I am really bonded to and love my '13 Street Triple R; dialed in and just a delight in every way for what I do and how I do it. It's so good to see the new generation of this bike have been done so well. I had always been a fan of Triumph (who really isn't) in the past, but as my bike confirmed for me as I learned it inside/out... I now also have a very profound respect for the engineering teams at Triumph. Watching the RS reviews as a whole and specifically TMF's, it's impossible to ignore the overall balance of the bike in performance/comfort/handling/fun-factor and when a machine generates smiles for the rider... it's a good machine. Kudos to the Triumph team for 'doing it right'. Enjoying this series TMF!!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks Scott, a few more to come on this puppy!

@kawabunga660 7 лет назад

I've got a bit over 800 miles on my RS as I type this, I cannot get over how great it is! It keeps getting better and better the more I ride it. I had a '13 Street R and then a '16 Speed R previously and this RS is just sublime! The other bikes were great in their own right but this one takes the cake.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Agreed, it's come on some the ol' Street Triple hasn't it - wonderful handling thing....

@falarn 7 лет назад

Just had a test ride on a rs and i have to say it's an amazing machine. After 10 mins on it i was far more confident on it than i have been after 7 years on my current bike, and this was in the wet. The only problem i had with it was the soft clutch, made it hard to find the bite point at times. Didn't stop me from ordering one when i got back to the dealership though

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Nice one Falarn, and congratulations! You've got fun times ahead...all the best - TMF

@neilsimpson5900 6 лет назад

Can't wait - this week :)

@davidjones2133 6 лет назад

Went and had a test ride on one of these after passing my DAS. Easy to ride, totally confidence inspiring and great fun. Went back to the dealer and ordered the R. Love it

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Congrats David - enjoy....

@StraightOuttaDb 7 лет назад

Hey I just discovered your channel this week. Great videos man! I sold my GSX-R 600 and had no idea what to get next but these Street Triple RS videos helped me make up my mind and hopefully I can get one of these shortly!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

What kept you Adam! Seriously...welcome along and thanks for the sub - TMF

@guzzinyc1521 7 лет назад

Love your reviews! Keep up the great work! Looking into getting one. Do want to ride one first though. Ridden the Tiger before and instantly fell in love with the engine.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

This fells quite different to the Tiger Sport triple, much smoother....

@ewooll 5 лет назад

Nice review. Sounds a great bike.

@vn3801 7 лет назад

great review keep them coming I'll be watching them

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Good man - will do...loads more in the pipeline....

@bonnytrippler2966 7 лет назад

Hi TMF - tested one today. I agree with you. Triumph have improved virtually everything on what was already a great bike.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Glad we concur!

@steffydog 7 лет назад

Cracking review, video and grrrrr, your making me want one, he he. Keep well TMF

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you sir - good to hear from you again....

@AMPJ08 7 лет назад

Agree with your number one! For me too as said great feedback from tires thanks to the suspension. For my search of bike now leaning more towards Tuono which has similar good feedback as the T RS on the suspension side, only difference for me was riding style means the focus of the bike otherwise it would be the Triumph hands down. Price package the best deal today!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Agreed - thanks for watching and for stopping by - TMF

@brianjohnson6846 7 лет назад

currently have a kawasaki 1400 performance sport awesome bike but wanted something light for round town was torn between ktm 690 and the husky 701 then my mate sent me your review next day i went to our local triumph dealer looked at one didnt even have a test drive just had a sit on it and it felt right put a deposit down cant believe this bike wasnt on my radar cant wait to get it last triumph i had was a tiger 110 in 1968!!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Brian Johnson Congratulations Brian, you'll love it!

@adriantrowbridge7111 7 лет назад

thanks for taking the time to make these videos, it would be interesting to see a comparison between this and the STR. It seems all the mags jump straight to the strs ignoring the 'lower' models.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yes I agree, I think it might partly be to do with the fact that Triumph only has the RS on it's press fleet that it sends out to the mags (and the odd you tuber) to review.....hopefully an "S" and the other models will make an appearance in the near future...

