I have a 675 R 2016 Street Triple, which I find is the best bike I’ve ever had. I love it. The sound is awesome, and the power is fab…….however………..as I recently saw the 2023 model at the dealers, and 2 of my mates have put a deposit on the R/S, ( Red & Yellow one ) I must say, that I really want one……..what a fab bike.
Sounds like Triumph are going to hit it out of the park again. They look fantastic and one can hope that the new changes make the bike handle even better. I’d love to own one but for the cost constraints, maybe in the future who knows?! 😅
10:14 this exactly. The 2018 triples have better digital layouts than the new model. Still very hyped for mine but they should def change it. I dont like the mirror effect.
@@davidebbs2797 the new design would have been fine IN ADDITION to 17-18-19 generation tach styles. But the fact that they completely got rid of them is humorous. They shot themselves in the foot.
Call me old fashioned if you like but you can't beat the old school speedo and rev counter for instant clear information at a quick glance, and probably safer as you can spend more time on looking where you are going.
@@pggp273 it does seem like it sometimes lol I’ve seen him go crazy on people in at least 3 different videos and one time he lost it multiple times during the same video😳
Great video cheers Toad! I can't stand that tacho layout Triumph use on this bike and a few others either... I mean seriously, mirroring the rev counter? What were they thinking. Shame about the wheelie control (or lack of) too, otherwise this bike looks mega.
Yes, this was brought to Triumphs attention when they first released it years ago. Apparently they are being stubborn as the easy fix would be to revert to previous gen software where many different styles were available.
That tach on the RS is almost a dealbreaker for me. It’s one of the reasons I felt good about getting the 2021 R (plus the fact that I didn’t have the extra cash to buy the RS). I think there are enough improvements in the new RS that I would be willing to overlook the curiously ugly tach with the hope that perhaps a firmware update could fix the problem. I agree, the tach on the 2019 RS is quite usable and they should bring that to the new RS.
Yeah the wheelie control is a shame, it's there, but doesn't act/can't be manipulated. It's similar on other Triumph's like the Tiger 1200 with electronic suspension. It has posh suspension, but the setting only goes from soft, to sporty, you can;t adjust ride height, preload f/r or anything else. On other models you can, and as a short small rider, that really helps me out.
No, but I wouldn't bet against an RR. Think of it like this. The Moto2 street triple is to whet you appetitive. In a year or so why not release one with the clip on, but on the stock suspension - and the Street Triple 765 RR is born... We can dream, right?
FYI, giving the R model the full top end power of the RS model, is a few clicks in TuneECU away. It's all done in software now. The first gen 765 had a different cam profile and tune for the R and RS model. From 2020 on up, its the same motor, same cam, same fuel and ignition tables, etc... They restrict the ride by wire tables on the R to close down the throttle plates to 80% after 8500rpm, while the RS keeps them 100% open till redline. That's why the RS has more top end power. The R is governed electronically, but you can flash the ECU from an Android phone to get rid of that and give the R full power.
@@rohanalias9053 Yeah, so unless you need the higher spec suspension or dash, you can get the R, and then unlock it yourself to deliver the full RS top end power.
I love that they’ve given it more power. I love that they’ve given it the Ohlins and Stylema callipers. Is it a better road bike than the duke 890r? Depends wether torque or hp floats your boat. I will be trying both of these bikes this year just for the hell of it.
doubt they can pull out much more from a 765 cc engine without failing the euro 5 norms, also the unrestricted Moto2 engine makes only 15 HP more the the street version. The next one will probably go up to 850+ cc, also I dont think you need much more then 130 HP to have fun on the road and track, atleast not on smaller tracks most of the street buyers can afford, doubt any1 who spends 11 grand on a bike is also spending 1 grand to go ride the jerezes or the silverstones where you actualy benefit from the 200 HP bikes.
Don't know how work the ktm 890 but i had a 990 smr for several years. Very fun but you can't ride at low speed, looking at the landscapes etc......because the engine doesn't allowed it and it's annoying by the end. I'm gonna order this triumph to replace it.the most difficult will be choosing between the red carnival and the cosmic yellow 😅
Well, actually you are wrong, and right. Yes we'd need to blag a customer bike, but as it happens, a mate has one on order, so I'll be swinging a leg over that in the coming months!
Great review as always!!! I’m thinking about buying the RS or Moto2 as my next bike so I’ve been waiting anxiously for these reviews. Will you also have a chance to ride the Moto2? I’m not a track rider so the RS or R are better for me but I absolutely love the styling of the Moto2 with those clip ons and paint scheme! 😊
Actually, I can tell you that! Roughly 8-seconds between the 214bhp Ducati and 128bhp Triumph. There is an equation relating laptime / price in there somewhere!
@@visordown jeez, that's actually more than i thought it would be, but jerez is a fast flowing track so I guess the street loses out a fair bit on the faster sections. - Be different round cadwell or knockhill though! Thanks for the reply 😁😎👍
Tricky, for out and out road road riding, the Monster SP is more fun, wheelie everywhere and it just makes you giggle. This though is more focused, feels a bit classier and would probably be the more sensible if you do frequent trackdays.
Hi, great vid and really quickly published! Is it possible to change the gearshift pattern withhout aftermarket rear sets? Also what's better for track, Triumph or Duke 890? Thank in advance!
