Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2019 😎 // 1000 Mile Owners Review 💭 

Not my saying. “When you park your bike, while walking away, if you don’t look back. You bought the wrong bike” 👍🏼

Just bought a 2018. What a bike. It's bike porn, i've never felt so close to bike. I sat on my old 1050 sport, I slip into the 765RS. great review.

Hi Kate, I enjoyed this quickie review as you covered a lot of ground from a pros perspective, and I always enjoy the ride.

Awesome I've got the same triumph street triple rs and I'm with you about starting the bike and the quick shifter done the same thing as you. Today going to my dealer for the recall on the front brakes great vlog take care ride safe TTFN

I test rode one of these for the shop I go to to do a bit of advertising for them. I have the 865 Thruxton, not exactly a sport bike. And frankly, I never rode a sport bike until I test rode the 765. Boy did I fall in love with that bike. It's a quality bike for sure. Nimble, responsive, quick, sounds good, feels good, is good. I was most impressed with the braking. Going from a single disc to a dual disc was a revelation. Quality, catchy, and quite a funny review! Much enjoyed! Cheers!✌️

Nice review,used to own 2017 speed r, when i sold it, really miss it,can see myself with one of these in future 👍😊ride safe

Hello Kate watched you on Teapotone's Podcast so thought I'd take a look in and ended up subscribing, just love the accent and good videos

Nicely put together. I've got 745miles on my RS and honestly, I'm in love. I agree the start up process does seem a tad long, but you know, there is so much tech on this bike, it's probably half the reason why. Hey, you never know, Triumph may give us a firmware upgrade soon and quicken the process. Jesus, that is odd to say. :) Whilst I'm on positives, that triple soundtrack when you give it some beans is just the best sound. I can't get enough of it. Quiet-ish on idle, but you can't have everything. I don't want to pay 6-700 for a new pipe, I'd rather spend that money elsewhere. I'm not overly happy about the clutch lever. I find it closer to the firm side to keep pressed in at times. I demo'd the CB and CBR650R before I purchased the RS and those levers really spoilt me, sooo light. Bar end mirrors are unhelpful for me too, I have to be careful getting out the garage between our car and the bins!!!!! Such as bar end mirrors though hey, they look great and don't give you a picture of your arms when riding. I bought white too, black didn't show the detail for me, but still, the bike is an absolute stunner.

Hi Kate, new Sub from California. Female rider and bought the RS a few moths ago. Love this bike. 💚. It goes nicely with my BMWS1000R. Best of both worlds. Fun, light, fast and I love the display. I swapped the exhaust for a Yoshi Alpha and it sounds good.

Hi Kate, thanks for that it was very good and to hear what you had to say and to hear what you found out thanks and it's good to no and to keep in mind and look forward to more about the triumph Paul

Listening to this english girl's voice with the view of the bike and the road just very satisfying...

Don’t fret about the quick shift, my old 80s Guzzi Le Mans did that with the clutch. No quick shifting on those. You just have to get used to it. Looks like small beer on that bike. Great review.

I use to ride a Daytona 675R and ive nothing but good things to say about Triumph. Glad you’re enjoying your new bike ride safe 👍🏻Adam 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Yup...got the same on my Speed RS, the suspension can be a bit harsh for a bumpy road. The firing up thing seems to be since the Daytona 675 inception. The Speed RS got a quickstart which allows starting before the dash is fully up.

Good choice Kate. You have to be comfortable on your bike. I owned a Street RS for 18 months and loved it.

Love the vlog lady, and you can ride too, you know how addictive that triple sound is? And I agree with everything you brought up, although I can't remember you bringing up that front brake? How good it is! But I'll forgive you 😉😁😎 great job well done, I have to be careful watching your vids though, my girlfriend got so jealous last night, when I came across your video 😆😆😆😆

New subscriber here. Gotta say I'm loving your reviews of all the bikes you've ridden. It's a breath of fresh air to see someone like you get away from some of the technical guff and just say what you feel about the bike. Keep the reviews coming. Stay safe. Regards from sunny Melbourne.

Nice overview of the bike Kate, I went with the Street Triple 765R [LRH] coz I'm a stumpy hahaha, love the engine and ride. I recently fitted rearsets to mine from the Daytona 675 and it has made a huge difference to my comfort when hard cornering! :-)

So RU-vid suggested this video today and this is definitely not the first time I am watching this particular video. In fact this video was probably one of my first interactions with this channel. At the time my thoughts were ‘ Woah! She’s one cool true blue motorcycle enthusiast with a lovely accent ’. 😂 Been subscribed since. Nice seeing the channel and herself grow as a person.

