Great review! I have a 2023 RS… Regarding the one negative, a Racetorx gear shaft support sorts the false neutrals. Cheap as chips and easy to fit. 👍
Great tip! I’ll pin this ✌🏻
Bought my '22RS last February, coming up on one full year of ownership and its been absolutely phenomenal. I did almost 800 miles in a single weekend on it. Really have to ride one to understand it really is that good
Totally agree! I wasn't that interested, until I rode and now everytime I see one on the road, I want to buy one!
I had the Speed Triple Rs1200 , I tried the Street Triple and it’s ok but it doesn’t have the adrenaline rush of the Speed Triple, good bike for London and the uk with its 20 30 mph speed limits tho 👌🏽
It’s good in town because it’s gutless under 9000 rpm , that’s not a bad thing if you enjoy riding in traffic all day
@@Cartsp70is it really true ?
Love the editing style you have its epic. I have only just discovered your channel however im now going straight to watch the short film you created and genuinely cannot wait. Keep it up man your smashing it. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your content. Thank you 👏🏼🔥
Such kind words, thank you Jason. PLENTY more to come here so stick around 🤘🏻
You won my subscription! Your videos are an amazing balance of awesome/epic/cinematic/educational.
Thank you so much! Glad to have you here.
one of my fav bikes ever made, idk how anyone could wany anything else
Gorgeous video, my friend. Your editing style inspires me to try new things.
I must go and watch your short video! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much mate! Appreciate you.
Love your channel mate. It will grow and grow if you just keep loading the content. I’ve got this bike and you might find you need to use the clutch around town to shift gears. The quick shifter is designed to work when you’re really on it, I’ve never had a problem in those conditions but I have when I’ve been lazy and tried to use it at slower take off speeds. Keep up the great work. P.S. love your instagram page too, awesome photography.
David, thank you for your kind words! That’s the plan, just sharing my passions with whoever is interested mate! Good point, I guess over time you’d get accustomed to it, but had to admit once I got used to the quick shifter I got real lazy real quick 😂
Great content bro. Keep going. Really impressive with the visual and in depth review.
Thanks, will do!
I have just bought this bike 2024 model for my first A bike from a CBT license and OMG its hell of a machine from the Benelli leonchino 125cc, yep i went straight to this lol stalled it twice at 241mi so far its amazing!
Great video and review. Fantastic presentation and videography, keep up the great work my friend! 😁🙌
Thank you Phil! Happy new year mate
Great video and editing! Keep up the good work mate
Thanks so much!!
Love this - editing as 🔥 as this bike!
Thank you 🙌 Glad you enjoyed!
First time watching one of you videos. Will be keeping an eye out for more.
Thank you! Glad you're here.
Superb editing... Please make more videos like this
Thank you, I will absolutely! Thanks for the comment.
Hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Great basic no B/S review well done I've just subscribed.
I'm currently daily commuting on a Triumph Trident 660 with a quick shifter with no problems with it.
Thanks Jeremy! Glad to have you.
How is the low end and middle performance of trident , I live a city with heavy traffic.
Nice video man, really nice camera work and great production quality. You've nailed this review, I ha e had a cosmic yellow RS for 9 months now, the only dislike I ha e is the same as yours. Unfortunately, the quick shifter between 1st and 2nd can sometimes hit a nuetral 😅. It is definitely to do with how precise you are on the lever. If you are near the south of England, feel free to use my bike for a follow up to this. I also have a gold line 22 street scrambler (Triumph through and through). Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Thanks so much! Very kind. It’s strange isn’t it? I thought I got the hang of it and then every now and then I hit a big fat N right when it matters. I’ll love to take you up on that mate! Send me a DM on instagram if you are over there: @willies_wheels
I liked & subscribed.
I bought the 675 new, still have it.
Thanks for being here!
AWESOME VIDEO! However, knock the brightness down a notch you're blinding me in my dark office trying to watch this LMAO but nah great stuff
😅 thanks Marcus
Got the R and Wat an amazing bike it is.
Yea, can imagine. Beautiful machines!
1st to second is a big shift through neutral on any bike - a slightly heavier kick sorts the job.!! Interesting previous comment on the lever support thingy which might be worth looking into.!! Great revue.👍
Thanks Ian! Agreed
Its an amazing bike. Buy it now, i have it and it's damn near flawless...
That headlight is finally to grow on me. It's different, tomorrow's retro.
Totally agree! The shape of the DRL is killer
Would love to see the review of the new scrambler 1200x, if you got a chance to ride one do make a review out of it.
Great review of the RS.