@tinks43 7 лет назад

The quickshifter looks the dream! 😀

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yeah I love a decent quickshift and this one works a treat...

@marksmith8663 7 лет назад

The last model had ABS but not traction control . I will test ride one soon . They improved the already great bike . Top review as always 👍

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+mark smith Indeed - Thank you Mark...

@marksmith8663 7 лет назад

Food for thought What's the under seat storage like on the 765 ? As fit tools , puncher repair kit and waterproof trousers under the seat on the 2014 model . O and could the bar end mirrors transfer to a older street triple model as the look like they do the job much better 🤔

@volt7cooltangs701 7 лет назад

Another top quality vid MIssenden F. Is this your full time job now? as I imagine the editing time takes ages.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Well I wouldn't call it a "job" (as normally you get paid for those!) but it is certainly taking all my time at the moment yes....thanks for watching - TMF

@IanTed 7 лет назад

Ride a GS but if I had another bike the RS would keep it company, great review.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

A great combo Ian, you're clearly a man of taste!

@teelol 7 лет назад

I ll get my RS next week and it will be my first bike 😅 I just loved the handling when I tested it. And I really got bad conscience when you stated that it is not a bike for new Riders, maybe I ll ride in rain mode the first weeks 🤣

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Not a bad idea! Enjoy....and best of luck......

@djl6825 7 лет назад

My first bike was, and still is, a 2014 Street Triple R. Some people questioned my choice but my answer was a simple one......regardless of power and performance, my bike will only ever go as fast as my right hand tells it to!!

@threethrushes 7 лет назад

Snowflare I also rode my XSR900 in the 'rain mode' for a couple of months before graduating to 'standard'. One day I hope to unleash the fury of all the horses in 'sport' mode. Until then, ride safe and RESPECT the bike's lust for power.

@ryanbrown7240 7 лет назад

I just got the RS 4 weeks ago as my first bike kept it in rain mode for the first week took it easy getting use to the bike. Now I feel completely comfortable on it enjoy it!!

@dankirkham1610 7 лет назад

only went and got one of these bad boys, speced it out to hell and thwapped 1k miles on it as soon as possible so I can now ride her for what she is built for. Fecking amazing fella. Get the screen, heated grips, arrow stubby and ride it like you stole it 😃😃😃

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Glad you're enjoying it Dan, great bikes aren't they....

@dankirkham1610 7 лет назад

well after my 2013 street r and 2014 speed r both with quickshifters, I was wondering whether the jump down would be wise. Bought it blind without test ride or owt to have my first ride on one when mine was just mins before registered and I was given the keys. Bloody well done Triumph, glad I trusted them to good an amazing job 🤘 BOUSH 🤘

@SMU_3L 7 лет назад

Do you have a photo of the screen on your bike by any chance?

@LinuxGalore 7 лет назад

talked to rider on the weekend who had swapped from the MT-O9 to this. He found the engine on the MT-09 nice but he hated the suspension. He tried the new Street Triple and fell in love with it.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yes the suspension on the STRS is brilliant.....one of my favourite features as you saw....

@memalley 7 лет назад

Please do a video on your video and audio setup! Specifically, which attachments you use to make that GoPro rig on your helmet. Thanks, love your content.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I'm not sure there's enough to warrant a video, there really is no secret! The kit I use is all listed in the description below...cheers and thanks for the kind comments - TMF

@lrcb40 7 лет назад

SWEET!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Andrew Nichols Cheers :0)

@Banditmanuk 7 лет назад

Triumph have done a great job with that engine, more power and euro 4 compliant. They must be confident in the reliability of the new triple as I believe Triumph are suppling a version of this engine for the moto 2 championship next year.....rumoured to make 150 - 160bhp. Having ridden this bike I do think it suits the slightly shorter rider, I was a little cramped.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yeah the bike is physically fairly small I guess, suits me at 5'8" a treat though...and yes I had heard that about Moto 2 as well, will be interesting to see how that pans out...thanks for watching again, always good to hear from you - TMF

@monsternrg4219 7 лет назад

Hey missendenflyer, great video like always,can you please review of the new 2017 Yamaha R6?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

As soon (if) one becomes available to me I certainly will - loved the old model so really looking forward to that one....

