It's 2020 and I bought this same 2012 StreetTriple in black and gold. This bike is by far the most fun I've ever had riding. The angry wasp look with the color scheme really makes my bike stand apart out on the rode. I've put over 6000 miles on in it in five months and every mile was memorable. Like you I would highly recommend buying this bike if you're lucky enough to see one come on the market.

@tet5ujin 4 года назад

I love that you've kept this bike from new and continue to feature it on your channel. I opted for a new Street Triple R this year as my first "big bike" after passing my test last year and holding on to my 125 for a year, this was in part thanks to seeing your reviews and features on your bike and the modern equivalents. The bike is amazing and I've no doubt I made the right choice, but I agree your bike has a better looking headlight setup and exhaust, but I was certain I wanted ABS. BTW, you can still get the bar end mirrors, at least for the current models from a Triumph dealer, as I almost opted for them, but chose the heated grips instead. I hope you keep the triple for years to come, its really an iconic bike.

@invictalad 4 года назад

Another great video Andy! I commented on your first street triple r video stating that your video was one of the things that help cement my want for one. 18 months later and I’ve just sold mine for exactly what I paid for it all that time ago. Was sad to see it go, absolutely fantastic bike ,an absolute riot, perfect power for the road, but buying ex’s out of houses had to take priority. Ever since then I can’t stop looking at what I fancy next!

@joeski4541 4 года назад

I have an identical bike with almost identical modifications, and also bought mine from Laguna in June 2012. I agree wholeheartedly with your comments, it’s an absolutely fabulous motorcycle. I have test ridden countless other machines but none have ever tempted me away from the STR. It is, as you say, very much a future classic and I too have know intention of ever parting with it.

@portaltwo 4 года назад

Snap! Same here until I fell under the siren song of the new KTM Duke 890R. As much as I dearly miss my Triumph, I'm loving the new KTM. Just hit the break-in and first service mark - being done in 2 days.

@markfoster2033 4 года назад

I run a 2014 675R & it's the best road bike I've owned. The 16 mile early morning commute to work is a hoot down the local country lanes. Mine's also Phantom black but with a red sub frame & I reckon it's the best looking version,only electronics are ABS. It's a keeper & one day I plan on storing it in the house just so that I can look at it. I'm planning on going touring on it next,,up to NW Scotland when the Corona restrictions get lifted.

@bradh5613 4 года назад

Hey TMF I love when you review your Street Triple R because I still have my 2012 Street Triple R in phantom black and gold rims... so... your bike essentially! It’s fun to see and hear you review it so fondly and you remind me of what an excellent choice I made 8 years ago! Can’t imagine selling it, too much fun. Maybe when I’m ancient? Or maybe not...

Completely agree with your assessment of this bike. I too have a 2012R, and also think this combination of the fox eye lights with the under seat pipes is the best looking of the Street Triple models. After 40 plus years on two wheels, and more than that number of bikes, this is one of my all-time favorites. I have been tempted to get another just to have a backup :-)

@jaymalihoudis4375 4 года назад

Really enjoyed your video. I got the last one they had available from Laguna Maidstone 2012 and will never let it go. Talking of long tours. I can say it's a joy. I rode mine to Greece and back two years ago and thoroughly loved the experience. Especially around the Austrian Alps... where everyone had their big touring bikes and I could really have so much more fun on those amazing windy roads. As you said no issues. I got there and back with not one hiccup and I planned for everything! Never fails to put a smile on my face this bike

Agree also. I have a 2003 bike with nothing electronic. All analog. No abs or gear indicator (with the exception of a neutral light). There is something refreshing about getting on a bike, and just going. Not looking at your screen, no hunting through menus for the desired riding mode, no gasonline/petrol range, no limp mode, no fancy lights from a tft, no setting up bluetooth connections.

Can't see the mt07 aging as well was main reason for getting the triumph. I have noticed the kickstand seems a little weak vs the mt07. Great reviews as always sir.

Fab video. Beautiful bike. I have a '61 plate I bought second hand. Be careful as they age. I've had a host of issues: - Coolant seal failure. - Exhaust rusting & blow. - Rear suspension linkage replacement. - Battery failure. - Electrical faults relating to the starter mechanism. Bear in mind mine is 36k miles and the previous owner wasn't kind to it. Would I buy another one? Hell yes. They're worth every penny.

