- 2021 Triumph Street Triple R | First Ride Review
The Triumph Street Triple R sits smack bang in the middle of the Street Triple lineup. But is this the awkward middle child or is it the perfect Street Triple for the road? Join me as I take this cheeky naked sports bike for a first ride review!

Hi bud thinking of the triumph ? What ya think of the gsx750 s ?
@@Granto-ni9qw I've never actually ridden one. Bit long in the tooth now but it still seems a solid bike and cheap for the performance.
@@teddythalmann1534 মোহন
I just can’t get enough of the Triumph Motorcycles. They are very well made.
me too 😍but we can't buy it in turkey because of inflation 🤕
@@turkishsoldier1306 I hope things get better man...
@@VMAdventures88 🥺🙏
Reviewer giggling and laughing out loud during a ride- sign of a good bike.
I showed this bike to my brother and he thought that its ugly.I dont know what was he thinking,its gorgeous!
looks are just an opinion most people either love or hate the styling if you like its all that matters.
I've seen these bikes converted to a single round headlight and I must say it improves the looks (for me) tremendously. Great looking, beautiful bike with an odd headlight design. Every generation they make 'em look better, but it still looks like a predatory insect; Which does look 'cool,' but not pretty.
For me it's the headlights. The thing looks like a bug.
I'm not crazy about the looks but its 10x better than the mt09, which I think is the closest competitor
@@toddlehman1 Are you aware of the updates the mt-09 is getting for 2021? Don't think the Triumph can be called 10x better anymore...
Totally agree. What a fantastic bike! The analog dash is a big plus in my opinion....
If you get this bike. You will not be disappointed. I’ve been riding my dads 2020 and it’s a blast. I’ve got a CBR650R and compared to this it’s pretty lame. My bike is still fun but not torquey at all compared to the street triple. And the street triple you feel like your racing and ready to go at any RPM where with mine it’s only really actually fun and pulls in higher RPMs.
Bought my 2022 R 3 weeks ago and have managed to already blow past the first maintenance. Coming from a long line of cruisers, all Indian, this bike is a whole different level of badassary. I was going to get an Indian FTR but I wanted to try a bike from across the pond and I haven't been disappointed at all! It's hard being nice to it until I'm past the final RPM break-in recommendation. This bike just screams light speed.
What's the break-in period for the Street Triple bro?
Owning a 2020 Street R in Silver Ice since 09/2020 and just loving it 😊
Reliable ?
@@booshting3520 Mine runs with no problems. I am aware of the engine reliability talks RS 2019, because of the Langzeit Test of Mottrad Magazine in Germany. As Triumph is giving 4 years unlimited Guarantee in Germany I felt ok to go with the Streety
This bike is my mo-biking restart after 15 years of pause, before that on 4 Zylinder 1000ccm sport bikes. I did quite some test driving of somewhat different bikes and the streety was my clear choice winner. The decision between R and RS took me some extra time. As lovely as the RS is, today I know taking the R was the absolute right decision for me.
@@booshting3520 remember the 765 is THE engine used by the championship teams in moto 2 !!
I really like the dash on this..love the tach..w a sc exhaust..wow! She is just an animal..great review
Love the giggles every time you grab a bit o throttle!! 😂Good stuff, nice review.
That tripple sound never gets old 😍😍 I think that might have to be my next bike lol
Test rode the RS version today in Paris and totally agree about the mirrors! I can filter better on my GS1250. The guy in the dealership said he could change the mirrors and put more grippy wet weather tires on. Otherwise, superb sound and handling. Had a massive smile on my face the whole time. I'm almost tempted to trade😂
The LRH Street Triple R is my dream bike because I have a horrid inseam. Hoping to buy one this year. The fact that it's a brilliant ride also doesn't hurt.
I feel the pain 😞 too
@@1985safraz It does limit our options a lot. There is a real market that most manufacturers are not tapping into, same applies to riding gear.
Silly question, lazy perhaps…. But: does the STriple S come in same heights as the low ride R?
@@majordelays4909 No it does not, which is odd.
Bought a low km 2020 R today. Love it!!
Such fun bikes to ride. At low revs you can just take it easy, then at higher revs mad mode kicks in. I had a 3 year old S (765cc engine) and it was a great first big bike that you can grow with. Just traded it in for a T7 to try something different and do some off road.
