Thanks Doodle for the challenge. I really enjoyed making this video. I also enjoyed watching your video as well. Looking forward to more videos from you!!
I came across your channel just two days back while searching for Alpinestars Tech Aero reviews. Liked that video so much that I subscribed. Watching this today has just reaffirmed that you're a great reviewer. Your honest, practical and real-world perspective of this bike (and that backpack) is much more illuminating than dozens of road tests from PR talk-filled auto publications. Keep up the great work and all the best
Wow, thank you so much! This comment just made me want to review more products that I use on a daily basis. :D I'm so happy the videos I make can help some one with their buying decision, especially on some expensive purchases. I'm glad you liked that Alpinestars Tech Aero backpack review. It was my first motorcycle backpack and I still like it a lot. They have changed that backpack and I really like the original so I still have the backpack to this day! Thanks so much for watching and comment with such kind words!
Novice but not so new rider here. I brought this bike to numerous places such as Canyons and I still feel that lowering it would provide so much convenience thus increasing the fun factor to my rides. I’m 5”7 with a 29-30 inseam and I found myself choosing between 25mm and 35mm from the Lust Racing lowering links. I decided to use this brand as opposed to Soupys. My question is, should I go for the 25mm or the 35mm? Plus I know that the kickstand did not have to be changed and my other question is, how much lean angle is lost from it using 35mm? Thanks in advance :)
Any thoughts of trading up to the 765? I had an 08 and just got a 2019 R. Love all the technology. Yes, and I got the low because I’m height challenged.
Have you had any mechanical issues? I am looking at buying this model it would be used for me. Have looked at 10k miles plus. Do you have any suggestions for buying used? Or make a video about the service on it. Thank you and really helped me alot :D
Hi there! I actually have had ZERO mechanical issues with this bike. Usually, with my purchases, there is 1-2 minor things with the item. But not this bike. It has been the same bike since the day I bought it, except for the normal wear and tear from using it. If you're looking to buy this bike used, the only thing that would be wrong with it would be from the misuse of the its owner. And you'll find that it is rare that an owner would mistreat this bike. Of course, look for normal wear and tear. Also, look to see if it's been dropped. Other than that, it's a very mechanically sound motorcycle! Thanks for stopping by!
Hey nice video there! Can you share on the engine heat?does it burn your thigh or gets really hot? I've owned Daytona 675 (with tail exhaust) before and the heat was just too unbearable. I like the bike a lot so am thinking to get a newer version with the exhaust down below. And wish to know if it's still as hot as it was pls.
Hey dear, thank you for that Video . I have the exact same machine included a Quickshifter and some Crash protectors :-) and I luuuuve it. Actually I think its smooth as a KittyCat and not the least agressiv. But its my first Bike what do I know :-) Did you ever experience the machine not starting during a ride (after brake or so ?) Thats my only peoblem Trying to find out. Already changed Battery Free Run Magnetic "switch and some other stuff...but still.... Love to you Sista
Thx! I was searching for this comment! 5'4" and Around 28" inseam i think and i have trouble to find naked bike that im not tip toes when i sit on it. 🤷♂️ 😂
Hi. I've actually had no issues with the bike so far. I was expecting some electrical issues since that's what some previous owners were saying. But in my experience with this bike, I had none.
My front suspension was adjust a bit, but by the dealership. I unfortunately, don't know what the setting was. But it might be 0.5 to offser the back end being lowered.
Your bike looks sweet, I guess it's not too great as a tourer but there are other bikes for that, and the Street Triple seems to be a good compromise between performance and touring. :>)
awesome review mate !! Please comment on new Street Triple RS and Kawasaki Z900...as am am very confused between the two. :D fyi i am an automobile engineer so you can comment in detail if you want...Thanks in advance...CHEERS Keep Vloggin :D :)) :)
You know, I haven't gotten my hands on either the Triple RS or the Kawasaki Z900 yet. Once I get to test ride either one, I will make a video about it. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your detailed review. Really helpful for those in the market for these bikes. I’m assuming it has gone welll in this department but how has it been reliability wise ? Unfortunately triumph there’s an assumption by the public of pooor reliability
@@VotoCycling thank you haha! I purchased a left over 2018 street triple on 1/28 and I am in love. I had seen a lot of reviews and forums that as long you take care of them there shouldn’t be any issues. Ride safe and thanks for sharing 🤙
thanks for taking the #videochallenge!! You've done some really sweet mods and got great tips for packing on it too!!
Thanks Doodle for the challenge. I really enjoyed making this video. I also enjoyed watching your video as well. Looking forward to more videos from you!!
Thanks a lot! It was a very different review of the bike, very interesting and with plenty of useful details nobody is talking about :)
This really is a particular bike! I'm going to get myself one today.
Thanks for the video. I have the same bike and love it. Your vids are very helpful, they helped me put the Kreiger bag on mine.
You're welcome. I'm glad the Kriega install video helped. Great set up!