@simonrushton66 4 года назад

Discovered your channel recently and definitely one of the best out there for biking, really informative, easy to watch. I am just about take the leap in motorcycling FINALLY after a failed attempt 10 years ago due to life, being in my early 40's i now feel im in the better frame of mind too now with kess chance if killing myself so quickly lol. As an experienced sensible rider who owns the very bike id like to get after passing my test. When i did my cbt 10 year aho i took to biking quite easily but still wary being completely inexperienced but do you think it would be a bit too much for a new rider. Im attracted to the street triples but the slighter later version with the longer 1st gear due to it being a very smooth power delivery from what ive seen and coming from car background but only owning straight 6's, v6's and v8's i prefer that smooth delivery as opposed to the sports bikes with that crazy top end power. Thanks for any help and congrats to getting it to the end of this comment lol

Since my days of owning a Trident ( in the B/W days lol ) Triumph never really had a problem with making triples. One could even go back to the BSA Rocket 3 days ( were built at Triumph ) where the Japanese did have problems when they brought out theirs. Many thanks from Down Under.

The ceramic treatment will defiantly make it a lot easier to clean but you have to have a good condition Bike to start with. Ideally a new one. As you performed your magic on it in 2019 when it was seven years old I think Andy has done a sterling job in its upkeep. I have seen as I'm sure you have , many Bikes under 18 months old in a dire state with owners claiming they are mint..... Your detailing job and coating looks to be first class.

@@bradh5613 Hi, if your Triumph was made before I think July 2013, go to your local Triumph Dealer with your VIN and ask them to check for this or any other recalls. If you are not registered with Triumph USA, then you may not be informed directly of any outstanding recalls. If your Bike was used when you bought it, the previous owner may have already had it done. Best of luck.

I had the suspension sorted by a local race bike shop who set the bike up for my weight......A bit of juggling for road use, not track... Also I run the rear tyre ( Pirelli Diablo Rosa 2) at a slightly lower pressure. Here in Spain the roads are in better repair so running the suspension slightly harder is okay....

Very tasteful mods you've done to your bike. I'd have done the same. Thanks for making this vid

Good video TMF. The bike is really looking great and thats the best colour.

Unfortunately due to imposing things like the ULEZ and similar schemes arriving at cities near too many of us - I fear that the older bikes may become like my old Fireblade a lot less desirable when you can't take it places. (Car prices of Euro 5 diesels would be a solid indicator) that said my wife has a 2018 765R with low suspension and she absolutely loves it... great video and I couldn't agree more about the colour schemes (might have made that comment on a previous video) they have been desperately plain Jane lately!

@nivotron960 4 года назад

Cracking video thanks. Share your love of the colour scheme - I have a 2010 ZX10R in black and gold - also no ABS, fancy traction or electronics - pure riding experience, and bloody good fun 👌👍

@travelinben1966 4 года назад

Great looking bike.I particularly like the Ducati Scrambler 1100 style exhaust.Thanks for specifying the 2012 model as the one to go for TMF.👍

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Yes the Scrambler 1100 has a lovely exhaust - artwork almost....

@SurfMusicGoodstuff 3 года назад

How much love can you give/ how much video’s can you make from a bike. But I totally understand. A watched all of you 675r vids, I have exactly the same bike (colours/arrows/...) and I really adore, I have been riddin several comparables (z900, MT09,duke690,...) they didnt came close 2 the overal riding experience, dont need any another bike, especially this 2012 model in phantom black&gold... bring on that new video flyer.

@TheMissendenFlyer 3 года назад

Stay tuned!

Awesome review (as with your earlier 6 year review video) thanks for sharing. I've found a 2nd hand 2012 in the Black and Gold with just over 15,000 km (9300 miles) that I'm going to test ride today/tomorrow 👏 As this will be my 2nd bike owned (after learning on a BMW 310R) I hope the Triumph is just as nimble. My biggest concern is weight when wet and the lack of ABS. Having not ridden anything from my BMW im not sure the actual difference but I guess that what test rides are for right?! Love the colour scheme and the sound. Will definitely investigate some of the added extras youve done as they look really nice. Thanks once again

@TheMissendenFlyer Год назад

Hope the bike is a good one!