@Pavan_Kesineri 7 лет назад

For me top 1 is the sound ... Just love the way it sings...

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yeah, I did say it was hard to rank my favourite things, that engine does sound lovely....

@samiam8779 7 лет назад

Greetings from Sydney, Australia! I really enjoy watching your informative vlogs, especially when you cover things like night riding and cleaning etc. I was just wondering what is the cubic capacity of this bike? (675cc, 765cc, or is a litre?) Secondly, may I ask how tall are you? (I'm 6'1" and was wondering it would be comfortable for a taller rider.) Cheers!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks Sam (I love the internet) - this is the 765, the old bike was 675. I'm 5'8" tall, so not that tall but I've not heard anyone complain that it's too small a bike for taller riders....thanks for watching all the way down there - cheers - TMF

@farazbaber7239 7 лет назад

Looking forward to your long term review - still think you should do a demo on suspension adjustments and setting of the Showa forks if you can. Also, it would be good to review performance in wet weather conditions a the supercorsa's, I am told, struggle a little with grip?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Stay tuned for my "living with" video where I ride it in the wet (no issue by the way on the Super Corsas....loved 'em so much I've just bought a pair for my STR)....

@badger4361 7 лет назад

I want an analogue rev counter on that wee beastie. Triumph make lovely bikes, they've never really done it for me though. But I'm glad they exist.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Fair enough....

@daithimurphy1832 6 лет назад

Analog on the s model

@patthewoodboy 6 лет назад

I wanted to buy one , but my wife loves going pillion and the seat looked aweful , so she bought me a street twin instead , what a wife i have :-)

@jaylepp 4 года назад

Jonathan Vogel Hi there there how is the speed for pillion please . Having the same dilemma 🤔

@pauld5812 7 лет назад

Best bike I've owned. Love it.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Glad to hear it Paul, I did say Street Triples were good!

@pauld5812 7 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer I sold my 2015 Kawasaki Zx10r to buy it and I don't have any regrets so far.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Great stuff :0)

@HalfdeadRider 7 лет назад

Love Triumphs triples, maybe I will ride one some time after I get my licence. Odd number cylinders are well known to be smooth as they tend to be better balanced than engines with even numbers of cylinders.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Indeed they are.....

@emptyjampot6634 8 месяцев назад

One is an odd number. KTMs large single cylinder is a big thumper.

@ghettomoto3804 7 лет назад

Great video and please keep them coming. I'm thinking about getting this bike to replace both my Monster 1200s and Duke 390. 3 questions 1) How do you think it would be on a longer ride (300-400 miles). I've always been on nakeds so I get the wind issue, I'm just wondering about comfort in general 2) At highway speeds (75mph here) is it buzzy? What RPM are you at? I ask these questions, because I'm looking for the one bike to rule them all. The Duke has completely ruined me and now I just love light bikes. It just doesn't have the power. The Monster on the other hand is a beast, but I think I'm going to miss that power. This seems like a good compromise in the middle. What do you think?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yes excellent idea...to your questions (1) Should be OK, the bike is no less comfy than any other I've ridden. I've done 300 miles on mine before and it was no problem. (2) You've no need to worry about that, no buzziness anywhere, the triple is smooooooth....enjoy!

