Thanks! yeah I had a 2020 about 2 years ago, sold it for the Daytona 675R and then sold that and took a break from riding for a while, now finally back on a Triumph :)

Ya a pity! Thanks for watching 😎👍

Yeah he got away fairly lucky, unfortunate his engine casing hit the only sharp rock in the entire run off area 🙃😅 Shouldnt take too much to fix it up! Cheers

Thanks man! Ya shame it's a pity. I saw the footage from the guy behind him and seems like he basically just came in a bit too hot and went into the gravel, then slipped out. He almost had it saved 😅 Cheers thanks for watching! 😎🏁

Yo! This is in Cape Town, South Africa 😎🏁

@@DarkRiderMotovlogs Nothing like watching rides on my home turf!🤘🏼

Cape Town, South Africa 😎

Like a kid jumping off his BMX 🤣

I hit a bump and the mount fell off the front 😂

Oh lol unlucky

Luckily GoPro is very strong! Still works great!

Hey man! I dont unfortanetly, i put the stock ones back on the bike when I sold it :( Sorry man! I'd suggest checking eBay, they have the best selection of Triumph parts for not too much money. Cheers!

@@DarkRiderMotovlogs awesome I'll give eBay a shot, thanks for the response and ride safe!

Hi! What I did before having them replaced was to take the mirror off the bike and lay it face down. Put a few drops of blue loctite on the ball joint and let it dry. Make sure the mirror is roughly where you want it first. Once it dries is a little bit stiffer and doesn't move around on the highway. Hope that helps! Cheers. 😎👍

Thanks! Ok I'll give that a try. Kind of strange that takes Slsooo long to change. Thanks for the tips! I'll give it a go. Cheers! 😎

Awesome congrats! Youll really love the 765! 😎🏁

This is the 2018 model, which, in my opnion, has amuch more legible dash, compared to the later 2020+ models. I found the dash on my 2020 to be pretty annoying most of the time to be honest. The 2018 is much easier to see the information you need.

Kind of depends what kind of riding you do. The 675SE is very much a pure Daytona and track weapon, razor handling and sweet, powerful motor with sharp brakes and good suspension. the 660 "Daytona" is more of a Trident with some different fairings on it. Not nearly as sport or as fast as the real Daytona. The 660, as far as I know, has around 85hp and the Daytona is around 128hp. You might be able to find a later model Daytona R with the Ohlins, 2013-2016 or so for not much more than the SE. But if you are able to spend $11k then maybe look at a Street Triple R or RS as well.

@@DarkRiderMotovlogs Thanks for the detailed answer, I'm going to testride the Triples then too.

Thanks very much! 😎🏁

Haha ya I've actually seen a few R9Ts on track and they rip! Really fun. Bike and pretty good on the track, but the suspension might be a bit of a let down. 😅 Thanks for watching!

@@DarkRiderMotovlogs would be my first choice of upgrade indeed. The rear shock especially is junk. I’ll keep to the mountain passes for the time being 😉

I feel like the Daytona was much better on track, obviously, but it was less demanding and faaar less fatiguing than the street triple. Being exposed to all the wind blast really takes it out if you. The Daytona was easier to go fast on right away whereas I'll need to work my way to a good time on the street triple over a few track days.

@@DarkRiderMotovlogs agreed effortless to go fast but ton the other hand he Daytona isn't a good road bike in my option . good track cam . in the UK we not allowed to have a camera on your body or helmet only attached to the bike .

Yeah I think the KTM being more of a street bike and just overall more plush on its initial stroke really soaked up a lot of the bumps you never really noticed. The Street with the suspension on track was very stiff and direct and required a bit of a rethink when it came to riding it fast. I'd love to try out the 1200rs on track one day and see how it compares. Cheers Cuban, thanks for the comments 😎💪

@@DarkRiderMotovlogs Nice, thanks for sharing. Maybe you could try a softer damper setting and see how it goes? Below the "track" config there´s "sport", which seems to be a bit softer, especially at the rear.

@@cduartebr Hi! Ya I definitely could try the sport settings, I use Sport on the road most of the time and it feels quite good, though still a bit harsh for the commute. I've set it to comfort now for commuting and it feels great. Will spend the next track day dialling in the settings and see how it feels. Cheers!

Hi! The link pipe was made locally at a motorcycle exhaust fabrication shop.

@@DarkRiderMotovlogs Ty for answering

@@shauns5278 No problem :)

I heard the Chinese one off eBay is complete garbage isn’t a good fit

@EpiceverythingProductions EverythingEmpire who's a sponsored stunt rider for Triumph actually has a review on it and was shocked by the quality. He had to manhandle it a little but it fit without any modding needed. It's likely going to be my next purchase. Though he specifically mentioned Xlai-motors as who he ordered from. I assume they're all nearly identical but guess you can't really be sure.

The 790 feels a bit sharper than the street triple intially but the street triple is much more stable in the corners than the 790. Very different engines though, id suggest test riding both and seeing which one suits your style better. Hope that helps! :)

@@DarkRiderMotovlogs yay thanks a lot mate

I felt like David on the R6 😆

Also. What’s your camera setup?

They are quite different bikes to be honest. The Speed Triple RS is a better comparison. The speed RS just feels like a 765 with way more power. Amazing handling and power, light and flickable as well. Perfect upgrade from the 765RS. The speed RS is more of a sport tourer than a full on supersport like a s1000rr for example. Amazing bike though and loads of fun!

​@@floyd_mphGoPro Hero 7 black with a GoPro mic adaptor and mic inside the helmet.

We do. I have one. And it’s awesome. Not as cheeky as the street triple 765. But it’s a beast and it pulls hard from low to upper midrange. However Triumph discontinued it.

