So refreshing to hear someone with an opinion. Motorcycling journalist now days seem to have lost this ability. They seem to simply reharsh the companies press release, providing the public with very little insight into what the bike is like in the real world. I hope Triumph appreciate your upfront and honest evaluation. it is what is needed. An opinion is a good thing, it leaves us all free to agree or disagree, but most of all it has given us cause to think. Many thanks.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you very much - I aim to please!

@VeeFour 6 лет назад

absolutely correct. Professional moto journlists want to keep their access to manufacturers, so they will always tone down any critisisms that they have and invariably you end up watching an extended advertisement/music video for the bike rather than an objective review. This is why guys like TMF, provide a vital service in giving us riders the actual real world low down on a bike, and so help us make better choices when it comes time to pull up a chair with the dealer.

@spetersonmusic 7 лет назад

Really interesting contrast and compare. I own a 13 Street Triple R in matte gray and I LOVE the looks; I am more attracted to the "R" version for 2018 than the colors offered on the RS version (more the red subframe for the rear vs. silver than anything else).. Like TMF, I am a massive fan of what I already have so there's no urge to get a new bike for me however I am at the same time very interested to stay up on the current offerings and it is content like this that speaks directly to me. Thanks for doing what you do; I along with many others value it very much.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks as ever Scott - and yes that black and red scheme is a looker, if I were going for a Streetie now I think the "R" may be the way to go for that alone...

@jonathanjackson7047 2 года назад

I agree, I have a 2005 speed triple and the whole look of the bike is much better than either of these two models. The new models try to look overly slick and it just doesn't work. It's gradually losing the streetfighter aesethic.

@jonk5363 7 лет назад

Great review, as ever. Having recently watched your review on the XSR 900, if you had to choose, would you go for the new Street or the Yamaha?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

@farazbaber7239 7 лет назад

In most parts a fair and helpful review. Thorough and well thought out vlog. I agree about the paintwork and plumped for the glittery black 765RS but agree the stickers and red lining aren't the best looking and would have also preferred the classic black with gold rims mix. As for the arrow can - not sure it has made much of difference on mine - the joys of regulations

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yes sadly it seems the optional cans on today's Triumphs are constrained by regs - I recently rode a Vance and Hines equipped scrambler back to back with a standard one and I couldn't tell any significant difference! ....you couldn't even remove the baffle from the V&H pipe as it was welded in!!

@farazbaber7239 7 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer indeed, the EU arrow can is welded in although the Triumph website shows a non EU compliant one as an option - whether U.K. Dealers fit them and leave this at your peril come MOT is another matter - but the removable baffle option is there - just not sure it's worth the agro. Great if you could do a Ducati cafe scrambler review at some point - you know the one that looks like a themed JPS set up.

@bristoldrumsmokers1750 7 лет назад

hi mate great vid as always. I have the same 2012 STR as you and absolutely love it. Had a quick question about your filming. love the look of your vids, what res/fps do you use when shooting?. I picked up a Hero 5 today and trying to figure it all out.

I was watching the bike chase at the end of mission impossible 2 the other day and Tom was riding a 1999 T595 or T509 speed triple I think and man does that bike still look good. So I think these bikes will look good for years and years. I also agree that the black and gold is just awesome looking! Nice vid!!

@ceriabestsb3023 7 лет назад

Thanks for this video. Been waiting for this comparison. A great comparison I believe. Anyway I wonder what is the outcome if you compare between 2017 and 2016 models. I think it's going to be a close call don't you think so?The 2016 model came with ABS and traction control too. Again,great video sir.

@TheMissendenFlyer 2 года назад

@tigerjim6077 7 лет назад

Great video as always Mr TMF! I think I chose well buying my 2016 Street last year. Got the extra bits like the ABS and fuel gauge which the 2012 misses. I like the new 765 but when you compare my red standard red 2016 against the 2017 S model, it just doesn't do it for me and it looks rather bland. The same I feel is with the RS, there's too much black and it looks a bit dull, not enough shiny bits. All I wish for is that I'd have known about the 10th Anniversary 675 and then I could've got a gold one. Overall I'm happy with my 675, unless they bring out a 765 RT version where I could maybe have panniers, some wind protection with a screen and maybe cruise control.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Nice one Jim - I agree you timed your purchase about right!

@neilh8707 3 года назад

Love this (and all your) videos. I had a 2012 Street triple and loved how fun the bike was on the road. What is the RS low to mid range like, that is where the fun was on the road? Seen some reviews saying the RS low and mid range is poor?

