Ignore the sexist comments! I think it's really awesome having a lady review the bike, and there should be more reviews from women. Nice one MCN. On another note I love my Street Triple R - it's a blinding bike.
+exnihilo415 Oh definitely, but Daryls old rat bike is more my style though and I bet he gets it back and the fkrs that nicked it are half eaten Zs lol.
"... and I thoroughly enjoyed it." ;) But honestly, really cool to hear a woman reviewing a bike. It is also really cool to hear the different changes made to the bike and why, along with how the rider adapted to something they've never ridden before and expressing their views on it. Cool review - would watch more of the same.
well. as a MAN its nice to hear a woman review it. All these tossers slagging her off make me laugh. The fastest i have taken my street triple to is 100 mph. shes got more bottle than me? You go girl!
Good call on putting a bit softer tires on it, it is very hard and darty with factory tires and I find the suspension quite stiff too, pretty aggresive for in town riding! nice job topping it out, that bike is properly fast!!
Nice long term review, I love my street R, though not the RX as you had. The bike is solid and holds it own with the likes of 600cc super sports. I sold my GSX-R 600 to put towards buying my 2014 STR, will never go back I think to a super sport, I had all the torque & power I want, plus it's such a nice ride :) I've always been impressed with the build quality of Triumph and I wish I made the switch early.
Nice review, I took my RX across Canada and back this past summer. Never had a problem and it was a joy to ride. I wanted something that had a more comfortable position then a super sport, but still had the sportiness to really enjoy the fantastic roads available across Canada. Met a guy along the way doing the same thing on an R6 and he had to cut his days a good bit shorter. One of my days ended up being 16 hours of nonstop riding outside of getting gas and fast meals. (The Canadian prairies are the only terrible and boring part of Canada) I don't see myself selling this bike anytime soon.
Brilliant - great to see you enjoying the bike - can't wait to get mine; enjoying my first bike, which is a CB500F, but with everyone raving about the street triple...well I'm sure it's gonna be a nice step up!
Very nice. I have the Rx. A little upset that they're doing an Rx black this year. Great bike, love the accessories it comes with but I sometimes wish I had the standard seat not the Daytona one.
Nice review, but I'm biased as I've always loved the Street Triple. It was a said day when I discovered I'm a bit too tall to be comfortable on one. That's a great color scheme for it as well.
Nice, beautiful and brave woman, lovely on her bike, we need more women riding, motorbikes are for everyone, this is wonderful, i like it; and of course the street triple is my dream that one day will become true
thank you! Am looking at an RX now and wondering if the leg room comfort is the same as the RS on the 2015 model. Thank you! I can tell you have fallen in love with it and hard to give it back. jp
There is nothing wrong with a normal persons viewpoint. There's loads of racer reviews out there. If you get offended by this type of review watch on of those. I find the raging quite funny, like it's actually important, LMAO.
Great to see a long term review of this bike! However for future reviews I would suggest not to test a bike that is completely different from what you normally ride. If you have no other bike of similar type to compare to then the review is almost useless. Also you forgot to say what kind of bikes you normally ride, you just mentioned that they were slower and with softer suspension? I just bought a Street Triple R myself and personally I think it is a less aggressive and more comfortable bike when compared to to what I am used to. I do agree that the sound is amazing, probably one of the best sounding bikes available.
15 k miles on my ST RX and no problems except the rear seat coming off like she mentioned. I love that bike. My brothers Daytona 675R is the better bike, though.
+Alex Johnson At least im not the only one haha, luckily i had someone following me who noticed it was coming up so had to just put it in my bag for the rest of the ride. you really have to put some pressure on it when putting it on properly.
That's lucky. I managed to catch it the first time it came off which was on the highway (still don't know how I did that) but now it is gone for sure. They are still awesome bikes with amazing build quality, but I wish they would fix that rear seat problem.
There's a better story about this bike, and thats price differential within the EU. For example in France the Street Triple is £5,775 but here in the UK is £7,500. That's £1,725 more expensive here in the UK. Triumph, why the harsh commercial decision? And to British buyers, does this offend you?