Best thumbnail of a street triple ever.
The words are not coming out from your mouth perfectly
Just because you are so much excited to ride that bike
Absolutely!
Cracking bike. These are meant to be a better road bike than the RS due to more torque being lower in the rev range. I for one favour the move away from the TFT as Triumph owners have had issues with them failing. This would definitely put me of buying a street triple with a TFT second hand.
The new R has less torque and its made higher up. They've made the RS have more torque and lower, but not by much.
I just bought one. Your review validates my wise decision!
good review again Dan, for me you're a good measure as we are about the same height/leg so keep the reviews coming.
Cheers Huw. 👍
Great review! I bought one these today in this colour. Pick it up next Saturday can’t wait!
Ive had mine 1yr now the last 25yrs my bike have been 1000cc and up but this little bike is so much fun
The horn is in the proper position where your thumb naturally rests near it, unlike Hondas where the horn is above the turn signals and you have to look down to find it.
Yeah Honda are the only ones that switch the two that I'm aware of. Thing is, after riding one for a while, I think Honda are on to something. In 3+ years of riding in Southern California, I've used my horn exactly once and in retrospect it was pointless. Pulling in the clutch and revving my motor is significantly louder anyways. The turn signals, however, get used constantly. Having your thumb rest naturally near the blinkers is nice, once you get used to it.
I'm ranging between the Street Triple R and the Kawasaki Z900. Being a beginner, I consider my Z650 a good choice to start with, at least for 2020/21. Keep up your fantastic reviews which I always enjoy watching 👍.
The Street Triple is perfectly fine as a one bike does it all, unless you want to go off road anyway! I had this one for 2 weeks and rode it everywhere including commuting. No problems at all. Z900 is also meant to be a good bike, not ridden one personally but I imagine it won't handle as well as the STR.
Nice video Dan, that has to be one my favourite bikes. I love the street triple. Looks so nice and it goes like a triple should. Nice one man. See you on the next one 👍🏻
Just bought the same model today but in black and red won't be ready for a week though
I tested the RS today, it's so impressive, it looks like a swiss knife, but... I think I'll order the Street R
Why order the r over the rs
@@coastalrider1155 I'm not a pilot so it's difficult to feel the difference between the Ohlins on the RS and Showa rear shock on the R. The TFT dashboard is beautiful but unfortunately the rev counter is difficult to read on the RS. Despite a bit less power, the torque is even a little bit more consistent at the middle range on the R and about the choice of tyres, the Supercorsa on the RS are better than the Diablo Rosso 3 on the R but the Diablo will last about twice as long. Finally, I'm doing some renovation at home so, with the difference of price, I can by a few stuff. 😉
Just wanna say thanks for showing the angles. I'm also a dude with a belly and I know I'll be snug. But damn the soundtrack of this Power plant sounds great. I'm going to pick up a 2022 this Monday and can't wait!!
I've a 2020 Street triple R, I was gonna upgrade my 2018 R for the 2020 RS and after riding it ,it was definitely an improvement on the original RS and I was about to go for it when the dealer asked if I wanted to ride the new R first, thankfully I did and still found the R a better road bike with still better mid range, I do miss the TFT but the two way quickshifter more than makes up for it ,I also fitted bar end mirrors and a seat cowl.
Interestingly, the new RS makes 2NM more torque 50 rpm lower than the R. So the RS now has more power and torque and lower than the R. I guess they really wanted the RS to be the best in all areas.
@@Englishbikerdan the r has more torque in the lower speed range
@@triplepilot392 I've not seen any dyno data to support that yet. The new RS has more power and torque and makes it lower than the 2020 R. A dyno comparison would be useful but I couldn't find one for the 2020 R.

My 2018 Street Triple R never fails to make me grin when I crank the throttle to full at 8,000 RPMs and take it up to 12,0000 RPMs in 3rd or 4th gear.
That's the way to do it!
I have the 2017 R version. Interesting that they've gone back to the clocks from TFT screen.
I think I'd prefer that.
Amazing work!
