2017 Triumph Street Triple RS Review : At long last I've got my hands on a brand new, top spec 2017 Triumph Street Triple RS on long term loan from Triumph. This already brilliant bike has been revamped with a new 765cc engine, top spec Brembo brakes, Ohlins suspension and a full electronics package bringing the hooligan middle-weight trumpet bang up to date. Stay tuned for my initial impressions review....

Fast bike.. in fact DVLA are now doing a deal with Triumph where every new customer is automatically issue with 6 points for speeding.

@irvine40 7 лет назад

The review we've all been waiting for!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Hehe :0)

@airtonsoares2664 7 лет назад

Wow, no question that this was by far the best motorcycle review video I've seen thus far. You mentioned specs but stayed away from only regarding numbers. Subbed and I am excited for a comparison between the 2013 and 2017 street triple.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Brilliant - thanks for the kind words and great to have you along! Stay tuned for more on the this bike soon!

@moody9931 5 лет назад

Test rode one last week, you know just to see what all the fuss is about. That was an expensive test ride, I pick it up on Saturday lol

@jaseamondo 7 лет назад

Just thought I'd say how much I appreciate your channel, not been subscribed for massively long but have found your videos very informative and helpful, some of your recommendations for other channels to watch have been great as well. Was literally watching your video about about applying acf50 as I applied it to my new rs yesterday, and then this gets posted today 😁😁. PS you do get both a seat and cowl. Regards Jason.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Jason Stewart Thank you Jason, very kind of you to say so....and thanks for the clarification regarding the seat/cowl...TMF

@bradh5613 7 лет назад

Love your reviews and always find them extremely informative. I also own a 2012 Street Triple R and will be eager to see how they compare. Thanks for your consistently excellent videos!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you Brad - I will be doing a direct comparison of my 2012 versus this bike in the next few days/weeks, so stay tuned for that!

@Below-Average_Joe 5 лет назад

Missenden Flyer, I love your channel, and although I live in the heart of Harley-Davidson country, the American Midwest, I have always loved Triumphs. I finally put my money down on a new, old stock (2016) Street Triple. When I test rode it, the torque almost shoved the bike forward like a one liter V-Twin cruiser! That kind of power on such a light bike is addictive! Thanks for your videos. You helped inspire a lapsed motorcycle lover to get back on the saddle again.

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

Nice one Joe - enjoy!

@rockinginafreeworld3256 7 лет назад

Now this is the review I've been waiting for. Great review and a great bike!

Another informative and most importantly enjoyable video. Such a nice part of the world to ride around. That seems a very sweet bike and you are obviously smitten by it! I look forward to your "unboxing my new Triumph Triple!" Keep up the good work and I look forward to the rest of the reviews.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Great review as always, RS looks fab sounds great. Never really looked that closely at this triple but going to have a better look now . Cheers for all the top work you put into the reviews you put out .

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks TB - appreciate the kind words - TMF

@bobbyblueace 7 лет назад

Great review. I didn't expect anything else as your reviews are always top notch. Where you have really excelled yourself is in convincing me, with your excellent camera work , that this bike is not quite that ugly after all! I think the looks are actually growing on me!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Careful! :0)

@pistolpete6321 7 лет назад

Great review as always! Looks and sounds like another outstanding motorcycle from Triumph! Enjoy riding it over the next month!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Stay tuned, lots more to come on this one! Thanks for watching....TMF

@z33guru 7 лет назад

+TheMissendenFlyer Just a note on the fork adjustments....Look under the passenger seat for the cool little adjuster coin Triumph includes that makes it easy to get at the fork adjustments.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yeah some others mentioned that - cheers!

@iamtherealzombie 7 лет назад

Alternatively, look in your pocket for a cool little adjuster coin ;)

@danlikesred3989 7 лет назад

Been wondering when you'd get on one of these! Great review. I'm picking up a low-mileage 2014 STriple R in three days. Couldn't be more excited!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Dan Likes Red Congratulations and enjoy!