I'm not sure the lever is siwtchable like on some models. I'd still say this for Track over pretty much every other middleweight naked. It's the chassis, the Daytona DNA and that inline three cylinder engine really do make the bike what it is!

Street triple RR in yellow for me, please. The speed triple RR is too much for my age and wallet and I am no track day kid. by the way, I don't know why nobody blatlantly says that the clocks of the R version is the same one in trident. Don't like the plasticky looking white lines, but it has been lauded as a good one, with the possibility to add turn-by-turn... or am I missing something?
This v.s. Duke 890R ? If this is nimble then how about the KTM ? This has more power but the KTM still has more power and torque all the way to it's red line, where the Triumph just keeps on reving. So 765 RS v.s. 890R. Which is better ?
Street triple is higher reving and power delivery is more similar to an inline 4 in that it's peaky. MT09 has more low- midrange grunt, similar to a twin. MT09 is more of a muscle bike
@Alex Pryce I've owned a 2017 MT-09 (FZ-09 in the states), I'm just curious why the street triple might be worth buying over the current gen MT-09. Sounds like it's just a powerpand preference at this point?
The Triumph is lighter and has a much better level of fit and finish. The looks are far superior too in my opinion. And it has a better top end. The Triumph being a smaller engine lacks the low and mid range grunt of the Yam.
@@nigelfisher3756 765RS, MT07/9, KTM890 plenty of people who say each of them is ugly. 🙂 All great bikes though... buy the one that rides the way you like.
It may be competent but how does it compare to the manic MV Agusta Brutale 800RR? Everyone ignores this comparison and places the triumph against a KTM Duke which is chalk and cheese. The MV, despite a significant bump in price and beauty is the real benchmark.
For some reason, I am not a fan of bikes with 'bug-eye' lights. They remind me of praying mantis eyes. It's a minor point but one that would put me off on an otherwise, great bike.
They've had 3 years of Trumpeteers feedback on the TFT display and no change on the RS?🧐 One thing worth noting is the whole exhaust is 1 piece so no slip-ons will be available...👎
Triumph normally do some more sombre colours to start, then they crack out the colour pallet further down the line. It's a shame, there is the Cosmic Yellow bike, although we didn't get to ride that, sadly!
Have a deposit on a Moto2 currently own a Duke 890r. I'm tempted to pull out and keep the Duke. Didn't like the plastic tank, no moto2 reviews, and would want a cowl on the front.
Are you crazy?!!! :) I mean: You're obviously not particularly cash challenged. The Moto2 will no doubt be really special. You've got the money and managed to get on the list: The Moto2, regardless of how it turns out, will be "special" enough that it may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You can always sell it later, for not much of a loss, if it turns out it's not for you. 890s will always be plentiful. Personally, I'm 6 feet. The STR is a bit on the tight side. My knees don't really get along with it for more than an academic hour at a time. But the Daytona works much better. By pitching the rider more forward, the posterior chain takes on some off the load which on more upright bikes goes straight through the knees. So your (at least mine, and I'm not the only one) knees can bend tighter for longer, without getting painful. Man, what an essay...: Point being, I bet the lower bar on the Moto2, for me at least, would make the bike _more_ comfortable to ride than the regular STRs. And that's on top of the Daytona being my favourite track bike ever. You're a lucky guy to be on that Moto2 list. Don't waste the opportunity!
Sadly for us, the Moto2 is sold out so no need to endanger the bikes by handing them over to us. To be honest, we rarely get to try the limited edition models, the Daytona Moto2 was a bit different, they did have one on the press fleet for a while, but they won't have any of these.
to be honest, the TFT on the RS is one of its flaws, you have no chance of knowing where you are in the rev-range using that stylised screen, it needs a proper tacho - even in digital form.
So you know when you are bouncing off the limiter! This bike is quiet, and the rev-limiter very soft. It's nice to have a reminder you are nearing the top of the rev-range, that's why MotoGP bike have them...
It's on the Tiger too. The other bike I might buy. I have no idea why Triumph persist with it. It's very hard to read at a glance and if you have to stare at it for too long then that's not safe.
LOL. I have a 2020 RS and I hate the dash and don't know anyone except the dealer who says it's ok. Still I love the bike so much I put a deposit on the Moto2 version back in early Nov 22. Enjoy the bike don't look at the dash... it's a shame but the bike is so good I'd buy it without a dash at all. 🙂
@@visordown sorry, I meant comments while riding. Usually there’s a lot of that with these videos, but all have lacked that so far. Not a knock on this content. 👍 In the helmet commentary was the phrase I was searching for….
Old Potty mouth at it again but at least he had the courtesy of bleeping out the profanities on this occasion. He's learning but not quick enough. Also I wonder if he has alcohol issues, keeps having to nip off and have a beer. I guess he thinks it makes him look cool or hard or something.
@@rugbyvideo4531 Of what exactly ? Old baldy that is so lardy that he has to have his suspension set up for him that has a peculiar relationship with alcohol 🤔 I don't think so
Here we go tap tap tap on the moral high ground about swearing then accusing the chap of having an alcohol issue just appreciate the video for what it is, a bike review nothing else
@@rugbyvideo4531 There are others that do reviews better. You have to accept that if you put yourself out there not everyone is going to like you. If you are deluded enough to think they do then stop this utube nonsense before someone gets bitt hurt
