn't cure. Had to adjust the idle at elevation. Ran like a champ otherwise. Love Triumph's, still have it with 69,000 mi.on the clock.
At the end, when you were talking about the wind buffering at 75/80, are you talking kph, or mph? I'm really interested in getting one, and love hearing from everyday people about their experiences. ...thanks.
Awesome job, excellent video you've really stepped up the game for MCN. Look forward to your next one, you've also sold me a set of tyres for my Daytona 675 I'm going to tour the South Island of NZ this Summer. Cheers
iv done the alpes in 2015, Val d'isère and Italy border, it's awesome place, you are welcoming the summers with other motorcyclist and it's cheap to stay there. In 2016 i did the picos de europa in spain, amazing roads, good temperature and good,scenery, more unknow than alpes but still enjoyable, better for roads quality in my opinion
What an amazing review. The best review ever. Keep it up. And please can anyone name the tracks used in this video. Keep it up MCN. This guy is perfect for this job. BTW sick bike, sick shots.✌️👍
Excellent work, Joe! Thoroughly enjoyed the video and the report on MCN, would you guys mind sharing your route map somewhere? Now I just have to find out how to ship my 765 RS across the pond from West Coast US to Europe, lol...
It sure was a nice way to get somewhere near your destination without the discomfort and fatigue that's for sure. It worked a dream for me. - Joe www.bikeshuttle.co.uk
Does make me laugh seeing all those GSs on bike shuttle. I tour on a Daytona 675R. Sure it's not for everyone, in fact after 15 years touring on sports bikes it's not for me for much longer., changing this year. But once you're on the good roads, being on a sporty bike makes it worth it! But surely the point of a 1200GS is you can get there easily? If your going to get your bike shipped there, ride something more fun for when you're there... I guess you don't have a global explorer 'image' then though.
american rider here, last week i rode 1200 miles to the tail of the dragon in north carolina it rained the whole way there, it rained while we where there, rode the dragon 3 times in the rain, how do you make an epic trip and then not ride the roads you came to ride because of bad weather, i did it on a 2013 striple with no ride modes or traction control, 2500 miles in 6 days....
hey mcn, more of this guy please ;)
Not a lot of youtube videos are worth 25 minutes these days, but this was definitely was. A trip to be added to any enthusiast's bucket list without a doubt. Good job @MCN
So this is how it feels when you see your dreams being lived by other person on video
100%. was at st Bernards pass a few years ago and was dreaming of riding there
I travelled in Sweden, Norway and Danmark with my Street triple 675 in 2016, and I really loved the bike....

This guy is obviously very passionate about what he does. What a great asset to MCN. More from this guy please MCN he's absolutely nailed it.
this is one of my favorite videos on youtube

I was so infatuated with the bike and the stunning scenery that I'd genuinely forgotten that I'd been watching a review update!
Brilliant, mate!
Seriously incredible.
This was great! Roads, bike, rider and a story to tell. Your staff photographer is actually a good writer.
By far one of my favourite MCN videos. This guy is amazing!!!
that bikeshuttle service is absolutly amazing!! Wish we had something like that in germany...
Idk what it is about Joe, but I love watching his reviews. He just seems to genuinely love riding and comes off as just a normal guy you would run into on the street. Hope to see more from him.
I've never considered a 765RS but this video...really makes you wanting one...
Simply awesome vid! Combination of a motorcycle, a competent photographer and such scenic road - cannot get anything better than that!
This is the kind of motorcycle video that makes us wanna go out and ride.
My RS in 4500km:
-Slight coolant leagage (bolts not tightened to 10Nm...)
-"Check engine light" (oxidation on the brake light connector under the fuel tank)
-Clutch lever adjuster spring lost its tension, saw the adjusted wheel turn by the wind blast while on the Autobahn.
-Clutch lever didn't fully return to resting position. It grinded a little against the housing, the debris that came off made the action move heavily.
All quickly fixed (even while on vacation in Germany) while I had a drink at the dealership.
And still ... absolutely LOVE that bike :D
its refreshing to see a bike reviewer take some time and pride in their work and show us the full capabilities of a bike. I just bought this bike from watching this video, thanks a lot man if your ever down in wales ill show you some roads to ride. Good work mate.
How can anyone thumbs down this....you've got to feel sad for their state of mind
Fantastic video. The way you tell it is spot on, have a Street Triple R myself but this thing looks incredible!! Thanks for the video and the efforts you all put into it!
when I told my friend I can't go on any long trips on my striple cause of the wind he showed me this lol
Watching this video is like doing meditation. Great job 👍
That was a brilliant watch. Thanks for the entertainment. Top quality!
I’ve just been and put a deposit down on a 765 RS, had a long test ride today, it was awesome easily the best bike I have ridden!
Just who is this guy.?? What an amazing review of the roads and the machine. Amazing scenery and a super story. I've just watched this from end to end an all I wanna do now is book some transport and go do it myself. Keep up the fantastic work,, motorcycling at its best..
What an awesome video! Those viewers who gave this a thumbs down have obviously got no soul!
Or we don't want to watch this guy complaining about rain for 5 minutes in a supermarket or wait 8 minutes for video footage of the bike which we came here to see. What an idiotic comment.
Fantastic film. Loved every minute.
Bravo! Collecting my 2018 RS once lock down is over.....can’t wait 😎
@8:53 one of the best captures I've seen of the this sweet triple
Epic shots great framing
At 9:50 ... It looked like the 'wall' of game of thrones! And there was the dragon with triumph branding standing....! One of the best mcn reviews till date and best of the street 765....
Wow, amazing quality footage there even on RUclips! Enjoyed watching that
Bellissimo! Love the video mate. Excellent job
This is literally my dream trip I want to make with my dad.
Wauw guys...really amazing movie and great story about going out there and seeking the adventure. Also real nice to share such adventure with an old friend.

