New Triumph Street Triple RS 

By far the best street triple review I have ever seen! I love how you showed us everything from the triumph logos to the gas tank cap! Great video

That’s the best Street Triple 765 review yet. I’ve seen lots as well. Very real world, answering every question I wanted answers too as well as many points I didn’t think of. Nice to hear from a very experienced rider. Thank you. Subscribing now and bigs thumbs up.

Congratulations on the new baby! Vid was great. The sound THE SOUND!

Congratulations on the new member of the family ! .. My oldest just turned 40 ... I love my 2017 street Scrambler and the fact it is still a joy at very reasonable speeds ... All the best from New England , Guy

Another great vid and cracking soundtrack. Bike looks amazing. oh and congrats to you and Mrs R.

Another great review, very comprehensive, I'm not sure myself of living with the buzzy motor but then again I am an old scrote. Congratulations on your upcoming arrival.

I am a proud owner of the silver ice version of the RS and must say that Triumph NAILED IT AGAIN!!! The only thing I added (aside from the fender eliminator) was a Yoshimura ALPHA-T slip-on. Oh my - what a difference!!! Thanks for the great review Capt.! You captured the excitement and vibe of this amazing machine!

Goodbye license,! Nice review, Very nice bike, bit nuts thought.

Congratulations on the new co-pilot Captain. So the evolution of the hooligan marches on with a capacity increase & more besides (i'm now refering to the bike) I know some of the forum members wanted more from their next Streety, looks like this one delivers big time !

Hell Ya Captain, good to see a new video from you. Congratulations on the new addition to your family. :-) :-) :-)

Underrated channel and video. Very very thorough. Just how I love it. Love the Britishness and the humor, even though I'm of Russian descent. The finest British engineering, will definitely be getting one this summer provided they have enough stock, or in the autumn if they don't haha. Cannot wait to have a full system and Yoshi or a scorpion GP end can on it as well!

Late to the party on this video but this is one of the finalist to buy next year. Thnx CR !!!

The July issue of Cycle World gives a quarter mile time of 10.89 seconds @125.74 mph for the new 'R' model and I think the RS model has around 6 more horses. But it is the sport-bike chassis and superb handling that makes the Street Triple worth the extra money over cheaper competitors. My modded 2010 STR (linear shock linkage, Ohlins TR805 shock, Arrow 3-1, QuickShifter, SuperSprox 520 conversion with +2T rear sprocket etc) is so fast and fine-handling that it is very close to the new RS so no need to upgrade to the new one. Excellent review btw!

Glorious road test. That sound is intoxicating. You need a soundtrack playing in the background when changing nappies!

I bought the street scrambler in November 17 and already needing to replace it, can’t be doing with the struggles it has to get passed chavs texting in their cars at 70mph. So the options I have within the dealership are quite vast. Watched a review on this bike by the brilliant TMF and Chaseontwowheels but this one my friend seals the deal. The direct references to the scrambler have helped also as the points you make are ones I can fully relate to. Cheers mannie, hope the new baby is well :)

I really enjoyed your review. I just bought a Street Triple RX model and I love it.

We need more video's from you once the little chap is older... all the best to you and the family..

very fun and enthusiastic review. was fun to watch

Well done review - very detailed, very relaxed and complete. Riumph!!!!!!! lol.

New subscriber to your channel. Cheers from across the pond! I really enjoy your content and looking forward to your next uploads. I recently bought a 2017 Thruxton R (my first Triumph). I love this bike so much I would park it in my family room at night so I could keep looking at it (if the wife would have it. She caught me in the garage last night staring at it. She asked "what are you doing? I said "just admiring" she laughed at me for 10 minutes). My Thruxton keeps stalling at red lights but the dealership said the first service will take care of that (with the Vance and Hines mapping). Anyway, more vids Captain! :)

I found out years ago the addictive nature of the Speed Triple in terms of power and sound was a poor fit for my personality. I turned into a very anti social person always riding too fast and too aggressively so I will stick with the Thruxton R . The R is great fun, superb handling and a lovely sound without turning myself into an ass.

Captain, LOVE the SOUND of a Triumph Triple ! I've never had a 4, my only was a K75s BMW

Missed ya buddy. Congrats to you and the wife. Thanx for adding another bloody Triumph to my want but can't afford list. lol. I'd probably go for the R as I like the screen but don't really need all the track mode stuff. Nope, changed my mind. I like the belly pan, LED indicators and the other stuff you only get on the RS, plus the colours on the R all have red frames which I don't like. The silver RS is the mutts nuts. Mute point though as Euromillions keep pulling out the wrong bloody balls. lol

Ride it like you stole it & congrats on number 2! All the best 😀

I will probably be watching this video at least once a day until I can buy my 2018 Street Triple RS. In aluminum silver, of course. Thanks Captain.