@peterhart4942 7 лет назад

enjoyed this video a lot! Perchance a triple espresso this morning?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Hehe, I see what you've done there! :0)

@MrBoybergs 7 лет назад

Another excellent video; thank you. A minor point about the latest trend for quick-shifters. If they work both up AND DOWN the gearbox, then I can see the point. However, if they're capable of upshifts only, I really cant see why they are useful. I ride an 18 year old vfr800 and it still performs clutchless upshifts beautifully. Maybe I'm missing something obvious (tbh I've never had the chance to try one out) so I'm more than happy for the benefits to be pointed out :)

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Well not all gear boxes are that happy to clutchlessly up-shift and if you get it wrong you can damage your box, so I guess it';s just a bit more of a foolproof method to have the ignition cut (and therefore the drive) at the point you change cogs....I love them!

@MrBoybergs 7 лет назад

Thanks for the reply. That makes perfect sense. Guess I need to try it out for myself. Please keep the reviews coming; they're always excellent.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+warren goldstein very kind of you to say so, thanks (and will do)....

@VMFKaiserSosa 7 лет назад

And how are these SuperCorsas on wet roads? The tires are made for the track, what use do they have on the street in our constantly rainy conditions?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Well I'll find out soon as I was so impressed with these I bought a pair to put on my Street Triple R :0) (and I rode the RS in the wet today, no problems)...

@user-sv6qq8tp9x 7 лет назад

can you still have fun on it when no one looking i.e. a wheely...cool video as always... don't agree with not a first bike but that's for another day

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I'm too rubbish a rider to try, but I have seen other videos of it wheelieing so it's 100% possible....

@alf786 7 лет назад

hey kids!! err ok lol does sometimes feel too smooth no? but with a nice Hp corse it will be brill. the TFT def best things on it preferred the darker contrast which i could change background and not keep it white. nice video cheers

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+alf786 You're welcome, thanks for watching and for stopping by - TMF

@pommeybiker 7 лет назад

gun to your head and have to own this or a standard Mt10 with quick shifter. for commuting and scratching and daily tight filtering. part availability, servicing and reliability. which one?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I've never ridden a standard MT10 but hope to soon...then I'll let you know ;0)

@tgrey2555 7 лет назад

For gods sake man, you're going to cost me a fortune and another space in the garage. Bravo good review and am due to test it this week.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Take your wallet :0)

@mikelee1923 7 лет назад

Great review would be interesting to compare it with my 05 speed triple?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I think you'd love this new upstart :0)

@51chuchu 6 лет назад

Sir, What is ground clearance of RS model??

@jamesosborne754 5 лет назад

Hi TMF not a Question about the RS ( I’m lucky enough to have a 2 weeks old one ) but I was wondering what Mike you are using for the Audio ? , it’s very clear.

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

EBay lavalier !

@jamesosborne754 5 лет назад

Thanks Mate , I’ll have a look 👍🏻🎤

@TheJmebe 7 лет назад

Although I've owned various Japanese inline 4s, v-4s, v-twins, parallel-twins, BMW boxers and BMW inline 4s, I've never tried a Triumph triple - got close to buying a Daytona 955i once! From what I can hear in the video, the TST-RS has a lovely mix of inline 4 smoothness and v-twin burble - I guess the power/torque curves and outputs are somewhere between the two for the same capacity. Sounds great and by the description of everything else, it rides and handles really sweetly. A touch pricey when compared to the MT09?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I'm not sure how much the MT-09 is - I think the RS is good value given it's Ohlins & Brembos....thanks for watching...TMF

@MUNRO13 7 лет назад

Can you review the Ducati Supersport? Would be very interested to see that, especially if you compared it to the Street Triple.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I would love too but sadly the local Ducati dealer never returns my calls or answers my e-mails :0( I will keep trying....

@paulashby5745 7 лет назад

Have subscribed, i never normally subscribe but your videos are just plan fun to watch :) wondered if yourself or anyone would have a view between the 2017 Street triple RS and the 2017 MT-09? any feedback would be welcome. keep up the good work TMF.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Well I've not ridden an MT09 yet, but I'm hoping too at some point soon...and then you can rest assured I'll be doing that comparison! Thanks for the sub, good to have you along! - TMF

@owenwales4328 7 лет назад

Judging by the early comments, this bike is going to sell like hot cakes. I'm waiting for the duke 790 though..

