Awesome information mate. Exactly what I was looking for as a 475 cam fence sitter. I would love the extra poke but would be gutted to ruin the "relaxed cruising" characteristics of my M8 so this was really helpful. Thanks again
Thanks for watching and your comments, another video on the way soon. I’ve fitted a lollipop baffle, which has improved torque and helped with the noise, which was a bit much, I’m getting it dyno’d again soon, but if it hasn’t improved enough I’ll swap it out, for either a Redshift 468 or Screaming Eagle 462 power cam.
@@sweetrides8418 Texas Baby! We do ultra long distance for time on Dynas. Came off a 103 2014 Dyna Low Stepped up to Dyna Low Rider S with the !!) Screaming Eagle. Ran 1000 Miles in 18 hours then did 1360 in 26. When are you coming down to Ride to Sturgis bro?
@@LJSiar I wish, Unfortunately I have a demanding job that doesn’t pay too well, RU-vid is just a hobby for me. I’ve done a west coast tour and visited New York and spent three weeks in Canada last year, definitely want to see more of the states. Your rides sound epic, not sure I could manage those miles though 😩
@@sweetrides8418 Its basically crawling when I arrive at the Full throttle Saloon. Sturgis will TOP them all. Do a video and right it off, Cheers! Skål!
I have the exact same problem on my Fast Johnny with a 475...Riding at low speeds is a challenge. I did get Ohlins front and rear and Berringer brakes with Lyndal rotors. I love it but it was also fun with just a pipe. Need another bike now:). Cheers
Hi Tifani, I have fitted a lollipop baffle, which has helped slightly, it’s going back on the dyno soon, but if that doesn’t work it’s going to be another cam change 😩. Thanks for watching 👀 👍
I don't like the new square headlight, or the squared-off shapes of the tank. I wish H-D would stop trying to copy Indian and other bikes that have been copying H-D. I also wish the new CEO didn't gut like 70% of the available models. Seems like a solid bike though. I love the blacked-out motor.
Hi Jeff, good to hear from you again 👍 The looks have definitely grown on me, but I agree up to a point, as long as it’s still recognisable as a Harley and things don’t go too far.
I really liked the Pan America and very nearly bought one. I had sold my Ducati sport bike and was looking at getting an adventure bike and exploring some gravel back roads. (I live in NewZealand and there's no shortage of gravel roads here.) There were two reasons I didnt end up getting the Harley.. The resale here is very low and then, as i was about to press go and buy one, I read an article on the troubles some had had with the PA and it put me off. I ended up buying a 1250GS but often wish i had got the Harley. I was tempted by the brand and quite liked te unique style.
@@rosco950ss7 Hi, thanks for your story, I can’t blame you for going for the GS, it’s a tried and trusted formula, the Pan did have a few issues when 1st released. But im informed that they have been sorted now. The resale value is a concern, they certainly don’t hold their value like the traditional Harleys, probably because non Harley riders are unlikely to buy one, which is a shame, it’s a good bike.
When i was in my 20s/30s id have loved to own one of these, they would have been my absolute dream bike - but im in my 50s now and I'd like a bit more comfort, but they still look bloody fantastic!!
😂 I’m taking it that you’re an Aussie then? The “too much” title doesn’t refer to power, just the way the cam changes the ride ability of the bike. Anyway thanks for watching 👍
Nothing with an inline triple will ever be a perfect anything. Is not possible to properly balance that engine. It will always vibrate, fatiguing both itself and the rider.
There is no perfectly balanced MC engine, except for the I6 in a gold wing. Every other configuration has some kind of unbalanced aspect. Modern triples from triumph are more than balanced enough. See? Facts.
@@dddon513 you all seem to be only concerned with what the rider can feel? After being insulated from the vibrations by fancy engine mounts and handlebar weights. I’m not impressed if the rider thinks it’s smooth enough, I want an engine that is truly smooth. That is a large part of what makes some engines last, and others not.
Hi Sam, you may be right, but my twin cam Fat Boy never felt anything like this, although different engines may react uniquely to a similar cam. Thanks for watching 👀 👍
This is by far one of the best review videos I seen. I own a low rider st and have literally the same set up you have. One has to be realistic with what the bike can do. It is a cruiser after all jejeje but I do love to surprise sport bikes and beat them on the highway Cheers mate thanks for the video
Great video . First time on the channel. The production quality is way higher than your view count.! The big channels always get the framing wrong and have graphics from Word 98, but you nailed it. The STriple is the best sounding bike ever. Its definitely on my to buy list. I think I only need the R now it has the LCD screen also. A striple ridden with skill is faster than a litre bike with no skill. The 10 grand bracket is so contested yet this is king. I totally agree its a masterpiece although i havent ridden the MT09 yet. Is that the next video then ?