I spoke to a little while ago and test ridden a few triumphs now and watched all of your videos. I am now awaiting delivery of a triumph street triple R. Tally Bally hooooo

Glad to see you back again, Captain!

Sold!! Oh! Congrats on your newly born baby!

This is about the only bike that could tempt me away from wanting the soon to be released KTM 790 Duke. Nice review Captain! :-)

That whistle, and I'm liking the look of it in black.

I have recently bought a mint 2005 speed triple model in black ... My first Triumph and I love it . I would like to test ride a street triple as my friend had one and said it was punchy .

Brilliant video 👍

This really does sound amazing.

Congrats on the new addition.

Firstly, congrats on the birth of your second child. Now, onto the review. The bike, and a lot of the other modern bikes out there, are a marked improvement, all things considered, over where bikes were when I started riding consistently about 18 years ago. The availability of modes, convenience, and sheer performance, as well as the balance, handling, and capabilities of the machines themselves is nothing less than mind boggling. The real issue is that pesky decal, that can turn into a much more expensive proposition when having to explain yourself to the local authorities. For most of us, it is the one thing that keeps us riding the more classic iron. Age, as well, plays a factor in this. In my mid 50s, my reflexes and vision are not what they used to be. I could easily get myself into circumstances well beyond my own control on something like that, even with great restraint. For about the past year and a half, I have been riding the 2013 Triumph Thunderbird. The bike is a beast, but it is really a nice alternative to some of the other heavy cruisers. I put over 6000 miles on it in that time, and it was relatively trouble free, with the exception of a stepper motor which was replaced under warranty. The thing is, I already have a heavy cruiser in a Harley FLHR. So, I gave some serious thought to the Bonnevilles, and test rode the T-120, which I absolutely adored. However, being slightly upside down on the Bird, trading at that time wasn't feasible. I also got a great look at the new Scrambler, which was really the bike of the line I was interested in. Beautiful machine, and maybe one day in the future... I then stopped by my local Harley dealer, and got the opportunity to ride a used 2016 Roadster. The Roadster is very similar to the Sportster, but has a lot of differences, including the brakes, and suspension. The Harley dealer then offered me 2K off of MSRP on a new bike, and offered to take the Triumph in trade. Long story short, I am now the proud owner of a NOS 2016 Roadster, and have about 600 miles on the clock. Pound for foot pound, it is plus or minus about 1 unit in comparison to the T-120, but there are a lot of differences. But after having a 99 Sporty, and two different Buells, I just felt at home on the bike. So, alas, I have returned to the Harley fold. I have thoroughly enjoyed your Triumph reviews, and if I am allowed to stay, shall continue to be a subscriber. I find your videos thoughtful and entertaining, and whether I own one or not, will always be a fan of the Triumph. I am happy to see that the company has come so far in such a short period of time, and they make a very wide range of brilliant machines, which I have had the pleasure of test riding. Keep the shiny side up, and I hope to see you and some new content in the future. The best to your and your family, especially the new addition.

What do you think of this bike as a beginner bike, after one passes the Direct access? Im stuck between this and the MT07 at the moment. Thoughts please. Im 27years, 5'7" tall

Riumph? Is that what Scooby-doo rides? Can you get Netflix on that screen? hahaha Nice thorough review :)

Nice video! I hope you can make one for the "r" version as well.

your review made me buy it

I'm sure you mentioned this elsewhere... But what riding gloves are you wearing in this video Captain?

Well I've ordered one now... had to buy the short arse version of the R, Low Ride Height, tiny legs you see... anyway, fingers crossed it'll be here soon. Great Review!

You sounded like Stevie Nicks when talking on the bumpy road😄

Everything but the fugly headlights! Love it!

This is amazing bike ,i have got one june last year captin rambunksus

Hey Cap, nice to see you back in the saddle, it seems ages since I enjoyed your last review. Congrats on the birth of baby R. I'm going to demo the RS Stiple shortly. I took out the Speedy last week and loved it. I'm wondering if the speedy, although faster, might be a more relaxed less aggressive ride. Did you make it to the sausage fest at loomie's?

Enjoyed your review , all the best to you. Tallyballyho

Pls do a review of the s model if you can. It would be good to note the differences between the cheapest and most expensive model. And a good excuse for a blast! Not keen on the info screen, prefer clocks.

Screen is pretty tasty. I wonder if the Tigers will get it with Sat Nav, that would be something.

Still love the Thrux R cuz it feels so elegant

Excellent review captain. Have you tried the XSR900? Curious how they compare.

congrats dad

Great review thanks. I own a T120 at the moment and was considering also getting a Thruxron R or a Street Triple RS. I am thinking the Thruxton would be too similar to the T120 and for a bit of contrast the St Triple would be better. Thoughts?