Having ridden the 950 hypermotard and the Street triple 765, I really do think you made the right choice. For me, better looking and a much better, more comfortable ride. :)

Hi Kate, I realise this is an old vid but interesting to see you cruising around Leyland and Preston. I've just switched from the 2013 675 R to a 2017 speed. So good! Get yourself to TW suspension in Ingol, North Preston for a suspension setup. Best £45 I ever spent. Totally transformed my 675 into an absolute weapon.

Lovely bike kate🏍, I've got mt09 an I love it ... can't wait for better weather lol...

Love your bike and review. 👍👍👍

I've had an RS for just over a year now. I got the gloss metallic black one which I still prefer having seen the more recent colour schemes. I weigh 11 stone and I found the default suspension settings too firm. I watched a video by a guy called Tony Moss who looked at this bike and gave some recommended settings for it - I followed his advice and now it is still firm but not, as you say, a "bucking bronco" so I'm really happy with that. It's a really easy job to change the settings by the way - Ohlins make it quite easy. I've not experienced any issues with the quickshifter and neutrals although, in my opinion, it's not the best quickshifter out there so I tend to to just feather the clutch going up unless I'm going mental. I've put a tail-tidy, radiator guard and passenger footrest blanking plates on it (Evotech) but haven't bothered with a pipe. I don't like really noisy bikes and the Trumpet already sounds good enough without upsetting all the neighbours.

Glad your enjoying your bike :) Love the colour :)

Glad you mention the starting issue. Thought i had a problem on my Rocket. Just starts when its ready and im slow. Must be the way the electrics are desighned, Always starts though. Nice log, You very good at it and have a good way of putting things over.

Suspension set for you is money well spent. The bike will be on another level, stock configurations are a thing of averages after all.

Came across your Chanel and subbed, have the 2018 1050 Speed RS, so love my triples, the Speed has a slow start up to but have no key to use it has a quick start function but still takes a few seconds, have to get around to setting the suspension at some point to, need new tyres as well have Diablo Rosso corsa ll on the Daytona there great for road and track. Great choice of bike welcome to the triumph family 👍🏻

Ayup Kate, great review but regards the quickshifter I've never had an issue with both mine on my old 675 and Mr 765rs...id check it's set up right cuz both mine been silky smooth! Also if you have the pennies get summat like a racefit can fitted... Omg it transforms the bike, mine sounds pure evil with one fitted! Anyow nice one, ride er safe lass... Bizz

Great bike. I bought the R version as I found it pulls better low down which I thought was more useful for my road riding than the bit extra the RS had up top at about 11,000rpm. I didn’t notice the suspension being much different between them to be honest. They are both set up for sporting riding out the box. I just added the quickshifter and heated grips. No issues starting the bike. Fires up immediately every time. I never use kill switch though. But the Street in all forms is a great bike I think. Best engine for me.

My wife rides the previous model 675, done 19,000 miles over 3 years on it. They are great bikes, think getting your feet down easily at stops adds lots to confidence in riding.

I put 12,000 miles on my 2018 triple an i love it. The only thing that has gone wrong with the bike is the gas tank meter broke which is covered of course. I ride hard so not bad. It chews through back tires.

You seemed to have overlooked the major issue where the speedo fogs up at speed lol

Loved the podcast with teapotone, nice vid

Hey Kate.. suspension setup is the most under rated mod you can do. You certainly will need new springs on at least the fork or the shocks, maybe both. Get it done and you won't look back! Glad you're enjoying it. FYI, subbed after your podcast with TeapotOne

Nice review UK and loving the exhaust sound. I have the same issue on my Ducati Supersport S between 5-6 you have to give it a decent whack otherwise you’ll hit neutral at high revs, it sure wakes you up. Btw did you ever consider the a Duk Supersport ?

