Triumph Street Triple RS | Long Term Review 

CasterRides , you like looking like you’re riding a bug-eyed motorcycle?

Still haven’t grown on me

@@chivalrous_chevy1163 Same people crying about that wouldnt buy it also with round ones

Cris Cutter I own a 2018 MT09 (redesign) and have ridden the speed triple. To me, the rideability (throttle, input etc) is the same. The triumph feels lighter and a little more “centered”. I got off of it feeling good about saving 3-4 thousand dollars for a bit more bang for my buck. So, the opposite of your experience. Just throwing that out there for anyone checking out your comment. You may be comparing the original MT09 which was a bit less.. refined. Haha

I'm just 21 (yes i think that's young), and I've ridden R1,CBR1000RRR-SP, ZH2, Ducati Panigale V4, Daytona 675r, R6, Ninja ZX 10, ninja Zx6, Ninja 300, RE 350,Himalayan,650s, t100, and speed triple, i had owned a R1, but sold it for other reasons and investments, and got a cycle instead of the bike, and now i am looking forward to getting a Trident 660 , or the Triumph Speed triple, cuz even after riding all i have ridden, ( even been to track a few times) is that no matter what, 200hp is not needed , and all these bikes are great, these 200hp r1s , Panigales, e.t.c, are pretty useless from ergonomics, useless low end, in the street what i suggest is the street triple, or the speed triple . Cuz : Such a beautiful sound , the exhaust sound changes as the rev increases , from sophisticated in the low to the roaring in the high , Mechanically (a mechanical engineer here) , and as a bike enthusiast, 3 Cyls are the best when it comes to power delivery, low end torque + top end rush , and due to triumphs T-plane crankshaft (perfect secondary balance) this thing revs very high for a engine that size , and reaches redline quicker than any I4... I've plenty experience, owned an R1 (sold last year and got a cycle), r6, zx 10r, the busa, Zh2, RSV4, panigale, cbr 1000, and z900 , daytona 675, street triple 675RS, (owned all these for a while and traded these ) RE bikes,and what not , but i find three cyls the best among inline 4s and 2s (Vs are better ). (Except some radicals i4s ). After riding the R1 ( snappy af) , it teaches a lot, and now I'm basically not scared of any bike , i can ride any other bike fearlessly because of the teachings i got from the R1 , and after riding a long time in an R1 , always moving fast even in the streets , i eventually got bored, cuz of the power delivery, it's pretty bad , that's why even though i sold it , i was crying my way home back.... Cuz i had to help buy a house, but , now I'm looking to buying a Trident 660, or a GT 650. For more relaxed riding, cuz i always rode balls to the walls with the R1 , and now i wanna go safe.

sometimes you get more sometimes you get less....

Zalonka that’s just stupid. Sometimes you do. Other times u don’t.

Regular typical annual service intervals (oil essentially) and a 12,000 mile major service ($800~). Triumphs have a great track record for reliability and being user friendly. I've been on quite a few!

Most bikes are pretty reasonable to maintain, as long as you don't abuse them and keep the shiny side up...and don't puncture 3 tires in a year and a half like I did. It's things like that that start making the costs add up

Michael hayes “Triumphs have a great track record for reliability”. Ahahahaha, good one!

These things are not particularly reliable, especially in the electronics department...

@@michaelhayes5601 lmao man well said.

Zenth_24 | So, did you get one yet?

Now?

Try mixing half Valvoline synthetic motorcycle oil and half Valvoline regular motorcycle oil. A great looking motorcycle- the little fairing above the bug-eye headlights makes them look better and an added small windshield (I like the National brand) would look better. However, a MT-07 or more comfortable Tracer 900GT might be more reliable and cost effective.

How about the engine heat, does it warm you a lot inside the city?

From what I've read I would agree. If I get an opportunity to get some seat time on the R I'll have to let ya know.

Alex Schuster Almost just 250k more cuz its nothing

Pranjal Gupta I think u will find better review of the Duke 390 a long term review with vikas rachmalla an Indian reviewer

Will The Thrill Motodemic makes a single Led headlight for it. Expensive though.

José Antonio Martínez your tandart triumph for sure.. Ducatis a crap to maintain

David Evans I thing they don't provide that for the street triple but for the tiger form triumph has aftermarket parts or so I have seen online

thats a RAM mount..

Shutter On Wheels Google it.

It's adjustable and top of the line. If the suspension of the RS isn't satisfactory, you'd probably have to buy an adventure bike like the BMW 1200 RS, because that's the only kind of bike that can handle worse roads than the RS suspension and every +12000 dollar bike for that matter.

Juvierlin Moscoso variants have great air flow.

I live in Florida too, try the shark speed-r it's what I use.

I have Street Triple and very happy with my HJC

Juvierlin Moscoso agv k5

I live in Australia and we have similar weather to Miami I recommend HJC Alpha 11 👌🏾

Street bike = good commute bike with decent ergos, touring bike = distant and comfy bike, naked bike = general a detuned bike without fairings version from it's big brother sports bike model

It comes down to what you really like on riding. If it's torque with a really hard pull to max speed, go for the fz09. If it's better controllable technical riding then go for the RS

Triumph is supplying the new moto2 engines (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ekyc8BBtTl4.html for testing) so to 90% we will see a daytona with this engine

Oliver B not before 2020 in europe, maybe in the US. Atm theres no market for sportbikes within triumph

It is now :)

Wizard!