@964tractorboy 7 лет назад

Handy review as always, thanks! With all the talk of expensive bikes, I'm staggered at the price especially with all the trick kit. Look forward to the instrument walk-through and all the other forthcoming attractions.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Cheers - stay tuned!

@stuart7722 7 лет назад

At long last! Another great review. Look forward to your updates with this bike.

@pnkfld100 6 лет назад

I traded my Street Triple for a Tiger 800 XRX, I've done some journeys across Europe with both bikes, and ofcourse the Tiger was more comfortable. But a few days ago, I rode the new Street Triple RS and was blown away! It remembered me again of why I started riding motorcycles. Such a joy.... So you can see the dilemma I'm in. Going for the Street once more, or keeping my age-appropriate Tiger 800....Greetings from Belgium.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

...the answer of course, is to have both! :0)

@novatech7831 5 лет назад

I completely agree with you. I bought 2018 xcx couple of months back. However I happened to test ride new RS. absolutely wonderful bike. At 166 kg dry weight, it’s a joy to ride on street as well as highways. Getting delivery in three days from now. My xcx is up for sale.

@johncross3316 7 лет назад

What a great review. I cannot wait until you publish on the 2018!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you John - I'm hoping to try an "R" if I can....

@Footplate2012 7 лет назад

Excellent review as always. Better than the professionals. I'm looking forward to the dashboard demo.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Very kind of you to say so, thanks.....and stay tuned!

@tonysinclair9175 7 лет назад

As usual a nice honest review for real world riders - have order mine and now have a two month wait for delivery

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Exciting times! Congratrulations Tony...

@volt7cooltangs701 7 лет назад

I rode a demo RS 765 6th May. So easy to ride, comfortable & the suspension is brilliant, so soft but stable. It's light. It's quick and tons of fun, a real hooligan tool. The fuelling is brilliant too, easy and smooth to ride in town at slow speeds. It's almost too good, too capable, too easy to ride. (that actually puts me off it a bit, that it has no flaws) Missenden Flyer is right when he says it flatters your riding. It is also so smooth with no vibrations, the bar end mirrors are great too with no shaking at all. I'm 6ft 2 and the seating position was so natural. Steering, well you just have to think where you want to go and there it goes. It handles brilliantly. The Display is awesome too. Cons. Still lacks torque compared to my F800R 2015 and I'm not sure I'm a fan of the rear end but apart from that it seems pretty much the perfect naked middleweight.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I agree, the main thing against it in my mind is the styling - I actually prefer the looks of the previous generation bikes....

@wynjones1033 7 лет назад

At last, been looking out for this one especially as I have the 2016 r. I'm sure they will sell bucket loads of these. Great bike and great review as always.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you Wyn, I'm sure you're right!

@tonybutton4075 7 лет назад

Mr Flyer, just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. I'm a Tring boy myself, considering returning to the UK after 27 years in Sydney, and I'm planning to get a Street Triple. I was hoping to pick up a low-mileage 2 year old Triple with ABS for about 5,000 pounds, but after reading your review I see I'll have to fork out 10,000 for a new RS. Thanks for that. Particularly enjoy your road tests around the familiar Bucks countryside; amazing you can fit in so many with only 4 days sunshine per year !

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+tony button Thanks Tony, out of interest, with only 4 days sunshine a year, why would you want to come back?

@tonybutton4075 7 лет назад

3 reasons; the beautiful countryside, the beer and the wry English sense of humour. Also, strangely, the weather. Sydney in Jan/Feb is often 30' with stifling humidity. This is not good motorcycling weather, unless you want to ride in shorts and T-shirt like the suicidal Aussies. Thanks again for the review; I see MCN agrees with you, although their review isn't as thorough !