Congratulations Captain! How about a converting the Thruxton R to an outfit with a baby-seat?

So if you had the choice of just one bike, your Thruxton R, Street Triple RS or Speed Triple ? Also excellent video :)

Does this also qualify for a Tripling song?, or didnt you have time between gear-changes old bean?

Hy cap, can you tell me something about your strange watch on the right wrist? Thanks

Is it too much for the street, you think? Is the Thruxton better suited?

How is the knee bend compared to the Thrux? As to power, I think you've demonstrated that bike has all you could ever need. Even if it made twice as much, it wouldn't matter as the electronics would kick in to save the rider from looping it anyway. For a modern bike, I think the style of the RS is outstanding. In a world of sportbikes that look like irradiated Japanese cartoon characters, the Triumph is a shining star.

You spent that much time to screen adjustement? When is one time finished, is finish.

Soooo Money not an object . What bike would you want as every day rider for thrills and fun etc. I am looking for a final bike so will spend what I can on it . I have a Harley 48 Spotster1200 now , however would like a cheaper to customise and maintain , plus tour maybe , camp out . I appreciate your feedback and comments . Regards Paul

Just to say, that sound you're getting has almost zilch to do with the exhaust. Not getting on at you directly, just so tiring hearing so many reviewers say "the sound isn't too bad for a stock can". It's 99% induction noise! ;)

I live in Hemel you should definitely start riding around actually kn Hemel to show what the bikes are like in the shitty roads of Hemel

May I ask what's on your wrist? One of these step counter jobbies?

And when you press the Home key it plays a little melody..

Nice review. Very comprehensive. License beware.

Good News there How is the Wife and Little one?

Ok this one seems a bit more reasonable than the speed triple rs. But how are you not constantly tempted to just hooligan it at all times. I’m already looking for my second bike before i get my t100 next month😂

Hey Captain, did you feel excessive vibrations at around 8K RPM? Mine is quite unbearable. :( Taking her in to the dealer soon to get her checked out... Thank you.

I was going to spend 3-4 grand on a street triple 675 but now I might just have to get one of these. I have the money but it will probably mean divorce! What do I do???

Your a dare devil captain my captain !

Rambunctious, my man, I note correctly! T missing on the tank left-hand side? Also noted you were having real difficulty to stay legal. Cheers, and take care.

Have they re-named the company Riumph? (Check the left tank badge!) 😉

nice review, but I think this beast would get me into waaay too much trouble. Scrambler giggles for me.

weapon!!

Where do you get your jacket's ?

Captain: Is that what they call "hooning"?

speedo hiding lvl 999 :D

dude love your vids but you need to cover up your speed on the vids.

What gloves are those?

RS has 123 HP, not 128

@Captain Rambunctious, how tall are you?

Me being a computer illiterate luddite means that I probably wouldn't be able to ride this 2 wheeled laptop!

How come you only review Triumphs?

My new bike

WHAT ABOUT TRADITIONAL OIL LEAKS ?

You can now say 'electronic aids' without laughing... middle-age comes to us all.

Datonery?? hehe

Screw that traction control

For God sakes would someone come up with a plate holder that doesn’t look like complete shit! Please a beg you guys on all brands of naked s

The new Street Triple comes with ISOFIX fittings too, so you can put a child seat in the back of the Triple when your wife pops.

Blimey, so you have to have a degree in IT before you can ride it. Over complicated?

Sir i am sincerely sorry it means dont leave you're phone left unattended for stupid fellows to think there funny and offend people with you're phone honestly so sorry Charlie

Can tell you, if you still breath. Go to the driving school.

Captain, My Captain. You have been robbed by this guy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iErQFbjXJXw.html. He is presenting your review under his name. I thought you should know.

Enjoyed this video, but the bike is too expensive, better off with the standard model, and save 2k, even better get a mint secondhand old model. All the best.

While riding a bike it is not good to take a video by your self

Too much waffle and not enough details

Using your newborn child as an excuse for taking so long to edit and for producing a "tardy" video is a weak excuse indeed Sir. That's what the wife is for. Looking after the kids is her job. Children should in no way impact the father's bike riding, drinking, cavorting and general tomfoolery. (By the way. Congrats on the new sprog. I quit at one and have no intention of adding to the brood. Besides, mine is 18yrs old already. I'm not voluntarily going through all that again.)

What's with having the stupid logo hide the controls? Pretty obvious that you were speeding, but as it's a review of the bike, we would like to see what is displayed. If you don't want to post videos which show you breaking the law, then don't bloody well do it while filming! "Ooh, I'm speeding, but I don't want you to see it!" Waste of space...

MY NINJA 12 R IS MORE POWERFUL IT'S TOP SPEED 325 KM 3RD GEAR IS ENOUGH TO OVERTAKE TRIUMPH TRIPLE.