Hi Kate, I have taken all the preload out of the front forks, turned fully clockwise until it won’t go any more, and set the compression and rebound to the soft setting listed in the book. On the rear I have adjusted the preload so only 3 of the threads are showing counting from the top, and I have the compression on 27 clicks, and the rebound on 16 clicks, anticlockwise. I weigh 68kg and on those settings it is a lot better, not getting bucked off in those lumpy corners. Have a play with your suspension or there are professionals that can set it up for your weight. If you go to a professional, ensure you test ride the bike before you leave, and request a soft setting for the road. I have put 3500 on my RS, brand new March 2019, I was so annoyed with the suspension I seriously considered getting rid, however, after playing about myself with the suspension, I am 90% happier. Good luck!,

Nice bike and thanks for posting. My Street R has a rather hard suspension setting which I've yet to adjust having barely run in as yet. However imho generally bikes are set too hard (for lighter riders) on the preload. I weight between 11 and twelve stone btw depending how greedy I'm being lol.

Lovely bike! I have a Daytona 675r but Im thinking of getting one of these as well

I’m SO torn! I think I need something smaller these days than my current Beemer (F800GS) but still like my tall screen for the cold. Even though I’m now in Australia we get really cold winters and I work shifts that require 17 layers of thermals. Can’t decide if I still want some wind protection. My wife’s from Hinckley so Triumph is definitely calling one way or another 😎👍🏼 top vid btw

A few years back when I rode a Sprint I was lent a Street Triple for the day, what a bike. I now ride a GSA but I’d have one of these in the garage any time. Regarding suspension, it’s your light weight, eat more or see a suspension specialist.😜 PS. The false gears is common with new Triumphs, drop the position of your gear lever a few notches on the splines.

I'd have one if I could fit on it. Great review - you are hilarious!

Ordered mine today, swopped my monster 821 also the rs now comes with a arrow exhaust at the moment so that’s a bonus . P.s great channel

Great video fantastic bike 👍

Great bike! Enjoyed the video. New sub from Aust.

6.07 😆 love it.

"Aw, do you want a race? That's cute" 😂

I like that Concept of this bike. It seems, makes you Go faster as it be Save.

Got to admit, triples sound amazing. Nice!

Great vid & ride cheers

Good riding and lovely bike

Kate telling me to "get the tissues ready"...🤣

Nice bike Kate 👍

As far as the false neutral you’re experiencing I have the 2018 STRS and I’ve never gone into a false neutral not once. I however have ridden my buddies Monster 821 and it went into false neutrals left and right to the point I didn’t want to ride it anymore.

Triples are superb, the Triumph is no exception.

Love the review, would you recommend as a first bike?

Agree, the bike is superb, false neutrals between 1-2 sometimes this is true, suspension hard but responsive and great only downside for me in 9700km a valve plate shattered went in to the cylinder, broke the piston and wrecked the engine. Bike is still in warranty so hopefully it will by sorted well

Excellent vid couldn't agree more got to be positive when going up gear box love the sound bitchen bike ive got 1050 rs loven it be l👀king out for youre videos

Gave up bikes 5 years ago, makes me want to get back on again

Hi Kate, fellow white '19 RS owner (and Lancastrian) here! Just put 1000 miles on mine, my first bike. Bloody love it! I also get neutral a fair amount, but I take it as a nice quirk as the rest of the bike is superb :) keep up the good work. Oh, do you get brake squeal?

Great choice in my opinion. Love love love my RS. Traded my 14' Speed Triple in for it. Amazing bike. Only complaint is the shit DOT turn signals they make Triumph put on for the US bikes. Getting some LEDs shipped from the UK to go on with a tail tidy. $200 but it's worth it.

Hi Kate, allow me one question: have you been doing longer trips like 200 miles (322 km) or a little more with it? Wondering how comfortable the seat would be for a tall guy. Found the stock seat on my duke 690 gets a little hard on a weekend trip. Would you say the triumph is more comfortable?

Lovely bike i test rode this and the 790 ended up preferring 790 but the world would be boring if we all liked the same thing😀 790 sounds awesome with Austin Racing can if i changed for anything would probably be Bmw R Nine T

Awesome Review Thanks

Kate i like your ride and style

I can tell by your lovely accent that you must be from Japan. LOL. Nice review.

Kate, could you do a Helmet/cam and mic set up video? I get so much wind noise and it does my head in. haha

Good objective assessment

1:43 ride that and also😲oh ok not what I thought

Hi i have the same bike with a SC project fitted sounds awesome, rode to Jerez for the moto GP on it just wish they did a comfort seat.