Would love some more video's like this one in the near future!
All the best!
Great vlog, great photography/videography. You should do more. Well done.
That's an awesome motorcycle transport service!
What an amazing video! Fantastic filming and Joe is very interesting. That moment at 14:05 made me pucker though!
CBRboy1717 Me too. Fuck that. 😂
Love this video to bits!!!! Can watch it again and again and again!!! Loved how u were being a bit too adventurous on damp roads!!!
Awesome vid mate, Loved it!
Wow what a nice trip! Wish I could do that with my RS. What a bike though! Thanks for this one. It was awesome. Cheers!!

The filming of these videos and video quality is fantastic these guys have really come up Trumps in the last while this way
That was a pleasure to watch.
Really enjoyed this review and scenery. Great work
Little curiosity: the road at the colle del Nivolet is supposed ti take you into nature - that Is the whole point of the road. Anyway I've been there last August with the 2020 RS and I loved every Moment of that trip. Cheers :)
Great video. I really like this type of format for an update
eview. In fact, the update you posted on this bike last month inspired me to buy one.
The thinking man's Richard Hammond...
loved this video! i Just had a RS for the weekend, absolutely loved the bike!
I really enjoyed that, thank you.
can't wait to get this bike in spring
Wow, that video was mindblowing! =) I would also like to see a video where you go through the accessories as well.
Fantastic video!
You’re making me think about re-planning my trip.
The bike is drool worthy.
Definitely a Jizz Machine. 👌🏻

I hope you get better weather next time, brilliant footage! Keep it up...
Awesome job, excellent video you've really stepped up the game for MCN. Look forward to your next one, you've also sold me a set of tyres for my Daytona 675 I'm going to tour the South Island of NZ this Summer. Cheers
very nice trip & beautiful bike :-)
I love the headlights, just as the rest of this machine. Sporty and refined... such a beauty !
Lucky guy ^^
Great vlog mate, sounds like you had an awesome time :)
Simply brill vid. More please!
that was the best motorcycle video ever!!!!
Inspiring and brilliant
What an epic ride!
iv done the alpes in 2015, Val d'isère and Italy border, it's awesome place, you are welcoming the summers with other motorcyclist and it's cheap to stay there. In 2016 i did the picos de europa in spain, amazing roads, good temperature and good,scenery, more unknow than alpes but still enjoyable, better for roads quality in my opinion
Triumph should pay you commission for this. Probably sold a couple of bikes over this vid. Great report
Cracking vid 👌🏻 Looked like an epic trip
Nice piece of film.👍 really enjoyed it 👌
Lovely looking bike
Sounds great !
*But* those headlights
I can't get used to them!
I own an RS too it's an amazing bike, nice video !
Finally, MCN did a property RUclips video and not another Child & Neves video! Congrats for growing up.
Brilliant! Keep it up.
Brilliant video Joe
What an amazing review. The best review ever. Keep it up. And please can anyone name the tracks used in this video. Keep it up MCN. This guy is perfect for this job. BTW sick bike, sick shots.✌️👍
200 miles on a striple is that the norm??
First MCN video I've seen in a long time that was worth watching, give this man a pay rise! 👍
Wow.. I really need to go do a european trip next biking season. Got a Suzuki GSX 1250FA. The Triumph will be my next bike.
I use the same leathers. 👍 Only difference is that mine are covered in Swedish midges, dragon-flies and other bugs. 😅
Amazing....
Thanks for this video. I love you!
Bro this is awesome raid I love it and thank you so much bro❤️
Great vid and very inspiring, good job
Made my day❤️
Awesome stuff, what a trip! :-)
Excellent work, Joe! Thoroughly enjoyed the video and the report on MCN, would you guys mind sharing your route map somewhere? Now I just have to find out how to ship my 765 RS across the pond from West Coast US to Europe, lol...
There is a lot of twisty roads in this video.
May be you can recommend 5 of them what should I take this year?
awesome experience. aren't the leathers a bit of an overkill though?
Great video and great style.. Like watching a mate
Thanks Dermont. :)
Great video really upping your game recently mcn, don't get the concept of not riding your bike there tho!
Nice one, bike shuttle seems a great idea as well especially for us sport bike guys
It sure was a nice way to get somewhere near your destination without the discomfort and fatigue that's for sure. It worked a dream for me. - Joe www.bikeshuttle.co.uk

I guess you don't have a global explorer 'image' then though.
U156943 yeah I've toured on all my sport bikes but wouldn't fancy riding to Switzerland on my 1299 to be perfectly honest 😂
awesome video, brilliant !
Awesome video 👍
Planning on the RS next year...... I'm a total pusy when it comes to heights and some of those bits had me going nnnnnooooooo lol 🤣
Dreams are made of this...
Fantastic!!
Great vid nicely filmed.
amazing video. keep it up. big shout out from India. can u pls share a link to the still photos here? amazing they are.
the col de nivolet its awesome , where they filmed the bus scene in the italian job
Well dunn, Nice work.
Great video!!👌👌
Great ride!👍
Charley and Ewan sure started something with the support vehicle.