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I'm sure it will, terrific machine...

@lucytherottweiler79 7 лет назад

If only this was the new Daytona. It would be the most perfect 'road' sportbike. Ridden the new striple, amazing, but God I wish it was a Daytona!! just me

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

No I don't think it's just you, there's a lot of latent Daytona love out there going to waste I sense....

@irritatedmushroom2 7 лет назад

I like the fact that triumph have put top spec components on bike - Ohlins, Brembo, etc. Triumph in previous years have to me always come across as just a little bit cheeky and overpriced for what you're actually getting but the new RS looks properly good. Expensive though... and it ought to have a blipper for downshifts...

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Well I think less that £10K for a bike of this spec is pretty good...

@irritatedmushroom2 7 лет назад

The Yamaha MT09 is £7,799. Three cylinder, traction control, ABS, Quickshifter, riding modes, no colour dash or Ohlins suspension but both front and rear are adjustable for preload and dampening. For road riding, the average rider would probably be hard pressed to tell the difference if both bikes were set up properly. If it really was that much of an issue the £2200 saving could go towards an Ohlins set up but, meh. Suspension wouldn't be where I'd spend the extra money. Even an MT10 with a bit of sweet talking at the dealership wouldn't be difficult to get for less than 10k.

@mbtfp 6 лет назад

Can you do a review on your BMW Enduroguard jacket that you are wearing? I´m interested how good the waterproofing is ;)

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Err, it's not a BMW jacket.......

@mbtfp 6 лет назад

Dang! Could have sworn to recognize the Enduroguard jacket. Happy Xmas btw :)

@jamsxr 7 лет назад

I do love the Triumph quick shifter. Upgraded from the 899 to the 675R and it's far superior.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Really? I find the Triumph QS excellent, but the Panigale is pretty much the same if not better....you should try a BMW one!

@jamsxr 7 лет назад

My 899 was not bad but needed to be revved high to operate smoothly, the Triumph is butter smooth throughout the rev range, it also has no problem with 1st to 2nd shifts, which my 899 didn't enjoy. I've ridden the S1000RR and S1000XR and didn't find them very good, not so much the quick shifter, but gear selection felt loose and vague. The auto blipper on the XR was clunky but that could have been down to the fact it was a new bike. The Aprilia V4 units are also really good but not quite as good as the 675. Maybe it's the lighter engine load making for smoother changes opposed to a better quick shifter.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

How interesting, I think it also varies depending on the wind when the QS was fitted, my 899 shifts as slickly as you like in first and 2nd with very little load, the Triumph however is a bit clunky down there but generally very good with a boit of load.....and the BMW, well that's for the farmers!

@jamsxr 7 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer interesting, it seems no one bike is the same. Maybe the later 899's are improved as I've heard a few reports of not so slick shifters. Shame there is not a new Daytona for Triumph to lend you!

@sudeepgowda1328 7 лет назад

TMF What's the full tank range of the new STR?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

It's interesting you should ask that as I was riding it a lot yesterday and was trying to work it out based on the range it was showing me - at best with a fully topped up tank I saw a range of 189 miles, but as soon as I started riding a little more aggressively it dropped to 140....so let's assume about 165 in reality. Certainly seems better than my older 2012 model...

@dougie1325 7 лет назад

Thanks TMF, this bike is definitely on my list to test ride. My only question is price, I think the MT10 is similar cost and therefore is the MT10 a better bike choice.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Well, I know which one I'd have ;0)

@Fixin-To 7 лет назад

Dougie I've ridden them back to back and the RS stole the show.

@dougie1325 7 лет назад

Thanks Adam, the lighter bike does sound more appealing to me. I'm guessing TMF you're an MT10 convert over the Striple? But then you own and have ridden one for some time and something completely new/different in the garage is always a good idea.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Well I do love the Street Triple as you know, but you're probably right, the Yamaha is a totally different riding experience.....