@viktoriol 7 лет назад

I stopped at a service on M1 just to see the new vid and it did not disappoint! :) I prefer the look of the new bike on the front and the front-side department, but the old one definitely better on the rear side. Since I'm a rather big chap (6' 5), I look a bit.. funny on these, but perhaps if the 2018 Speed Triple will come with the TFT, will keep the under-seat exhausts and if they just make it lighter, to at least match the Superduke, I will be hyped as never before. Thanks!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Great stuff...and you may be right about the Speedy...let's wait and see!

@henrysmith5604 7 лет назад

@duncanblanchard334 7 лет назад

Lovely job, would be interesting to know how much it would cost you to change up to a new bike from your bike. This would be a big deciding factor for a lot of people who have the old model.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Well about £5000 I reckon, not worth it in my view....the new bike doesn't deliver 100% more thrills than my 2012 (which is probably worth around £5000), I'd say it's about 20% better, so if you could get one for £6000 I'd upgrade, at £10,000 naa....

@Jesperrescue 7 лет назад

Thank you for this lovely review! I did a huge misstake (or not?) by test riding the 765 RS last week and i kinda "fell in love". what an amazing machine, so much more usable on the streets than my current supersport 750cc suzuki (sure 150bhp but where to use them somewhat within the range of the speed limits?). But unfortunately my wallet says no to a brand new bike, but however if i get rid of my current bike i will be well in range for the 675 R (or RX?). im looking for the model between the one you got and the absolut newest one, namely the 2013-2016 model with abs, a different tac and the side (under bike?) exhaust. Watched a prev vid of your about the top 5 mods to get for a street triple, and that break fluid resevoar is pretty sweet looking! thanks for that, i wouldn't have discovered that myself and kept on ride with whatever is stock on the bike (namely plastic... eww from now on). What is the difference between your 675R and the slightly newer 2013-2016 675R? is it less or more the same bike with another exhaust and tac or is there more in difference? seen bikes with your type of seat and more like the 765 with a splitted seat, but i can't figure out which one belongs to the R or if it is just 2 different options from the factory. BR and cheers! MK2

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yep "more or less" the same bike - they had to strangle it with those underslung exhausts (I think for Euro 4) and they changed the gearing to make first much taller, this had the effect of taming the acceleration somewhat and the bike losing some of its hooligan character - on the plus side you do gain a fuel gauge and ABS which are both well worth having....

@Jesperrescue 7 лет назад

Let me guess first gear gets longer but 2-6th is similar ish so the topspeed aint that much of a difference then? So the older model didn't come with a fuel gauge, but u had the average fuel consumption and the range left on the current amount of fuel in the tank on the old right? So why would anyone really care for an gauge aslong as you know how many more miles one have left before it's empty. Oh well. The only experience i have is the 765cc. Is that similared geared as your short 1st geared 675?

@hudsonrilke 7 лет назад

Hey TMF - another cracking video and really interesting comparing the two bikes. I've converted from a modern naked to the T120 but my mates all ride Street Triples and definitely prefer their older models to the new.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Having used the AuroTeck plugs for a while now and finding them increasingly painful on my ear canals, I made an appointment at Custom Guards after work on Friday evening at their premises in Leamington Spa. Richard is a great guy and me feel very welcome and comfortable throughout the process. I would thoroughly recommend Custom Fit Guards to anyone that watches your channel. And I got 10% discount for mentioning your name! Looking forward to receiving my new ear guards in the next few days. Will let you know how I get on.

I just sold my modified 2005 Speedie (in gloss black and gold). It was very similar looking to your 2012. I agree with with your opinion on the tail ends. So I have recently purchased a 2017 Speedie (S) to overcome the tail end issue. It is gloss black and I am painting the rims gloss gold. I have fitted twin SC-Project "silencers" which sound superb. I feel the Triumph management team should be patted on the back for producing such beautiful machines, I and my daughters love them.

@robertdavis4761 5 лет назад

Love your video and especially relevant for me since I am currently deciding between the same 2012 R black/gold with arrow cans or a 2016 matt silver RX with red wheels. Both bikes are gorgeous. I can buy the 2012 which as 7k miles and looks in mint condition for $6,000 dollars. The 2016 RX with only 400 miles can be purchased for $8k. Both are great deals. I had a 2015 Street Triple R and loved it. Something about the black/gold and the Speed Triple cans makes this a very tough decision for me. Which would you buy if it was your money and why??

I’d have the 2012 due it’s lower gearing (more hooligan than the 2016) and of course that glossy paint scheme - the money saved is a bonus...

@smiddysmith8517 7 лет назад

Another good review I had a 2012 and loved it as a 2nd bike I'd have another street no hesitation .Did you fit a slipper clutch to yours ?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

No I haven't got the slipper clutch - to be honest I didn't know you could get one retro fitted! ...might have to look into that!