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Interesting Tony, thanks - I have a grumbling ambition to emigrate to Aus or NZ so this sort of feedback is very useful! Cheers - TMF

@The33JAYJAY 7 лет назад

Very nice, love the display, quick shifter sounds instant and that Triumph sound which I'm already missing. Maybe one day 😁 Good job TMF and loving the Scotland video by the way. JJ

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Cheers The33JayJay - good to hear from you again!

@scaffolder12345 5 лет назад

another well built bike from Triumph and very good review by the Missenden Flyer ,i,ve ridden a lot of Triumphs through out my riding carrier the thunderbird tops my bill.

@kiwiandyt123 7 лет назад

Lovely job! What a cracking bike - all the best bits of the 675 but turned up to 11! Looking forward to seeing what else you make of it.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Agreed - almost all the best bits ;0)

@Banditmanuk 7 лет назад

Possibly the best real world review of this bike so far. I've ridden this bike and the previous model and Triumph have done a great job. I was impressed how smooth the fly by wire throttle was. I know this model has all the trick bits on to take it up to £10K but it does place it close in price to the totally mad and much more powerful MT10 (Which I own and would not swop for the Triumph) Also think its a shame Triumph have given the lower models less power, why?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

All good points Banditmanuk - thanks for the kind comments and for stopping by...

@tsav6952 7 лет назад

Beautiful bike love the sound too. Great review!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you :0)

@philhiggins4922 7 лет назад

Another excellent real world bike review. While I was watching I almost had a sense of this review being on Tv. Like a segment from the old style top gear......I don't mean your review is old. I mean, it's incisive, articulate, informative and interesting to watch and listen too. But available on demand as soon as you post it. Love the Screen, but not sure of the styling of the rest of the bike. Compared to your 2012 model. The new seems more rounded, rather than the angular older model? One day I'll get your impression of the 650 v storm.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks Phil - I'm with you, the styling on this I don't think is an improvement, unlike the handling, which is!

@MrVinnyh 7 лет назад

Look forward to later up dates on this bike Mr Flyer

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Lots more to come Vince!

@neilcole4844 7 лет назад

I tried one of these,like you I had the 675 street,this thing is a fantastic bit of kit sports bike handling,fantastic engine,loved the quickshifter and the dash is so cool.When I rode one I had the feeling the bike was crying out for a race track!! looking forward to riding the R version now! (little bit cheaper). Dont kid yourself..............you know your going to buy one!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yes a great improvement in handling over the older models for sure...having lots of fun with this machine...

@pauldavies5199 7 лет назад

Excellent review of a gorgeous looking bike. Don't mind the lights and cowling from the front but side on not so. Those god damn plate hangars always bring me to tears!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Paul Davies Its a brilliant riders bike, but I have to say I don't like the looks of the front end compared to previous models....

@MrNipperz 7 лет назад

Great review! Looking forward to watching the rest of this series. I will say, i am not a fan of electrics in bikes but this one does show off its quality. I think time and weather will expose any faults with the electrics - something the first owners will have to deal with.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yes one of the perils of being an early adopter eh!

@289kcode7 7 лет назад

Could not agree more. Had a smile on my face all the way home with mine.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Joe Cantrell Glad you like the bike - enjoy!

@hudsonrilke 7 лет назад

Great review. I test rode the previous model and would have ordered one but heard I was coming to Canada. The only things I faulted with it were the useless mirrors and I found the riding position a bit cramped. Other than that it was so much fun. Looks like they've kept the spirit of the bike and just enhanced it. Clever chaps at Triumph.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yeah I agree - and these mirrors work a treat too!

@keithholmes4931 7 лет назад

Another tip top review Mr F. love this bike truimph are making some cracking bikes right now

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Keith Holmes Yep, they sure are, I'll have one of each please! ....oh and a bigger garage...

@BikerSatoshi 7 лет назад

Great initial review. I have a 2012 and wondered what the ride quality is like in the new one as some reviews say RS is more geared up for track. Sounds like this is not problem. Keep up the good work.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

The ride quality is leagues ahead of the 2012...my 2012 is stiff, this thing is plush...love the handling, best aspect of the bike in my opinion...