@user-sv6qq8tp9x 7 лет назад

thanks for your reply. I wish I could as well ;-).... just interested with all the safety stuff as long as it can be turned off if I'm feeling brave...... triumph world Chesterfield still won't let me test ride one yet....:-(

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Why won't they??

@user-sv6qq8tp9x 7 лет назад

only had a licence for 10 months dude..

@user-sv6qq8tp9x 7 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer just thought my dad has had his for year's.... I wonder what he's doing this weekend ;-)

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Your time will come!

@ChipsCooper 7 лет назад

The choice of colours is one of my main gripes about the new street triple r the white looks real mundane plus the matt silver and black colours do nothing for me at all probably stop me from upgrading my 2012 model.Had a test ride and thought triumph have done a great job upgrading the bike.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yes I 100% agree on that, the paint scheme is a real disappointment to me too - not a patch on my gloss black and gold 2012 STR...but as you say, Triumph have done a great job on how this thing rides in comparison....

@Ndeasington 7 лет назад

Only gripes I have after test riding it the other day are that :- 1. The stand is a bit fiddly to get your foot on when trying to put it down (would be better putting a little tang on it like the Speed Triple has) 2. It's hard to 'feel' that you have in fact contacted and put on the indicators (there's no positive 'click' so I found myself always looking down at the screen to ensure they are in fact on) 3. If you buy the tail tidy then you have to also buy the led indicator which is an additional £70 for the pair and then you would simply have to buy the front pair too (I have OCD so would HAVE to buy the front pair!!) So that's another £140 before fitting. A bit cheeky if you ask me as no one in their right mind would live with the rear cluster-f*** that is there from factory (see what I did there?) 🤣 4. There's isn't a 4 from me.........it's bloody lovely. I could see that I may get a bit 'precious' about it if/when I buy one..........oh well 😊🏍💨🌧

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Hehe, glad you liked it Nick - and I completely agree about the switch gear.....

@randomblades 7 лет назад

Nick Spiple Fan you don't need to buy the indicators, originals fit right on. I've bought one and had tail tidy fitted

@Ndeasington 7 лет назад

Buckskin Good to know. How does the tail tidy look? A lot better is it? Cheers 🍻

@randomblades 7 лет назад

Nick Spiple Fan Tidy's it up nicely, which is the point I guess. Buy one, class machine

@Ndeasington 7 лет назад

Buckskin I think I will be mate. Just waiting for my daughter to leave nursery then I will have a spare billion.........😂 Can't wait 🤑

@wayne_coleman 7 лет назад

Great vid MF. But I'm curious, If you had to choose this or the MT10SP which would it be? Money no object.

Difficult one as I love owning a Triumph....but eventually I'd go for the Yamaha (mental machine)...

@10secondsrule 7 лет назад

I would love to get one but not sure what the insurance hike is going to be compared to the old model. Would be interested if you keep comparing it to the old model as you have a good reference. Also talking about handling and feel everybody should get their suspension professionally set. I had my street triple R set for my riding style and weight and the difference was extraordinary it was like a different bike the feel and handling was superb. The best spend 60 quid. At the end thieves enjoyed though:( I do it with every bike now the second I buy it.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I'm thinking of getting my suspension set up on the STR - out of interest where did you get yours done?

@djpingu78 7 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer try BN Race Science based in Twickenham. Initial set up very good, plus free check up within 6 months or 3000 miles

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks...

@jamesosborne754 5 лет назад

Wow - cheap as Chips as well 🙂

I thought the bike had self cancelling indicators?

@G3A3 7 лет назад

i can't get over that ugly headlight/instrument cluster, but i guess some will like that look, heaven knows why.

+Loganx5 I have to admit the new front end doesn't work for me either....

@EEEBA1 7 лет назад

Loganx5 When your are riding it you don't see it so it's all good :)

@SplendidCookie 7 лет назад

I love that look.

