Long term review - Triumph Street Triple R 765

- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- I've had my Street Triple for about 6 months now, so I thought it might be useful if I posted a long term owner's review. (Apologies for the quality of the footage during the walkaround piece - in future I'll do that with my phone or another camera.)
Anyway, I love the bike but there have been a couple of very minor niggles and - if I was buying new today - there's also some stiff competition. Watch the vlog to find out more, and please do hit the like button and subscribe!
Thanks for a great review. I've just bought a 2019 Street Triple R and you have reinforced my feelings. It's a very well rounded bike. I've just come from a run of owning MV Agusta's and the fueling is night and day; the Triumph is perfectly set up.
Thanks Paul. Enjoy the Striple!
i know it is pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream newly released movies online?
I have the same year, same color scheme. I just love this bike! Light, powerful, high end build quality and confidence inspiring. He’s all rounder I’ve ever owned. Thanks for the video.
Yeah, they're pretty much faultless. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Just bought the 2021 Striple R today. Getting some mods added, delivering it next week. Excited
Can't go wrong. Enjoy, and ride safe.
Lmao he said the bike looked like a mosquito...it’s actually so true. Luckily there’s are headlight mods that make it look so much better.
A face only a mother could love ;)
Who makes them I just bought this
Bike today with 6k miles clean one owner I haven’t even rode it took it in on a trade on one of my Harley’s plus cash
5 years on and still a worthwhile review. Thanks for it! Question if you would be so kind: Does the flyscreen impact much more than appearance? Like does it actually help with wind blast or repel flies? Sustained speeds >90MPH the windblast gets tiring so I'm considering one if it would help.
Thanks, and no - not a great deal. It stll feels like a naked bike (I should probably say "felt"as there have been a couple of bikes since this one).
I’ve gotten an indicated 141mph out of mine (on a track here in the NW, 112 top on the street), with throttle to spare. At 120 it’s still pulls like a truck! Best bike I’ve ever had and really enjoyed your review. This bike goes like stink above 8k!! Such a spirited, look where you want to go surgical machine. So well put together and thought out! I just love this bike!!
Superb job. What was the rev counter saying?
Guy On a Bike 10.5 thereabouts. So much wind I backed right off. Full tuck. It’s got the beans.
Guy On a Bike I suspect if it had a taller 6th (which I would like anyway), it would keep going. As you know it’s best between 40-110. The frame geometry and weight is spectacular. It’s far more capable than I’ll ever be, that’s for sure. Tons of horsepower, but so refined and nimble. I have the same paint scheme. Remus Hypercone slip on and couple other goodies (Rizoma bar end mirrors, techspec tank grips). Such a versatile, stealth little bike. I just love it. Cheers!!!
Guy On a Bike I also have the Powerbronze windscreen fitted on my bike. It’s a game changer. If you make any other mod I highly recommend. You can tuck and get tons of clean air right above your helmet. Makes it a more versatile machine. It looks proper (comes in 20 colors and is really think and high quality) and gives you another comfortable 25+ mph on the top end of wind protection. It really is stealth and works. It is a sports bike really and the windscreen really lets you open it up
In the interest of full disclosure, I will say that I think the TFT, while brilliant runs about 8-10mph faster once you get past 110. I was probably doing 125-130mph not 141. It’s fast enough for me and I had throttle to spare. If i decide to keep it (which is very likely) I might put a y’all 6th not for more speed, but keep it down on revs at highway speeds. 1-5 are all the sporty I need!
I am looking at a 2017 version and found it very comfortable to ride and great engine, nice and low too as I'm only 5 9, just currently doing research to make sure i get no nasty surprises.
This bike won't give you any nasty surprises. it's a perfect riding machine.
Great job! I will be upgrading from my 2013 R next year! Love it! Thanks from Montreal!
Cher’s Mike 👍🏼
Mike have you had any issues with your 2013 model? I am planning on buying a 14 or 15 model. I'd like to know about issues with the bikes.