@BikerSatoshi 7 лет назад

Great stuff. Look Fw to the next episode!

@fishbustin7926 7 лет назад

I'm 65 and not very limber and it's painful getting on and off of my 12GS. I'll certainly keep this bike in mind. Great review old chap!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you. Certainly easier to get on and off of this than a GS!

@gbriar 7 лет назад

That's got to be one of the best bike reviews I've ever watched; just brilliant. Absolutely stonking bike but I'm only 5' 6" so unlikely I'll be able to touch the floor ... such a shame because it's a stunning bike; hat's off to Triumph!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you very much Graham, you should have a sit on one, they're not that tall.....

@gbriar 7 лет назад

You're more than welcome; I'm an expat Brit living in Northern Thailand and it's not that easy to source bikes up here and they are generally very expensive due to the import tax. I've sat on a few bikes, recently tried the Triumph Tiger and I was on the balls of my feet with the seat height being 810mm. From the information I have the RS is 820mm so my little legs would dangle lol. Took a look at your vlog for the RS instrument panel as well - great job. Have a great day mate.

@WyreForestBiker 6 лет назад

Done go by seat height alone... you must try to sit on bikes as the width of the seat/frame/engine makes all the difference.

@SJCB27 7 лет назад

One of the best soundtracks in motorcycling... And I agree with Geoff St John; good you don't spoil your reviews with shite music. Talking of sound, the reportage is very clear on this video. Another thank you and we'll done from me!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you Buzz, music over videos featuring engine noise is one thing you'll not get from me!

@Danilicius55 7 лет назад

Very much looking forward to comparison videos with the older Street Triple. Also love a point of view from the handlebars - breaks up monotony.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Cheers Danilicious - I'll be working on that comparison video very soon! Thanks for watching - TMF

@steveinskip4897 7 лет назад

Hi TMF. The new Street Triple looks to be a great bike. I love the triple engine; so smooth and torquey. Really looking forward to the follow-up videos on this bike. Great content as always.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Steve Inskip Thanks Steve, loads more to come on this bike, loving riding her every day...

@steveinskip4897 7 лет назад

Great. I'm going to test ride one in Toulouse over the summer. Not intending to swap the Morini and I don't need 2 nakeds, but it'll be interesting to see the development of the engine since the first Daytona 675 that I had. Loved that engine to bits!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

You'll love this one even more (I've just this moment got in from another blast on the STripleRS - brilliant fun....)

Quality build,nice performance- all you'd need for around town. Still not a big wrap for that headlight pod but I could learn to live with it . Bikini fairings available for extra wind,weather protection?

@malcolmpritchard4882 7 лет назад

Hi TMF good review I've had my RS for 3weeks now loving it she's going in for first service this Wednesday and a new off road arrow exhaust can't wait 😁 by the way if you look under the seat cowl the is a disc with a slotted screwdriver blade pretty sure that's for adjusting the forks

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks Malcolm - I knew there'd be an answer to that!

@kolokolok 7 лет назад

Great review as always! You forgot to mention your remarks on how the supercorsa tires made the bike feel! Are the rear sections 180 or 190?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+kolokolok 2016 Did I not mention those? Brilliant feel, big improvement over the rosso corsas on my Street Triple and Panigale....

@MrPielips 7 лет назад

Been looking forward to your review of this bike . I ride a 2011 triple r every day, so will be interesting to hear how the rs compares to your r. Many thanks

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I'm going to be doing a specific video on exactly that, currently in the schedule to publish on June 14th (I know, I know, sounds a long way off) - stay tuned!

Was really looking forward to your review, not sure if the TFT is any good if it keeps blurring out when you go fast :). Sat on one at TFest the other week unfortunately I had my son with me so couldn't go for a ride. Will have to book a test ride at some point. Brilliant review as always TMF.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you Daren - loads more to come on this bike...stay tuned!