We do have it but it's limited or special order now. It didn't sell very well.

Does this bike super uncomfortable for 188 cm 95 kg man as me?

@@wolkanthon You are 5cm taller than me but the same weight. I dont think youll be uncomfortable, the seating position takes some getting used to but its a lot more comfortable than a normal superbike like an RSV4, S1000RR etc. Slightly more relaxed ergonomics. I'd suggest going for a test ride if you can, but you should be fine comfort wise. Cheers!

@@DarkRiderMotovlogs thats good news because on video u said that u become tired and i thought that the bike was so uncomfortable, if its much comfortable than s1000rr thats super

Cape Town, South Africa 😀🇿🇦

Wow that's pretty insane for a brand new bike! My bike was second hand so not sure how the previous owner was riding with the settings so wrong. Unless they didn't know any better?😅

Here's a scary thought - your bike may have been originally delivered back in 2018 with those incorrect settings from the factory. Nobody caught that in the Triumph outgoing factory inspection, at the dealership pre-delivery inspection, or when the new owner had the bike. Everyone made the dangerous assumption that the settings were per the owner's handbook specs as though they expected correct settings from the Showa factory. Only when you took ownership did someone follow through and actually check the settings! I doubt that anyone would intentionally or accidentally put the settings as they were on your bike, even if they were not very experienced at working on their own bikes.

I just wanted to mention that I have exchanged email messages with Triumph's Warranty Team in Hinckley. I pointed them to a CZcams video on the Wheelie Good TV channel which is about another Street Triple 765 RS owner's experiences correcting suspension settings on his new bike. You might want to check that one out and take a look at comments posted by viewers. There are several comments indicating others have been delivered bikes with incorrect settings. I also pointed Triumph to this video of yours. Triumph has responded back indicating the concern is being channeled within their organization for appropriate consideration. My hopes are that it will lead to improved processes at the factory so that no bike leaves without having the settings confirmed to correct. And, I also hope that dealers will be flagged to keep a closer watch on outgoing bikes. In your case, it looks as though the settings were not checked in the original owner's delivery from the Triumph dealer. It also appears that you bought the bike second hand from the Triumph dealer in Cape Town based on what I saw in your previous video, so that's two misses right there.

@@rtg1018 Wow thanks for that update! very interesting! Seems like a lot of assumtipns are made but never checked. Thanks again.

I sold that a few years ago 😅

@@DarkRiderMotovlogsAhh, do you regret it? Your videos on that one made me buy a Yoshi can on my Triple :P

@@jaron4512 Haha Nah not really. I had a Daytona 675R after that. This 2018 feels pretty much the same as the 2020. Just need an exhaust now 😅

Awesome bike man! Thanks for watching 😎👍

🫠

You press the "Home" button then go to Display, then choose "Theme 01" then from there you can change the Style setting, there are 3 styles per Theme :) Hope that helps!

@@DarkRiderMotovlogs ohhh maaann! haha i'll have to visit the dealer again! its sadly about 150 miles away ! i was hellbent on the kawasaki z900 because the dealer is closer and its a good bike for long term usage (i plan to keep a bike for 10-15 years).

@@Razzer0693 Before you travel 150 miles to visit the dealer, I just wanted to comment to be sure you are not expecting to find that analog style tach selection on the newer model TFT displays from 2020 and later. Sadly, that analog style tach is to my knowledge only a choice on the earlier Street Triple RS models such as the 2018 & 2019s. My 2024 only has the butterfly style choices :(

@@rtg1018 oh damn that's why!!! Thanks for your comment, I was about to ring the service rep at the dealer to find out. It was extremely difficult to know the redline of the bike with their newer instrument cluster. The bike is absolutely amazing though. Although reliability is a question

Haha ya there was a few baboons there that I was slowing for, they often sit in the middle of the lane on a blind corner 😅

​@@DarkRiderMotovlogs Bru tell me about it. Almost rode over the president's son😂

Thanks!

Bru what are you smoking😂

Yeah glad she is ok! Got off very lucky considering what the rest of the pass is like! I just set it per the user manual for now, so set both legs to the "sports" settings and then once I am more comfortable with the bike I'll start making further tweaks like preload, compression and rebound etc. Brake fluid I just use Castrol DOT4, I only ride track once a month so I dont really need racing fluid and the higher boiling point as well as the extra cost that comes with it. Flushing the brakes takes around 5 mins so I just flush it with fresh fluid every few months or after a few track days to keep it sharp. I have however used Motul RBF660 before and at my speed I didnt really notice too much of a difference over regular DOT4. Pads I use the SBS HH Sintered. They give great performance and life but do require a bit of heat to get biting really hard.

😂😂😂

Thanks! I use a lapel mic with a dead cat wind cover. Inside the helmet behind the cheek pad. GoPro mic adaptor and a Hero 7. The helmet seems to make a big difference to wind noise. My ls2 was quite noisy compared to my current helmet which is a Scorpion Exo R1 Air Carbon.

@@DarkRiderMotovlogs thanks for the info. I’m om the market for a new lid and the Exo R1 is in there so appreciate that feedback as well

Great video brother......I just got a 2015 1050r. Been trying to set up the suspension for sport . Any leads on where I can get the information. 😅

Great to see you found another ST, can you notice any major differences between your previous one and current one, or is that going to be a future video?

@@thebronextdoor3583 Hey man! Thanks very much! Congrats! You can get it here, bearing in mind if you have an R model its probably a 2016? triumphtechnicalinformation.com/handbooks/search/613bf25320031d0a9bd37651 Check page 111. Hope that helps!