@theincrediblesulk5543 7 лет назад

Did you find it a bit twitchy? Also I noticed when Reving the bike out there is a second hit of power that comes in quiet abruptly did you find this?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Nope not at all, I found it very stable and very predictable - maybe you rode a dud!

@colazilla 7 лет назад

Can we expect a 5 things you dislike to keep it balanced? I know Triumph have kindly loaned you the bike but would be interested to hear!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

...I will be giving a warts an' all summary when I do my "living with the Street Triple RS" video in a few days time....it's not a perfect bike by any means (as you'll see)....

@colazilla 7 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer marvellous! Looking forward

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Stay tuned!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

You are kidding Alex? I would so love it to have really been you....I love coincidences (and thanks for watching the whole video!)

@ducatininja3866 5 лет назад

Why oh why couldn't they put the cruise control on this bike

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

Dunno....

@guth21776 7 лет назад

what happened to a motorcycle being a cheap form of transport for the working man? 10k? is that cheap? can we have some second hand reviews for some of your followers who cant afford 10 k. love your reviews by the way

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yes I agree with that...and funny you should mention the second hand thing...stay tuned!

@guth21776 7 лет назад

ffolk say if you want to see reviews on old bikes then there are many on RU-vid, but I enjoy how you review bikes , very informative , the modern day William Wollard and I mean that with great respect . great work tmf

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Wow, I'm a huge William Woollard fan, what an amazing thing to say - thank you (oh, and I met Judith Hann once)....

@quigonjay9 7 лет назад

This or mt10 for same money?

@vinnyd8108 7 лет назад

quigonjay9 Good point, I would go for the MT10 and I really like Triumphs. But why go for a 765cc when you could get a litre bike for the same money ??!!!!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Agreed, I'd take the MT-10....

@capz3217 7 лет назад

The MT10 has an amazing (sounding) engine, but I'm not sure I could get over the Transformer looks.

@vinnyd8108 7 лет назад

quigonjay9 Just think or it more as Johnny 5 😂

@capz3217 7 лет назад

Input! MORE INPUT! :D

@GrumpyGarry121 7 лет назад

So let's examine the term pokey...... is it torque or power (hp) ? I would say torque.... isn't it when something moves a bit faster or harder than you expected. A pleasurable experience. I am talking bollocks.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I think pokey is more of a blend of torque and power - yes, torque+power=total poke

@hudsonrilke 7 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer careful lol. It means "goes like shit off a shovel"

@hudsonrilke 7 лет назад

Nice bike. Seems tame after the MT10. Wish I could get my mic clear like yours. All I'm getting is wind noise.

@johna6968 7 лет назад

Never really been one to say whether a certain bike is good for new riders or not. Seen some pretty awful experienced riders. It's down to the individual and their capabilities to be honest

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Very true, but generally speaking my view is very new riders should start on lower power machines for a few months to learn their craft....100bhp + new rider = Trouble

@johna6968 7 лет назад

I would have agreed in the old days when stepping up from your fs1e on 17th birthday, but nowadays most these guys have had recent training and already spent time on bikes with decent power

@jerryx2000 7 лет назад

This vs Tuono 1100.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Hmm, think the Tuono would probably win that one....

@jerryx2000 7 лет назад

are you sure about that? The Tuono weighs 215 kg & the STR 186kg. In tight twisties the STR will win. Only on open race tracks & roads with a better rider the Tuono would win. But would you want to risk your life for that?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Nope.....

@donmackie3584 7 лет назад

Just bought an R. Delivers next week. Conflicted about selling (trading) my Monster 1200 though. If I let go of the Monster it'll be the first time in years there won't be a Ducati in the garage. I also have a Ninja for a daily. I fear I'll miss the snark of the Ducati but who needs three bikes? 😎

@jerryx2000 6 лет назад

Don Mackie how's you triple? Any issues? Jerky throttle at all speeds?