@tgrey2555 7 лет назад

Damm it, so visted local triumph dealer and test rode the RS. Did have my Tiger sport 2016 on auto trader, well I did until yesterday RS pick up Friday night added Arrow can, anodised reservoir's LED pack all round, short tail tidy and screen and mirror pack. Im actually surprised I have gone for it but its a lovely bike great handling and engine, it'll go nicely with the Triumph stable to compliment the Explorer for commute, The Thruxton R cafe for nostalgia and this wonderful machine.....for the ride.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Congratulations Tris, great bike, I love mine....you are becoming a serious Triumph fan boy there!

@UncleMinecraft 7 лет назад

hoping to do my DAS later this year. got CBR 125 at the moment. a er6 would be way cheaper but oh my goodness it's going to be very tempting to get a street triple. looking at one in the flesh and they are gorgeous

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+magik9637 They are brill bikes - good luck with your DAS!

@nathanielallyn1765 7 лет назад

Thank you for the good review. Top notch as usual! Can you tell me if the seat is canted forward like the previous 2012? I am infatuated with the Street triple but and love the ride over all but they kind of make me smash my.... "situation" in to the gas tank. Before I drive an hour and a half to the nearest dealership I would like your thoughts on that particular aspect. Thank you for your time and thoughts in this. Have a great day!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Hehe, I find the riding position is identical to my 2012...but then I don't have that problem you seem to be suffering from! The ride on the 2017RS is sooo much better than the 2012 - you owe it to yourself to try one....

@stephenspiteri_zunkus 7 лет назад

This really has all the bells and whistles so it's right up there as a contender for my next "big" bike. The other bike I'm considering is the new to come in 2018 KTM 790R. As I've mentioned to you before in our little chats I'm a huge fan of twin cylinder bikes and in my mind these two would be in the same league and competing for the same market. At least they are in my mind. I'm hoping you'd get hold of that orange little beast as soon as it comes out and hear what you'd have to say about it. I do value your opinion greatly as it's more day to day use of the bike oriented than hooligan all the time cocky like some other reviews here on the net. They're good for a laugh but of no great significant value imo. As to this new Street triple it does sound good, and this is from a guy who loves the sound of twins. Only thing about it is that it shines when rev'd hard, a concern as it gets you into silly speed mode when as you can get exiting sounds off a twin at lower revs, say 6k-8k and get a grin on your face. Still, must admit that that howl and smooth delivery must be addictive. Sadly they don't do demo rides here in my country as there isn't enough sales to justify that. These bikes come here mostly on order. Maybe I'll get a chance to ride one once I'm on holiday in the U.K. 😏

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you for your kind words as ever Stephen, good idea to get yourself a test ride when you come over, I think you'll love it!

@heavymetalboi 7 лет назад

@WyreForestBiker 6 лет назад

I was originally underwhelmed by the look of the latest street triple , but, after much consideration of one in the flesh , it dawned on me that Triumph have pulled off a quite brilliant piece of design here ….. a naked street bike that manages to look uncannily like a sports bike. It's clearly intentional and very clever, but aesthetically its miles away from the brutal street roadster look of the original .

@stardustdreamfactory1947 7 лет назад

Visited the dealer I patronize a couple of days ago. A dealer principal rode one of these (among other bikes) from Key West, FL to Homestead, FL a few weeks back during a dealer promo/ introduction by Triumph America. She was gushing over this one. Hoping Triumph sells every one they build. I'll stick with my Sprint STs, GTs and Trophys!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

...I'm sure they will, fabulous little machines, I love 'em!

Will do. Trading in my s1000xr so am used to the bike generally. Looking forward to the change.

I'm just using the sticky helmet pad that comes with the camera - check my video (something like) "how to set up a motorcycle helmet for Vlogging" for full details....

