Hmm. I have a Red 24 STRS. My key is black so dunno whats with your key. The wind protection thing is kinda nitpicky TBH. It's a naked bike and frankly the wind ain't that bad. If it is bad you are probably going too fast anyway. The single piece header/exhaust thing is annoying but there is probably a reason for it. Range is OK but I suppose is a valid nitpick.
In regards to your comment about people actually considering downgrading to an R because of the Dash??? I agree with you. I’m a day sport rider I take off at 9:00 am and finish at 3:00-4:00 pm I can say with all sincerity That the only time I look at my TFT on my Super Duke is to change modes , calculate remaining fuel and glance at tire Pressures In other words I know my bike and hardly ever look at revs I never look at speed unless I’m in the vicinity of LEO’s I just ride 😅
I have a gray 24 RS and I got a black key. I agree with you on all of your five things, except the key. I also find the dash annoying. They could have used the space better and you wouldn't have to screw with the joystick as much while riding (it is a distraction).
My only gripe with the RS (this years cosmic yellow RS is my third consecutive ST RS) is the TFT, the 2017 TFT was good, especially for its time, the 2020 dash was not good but I hate the 2023 TFT because of its tiny letters on the display, in fact the simple basic dash on the R (also on the Trident and 660 Tiger) is IMO preferable, re not being able to fit a slip on end can, it's Triumph's kiss ass with those implementing Euro 5, luckily the standard exhaust makes a lovely sound were with some other bikes the sound is so bad you just must change it, I love my RS and couldn't believe the great leap forward Triumph have made from the 2020 model in both performance and handling, shortening gears 2 to 6 has made acceleration so much better and raising the tail just 11mm has made the front lean in sharper whilst still keeping it planted, it's hard to imagine how Triumph can improve on this bike without upping the capacity which is precisely what KTM and Yamaha have done to keep the 890R and MT-09 competitive with the street triple. in fact KTM have upped the capacity from 890 to 990 for 2024 making the new bike a litre bike to all intents, don't forget this was a 790 just four years ago, surely it can no longer be classed as a middleweight.
My top 5 things I don’t like (revised): 1. Inability to control DRL separately like the Euro bikes (I have the non DRL cruise control). 2. TPMS does not allow for lower tires pressures. Even if you hide the menu item, the warning light still shows on the dash when tire pressure drops more than three psi below factory setting (34 front, 42 rear). 3. Only one headlight is normally on, and one high beam on the other headlight (when selected). I would prefer that both headlights are on normally, with high beams available on both lights, as well. 4. Brake and clutch levers don’t adjust close enough to handle bar grip, even with closest setting. 5. Triumph connectivity module doesn’t support turn-by-turn with a map, only an arrow. 6. *Bonus: Triumph connectivity module doesn’t support (control) GoPro Hero 11 Black. Purchased and returned for this reason. I now run the Insta360 X3. 7. *Bonus: Rider mode not saved when the bike is turned off. Must be set each time. That said, I LOVE this bike! Best bike I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned several (Ducati, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki). The above list is also “nitpicking.”
I haven’t ridden a Trident 660, but by just looking at the specs alone I would say it would be pretty major difference. There is a significant gap in power levels and quality of components.
Great video. Really considering buying this bike this week. In talks right now. I took a test ride and it wasn't enough to guage a ton. How do you find the comfort? Is it a ton of weight on the hands?
I just ordered the full fly screen kit so that should help with some wind protection, as for the exhaust, I haven't decided which route to go yet, im kind of curious to see what's coming down the pipeline as Akrapovic and Triumph just announced they are working on something together, I think I want to see that first to know all of my choices before I make one.
I think the Zard sounds the best on the Triple. I have it on mine and love it! looks great in powder coat black. Compliments the engine nicely. The ferring will add a nice look to the bike.@@FifthNorth
Hey, Red RS here. To all Streety riders, check your clutch cable near the key. The clutch cable puts extreme pressure on the cable holder and there is almost a hole in the casing after 8500km… I have my 10,000 inspection in 3 weeks, let's see what the dealer says. Just wanted to warn you. always have a good trip!
Edit: Triumph replaced the cable. I moved both lever units 1 cm outwards (Slide over the white cross on the handlebar). Now the problem seems to be gone. 😊
Given how “near perfect” the Street Triple is (yes, I also own one and have drunk the Kool Aid, though mine is a 2020 R), any list of 5 worst things will necessarily be nitpicking. 😊 Agree with your take on the smaller tank, removal of the kickstand peg, smaller windscreen, and the one-piece exhaust system. However, I really don’t like the dash, particularly the way the tach is displayed. It’s so hard to read. They should have kept the analog-style tach of the 2019 ST-RS, IMHO. Love the Rev’it Spark Air jacket. I have the same one! Hahaha!!
Yup! Facts! The kool aid has been consumed haha, honestly everyone complains about the dash but it doesnt bother me at all, plus honestly the more i get used to the sound and feel of the bike the less i need the tach. And yeah the spark air is great in the heat! Thanks for watching.
@@FifthNorth Ohh absolutely a preference thing. I like the linear rev counter on the R because I find it easier to read than the one that snakes up either side of the TFT on the RS. Minor gripe really; I'd take the RS every day of the week over the base model purely due to the better kit and better colours. I always wanted a Daytona in yellow and this is probably the closest thing we'll get to it.
Red 2024 STR 765 RS here. I love the dash too. I agree, some people are exaggerating about the dash, specifically the rev counter. I use the dash with the digital rev counter. It’s large and easy to read. Problem solved.
Get the red bike! It looks so bad ass! I think! It looks! So much better then! The yellow one! It reminds me of a Suzuki! Street bike! You mind as well be one! And put a Suzuki sticker on it! 😆😄
I guess to each their own. I was dead set on getting the red one until I saw them both in person, when I did, I fell in love with the yellow. I think they both look great but yellow got the edge for me.
Hello, I like the Triumph Street Triple too. I like it's sound. What I don't like about it is that it does not resemble the Bonneville. About the T.F.T. Dashboard, I would prefer the instrumentation of the Bonneville. Either as a stock item or an accessory replacement. A kick stand tab can be welded to it. I like that Cosmic Yellow too. " Hey! "
Downgrading to get the R dash?? The two main reasons to go with the RS for me was the dash and the nice cosmic yellow colour. The dash on the R is in my opinion one of the worst things about the bike I can't believe a premium brand like Triumph still doesn't go full TFT on those bikes in 2024, it's not like they are cheap.
Yeah I don't get it, I know im in the minority here but I prefer the RS dash and don't find it at all confusing or difficult. And the RS offers so many upgrades over the R, and to your point the Cosmic Yellow as well that I could never downgrade.
@@ZabDevin interesting, I would have been like ok, different region, different keys…but we are both in the USA…yeah the key difference doesn’t make sense. Ill have to ask my contact at Triumph, now im curious.
Agree with all except #3. Muscle memory should allow you to easily find the kickstand without looking down, at least that’s how it works for me. Either your muscle memory is off or you don’t ride a lot. Just kidding. 😈
Im getting better with it, but to your point about muscle memory, I think my memory is of my previous bike and the kickstand was at different angle so I’m still adjusting.
Matter of fact it is 2024. My VIN, title and all my paperwork say 2024. Keep in mind depending on the region of the world the model year is either 2023 or 2024. Here in the USA ours are designated as 2024 model year bikes. I believe in Europe they are 2023 model years but same bikes, not sure why Triumph did that but the USA bikes are 2024 model year. The 2023 in the USA was the "Carbon Black" model. Thanks for watching, much appreciated.
The first year model of the 765 n the UK was the 2017, took a while to ship and sell in the US and was marketed as a 2018 year model, they've been off by 1 model year ever since. So this is the 2024 model year in the US. Also, I have the same cosmic yellow bike and have a silver triumph key. My silver 2018 765RS had a red key. Seems to be totally random.
@@303MoTo thanks for the added info. Yup you are correct USA is 2024, as for the key, yeah at this point I have to think its random. Thanks for watching.