Greetings from India 🇮🇳
I have a 2019 model. I can get 14 litres in at empty. You are the only reviewer I have come across that mentions this issue. I would like to know the actual tank size of the Trident ehen you do that review.
That is gorgeous. My FZ09 is getting a bit long in the tooth at 65k miles (she'll still pull 3rd gear power wheelies at speed though), and I find myself eyeballing a worthy replacement.
From the front and the back is good but from the side is meh especially the headlight part to the body.
I love triumph but I just can't get past the headlight design. I wish it more integrated to the body not too much gap
I love this bike, but don’t like the sticking out headlights from the side profile.
Braided break lines are my first mods on all my vehicles.
Yep, they are great. They don't swell so the brakes stay crisper for longer. A worthy mod!
@Too Legit To Quit every track rider just killed you in his mind
Fastest Praying Mantis on the road.🦟
Careful it doesn't eat your head!
Its the first and only bike which I fell in love with.
Definitely do a comparison between the r and rs! Otherwise good review, man
Its slowly growing on me..I have a gsxr750 now n by next winter ill be looking for bike #4.. Aprilia Rs660, gsxr1000,or this
Hi, i'm gettin new Triple R in may. Thanks for reviews. It made my decision.
Glad I could help!
@@Englishbikerdan I was conidering KTM 790, but there is something peculiar in triple R :)
I also have street triple r 2020! I am from Ukraine. Cool
Awesome! Hope all will be ok over there! Stay safe 👍
Brakes don't have initial bite as they are designed for trail braking, after all, it is a quick bike and a triumph triple
Nice review ! I'm hesitating between the Trident and the Street Triple R for my first bike and for daily commuting and going out with friends. Cheers from Switzerland
Thanks, you can't really go wrong with either but as a first bike I would personally recommend the Trident. It has plenty of power where you want it and handles very well! Cheers!
@@Englishbikerdan I have the same dilemma here as Theo and the test ride of the STR gave me a horsy gape throughout but not sure the trident will bcoz of the soft power delivery I heard it has from some reviewers. Hope I make the right choice!
I prefer that dash to any TFT
Why have some bike manufacturers started swapping positions of the horn and indicator switch, somebody needs a good slap around the ears.
(MV, Honda ?)
Well done Triumph, nice street bike, I'm very tempted.
Subscriber since 2 years
Such a great looking bike, I honestly don't mind it having the older dash I'm not a fan of the TFT. I occasionally get to ride my wife's 675 street Triple, pity its a bit cramped for big tall guys like me.
buy the R if TFT is not to your liking. Cramped seating, well, then you may have to pick a diffferent bike. For example: found one of those new Tigers more „roomy“ in that sense.
@@Zweefduiker Not sure I get what you mean? I get to ride my wife's Street Triple occasionally and I do like the bike. It's too cramped for me and I do own a larger bike; an MT10.
@@Banditmanuk exactly. If the Streety is too cramped for you, just buy or use a different bike. Everyone will understand….. No need for torture…. 😉 But the Street Triple is a nice bike. If only for right size people…. ;)
Great Video 🔥
i rode the R as well but had to go for the S because i only have A2
was gonna ask if you know the exact differences between r and s but then you said you‘re going to make a Video about all 3 Versions so looking forward to that 👍
I noticed that with the fuel Tank as well
the bike was stuttering already and i was only able to get 15,4l in the tank
Thanks Dan. Thanks great review. I had good test ride of a low km 2020 bike. All you say is true. A very punchy bike for its size! The triple has a roar character compared with a four (GSX) or some twins. A couple of negatives, apart from the old fashioned dash. The left mirror vibrated badly. Not the right. The bike is very smooth slow and the quick shifter is outstanding. The seat is a bit slippery. I slipped into the tank every time I braked firmly. I would get it recovered immediately if I buy the bike.
The induction sound? I have a 675 Daytona and a Speed Four: both have inductions that sound great when you really open them up, but the triple engine is the true magic sound. dare I say it induces a smile?
29 inseam, subscribed. Appreciate your reviews / quality. Btw that triple sounds so throaty / love it.
Thanks mate 👍
Great review! Can we expect an upgrade to this from your CB650R? 👍😎🇦🇺
We'll see! 😁
@@Englishbikerdan An English Biker on an English bike sounds like a good fit! 😜
Hi Dan.