@@JamWellMoto Oh right. So my mate who’s spent 25k on a Panigale made in Italy got it because he couldn’t afford a street triple made in Thailand. 😂 🤦🏻
Wait till the dash display dies. You'd have to change the display, immobiliser, and ecu which will cost you an arm and a leg. The bike will not start with the dash display damaged. Basically you'd be stuck with an enormous brick with wheels. Never again another Triumph for me.
Warranty will 💯 pay for that and if you keep the bike for up to 3 years it’s no issue whatsoever, I had faults on my 1200 and they gave me a brand new bike because they were taking too long to fix mine . No hassle at all . Destination Triumph Solent were amazing 🤩
@@Cartsp70 Sorry, that was for limtc. Anyhoo, that’s great news for you. As you say, Triumph seem to fix anything no problem if its under warranty. Also I ordered some service tools (I do my own) and they arrived next day. Good riding 👍
I put the stage 2 in my 117 except I installed 30/30 cam, for me it changed the bike for the better not only in performance but other components to hopefully extend the life of the engine
@@sweetrides8418 The power is linear and from what I've read iy comes on earlier than the 475 so putting around on it s not to bad, M8s like to hang around upper RPMs anyway so like you said you just have to adjust a bit, and also the 475 is bit temperamental when it comes to exhaust so you could experiment to see if that changes things for the better
I looked at both the street triple and the mt-09. To my eye the Triumph is superior in fit and finish. The mt-09 was more upright and comfortable to sit on, but lacks astheticltly. Between the r and the rs I prefer the r dash and slightly more relaxed seating position. The r has pretty bland color choices.
Same old wives tales from someone ‘looking’. I’ve had both, the plastics on the Yamaha are actually sturdier, the finish is as good as the Triumph, even after 6 years of being thrashed and ridden through the winter. No problems at all with reliability or finish. The Yamaha has way more grunt and more fun.. I’ve got the Triumph as my sunny day bike, it’s easier going than the yam, and have a tracer mt09 for everything else.
I’ve got the ‘R’ and very happy with it, it gives me more than I need to be honest. The only bug bare for me is the one piece exhaust, I would have loved to just whip on a new ‘Race fit’ end can….😢
Hi Thomas, I think they moved away from the round head lights because they wanted it to look more modern, rather than retro, but I know what you mean, the old ones do look cool. Thanks for watching.
Coming from a 2021 MT09 sp I test rode the rs fully intending on buying one but the engine left me disappointed compared to the Yamaha cp3, almost everything else on the bike I loved.
Understandable, the Yamaha has more torque due to its bigger capacity, but put the RS in sport or track mode and give it the beans, I feel the advantage it has in handling outweighs what it gives away in torque, but only my opinion. I’m hoping to test the new MT09 in the next few weeks
I have previously owned a Speed triple 1050 and test rode the new 1200 Speed, but preferred the Street 765 which is much more fun and flickable, in my opinion its the perfect bike. Cheers sweet rides good video.
Very informative Great bike and great value considering what you get No wonder it’s on your wish list😉 Sling a leg over the new MT09 SP when it comes out and give us your views
100% agreed. I've no idea why Triumph didn't make this the platform for the new Daytona rather than the 660 platform. All to do with sales and marketing I guess.
Great review… I have the big brother which is very similar in styling but obviously more power. However the Street has more than enough for UK roads. Keep up the great work… Subbed!
i have a 21 harley ultra with stage 2 its comfortable for sure with me and passenger but for a touring bike i do not travel far at all. pretty much ride around town and 100 mile trip days. only time i take long trip which is to the mountains which is 200 mile one way. So would this bike work for passenger?
I just rode my '22 765RS 320 miles today because i felt the need to just get away for a day. Rode it until i felt tired enough to pull over and find dinner and a hotel for the night, and back tomorrow to make work on monday 😅 There are definitely faster bikes out there, and more specialized, but for my one and done jack of all trades i love everything about mine. Very sporty performance in a package i can ride all day.
Great Video! I am interested in what the modifications did to your fuel economy? I have an Ultra Limited and I am interested in putting in either an S&S 475 cam or a Wood 22XE cam. My only hesitation is that I take a couple of long touring trips with my riding buddies. Their bikes are all stock, and they like to go up to 200 miles before stopping for fuel. I had a friend years ago that put a cam into his 2008 Ultra, and his fuel milage went way down. We were having to stop every 150 miles to keep his bike running. So, this is where my concerns come from. What was your milage stock and what is it now with the 475. Again, great video and thanks in advance for your comment on fuel consumption!!!
Hi, so in stock trim I was getting about 220 miles per tank, now about 180 depending on how hard I ride, but the tank on softails is a gallon smaller than a touring tank, hope that helps 👍