@mattiadallapozza5619 4 года назад

I got the same 2012 Phantom Black STR, and the only bike that I'll have over this one is a Tuono 1100 Factory... This could be the only one in substitution (when I'll be able to afford that) but, honestly, I can't imagine to sell it. Everytime I can get a ride it's a joyful experience! Ciao from Italia!!!

@splodge5714 4 года назад

Nice bike. I'd go for one with ABS. The latest Street triples also look great. I always enjoy giving the bike a polish up in the back garden.

I own a 2010 Street triple and I love it. Light , agile and no nothing of all sorts of ridermodes and frankly I do not miss any of these. This bike has such a good base and is so fun to ride. I have tested more comfortable, new bikes but none of them could wipe that smile of my face, when I rode home with my old streety. It is a hooligan and pulls like a train everywhere in the rev range Own child , beautifull child....so I much prefer and have been looking to find an original round headlight triple, but I changed the clear lenses for black led projectors in the original chrome housings. It brought this bike to 2020 lookswise. It is also a black one and I have most of the accessories like yours. I had SC projects cans, but they are way to loud, so I went back to the original cans but I wrapped them black carbon with a nice street triple logo . And one of the best mods is my sargent seat.

@TheMissendenFlyer 3 года назад

Cool!

@applecorp 4 года назад

I had the updated 2013 Street Triple R (the white, black and red one) in mint condition, absolutely loved it to bits in all respects and actually preferred the longer first gear, an absolute rocket. Traded it in as I consolidated 2 bikes I had at the time into having one all rounder to save money. In hindsight regret it now. Your gold black Striple is a beauty though, don't make the mistake I did, lol.

@portaltwo 4 года назад

Argh, it makes me regret even more that I couldn't keep my 2012 Street Triple R last month when I bought my new KTM Duke 890R. Sadly, it had to go (garage space/wife). Mind you, I love the new Duke! Looking forward to your test of the 890 and fervently hoping you like it at least as well as the Triumph!

@SurfMusicGoodstuff 3 года назад

Any thoughts s3 vs duke 890r, which one do you prefer?

@portaltwo 3 года назад

@@SurfMusicGoodstuff If I had to pick all over again? No question, it has to be the Duke. The Striple was huge fun, but the KTM is such a sheer joy to ride. It makes a mediocre rider like me 'feel' like Jack Miller (not ride like him, but you get my drift). So confidence inspiring. Great and usable power and sounds terrific as well, with the optional Akropovic slip-on (that burble on the over-run alone 😁). Speaking of which, I got the exhaust, the quickshifter and the cruise control. If I were doing it again I'd definitely take the Akro and the cruise (surprisingly useful for a bit of relief on any decent straight stretch), but I might well pass on the QS. I find it a bit clunky and, regardless, I tend to ignore it unless I'm really accelerating hard anyway. Personal preference though. Hope this helps!

I must be a tart as well, love the black and gold colour scheme, saw an Africa Twin Adventure in that colour scheme today and my heart skipped a beat. Poole bike night isn’t on at the moment, fingers crossed it will return next year, when it does its every Tuesday evening 6-10 roughly if you do make it down it would be great to meet you.

I was able to score one earlier this year with a set of Zard Penta exhausts and they sound pretty fucking amazing on the overrun.

@dsimon9s29 4 года назад

Thank you for posting. The bike has aged very well. You have done a great job of keeping it in near new condition. I do have a hypothetical question for you. Assume you have a GS (only) and want to add a second bike. Today would you choose today's Street Tripe or today's Speed Twin? I keep looking at both bikes. Would consider the Speed Triple but way too much power for my purposes.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Tough one - Speed Twin marginally but I’m still in the honeymoon period with mine...

@leeberridge6604 4 года назад

If your looking to do a longer ride maybe try and organise a subscriber meet for a gathering of other Striple's. Would make for a great experience. You can't be far from Maidstone (I'm local). Love my own Street R albeit the 13 on model as I wanted ABS for peace of mind. Love your work keep it up