Awesome looking bike and great review as always MF! I have a 2013 plate Street and I can relate to what you mean when you say it 'tips' in when cornering. the tyres are the recommended choice and always the correct pressure so has me stumped however it's doesnt detract from it being a very confidence inspiring bike as I'm still a newbie. Keep up the great vids!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

...the new bike has none of that tipping in feeling, just completely neutral, has really shown up the flaws in the handling on my 2012 bike....more to come on that soon, stay tuned!

Been helping a friend getting one of these to lessons, long story. Hadn’t ridden in years. The speed was shocking.

Australia is getting the A2 version also as the current A2 version is a good seller for them with our 3 year restriction period. Love the review and that triple growl ;)

Thanks Paulaus - I understand your name now :0) I love the internet, the fact you can watch this all the way down there....mind blowing....TMF

Great review. I did test rode one some days ago in winding roads that I have closeby plus of course the city and small Autobahn. I was gladly surprised (having other bikes but knowing well the previous RX). Liked the improved front end feel I could easily very well feel the characteristics of the Supercorsa SP tires that I also know from before. I did noticed the slight I say slight less torque compared to previous BUT you just go ahead on revs and it pulls. Light bike it goes quick and was very agile on my winding roads, comfy and liked too its compliant suspension (expected as stiff as the RX). Engine smooth and sound as we know nice. It left me impressed and I think about it often now trying to pick among some bikes (new fireblade, Tuono RR even Trux R... ) this made it hard :)

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks Andres, so many good bikes out there to choose from eh!?

@AMPJ08 7 лет назад

yeah now that I've been forced to choose well, i will let my heart lead the choice! :) By the way, it seems (saw it mentioned somewhere) there is a "coin-looking" tool in the tool bag of the RS that can be used to adjust the forks' compression and rebound, so there is no need to remove handle bars.

Hey man love the reviews do you ever do older bikes? would to see you on an Aprilia sxv 550 :)

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks Justin, I haven't done older bikes but I do have a plan to do just that! Stay tuned....

@TheBluebiker 7 лет назад

excellent look forward to your comparison to the 2012 to see if you think the same as i

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

...I have a feeling I might do....

@jimbo1485 7 лет назад

Thanks, lovely review. I can relate a lot as I also have a 2012 street triple r. However I am not quite sure what your taking about when you refer to the 12s handling. I have ridden many other motorcycles (no where near as many as you), and I think the 12s handling is sublime. I often take it to the race track and really keep up with the supersports and superbikes in my skill category. I haven't adjusted the factory suspension and I ride with dunlop q3s.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yeah I'm going to get some new tyres fitted to mine as a first step, then I'm off to a suspension specialist to get mine set up - riding this new machine has shown me how way off mine is!

@carlton683 7 лет назад

Great review really enjoying your chanel can you tell me where you get those trousers from as they look great and have they got protection in many thanks tony

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

They're RST camo trousers - and yes, they are nomex (or whatever) lined they have knee protectors and pockets for hip protectors....

+PavaTheBiker Thanks

@CasperDawson 7 лет назад

I just picked one up yesterday! :) Love it already! I must say though, after I tightened up the screws for the bar-end mirrors, there is quite a bit of vibration being put out...😒 There were no vibrations when I did the test-ride... Will have to look into some bar-end weights.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Odd, no vibrations on mine or the loan bike from Triumph...maybe get the dealer to take a look???

@gregk.1831 7 лет назад

Enjoyed the review, the Street Triple is in my top 3 list for next new bike. It will be interesting to see how the R model compares with the RS, less bhp, will it have more mid range? Beautiful machine, see if I make room in the stable for it.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

There's always room!

@marksmith8663 7 лет назад

I went to the tour tech even to test ride the touring bikes ( tiger sport was good) but I was happy to get back on my street triple for the ride home be even better on the new 765 . It's the best bike line triumph make in my opinion

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

You may well be right!

@lambretta 7 лет назад

Great review again , I agree about a tail tidy up , and how good is it going to sound with a another pipe on it lol

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Pretty darned good I'd say!

