Triumph Speed Triple RS rider review 

love my 2003 speed triple 92000 mil still screaming like new

I love my 2020. I don’t find its power to be stupendous like the reviewer seems to think but it’s got enough to handle any need I’d even encounter on the street. Online you can find owners having issues with their gearbox but mine has never missed a shift. It’s a pleasure to ride, the weight is fine, power is sufficient. It’s a perfect bike for me, planning to own it for years.

Great vid. Nice mix of music and video footage. Hope to see more reviews.

You guys are incredible..! Keep it warm 🔥

Nice review on a fantastic street motorcycle. I have a 2010 675 STR with Arrow 3-1 and Supersprox 520 conversion with 2T larger rear sprocket, KyleUsa linear linkage with Ohlins TR805 shock, and this bike pulls so hard in top gear on the backroads that I rarely need to downshift although I have the Triumph QuickShifter if I feel the need. So I can imagine how the Speed Triple rarely needs downshifting for fast riding in most situations. The biggest problem these motorcycles have is keeping your driver's license!

I had a tear with one of these on track vs my Aprilia tuono. They are deceivingly quick!

That Pie looked awesome. 🤘

Great Review & Great to see you back in the game guys!

Wicked review guys . Classic 6T 👌😎

Hey guys, a great review of a great bike. I have the previous 2016 Speed R and love it. It was a close choice between this and the S1000R but the Speed in the UK is a bit cheaper and mine came loaded with heated grips, quick shifter and the US Arrows, which means the baffles were easily removed. It pops and burbles lovely. I'm sure the new RS is even better. I've never heard anyone say they were disappointed in owning this bike. I have got my eye on the Tuono Factory for my next bike however, maybe.

Awesome work fellas, really great to see some local boys putting out some high quality reviews. You seem like pretty interesting fellas, why not take it a step further and do some different types of content like the 44 Teeth boys?

Lovely looking bike. White paint scheme really sets it off. Good review.

Awesome Video ! Thanks for sharing!

Great review mate, but a quickshifter is a must! I had a go on a BMW S1000RR track bike at Phillip Island with an up and down quickshifter and they are a must for a sport bike as far as I’m concerned! The Triumph is a lovely looking bike. Sounds great as well. I’d love to try it around Phillip Island without having to worry about the pesky HWP.

Good videos often make me want to go for a joy ride but yours nearly made me go to the supermarket.

SO. MANY. WARNING. STICKERS ⚠️ Great vid guys. Good to see a familiar road, too. 😉

Can’t wait to see the pie you use to describe the new 2021 Speed Triple RS 😆

where was this channel for the last 10 years of my life !haha brilliant !

I have the 2016 speed triple S and it is amazing so I have no doubt the RS would just further add to perfect. I do have a low exit SC Project exhaust that really does the triple sound justice (not like the arrows). It screams and pops and crackles. Any speed triple purchase MUST get the quick shifter. I got the factory one when I bought the bike and it’s amazing. The sound of smashing through gears is intoxicating. Don’t get an after market quick shifter, I have been there previously and they are never as good.

Damit! Came to see a beating bike and now im freaking hungry!!! Hahaha! Great video!

Hi, about time you guys put out a vid. Great work. I would like to see the old model up against this one in the real world, I bet there's really not much in it. 👍

subscribed, awesome review!

great as always

Awesome review, stumbled across you guys as I'm currently in the market for a new bike. Subscribed.. Care to review the S1000R as well.. It's a choice between this and the BMW.. They're about teh same price from what I can gather.

Fantastic bike great video 👍

You had me hooked up until you mentioned the Aussie price! God damn they sure know how to rip us off down here! Anyway awesome review guys, you've gained a new sub from me.

I just came off 13 mos. & 12k miles on an MT09 (a '19 with adjustable suspension) that was quite enjoyable. I walked into my Yam/Kaw/Triumph/Indian dealer last month to see his last '19 Speed Triple S marked too far down to resist. I had almost bought a Speed3 back in '03 but instead bought an Suzi SV1000. Now I was confronting a deal too good to refuse. Though having excellent Showa suspension rather than the Ohlins and no IMU, otherwise this is the same bike as the RS. I love it so far! If my playful MT09 was the 2 month old beagle, this is his bigger, somewhat more muscular late adolescent brother with much more controlled "legs" under him! A more refined and better finished bike than the Yamaha it is also more comfortable while having that "plush controlled" nature of a superior suspension. The broad and flat midrange torque does make shifting optional. You could ride all day with just 1st and 4th gear. I owned an "05 ZX10 for 10 years so I am no novice to high performance. The Kawi was far and away the finest bike I had ever owned until this S3. The new MT09 with the SP suspension will no doubt address the shortcomings of my '19 model but the 150+ cc advantage will still have the Triumph as the better all-rounder for me. Want more insanty? Get the new T 1200 RS!

I love this bike

6:12 Showing my age here, but I can remember back far enough to a road test of a brand new Norton Commando 850 which impressed the tester by doing 4mph or fast walking pace in 1st with the clutch fully engaged on idle.

I had a 2018 Speed Triple RS and the average consumption was around 4,8 litres per 100 km (even with riding aggressively on the twisties) so theoretically you could do 300 km without refueling. Regarding optional extras, I think it's BS that pretty much all the manufacturers do that. They charge top dollars for their flagship bikes and you still have to put hundreds if not thousand of dollars to get the extras. I understand the lack of heated grips but if these bikes are meant to be beasts and super performers, how can they justify not including a quickshifter...