@smiddysmith8517 7 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer looked like you were shifting gear clutchless on both might need to watch again lol

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yes I was, they're both fitted with a quickshift.....

Which bike should i buy for everyday commuting street triple rs,ducati 821 or mv agusta brutale 800.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+sudeep ok Street Triple would be my choice....

@HassChapman 7 лет назад

The back end of the 2017 RS looks more or less like my old 2015 RX which I loved. This is massively better than the dated look of the 2010 Triple I had before that. I also had the matt silver paint on my RX and I love this colour. It's also very practical here in Southern Spain! I do agree with you on the headlights though.

Have you ridden the Triumph Daytona 675? Wondering how they would compare.

@troppo4872 7 лет назад

Thanks mate. Another good review. Great to see you calling it as you see it. As we discussed previously, the 2017 has more power at the top end...which is useless on the road. I like the new display. Sorry, but high pipes are a hate crime on a Striple....it is a well known fact that white 2012s with the low Arrow pipe have 50 more HP.... ;-)

@ratsac 7 лет назад

Nice comparison mate. One thing I do like about both of them is that they have fixed cockpit and headlights. That is, they don't move with the handlebars. Looking at a naked bike, but don't like the feeling of having nothing in front of you like maybe an S1000R, MT09 or Monster. Do these feel like that to ride? I.e nothing in your field of view.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yes they do to be honest...but you get used to it....

@Knighthawk916 7 лет назад

Quick heads up on what you like/dislike from either machine, informative for me who was thinking of 2017 model. Any future plans for review of Multistrada 950. Would like to see what you think.

Sadly I can't seem to get the local Ducati dealer to talk to me - I have some other avenues to explore though so fingers crossed....I'm not giving up yet!

I have a 2018 Street Triple R. I have a Remus slip on, bespoke heated grips, sliders, blah blah. All came with it. That said, I had my eye on a 2012 when the other came up. He has to get rid of it and it already had the upgrades for just 1k more (US). I picked it up for 7k US, with 2.5k on the clock. It just my fave bike ever and I’ve been riding for 30 years. All that said, the 2012 is a better looking bike, no doubt about it. I have the black gloss paint and it’s brilliant, but the real difference is the black chassis on mine is just sublime. It will always be more capable than me and is super confidence inspiring. All graft machines and the sun will be our Wednesday. Thanks again for being so comprehensive. Your bike looks amazing!!!

@ArunJ_tvm 7 лет назад

the matte gray with the red stickers looked quite cheap to me. am getting the phantom Black. But the shotgun style exhaust vs single side exhaust, its a lot of weight savings, right? I had speed3 with dual exhaust, loved the looks, but tried a single side low boy and never went back.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Good man - Phantom Black is the way to go...nice one. And yes the weight saving is significant, I just like the high pipes look/sound (I appreciate I am in the minority on that!)....

@HippoDrones 6 лет назад

just watching this after your MCN review you put up today. Yours def sounds nicer and gloss paint would be an awesome option, I think on the top range models you should have more choice, not less than the base ones, think that is a bit crazy backwards IMO

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Yes the paint on the RS was a bit uninspiring, the 2018 "R" that I have at the moment on the other hand has beautiful paint!

@HippoDrones 6 лет назад

I was holding out for the KTM 790 Duke but was very let down by it in the flesh, currently the Street Triple is the only thing that comes close to what I am after unless KTM do an "R" version of the 790 with less boring paint and a bit more umph as well as adjustable suspension and a little bit lighter wouldn't hurt either!

@ignebulus 6 лет назад

I had to search a bit to find a Phantom Black (Gloss) RS, which is just lovely. Not a fan of the Matte Ice, but I am obviously in the minority here in the states as most of the RS's I've seen are Matte. To each his own of course, but give me glossy every time. I think the "R" has the best look with the red subframe, again just an opinion. I have to say that I really appreciate your methodology when you put together your reviews (especially your long term's), great detail across the spectrum of ownership. Well done, mate!

@stevesixtysix7630 7 лет назад

Excellent review......as we come to expect from you.....but the big question is would you buy one when the time comes to replace the 2012? From the review I am thinking not 🤔

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+steve sixtysix Correct, the improvements over my bike (and it is improved despite my aesthetic dislikes) aren't worth the £5k I'd have to find I reckon....

@jaimerojas8449 4 года назад

Question.. does the 2012 ST-R come with ABS?

@cs1375 Год назад

I have a 2014 Triumph Street Triple in Cosmic Green. It has the under slung exhaust and ABS. Old bike looks better. I like that TFT screen. When I bought my bike I watched a ton of videos and as far as naked bikes it was pretty much the king in every video.

@TheMissendenFlyer Год назад

Yes and still is as far as I'm concerned!