I enjoy all your reviews.
I’m interested to know your thoughts on the MT09 2021 compared to the Street R.
Keep up the good work! 👍
Thanks, not been able to ride any Yamaha's recently due to my local dealer not wanting to work with me. Might have to go further afield for one.
A bit late. The new 21+ MT09 is a lot better, (more settled) than previous. Only you will know what’s better for yourself between trumpet and yam. Yams more fun for me, very light in feel but happier with R triple as it’s smoother and easy to ride. Yams more manic in its nature.
@@douglasalexander4348 Hey man I was looking for this reply thank you :)
How is mt09 2021 different from 2022? They told me its same version in dealership
@@jankosrdic2991 Sorry, yes, 2021 is the year they changed, I’ve only seen them this year though. Yamaha seemed to have tamed the mt09 down a little, but it’s still very lively compared to the Triumph. Triumph have done an outstanding job of making 765 very smooth and easy to ride, better for me.. You have to ride both, we all like something different.
Sooo getting this as my first bike!
Great review as always. I’ll get the chance to ride it tomorrow.
Thank you! Enjoy your ride 😊
@@Englishbikerdan I will :)
Hay Dan. Need part 2 of your Germany trip, first one is so good. I am thinking about the CB650R for my first bike but worried about the waight of the 4 cylinder waight. Does it have good balance transition? Would love to have a chat with you about the bike.
Man it’s the bike I desperately want with each and every one of my sinews, but it’s too fucking expensive for me to afford. Almost decided to take a plunge with an expensive loan for a second hand one but finally decided to get a CB300R which is what I could actually afford 😅
Sounds like a sensible option! Enjoy the 300! :)
They must have lowered the seat height. I saw on the last generations and felt it was high and Im only 30 inch inseam. Would love this bike as an all rounder but seems more of a guilty pleasure. Nice review! Havent seen your channel in a while. Love your onscreen demeanor.
It did feel smaller than the 2019 one I rode. It's also quite skinny, which helps! Cheers!
@@Englishbikerdan Well thats reassuring! Thanks! Cheers!
Thanks Dan. I mostly ride in he city and twisties. I am a moment away from buying a GSX S750 (which I love) but had had second thoughts. The Street Triple R is NZ$4,000 or 2,000 pounds more but is a class ahead. From what you have said you would spend the extra for the Street Triple?
Whats your audio setup Dan ? External recorder in your jacket ? The sound is so darn clean :o
Yeah, External recorder in the pocket. The only issue is getting the levels right! Cheers! 👍
Good review Dan on my 2019 str I can lean forward and swivel mirror easily for lane splitting which obliviously you can't on rs model. Totally agree with tank size I suspect around 15 lts max .Love my bikes quality and user friendly
I own a 2014 Striple 675 R best bikes on the road...
Great video dan lovely bike sounds fantastic stay safe looking forward to more videos 🇬🇧👍
Loved the review! Could you give some details on the riding gear that you’re wearing? Thanks
I like the analog tach.
Nice vid and a great sound!! I am loving it!!
Wish the RS had the the red subframe
Can you make a video on the 1200 RS too?
By the way, love your videos and your progress!
Have been a subscriber since 1k followers
Long way to go buddy!
Thanks for your continued support! As soon as the 1200 RS is out I should be able to get a ride on one. Cheers! 👍
@@Englishbikerdan awesome!!!
The mirrors look a bit better than the old blade / triangular ones. I need good mirrors fo commuting in a sea of verpas and t-maxs
so to get the weight off your risks , just use all the 116 BHP and make the wind pressure push you backwards ?
and then explain that to the policeman as he (or she !) gives you a speeding ticket, "But officer, my wrists were aching , so I had to go fast to relieve the pressure on them !!"
Would this be a worthwhile upgrade to the current SV650? How is it on lower speed city riding and commuting? I mean 95% of the time I am not hooning, and I don't do track days so maybe I'm not looking at the right bike? But the build quality and performance can't be denied and it's specs, electronics and price is in the Goldilocks zone, that's why it's in my shortlist. Great review as usual by the way. I like your format e.g. the proper insertion of glossy b-roll. Cheers!
Thanks for the Review !!!