Yeah who knows…seems like its random
Would you feel a major difference between this and the Trident 660. Is it night and day?
I haven’t ridden a Trident 660, but by just looking at the specs alone I would say it would be pretty major difference. There is a significant gap in power levels and quality of components.
Great video. Really considering buying this bike this week. In talks right now. I took a test ride and it wasn't enough to guage a ton. How do you find the comfort? Is it a ton of weight on the hands?
I find it comfortable, but to be fair I usually don't do rides longer than 90 minutes or so, so I can't really speak on comfort past that.
Clearly you love this bike! Hahah and I don't blame you, Triumph makes good stuff, I love my Trident 660!
Beyond love it! Thanks for watching.
Get full Zard exhaust in powder coat black and a DNK tune. I would also go for some wind protection.

The rev counter on the R model looks better than the RS imo. Unfortunately the only way to get the awesome yellow colour scheme is on the RS.
@@ThiefOfNavarre I guess its all a matter of preference, I really like the RS one and personally have no issues with it.

How does this bike compare to a GSX-8S? Im curious as I have one, obviously the RS is in a price bracket, just curious.
Stay tuned I actually tested a GSX-8S recently and a full review (4 videos) is coming soon!

How many keys does it come with. Shouldn't it have 2 black keys and 1 red master key
Mine came with two red keys....so not sure
I'm a 38 year old female and thinking of getting this bike. I currently have a 125cc scrambler
Its a big jump from a 125cc, but definitely doable if you have the experience.

RS in Triumph = red key. They’ve been doing this for a while now.
Had no idea, thanks for sharing!
Great work. Instant sub as I have the same bike and just did an intro video on my channel as well. Great bikes !
Thank you! Much appreciated!
@@FifthNorth also. We got a black key with our cosmic yellow RS.
@@duffyrides interesting, at this point im convinced that the keys are completely random.
My red RS came with a black key. Wanna swap, lol. 🤣
That is sooooo random! Why would they do that? What region is your bike from? I wonder if its region specific.
Midwest US.

@@FifthNorth Right?! Let us know what they say.
@@ZabDevin yeah I'm curious to know too, my red one got the black key as well.
Why would the tank hold less fuel?
They redesigned the tank as a whole and reduced the capacity to fit the new design
Correct they made it smaller with the new design
Should have seen your key issue coming m.. Red is SO much nicer than the yellow.
Honestly I thought so too at first, then I saw both in real life and in sunlight and the yellow just spoke to me more. Thanks for watching.

Make the tank enen smaller. Lighter and better looking
I still find range important for longer rides.
Not nit picky at all, damn annoying is my version, enough to put me off the bike.
Sad to hear, I absolutely love mine
Didn’t think there was anything you didn’t like about the bike
Yeah super small stuff that I honestly can't even complain about, the bike really is fantastic.