@aGentleUser 4 года назад

I've ridden the 2019 RS, great bike, and the sound is best for me, but not because of muffler but because of the suction noise in the airbox. But yes the look of the 2012 back is niceer.

@tadydrift 3 года назад

I have a little question, i'm soon takin' a street triple 675 (because my SV 650 going full track bike), however i'm a huge fan of the oldschool round lights and the dual exhausts at the back, and i was wondering is there any difference between the 2009 and 2011-2012 675?

@TheMissendenFlyer 3 года назад

Not that I know of....those earlier models are proper hooligan machines due to their shorter gearing (which was changed for the 2013 MY).....

@hawkrider88 6 лет назад

Are the ergonomics different from 2012 to 2017? As a shorter rider I'm wondering if the reach to the bars is different, the seating position much different and seat height? Thanks, your reviews are some of the best.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Nope, the bikes feel exactly the same ergonomically.....

@dougie1325 7 лет назад

Thanks TMF, great review as always. I am a fan of black but not gold or even gold and black and I also love the matt grey and wheel striping on the new model. I'm with you on the extra striping elsewhere, it's like they didn't know where to stop. With a different exhaust setup it will sound every bit as good as your bike i'm sure. I think what's important is that the positive points are what you said as the important things and the negatives are subjective. On looks I'm a fan of the new design but I also think your bike looks great too. If I didn't own a Street Triple I would buy the new model over the old model but like you if I already owned one I'm not sure I would buy the new model.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Cheers Dougie - indeed most of this is subjective and of course I'm biased....(how can you not like gold wheels!!!!)

@dougie1325 7 лет назад

Yes sorry the only gold metal I like is the expensive kind that's found in big heavy bars. I'm happy to accept any of them sitting unwanted around the TMF man cave.

how do you blot out the speedo? Asked several people but they are unable or unwilling to provide the info.

@christhomas6373 7 лет назад

I brought the new street triple when it launched in may, I agree with most you said to be fair, the "looks" on the old made the choice more difficult, but the new upgrades on the 765 won it for me. The noise I think will come when some aftermarket cans are released. I got the matt silver though... I have always had shiny bikes and fancied a change. personal preference I guess there though.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yep all down to personal preference for sure...

@hawkrider88 5 лет назад

I have heard some people say that when they put different cans than OEM on the bike that their butt gets quite hot. It looks like those Arrow cans don't have the shield that the standard exhaust has either. Have you noticed any heat problems? Thanks, love your videos. Atlanta, USA.

Nope - the improvements aren't significant enough for me to throw another £5grand at it...I could get a little Mutt Scrambler for that :0)

@10secondsrule 7 лет назад

Lovely comparison thank you for this. I must say I prefer the look of the new bike but this is subjective. I guess the old looked more basic and pure. I used to have the late 2010 street r until it got stolen so perhaps I am a bit tired of an old look. Although it would be interesting to see how close you can get the suspension set to match your weight and riding style. I know after I had mine done I swear it was like a different bike. I absolutely loved it. I also wonder if more basic models of street 765 will have more real life low down torque as this is tuned more for top end power. I am looking to get one version or the other at some point when some second hand will appear on the market. Ps I agree with cheap stickers ...what is it all about? Is it possible to remove them?

@chriscunha3246 6 лет назад

Are all the improvements really worth it??? I currently have a 2015 phantom black street triple and am SERIOUSLY considering trading it in for a 2017 R... only problem is i think theyll beat me up too much on my bike. Ive put nearly 12,000 miles on it since early April LOL needless to say ive loved every moment...

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Well as I said on the video, I don't think so no (if you mean "is it worth chopping in my current 2015 for a new 2018MY") - it is a better bike, but not worth trading up and taking the hit if you have a good STR already.....in my opinion.

@steveinskip4897 7 лет назад

Thanks for that. It's the one I was waiting for. The thing that really naffs me off about the new bike is the plasticky thing between seat & tank. Totally obnoxious! I wish they'd given it to an Italian design house for finishing off. Triumphs attention to detail has improved, but it's still not in thevleague of say the Ducati Monster. The rider modes aren't necessary with the 675 engine unless you're ham fisted; it isn't a 200bhp Suzuki! And you can put stuff on the back seat of the old one, (probably not Mrs Flyers drum-kit but a club sandwich at least) without scratching any paintwork. But.....because of the Brembos and the ABS, I'd chose the new one over the old one. Having said that I wouldn't chose either but that's another story. Top vlog as always. I watch more of you in a week than the BBC nowadays. :-)

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you Steve, if only I could harvest some licence fees like the BBC!! ;0) ...and i agree the Brembos, ABS and Ohlins make for a tasty upgrade on the old "R"....