@ehegarty2010 6 лет назад

Hi Missenden Flyer, Great review as always, so is your review on the R model and your comparrison with your own 2012 model. Quick one if you have a min. Is the R or the RS more comfortable for commuting/ocassional touring? The RS has the better suspension but is it better for average use or is the R more comfortable?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

I can't tell the difference in comfort between the R and RS - both identical as far as I can make out....

@ehegarty2010 6 лет назад

Thanks for the quick reply sir. Good to know. Looking forward to January Bike news monthly ;-)

@Cartsp70 4 года назад

Hey great review I love this bike , I love the Ducati 797 but I don’t get something, How can this bike be 120 Bhp and the 797 73 bhp ? Is that right ?

@kevinmcdermott3668 6 лет назад

Thanks Mate for getting back to me .

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

No probs...

@Warner1981 7 лет назад

As always a great review I have no doubt this is a cracking bike to ride. My only disappointment is the looks, it's subtle changes to the previous generation. It was highlighted when I was at a Triumph dealership and we asked if he had the new Street Triple and it was parked up in a line of bikes next to us!! We never noticed it I'm a big Triumph fan as I used to have one! I'm not hating them just saying. Perhaps a better colour scheme might help maybe Enjoying the reviews fella top stuff x x

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks David, and I 100% agree with you on that - I don't much care for these matt colours and parking my 2012 in black and gold next to this....to my mind no contest!

@malek5003 7 лет назад

Great review! How do you get Long term loan bikes from these dealers.. so far I've only seen Triumph do it with C2W

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I don't do it via dealers, the Triumph factory have very kindly given me access to their press fleet of bikes...as for how you do that I don't know, they came to me!

@mikestewart7322 7 лет назад

Hi TMF, how often do you change your bikes? Or do you change if a big improvement arrives on your existing bike. Is the new street triple RS going to make you px/sell your 2012 bike? I have just bought a Tiger 800 xca, px ing the 2015 scrambler. I had three BMW 1200 gas adv over the previous 10 years. I am absolutely amazed at what triumph have done with the overall package of the tiger 800 xca, giving some stuff that BMW don't provide as standard(heated seats to name but one) and great build quality. Only done 420 miles so far but love it already which is a good sign. Still love the gas though, but hope they are out my blood now. Cheers mate, loving all the vids.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks Mike, I tend to buy the best vehicle I can afford (this applies to bikes and cars) and then keep it for as long as possible, if I find myself having to change it after say three years then clearly I made the wrong choice! ...that's my logic anyway, I know lots of people have to have the "next best thing" or just like to change frequently - I like to get best value out of my hard earned cash....

@neilsimpson5900 6 лет назад

Watched again - not just because it's another great review, but new RS arrives either Monday or Tuesday (depending on Triumph logistics company!)... Excited in 3...2...1...

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Great stuff Yarek - exciting times waiting for a new bike eh!

@neilsimpson5900 6 лет назад

Yeah, totally - can't wait to get back on a Street Triple! Was given Saturday as a pick up date as the bike arrived at the dealer this morning, so excitement level is at 9 right now :)

@qqqsfdf1232 5 лет назад

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

...I don't know how you can get one, Triumph contacted me originally...and jammy yes - you bet!

@LambChopRides 7 лет назад

Very nice indeed, Im a little jealous... :-) M own fault should have tested more Triumphs hehe

@garyjamessilva 7 лет назад

Great review, very eagerly antcipated. On paper at least the performance & handling of the Street Triple RS would appear to be similar to your Paingale 899. Their riding position & purpose are different of course but curious what you think, are they comparable ?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

No way, the experience on the Panigale is something else, the Duke is much more difficult to ride but much more brutal - Not really comparable at all - the Triumph is smooth, comfortable and refined in comparison.....both brilliant machines given their design briefs...

@sharpbends 7 лет назад

gary silva Thanks TMF, I'd like to see a cafe variant of the Street Triple RS, drop bars, bikini fairing and tail tidy. That would improve the looks no end ;-) Cheers