U never 9st ....lol Great vids lass . Im new to your channel From t pot s recomendation

I'm opposite! i bought the 790 duke, it sits nicely next to my 1290 & 390 dukes.

I have a 2018 RS, also love it, but I have hit the starter before the screen has fully run through it's startup. The bike will start even though the screen isn't done. Just an FYI.

Just stumbled on your video, I'm curious about your mic/helmet setup because this might be the clearest narration I've ever heard on a motovlog.

Love the Street Triple, you might like to check out a quick review I did on the T100 Bonnie

Also my understanding is the bikes from factory are set for an average male 12-13 stone weight. So you can soften it up a bit for your weight.

You should put a couple of fifty Sixers in your pocket lol that hold you down nice bike nice note.of it.i ride a kawasakie ninja 650 great bike

Hi Kate, you are more than welcome to try out MV Agusta Brutale RC to compare it against your Triumph

May I say I love your video I only wish I could ride as professionally as you! I am due to hire one of these soon so wanted to see some video footage of what people think about the bike so far mostly all good. My only concern is that it will be too fast for my level of experience. thanking you ride safe Roger

Look in the Owners manual and set it to "Comfort" setting.

Good overview of the 765 Kate.. loving my old 675 RX, I've also had the false neutral issue with the quickshifter.. what.a.penis. Anyway try getting yours to TW Suspension and see how you go!

Hi Kate. Did you consider the Speed Triple before buying the Street? I've demo'd both and can't make my mind up which I prefer, Street.....lighter and more flickable but with less torque; or Speed.....heavier but still very agile and with great gobs of torque and imo more road presence.

It's great to hear views from a female rider, l have this bike. However I find it very heavy. I rode a Yamaha TW125 for 20+ plus years. I've gotten used to the weight a bit, but still find it heavy after 1.5yrs.

Re quick shifter - when I took the RS out for a test ride (& subsequently purchase one) the dealer told me it should only be used from 2nd gear up - adopting this advice never had a problem

I know this is really old but do you think you can put a short video of it starting?

Had the 2017 RS. Damn I miss this bike so so so much.

On an ‘11 675 Speed Triple. My main complaint on the 2011 is later models have a gas gauge. I kinda want one. X-/ Thinking of moving to a 2016 ST 1050...

Do you shut off the bike with the kill switch? That could be why its not quick to start sometimes. I used to experience that issue with my yamaha R6. Then I noticed if I shut it off with the key instead, the issue went away. Something to try anyways...

I wouldn't know how to chose between this and the 790 to be honest. If I had the funds, I'd probably have both. Looking at getting a 390 for now though. Enjoy this absolutely fantastic bike that you have. Would you consider a slip on for it? I quite like the sounds of the SC project for this bike. Here in India, we are nutters for inline 4 bikes, but, personally, I feel that small singles, middle weight twins and triples are where the best fun for road biking can be had. Regarding the suspension, what is the setting you are on? Have you considered dialling it into the softest setting? If I do decide to jump one segment higher, then this is something that I would look at very carefully between the KTM and Triumph. That is why I ask.

Nice ‘review’😁 Still love my 790 😬😆 though the triumph seat is probably more comfortable on a full days ride🥴 Need a vid of Donald getting spanked on some country corners 😆 👍🏍🧡

nice bike good choice I think

V nicee e overtake. 🥃 😎 🐒 🏴

That's a great accent.

At 57kg you are pretty light. You may need to get the static sag looked at , probably need to get lighter springs

Had my street triple RS for over 2 years now and being a lightweight at around 65Kg I found the supension was stiff compared to my old Yamaha MT09. The RS suspension is fully adjustable and the manual has instructions for adjusting the suspension for race normal and soft. The other thing I found was that the stock Pirelli Corsa tyres have a very stiff carcase which is why you are getting thrown about when banked over on bumpy corners. So the other thing I did was replace them with Metzler roadtech 01 sports touring tyres. If this does not soften up the ride you could adjust the pre-load settings but specialist tools are required so you may want to take it to a shop and get them to do that.

I love this bike i'm big fan

Was you riding through Leyland to Lostock hall? Looks like near me

Is it powerful down the low speeds ?

I agree with the annoyance of the four second wait between turning the key and starting the engine. I mean what if you're John Wick or someone who gets chased by baddies every day?

The only thing i think this bike miss is a cruise control.