Nice ride. Looks like the Tail tidy is an R&G, as it says so on the tidy itself. Just above your plate. haha
Yes, it does! Lol, thanks! That's so embarrassing.
Great review!! 👍👍👍
Enjoyed the review. Will you do one for the Kawasaki Vulcan S?
Thank you so much! Since it seems there is a number of requests for a review of the Vulcan S, I will be doing one shortly. Thanks for the comment!
VotoCycling looking forward to your new Vulcan video.
Please do a long term review of the Vulcan S also. Very informative.
Unfortunately, I no longer own that bike. I will try to borrow one and do a review on it, but I can't make any promises.

Thanks in advance :)
With your inseam, I would go with 35mm. You'll enjoy it lowered by that length.
Any thoughts of trading up to the 765? I had an 08 and just got a 2019 R. Love all the technology. Yes, and I got the low because I’m height challenged.
Yes, I really wanted to trade for the new 765. But I really want a second bike, so I'm saving up for that instead.
VotoCycling what will your second bike be? Great video! I love that you have a toy hauler and nice garage.
Have you had any mechanical issues? I am looking at buying this model it would be used for me. Have looked at 10k miles plus. Do you have any suggestions for buying used? Or make a video about the service on it. Thank you and really helped me alot :D

Hi there! The exhaust is actually not bad on this bike at all. This bike is amazing, you will not be disappointed.

You know, I never had experience with it mot starting. That's really odd. I'm sorry I couldn't help you on this one. I hope you figured it out by now!
thank you for a very informative video :)
No problem. Thanks for stopping by!
How tall r u ?
Any issues during ur ownership?
I'm 5' 1" and I've had zero issues with the bike.
Thx! I was searching for this comment!
5'4" and Around 28" inseam i think and i have trouble to find naked bike that im not tip toes when i sit on it. 🤷♂️ 😂
Thanks for this review. Did u lower the front too?
Hi there. I did not lower the front. Only adjusted the suspension a little bit. But not by much at all.
VotoCycling THANK YOU
I expect from a long term review (actually this is mid term) to hear about any problems that occured.
Hi. I've actually had no issues with the bike so far. I was expecting some electrical issues since that's what some previous owners were saying. But in my experience with this bike, I had none.
You switched out the radiator cowl right? The white bikes don’t come with black ones.
I actually didn't switch out the radiator cowl. It actually came black as the way it is in the video. Thanks for watching!
What’s your suspension settings? I’m 5’10 and can barely touch my toes onto ground lol
My front suspension was adjust a bit, but by the dealership. I unfortunately, don't know what the setting was. But it might be 0.5 to offser the back end being lowered.
after lustracing lowering kit, how low is ground clearance?
You know, I'm not sure. I will take a measurement and get back to you as soon as possible. So sorry for the delay!
Your bike looks sweet, I guess it's not too great as a tourer but there are other bikes for that, and the Street Triple seems to be a good compromise between performance and touring. :>)
Absolutely agree! It is definitely a great bike for in between performance and touring. Just a great overall bike. Thanks for watching!
does it have a clunking sound on Neutral while on stop lights...?
It does not.
big thaaaank you. very profound info.
ride safe \m/
Marius
You're welcome!
Respected Madam, You are the fastidious connoisseur in mechanism of Your motorbike
Thank you!
What about repair issues?. Electrical or mechanical?
I didn't have any. Otherwise, I definitely would have mentioned in this video.
awesome review mate !! Please comment on new Street Triple RS and Kawasaki Z900...as am am very confused between the two. :D fyi i am an automobile engineer so you can comment in detail if you want...Thanks in advance...CHEERS Keep Vloggin :D :)) :)

the z900 is way heavier
Thank you for your detailed review.
Really helpful for those in the market for these bikes.
I’m assuming it has gone welll in this department but how has it been reliability wise ?
Unfortunately triumph there’s an assumption by the public of pooor reliability
As for reliability, I've actually had zero issues. So nothing to comment about any unreliability at this point.
@@VotoCycling thank you haha! I purchased a left over 2018 street triple on 1/28 and I am in love. I had seen a lot of reviews and forums that as long you take care of them there shouldn’t be any issues. Ride safe and thanks for sharing 🤙
👍👍👍👍👍👍 😊
Good
I watched the entire video and I can't figure out if this is a man or woman?
I am a woman. Thanks for stopping by.