Thank you! Yes I hope to absolutely. Will be good to compare against my scrambler 1200 XE
I used to Europe tour on a 2014 street triple R only reason I sold it was to have cruise control on next bike .better later than never the speed triple had cruise control as standard for years
The speed triple 765 has totally slipped under my radar until the announcement of the “Daytona” 660.... years ago I didn’t like the strange hornet look eyes and just ... forgot about it .... Adjustable suspension on my next motorcycle is a must, I wanted the more relaxed seating position than the r7 and the 8r/trident/cbr650r suspension isn’t good enough, the new Daytona 660 got me thinking “ ok at what price point does triumph offer what I want ? “ well for 700 dollars more THEY OFFER A MONSTER. Seriously 700 more gets 1) 40 lbs lighter 2) brembo 3) 23 more hp/12 more ft/lbs 4) 6 axis imu 5) fully adjustable suspension front/rear ..... and suddenly I didn’t even notice the light cluster lol
700 dollars more for what I just mentioned.
It’s a no brainer imo. Unless you specifically are after what the 660 offers (which, despite the name drama I think is a cracking offer) I’d say the street triple rs is easily the best triumph in their lineup.
@@Willieswheels The best buy is the R. Suspension is easily good enough for the road. If your going to track it, yes, RS.
I know right. In fairness though you have to credit the other bike $1000.00 or more for the full bodywork but still for $1700.00 it’s still a no brainer

0:11 holy shit that's amazing!
0:12 oh, i remember now...
24' 765R in white. Love mine.
How much was it. If you don't mind?
@@chriswest2290 $15,700 CAD after taxes and fees. $1100 cost of borrowing on top. Put 6k down. It’s $300 a month for 36 months now.
Lovely vid.
Thanks Yamz!
Bought mine in June 2023 😊
I love mine, just wish I hadn't crashed it 😂
I'm waiting for it to be delivered back to me so I can get it ready for the summer.
Oh gosh 🥺 hope you’re ok!
@@Willieswheels Happened in August, so I'm well on the mend. Enjoying the slower pace of a T120 for the moment XD
765 street triples have always been great Folks buy any one of them you can afford and you will be happy. I wouldn't buy the low variant as it lacks enough ground clearance for me but all the rest especially the R if you ride mainly on the roads are brilliant.
Regarding the comments about the quick shifter problem, my dealer (Triumph Norfolk) told me at the outset that you shouldn't use it between 1st and 2nd as no quick shifter likes going through neutral to find the next gear. Strange that other dealers don't give the same advice?
That’s good advice! To be fair it does make sense doesn’t it… 😅
Amazing ❤
Thanks 😄
Bought a 2021 new and all ive had to do is change oil and keep it in tires. Not one hiccup.
How much are you getting them for out the door in england ?
On my 2nd Street triple 765rs, whats not to like. Cheers Willie.
Yes Dave. I see you’ve gone for my favourite colour too, enjoy!
How tall are u? Glad to hearing a big man felt comfortable on this bike! I should probably try it myself
6’3” / 190cm and long legs. I was surprised just how comfortable the bike was!
My dream bike
Saw one on the way into London today… had a chat with him and he’s as happy as I was on it!
The 2024 is the best iteration to date. Love the new contour of the tank on the 24, didn't think they could make this bike more comfortable than it already was but here we are. The RS is the better buy for so many reasons, for looks the belly pan and rear seat cowl, for performance you got Brembo Stylema up front and Ohlins STX40 in the back not to mention the ever so superior Supercorsa SP tires make you feel glued to the road. To the guy who thinks you shill because you didn't have enough criticism about the bike, this bike is just that good. The only thing Triumph could do to improve this bike would be to make a fully fairing'd version of the bike and don't touch the riding position, that would be the best bike ever made, or at least it would finally dethrone the Tuono.
Absolutely agree 100%. Seen people make aftermarket fairing for racing which is very cool. I’d LOVE to see a Daytona 765 with full fairings and this bike underneath
@@Willieswheels I agree 100% which is why I find it so strange that Triumph have launched the new Daytona 660 which is inferior in every way
I should be picking mine up in about 6 weeks, ordered it last july 😁
Perfect timing too. Enjoy!
What... is that how long you have to wait??
@@Ventcis no I chose to wait, they couldn't get a yellow one till Oct/Nov which didn't work for me.
@@technohamster4783 I'm thinking of buying a yellow one in the next 2-3 months. I didn't know that you have to wait that much. Are you living in the UK?
@@Ventcis yeah in UK, as said I chose to wait as I could have had a red one in a month but yellow would have been in winter, I decided to wait as I don't really ride in winter and I could also save up to buy it and not need finance. Other dealers maybe different too.