Renato gonz I have no issues at all, I’m at 22800 km, will be doing a 500$ aprox maintenance in the coming month. I love my bike, it’s exactly what i wanted for my first bike. I’m in my second year! Love it to bites!
@@mikemaners4411 thank you I appreciate it, I will be buying mine in a couple of months
Great review, very interesting. I've currently got a '15 675 Triple and I'm going to look at a '19 765 Triple R tomorrow.
Can't go wrong - enjoy the new bike!
@@GuyOnaBikeMotovlog thanks. Just put a deposit down 👍🏻🏍️
@@iandeasy9631 Nice!
How is it? I'm looking into a '19 765 Triple R myself with around 28k km
@@runeluqman unfortunately that bike fell through and I never found another one I liked. I ended up with a 2017 Kawasaki Z1000SX. Good bike, did about 6k miles on it but could never get comfortable. Now got a '24 BMW F900R and it's brilliant! Agile as the 675 but not as hyper, engine not as good as the triple, which is the best engine around in my opinion, but it's really comfortable, good looking, lots of tech and great fun. Take a look at one of these, you'll be surprised.
Great video! I have a Street Cup that I love (the engine sound is too nice). But just test rode a 2017 street triple R, and think I'm in lust (adds some extra fun factor into the ride!) Got to decide which one? Thanks for your excellent viewpoint.
I've also the 2018 street triple R but the only changes I've made are a quickshifter, tail tidy and levers, just a small correction on the bikes specs, you gave the top speed as 120mph but it's actually 150 were the restrictor kicks in.
Thanks - I reckon you're right about the top speed... it seems you could get about 140mph out of the 675cc engine.
Nice review.
I like the R nineT as well but IMO the price is too high for what it is. I'm going to try out the Street Triple R, KTM 790 Duke and the Ducati 821 Monster.
Yes, it’s expensive, although the quality and finish is typical BMW. Anyway, all great bikes so enjoy your testing.
I would be interested on your conclusion to your testing and what you decided on?
@@jellybean8495 None of the above. The dealers by me would not allow a test ride on the KTM or Triumph because of Covid. The ergos of the R NineT were not to my liking. So I went in a completely different direction and kept my R1200 GS for the road and bought a Husqvarna 701 Enduro for off road because it is so much lighter.
Hello, I just picked up my own 18' Street Triple R a few days ago and it came with a quick shifter, heated grips, windscreen, and arrow exhaust =). My question is, when I press the button under the little white heated grips indicator, nothing seems to happen. I was wondering what the proper way to turn them on is?
Hi Tito - yes, that's the proper and only way to turn them on... nothing else is needed. You should then see the following on the display as you press the button to cycle through the settings: Off, Low, High.
If you don't see that, or they don't get warm, then they're not working as they should and need some attention.
Nice review from india
Thank you!
good review, although i have the 675 Triple i love it.
Yes, it was a superb bike even before the facelift.
What model do you have? Have you had any issues with it?
How is the maintenance cost and reliability on your Triple R?
The bike behaved perfectly every moment I had it, and service costs were no more than you'd expect on a modern, high quality machine. Now worries there at all.
@@GuyOnaBikeMotovlog i pay for each service about 250 euros, should be pretty much equivalent of gbp you pay in UK
@@fleshpie2129 Sounds about right.
Hi，can I know the model of your smart phone holder？
Sure - it's Quadlock. Great product (with car mounts too that are equally impressive).
Guy On a Bike thanks mate. the stuff they sell in AU is blue，but yours is red 😀
Guy On a Bike great review，thanks for sharing
@@kolinxu Thanks my friend!
I would say you are making a mistake switching from this to any of the others you were interested in. If you do buy another there are honestly only three I would recommend.
1.) 2020 Street Triple RS
2.) 2020 Speed Triple
3.) 2019 MV Agusta Brutale 800
Thank me later.