Hi Dan awesome vlog again I've got 2018 triumph street triple 765 RS loving it. Sadly I've got to change it this year mite go for the speed RS 1200 ? Or something different but still a triumph anyway you take care and ride safe TTFN
I got the same bike and i love it. I can confirm everything you say.
The only thing that is different are the riding modes, in only have 2, rain and road.
I went back to the dealer for the first oil change and asked them, also told them that the website says 3 riding modes.
They have checked it and they say that’s because it haves the same dash as the triple S.
Don’t know what to think of this, is the sport mode better? Do i need to take this back to the dealer and make a fuzz about it?
They are nice people and the they seem very honoust.
Lovely Bike..Great Video Dan !
Great review, thank you.
I guess I’ll go with the trident 116 hp is too much for me. Beautiful bike indeed. Who wouldn’t like triumph
You'll love the Trident! 👍
@@Englishbikerdan thanks mate, I’ll get me one then. Cheers
Definitely waiting for the review of the 3 versions, mostly the R vs RS as you rode the 2 already. Still haven’t decided between the 2 so it will help!
Wouldn’t the RS be the most obvious choice?
@@j.h.237 Probably. I don’t do track days so that’s why i’m asking.
Yeah, I’d like to see myself on one of those one day too.
@@j.h.237 I'd go for the R myself.
@@Englishbikerdan why the R and not the RS? Price or other factors?
Hi from France!! I'm hesitating between this bike and the honda 650r (both 2023 models). I am aware engine is different. First I thought of the cb1000r but what to do on simple road... Too much power I think. I owned a cb125r and it was such a cool bike, so reliable. I now have a sv650. I've heard Tiumph was not as reliable as honda and this triumph a bit harder to handle than the honda. What's your opinion? Love your review.
Certainly don't need anything bigger or more powerful on the road. Perfect bike BUT expensive servicing...
Yay.. finally good throttle response. My pet peave. How is your Honda throttle response again? How is the suspension on this over bumps again..? Sounds like a good bike?
OMG. Finally, a youtube motorcycle reviewer who is my height. #werenotthatshort. You should review the KTM890 duke r if you get the chance.
Haha! Yes I'll be collecting the Duke 890 from KTM in early June 👍
Smooth and precise... sounds like my kind of bike. Is my search over?
I just bought one, its very nice.
Hey Dan, great video, no bs and to the point.. Could you tell me what the difference between 2019 r, and this 2021 r ? Is it rider modes or other ? Btw, you can spin the mirror bit around 90 degrees, it’s then about an inch narrower. I like em as they are, cats whiskas, rather a mirror hit than the bars..
Hey, if I remember correctly the 2019 R had more torque than the RS but less bhp. It also had a fancier dash. The new 2021 R has less power and torque than the RS and a much simpler dash from the older models. There's probably other changes to things such as suspension but it's been a while! Thanks for watching!
Dilemma bike with screen (albeit poss buffeting probs) and luggage options versus naked, clean air but no luggage??
Tracer/tiger 660/ Multistrada versus street triple/monster?? Which would you go for
Is seat high enough and pegs low enough for someone 6 foot not to be cramped
Its for sure a nice bike it sounds a bit like ya got to wind it up a bit in the revs ta get good power would that be right I was thinking of going down this route next year maybe selling my slightly heavier bikes but not sure yet . Is it a lot more powerful than the 675 top spec one I am guessing a little more . Cheers good run there : )
Any thoughts on doing a video on the huski vitpilen 701
Definitely in the future! 👍
Riding by the meadows early in the video?
Yeah.
Please review the KTM RC 390
Which one you like more and you think wish one is better price quality cb650r or street triple 765 R?
such cool bike, but such ugly lights xD
The 2021 Street Triple R and RS are supposed to have 5" TFT since 2020. What gives?
Work of art
Thanks for the review.
Looking for new bike and cant decide between Street Triple R 2021 and Yamaha mt09 2021, do you have recommendation between those two?
regards
Thanks for watching. I can't really advise as it depends what you prefer. Both are great, the MT has a bit more torque. Test both! :)
Lovely bike bro.
I am 5,7 tall and i think street triple's normal version is too high for me.
The dashboard looks weird