Hey Willie, the windscreen option- does it deflect wind well or do you still get hit pretty hard in the chest?
I reckon useful tucked in on track, but at motorway speeds I didn’t feel any difference unless fully tucked.
1. The tach is terrible but it's consistent power delivery makes it almost unnecessary.
2. The range is not fabulous.
Otherwise it's perfect, for my part.
Why I am reluctant to trade my 2019 765r 😊
have my eyes on the Cosmic Yellow. still deciding if it's worth it to upgrade from my Trident 660.
Cosmic yellow is my favourite colour by such a long way
It’s really Great motorcycle. If you have some day opportunity too test Z900RS, please do this, it’s also amazing motorcycle. 😉
I’d love to. I’ve heard really great things about this bike. I don’t have contacts with Kawasaki but I’ll put some feelers out and see what I can do!
Quickshifter issue has probably to do with not surpassing the necessary criteria in order to shift, from the top of my head you have to surpass 3000rpm for example.
I believe that’s it yep - and mainly for 2>5 not 1>2
The shift from 1st to 2nd is a lot further than 2nd to 3rd etc.. I had a after market quick shifter on my 2012 speed triple, and don't think I ever had a issue with missing 1st to 2nd.. You have to be committed with the force you put on the shifter. I believe the Motogp guys have a lock out feature via a button or knob on the controls.. My uncle recently bought a 2023? street triple rs same colour as the bike you have. He had a issue with gears in the box not being tightened up and in the end destroying the box so I was told.. Now I don't know if this was a Triumph thing, or whether he is just one giant bell end that can't ride. However I know they've had lots of issues with the Speed triple 1200 over the passed few years.. Over in Western Australia we have quite a few 2021-2023 speed triple with roughly 2000kms up for sale and just not selling.. Anyways you have gained a sub from the other side of the world. Great review. English born, Aussie transferred
Gday! Glad you’re here and thanks for the comment 🙏🏻 I can’t pass judgement on your uncle but that’s an interesting insight, it’s hard to cover any mechanical/longevity in a 2 week loan review which is sometimes frustrating. So thanks for sharing your experience!
Should we still buy if the local triumph dealer has worst after purchase servicing?
You got an alternative close by? 🤞🏻
Hi. Glad you love the bike. But how does a bike that has a 30-40% issue of 1st to 2nd changes going into neutral (I think that's what you said) get bike of the year or such a great review. Isn't that an instant fail compared to most other bikes in the category? Regards.
Since filming this I’ve heard it’s designed for 2nd-6th really and when accelerating. So when I was using it in traffic at slower speeds from 1st-2nd it’s not really an ideal use for it.
Where did you film this video? I'm on the South coast of the UK and it's lovely and sunny, but Minus 5 and more salt on the roads than an Anchovy 😂
This was back in September! I’m woefully behind on uploads. Got 8 or so more videos in the pipeline 😂 this is mostly in Walton/Kingston area
Seams like enough space for tall riders. What's the rider height?
Im 6’ 3” - had plenty of space & that was loaded up for a 5 hour ride!
Did you not notice the vibration in the bars?
Nope? Smooth as!
Hi from Brazil mate. Have you ever ridden the 2016/2017 Speed Triple R 1050? If yes, how does it compares with this bike? These are the last Speed Triples that arrived here. And costs about 42K here, whereas this Street Triple 765RS here costs 69K nowadays. I've ridden the 2022 765RS and found it kind of weak in low and mid-range, compared with my 2012 BMW F800R. Please, share your thoughts. Thanks and best regards.
Oi amigo! Tudo bem? I haven’t ridden an older triple just yet - but it is on my list! Unfortunately don’t have any useful experience for you mate, desculpa.
@@Willieswheels Thanks a lot, mate. Please, share your thoughts whenever you can. Best regards.
Now that's what I've been trying to tell everyone!!!! Doesn't that fork finish look a hell of a lot better than those ghastly gaudy gold ones?
I love a gold fork done well, but yep absolute agree with you!
What I like least about it is that it doesn't have a fairing. I wish Triumph made this bike into the new Daytona.
I bought my RS in March, it's my third street triple and by far the best, I couldn't believe Triumph could so much improve what was already a great bike but somehow managed it, my only gripe is the TFT, the 2017 was a good TFT, the 2020 not so good and the 2023 by far the worst, it's too cluttered and the lettering and numbers are too small, IMO the more simple one on the Trident and Tiger 660 is a better job that tells you all you require but the TFT is a minor gripe and by no means a deal breaker as I love the bike.