I want a 1050 Speed Triple so much, as my second bike...

Had 4 speedies, last one was a 16 R, was disappointed in the power felt not much quicker than my 06, got rid of it and bought an MT10 SP absolutely love the Yammy, in saying that the speed triples build quality was top notch!

Nice video man! Love from Philippines. P.S. I subscribes to your channel sir

That was a rather interesting rendition of Lacrimosa.

Best review of the Speed RS yet, well done guys.

I would LOVE to own a triumph. To bad that where I live they have royally screwed up the insurance for them. I can get halv coverage on a Ducati Monster 1200 with 160hp for $700/year but the street triple and speed triple can only be insured for $1100/year. The only reason I can think of is it might have something to do with Ducati owners not actually riding their bikes and thus landing in a lower bracket

Nice ... regarding that pulling off without throtle ... well my 2011 shiver on sport mode can do that too (not that smooth though). And I am not sure if it is not some pull assist on ST like Suzuki has.

Does it get hot with the pipes under the seat? Never owned a bike with that layout.

I've got a Tiger and have long been a Triumph fan... but the gorilla's in the supernaked room need to be answered... Super Duke and Tuono - how does the updated triple compare to the dueling kings?

Is it possible to get the playlist used in this video? Some good music

A proppa bike! Love it

Awesome pie

Triumph better come out with the new Daytona 765R soon before end of times!

Nothing goes better together than Triumph and meat pies #UKBrit

amazing machine

As long as you don't stay in low gear, you can easily do 280 km on that 15L tank.

Triumph Speed Triple, Suburban Delinquent's secondary m/c: Hooligan Bike is BACK!!!

For road and a fun track day, this or the new 765 Street triple RS 2020?

Hmmm what about the less expensive, less over the top 765 Speed Triple price wise in Australian dollars?

This bike (RS trim) is 15k here in the states. The Aprilia Tuono RR is about the same price while the Tuono Factory is 17k. Super Duke is around 20k.

Love this bike but insurance kills me, had to opt for smaller.

I've got one. its a beast

Em was this a bike or pie video 🤔 nice video and good watch.

Nice bike but think id still go an mt10 for that r1 engine, seeing its at the same price point here in aus

Simple question the triple or ktm duke ? I’ve read all the reviews on both and there are a tons of mix ideals so which one !!!? I can’t make up my mind before I buy 🤷🏻‍♂️

Aussies love their pies 😂

So... what would be a more appropriately priced equivalent?

What is meant by steering head lock? What I'm familiar with is the anti-theft device. You won't be using that during turns.

@6Tdegrees I'm confused. Did you just praise it for going forward after finding the biting point of the clutch ??

I own the R version and the RS is such an improvement I’ll agree!

Great bike love mine 🇬🇧🎺🎺🎺

Harley’s idle forward. It’s the wet clutch.

can you guys please test the new street triple RS and compare?

😎I have one and it's not half bad

6Tdegrees, how tall are you, I'm thinking about getting one but I don't know if I am the right height?

What camera did you use to make video?

Damn, beautiful bike rearward of the forks....Can I "shit can" that ugly headlight pod and get something that doesn't look like a praying mantis head. Was looking a one in the dealer today and love the bike as long as I don't look a the front.

can you review the yamaha mt09 sp?

12000$ for Street Triple in my country, hard to justify lots of good 1000CC. naked at the same cost, and Speed Triple not available in my country either.

Please, for the love of all that is good, pure, and holy, please never remix Mozart again. Great review as usual, boys.

i find if i invite the wind, it's effect on me is dampened

The new triumph meat pie

Fuck I want that meatpie

I’m Hungry. And not for pie.

Great video, but weaving does nothing to put heat in the tires... MotoGP riders do it to knock off any bits of gravel and dirt.

No throttle take off. Rocket III does that.

Is this as good as a KTM superduke?

Very very niiice, even the Street RS for that matter $6-7K less.. but why would you knowing you could have had a Tuono..?

Less pie, more speed triple... thanks

WHAT! no quick - out of the gate. you lost me. WTF are you thinking Triumph.

Was this a motorcycle review or a Gordon Ramsey review?

Cast kitna hai

A tad more drama than review; given the expertise, shame it’s not the other way around. But here’s my question, in Canada these bikes are selling for $18 300cdn ( $19,257.83 aus). And, there are “sales” prices on the S model that bring it closer to $15 500cdn. Wonder why the difference in price?

Is this 2019 model ? Different from 2018?

Cost

I. own one , its a blest.

6:16 my FZ-07 can do that easily

Sorry but all I can hear is the sounds "æ, ee, o, oo, aw" being used in wrong words. Waaay too distracting Other than that, good review

Wtf is a meat pie?

problem is their 2-3 grand overpriced. for what they want for this bike you can a tuono or sdr, and those 2 bikes are on a whole other planet than the speed triple, where they are the only 2 at that level

25k? I’d get N aprillia over that any day

Only $24K because the Pacific Pesos is down the dunny and shows no signs of recovery, wait until bikes built in Euro currency countries are refreshed, $39.5k BMW GSA's won't feel that much.

Love Triumph but this speed triple looks sooooo borring 🙄

to much screaming up each to they own