my question why get a sports bike and use the terms like, "less forgiving" "less sports like". Why didn't you get a "non sports" bike? I don't get it, like sports bikes are suppose to be sports bikes. Get a cruiser if you are not into sports or get a scooter. Jesus Christ dude. Its like getting an american muscle and trying to save fuel and say "less forgiving on my budget" "less gas wasted per mile".
+DopestDope why do you think fuel efficiency and performance at opposite to each other? The fastest cars in the world have to care about mpg because it affects range and how long the car can go before needed to stop to be refueled.
darkchild4neverever Everyone knows american muscle loves gas, so it was suitable for my example. And if you want a fuel saver try a toyota? even the bugatti doesnt do much fuel at top speed. Anyways a supersports car driver would know this, and adapt accordingly, beside a punzy wouldnt have money to buy such, and wouldnt mess around the map to reduce fuel waste and use a term "fuel economy". If some one want to talk about fuel economy, maybe they should buy a hybrid? I am just saying, you buy a bikini and start complaining about your skin's showing, and start to modify it so that it wouldnt and use a term like "less forgiving" then you are doing it wrong. Catch my flow?
DopestDope You people and your extremes are still pointless. If you want reliability, get a civic. Does that mean a mustange owner shouldn't still want their car to NOT break down on the highway? Want comfort, get an SUV. Does that mean the AC in a sports car doesn't need to work. Sports cars are still cars, they have other functions besides speed. A sports car will NOT spend 100% of its life at 100mph lol. Nothing wrong with wanted other qualities too. Want fuel efficiency? Walk. Then I guess most cars shouldn't even exist? lol
darkchild4neverever dude you didnt get what i said right? Its ok. I see you have much hate inside you? Maybe you are related to this video lady? Anyways my point was different vehicles were made for different purposes, so the buyer or the user should have a clear mind what the hell he/she is getting. You cant get a perfect package. So what people does is, buy whats suites them the most. Usually sports vehicle buyers doesnt complain about comfort and economy, because those are perfomance oriented vehicles, doesnt take an albert einstein to figure the science behind that. But hey there are people like you that gets bankrupt buying a supersports and when it doesnt save fuel, gets pissed off, because you are dead broke. I say take it up with the companies. I am just a consumer not a manufacturer. I dont complain about what i bought, because i knew what i was going to get. I came to watch a video about a Triumph just because i was planning to get one, research purpose. And saw that this lady haven't done her research properly, to even do a proper review. So thus, i pointed out her error. If thats your girlfriend or your mother in the video, i am sorry. Have a good day sir.
+DopestDope I get what you are saying. I assume she works for MCN, and it was a loaner bike. Maybe she had a choice, or maybe the editors wanted her to try something different than what she is used to. Either way it was good to hear a viewpoint from someone that doesn't normally ride these types of bikes, and in the end still love it.
Firstly how is it a fair review if she's changed things like tyres and the exhaust can, that's not a long term experience of the factory set bike. Secondly she's complaining it was too 'sport bike' like for her. Whether she works for mcn or not, anyone who doesn't like a sport bike aren't going to get a sport bike are they?? So why give someone who doesn't like sport bikes to review a sport bike and then she made changes to it anyway 😑 Unfortunately I did not THOROUGHLY ENJOY this review. Jeez I bet people get so fed up of hearing that from her everyday.

she did 142mph that's awesome.she is one fast women.
at least the walkers won't be able to keep up Carol
+Gerard Dunphy I just couldn't help myself lol
+Jason ward Daryl is going to have a heck of a time keeping up with his custom rattletrap, too!
+exnihilo415 Oh definitely, but Daryls old rat bike is more my style though and I bet he gets it back and the fkrs that nicked it are half eaten Zs lol.
More of that goodness please....! It was utterly fantastic seeing ladies's review. Well done!
"... and I thoroughly enjoyed it." ;)

Great review. Can't go wrong with a Triumph. Love em and rode one since I was 16.
Nicely done! You look great with that Triumph. 👍🏽😊
Nice review, as a woman myself on the street triple, its nice to see another woman review it.
well. as a MAN its nice to hear a woman review it. All these tossers slagging her off make me laugh.
The fastest i have taken my street triple to is 100 mph. shes got more bottle than me? You go girl!

+Triumph Gunner Nice! I switched from a 2007 CBR600RR to a 2013 STR. No regrets! It's a great "jack of all trades."
Thank you for the in depth review. I’ll keep saving for what is my dream bike now :)
Good review. Good to know the seat is comfy enough for a long little tour. That's been my main concern with getting this model over the R
Nice review, I took my RX across Canada and back this past summer. Never had a problem and it was a joy to ride.

Hey - what rucksack/panniers did you use/equip your rx with for your tour across Canada? Rx owner here and I'm keen to tour on mine soon! Thanks
Brilliant - great to see you enjoying the bike - can't wait to get mine; enjoying my first bike, which is a CB500F, but with everyone raving about the street triple...well I'm sure it's gonna be a nice step up!

Nice review, but I'm biased as I've always loved the Street Triple. It was a said day when I discovered I'm a bit too tall to be comfortable on one. That's a great color scheme for it as well.
I'd be crying if I had to give up a 675
Nice quick review. How was comfort on the slimmer seat for those 5k miles? Torn between this and the R
Didn't really want to see my mum reviewing my next toy. I wanted it caned within an inch of its life, then a review on that.
Awesome stuff! Get yourself a tail tidy though! it will look so much better
Nice, beautiful and brave woman, lovely on her bike, we need more women riding, motorbikes are for everyone, this is wonderful, i like it; and of course the street triple is my dream that one day will become true

Great review!
My old tuned 955i topped out to 155mph indicated, so 152 isn't bad at all for a 675. John Thomas would be hard-pressed to best that.
Lovely bike and colour scheme. What are bikes like this classed as in general, naked sports tourer?
I'd love a Triple. How much lower is the seat hight on the Rx compared to the Daytona? I'm not exactly an NBA player. :(
can MCN not afford a decent camera and mic? any smartphone would do better than whatever potato you are using.
+truantray made me laugh. "potato" lol :D
Lol so true though
cool review

What do you normally ride !!!!!
fantastic motorcycle
One question, can this model use TPMS?
How was reliability?
Sorry, im not sure i understood....did you really thoroughly enjoyed your experience on the bike?
Having the use of a long term loaner is awesome but the real question is, Would you drop your own hard earned money on one Alison?
Looks good
Nice!

Thats interesting. Thanks for the info mate.
Where did his subs go?
Great video, lovely lady but I missed it. She loves thebike, why is she taking it back?
It was a test bike
Alex Duey oh, makes sense
People from the UK don't say miles... Calling ducktales on this episode
+blade643 Not sure if dumb... or just a troll....
I find realy cool when Woman ride Motorbikes.
just traded my r6 for one of these
How did you find it compared to your R6 ? Power, handling.comfort etc.
Comfort and handling are better, down low the power is bettet but i miss the hot above 10k
so you have a great bike to a woman who probably rides a BMW GS and calls it the fastest bike she'll ever ride...