Worst dash in the business, but the best bike lol.
Interesting insight! Sadly I haven’t ridden previous models to compare but didn’t find the TFT to be massively troublesome. Can see your point though the font is super small! I’ll see if I can get a trident dash next to a street and see how they compare. Thanks!
Can’t be worse than my scrambler? 😂
Is yours eating oil ?
@@sileniu no, I've done just over 2,000 miles and it's fine but my 2021 model went through a lot of oil.
Sir how tall are u for reference. New subscriber
Hi! Thanks for being here. 6ft 3”.
if I didnt had my 2 motorcycles (Monster 797 + Monkey125) this would be my bike
Mine is more of a financial freedom issue 😂 I’d have one if I had spare cash! One day.
How tall are you??? Thanks
6’3” 😀
Thank you. Does it fit with you? Do you feel it comfortable? I'm 6.2 tall, i'm not sure if the bike fit right for me
I don’t like the layout of the tft display especially the rev counter
I need to check out an older model and compare! 🤔
Well at least they can’t accuse you of shilling 😂🤣
Moto 2 versions are all sold out if what I've been told is accurate.
Yea they sold out on launch, standard triumph 🥲
Just go buy it. Truth.
Fun on curvy road✊🔥a holligan bike🤩but not so comfortable 😩Mt 09 are more comfotable🤙
Interesting! I’d like to try an MT09 for sure. We did London > Amsterdam in a day in absolute comfort!
I just love the red. Can’t buy it, but I can admire it from afar. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
I preferred the silver at first but the red really grew on me! I’d go red or *that* yellow
Constructive criticism...... you need to decide if you're reviewing the 2023 or 2024 version as your title and content are conflicting.
It’s the 2024 spec 👍🏼
competition? I havent ridden any but i read reviews? LOL
Sadly can’t ride all the bikes in the world - maybe one day.
Just buy one 😂
I'm dead 😂
Do they burn oil ?
why they made those front lamps so ugly?
I like them! The DRL is wicked
I'll never get over how goofy the front headlight cluster looks.
Mine is a hard starter. A real stain on a brilliant bike.
Anyone here not tall enough for this bike or it’s just me? 🥺
Sadly not me, I’m often too big!
I'm 5'8' and clear my 2015 Street Triple R almost flat footed, and this here bike looks a tad too tall for my comfort factor.
The R is actually what you should be buying. Most people don’t need the RS, and will actually enjoy the R on the street far more. Triumph did this intentionally. The R is the road bike that’s track capable, while the RS is the track bike that’s street capable. I’d rather have the one that’s better for everyday spirited riding rather than the one that’s best when being ridden at full tilt.
Depends if you spend most of your time on track 😉
@@Willieswheels Yes that’s my point. Most people don’t spend a lot of time on track.
That dash layout is utter garbage, other then that its hard to find a flaw other then the looks, and hats subjective from person to person.
I was so hyped so I went and test drove the 765RS. I was disappointed beyond believe. The throttle fueling for on off throttle is abrupt and annoying. The engine barely makes a sound and has zero character, whilst other brands make loud bikes even with the latest euro BS. The engine is ok up top and you can tell that the bike has good handling and brakes, but my god was the bike sterile. The dash is also not good nor interesting.
I was looking to buy one, but honestly the CB650R is way better road bike and the Duke 890R is a better sporty / track bike.
It’s still got that alien / insectoid headlight thing. Such a shame.
Its always had it … ALWAYS . I love it 🥰
I absolutely love this gen. In any reflection it looks so cool on the DRL.
Really??? , you can see them when you're riding it.
It grew on me especially in yellow! Looks like and angry wasp 🐝
@@matthewcumberland6877 you do know what the word reflection means 😂😂
Nothing like a review that begins with thanking someone for a loaner bike. So the only thing imperfect about the bike was hitting neutral between 1st and 2nd. You are correct, that was pure shill. Thumbs down.
Ride one and let me know what you don’t like… I’m highlighting that it’s a loan & that it’s not a paid advertisement to be as honest as possible. I’m not a full time journalist just a passionate rider who’s fortunate enough to be riding bikes from brands I love. I will be enthusiastic if it’s good and I might miss things because I only have a short time with each bike, which is why I love chatting in the comments with people who own the bike I’m featuring. That’s my experience, if you don’t like it you don’t need to watch it. Thanks for stopping by!
It’s a great bike chassis & power is superb, but it’s ugly as hell. You get off the bike and it’s looks fugly. The headlights and front end is shocking.
Agree on older models but the last 2 iterations have been spot on for me. The reflection of the DRL in cars & windows looks epic.