Haha... thank you, but I've had my R9T for some 9 months now and I absolutely LOVE it :)
Guy On a Bike overpriced, underpowered and overweight. Lol but of course you would say you love it, you spent your hard earned money on it. On the plus side, it doesn’t look bad and it’s very customizable
@@vhockada Oh my god - heresy!!! Seriously, though, it's VERY torquey, has bags of character and it does look pretty :)
Are those the RS bar end mirrors, and not the chunkier ones available through the triumph accessories catalog? Also, being the lrh model, have you ever scraped the belly pan, like on speed bumps or deep potholes? Do you enjoy the triple better than the street twin?
No, they're the OEM bar ends. I've never been aware whist riding that it's the LRH - the difference in seat height is less than 2 inches but aside from lowered suspension the bike is identical to the standard to my knowledge. I'd have thought that any difference in the engine's ground clearance would be minimal.
Are you riding the lowered height version or the normal height? I'm 5'8" and curious if I could flat foot this bike with the normal height
That's the LRH, with no problem flat-footing at all - on the standard height bike i was on tippy-toes (my inseam is 30"). I think the difference is 45mm (780/825)
Nice review, I'm stuck between this bike or the cheaper Honda CB650R. I'm sure the Street is better, but is it worth the extra to me? Nice problem to have anyways.
Both good bikes, but you know the answer ;)
I've test ridden one and it made a bit of a rattle up front which was noticeable at idle and low revs, dealer tells me they're a noisy bike and that noise is normal, no one seems to comment about that, maybe it's because I'm used to Japanese bikes but it made me doubt the refinement of the engine.
Not something I noticed or have heard anyone else suggest - in fact I found it a little quiet if anything, hence the Yoshi. As for the engine. the fact that it's been adopted for this season's Moto2 GP series says it all, I'd say.
I've noticed this on my 2015 Street triple, dealer said its just the normal sound of the bike. But it sounds like a ball-bearing rattling around, once you hear it its hard to un-hear it. It also seems to happen mainly when the bike is cold but i dunno, maybe i just stop noticing it after awhile.
Anyway, im still so happy with the bike that i might actually upgrade to the 2019/20 bike when i can or go for a speed.
@@EskiLdn sounds like an oiling thing. Hearing the head tick before it picks up the cold oil from the pan. Does it happen on hot days?
Guy On a Bike I have the 18 RS in gray and I also hear the noise up front. It’s almost the sound of some piece of plastic catching the wheel. Imagine you getting your first bicycle when you’re a kid and you intentionally put plastic or a can in your wheels to make it sound like a motorcycle. That’s the sound I hear.
👍👍👍👍👍👍 Excellent video. 😊
Much appreciated, thank you :)
I’ve been riding a SR 150 (a 150cc scooter by Aprilia) for about 18 months now, would it be okay if I jumped to something like this as an upgrade?
Quite an insane graduation.... perhaps go to your dealers and request a couple of test rides on a series of bikes, You can get a Street triple S A2 variation that gives you the bike but limits its BHP to 47.
No reason why not but a test ride is the best way forward.
Bike Under a Guy...I feel like a lot of naked bikes have that insect appeal like the z900. I like the styling a lot of both but the headlights on the triple are a bit too bug like.
Yes, they’re definitely marmite. In reality, too, I’m by heart a kind of modern classic guy.... errr, on a bike 😀
Hit the Gym, buy best protective clothes (eg laminated coat) and who needs a fairing...
Hah! Well said 😀
Got the same bike they're amazing. Where did you get the belly pan?
I bought it and had it fitted at Herts Triumph. It's worth keeping your eyes peeled at www.worldoftriumph.com/triumph-accessories.html for offers, though.
Is your bike outside crewe hall?
Well, given that sold it a while ago now, I guess it could be :)
Guy On a Bike Smashing honest review of the Triumph Street Triple R. Thank you for taking the time to upload. (All Saints Pastoral Centre)
Great review. It is still hard to watch you people ride on the wrong side of the road.
Wrong side? Haha... thanks very much :)
