Rider modes: Road mode - Standard throttle response ; Rain mode - Reduced throttle response. This is done via the ride by wire system. I realized after a viewer comment that I did not clearly discuss these modes in the video, thanks for letting me know :)
I just bought a red one. In 70 years of riding (since age 13) I love this one.
Well done sir !!!!,may you have many more years ahead of you with your bike ,respect sir ,respect
I hope you're still riding.
I love mine too. I'm 55 and also have a indian ftr1200. The triumph is the go to bike most of the time.
I live in Thailand and have a 2019 Street Twin...totally love the bike on short trips, long trips and frequent mountain twistees
Can't describe how helpful and fun to watch this video is. Thanks man, really appreciate it :) Decided to go with this one out of all a2 legal triumph bikes thanks to your video!

Dominik Bójko thanks buddy! 🙏. I’ll try to keep the content coming. That bike is one of the easiest to get into from Triumph. Really like cruising around town on it :)
Thank you for a nice review on the Triumph Street Twin 900. I've been debating between the new Street Twin 900 and the new Speed 400. I think both are great bikes. The Speed 400 will do everything I want, but the Speed Twin 900 will be a bit roomier when riding two up, plus the Speed Twin 900 has that great exhaust note.
I've never owned a Triumoh. I've owned mostly Japanese bikes and four Harleys. I will never own another Harley, the last one cost me $37,000 and it broke down four times within the first year of ownership.Once again thank you. Rife safely and enjoy every journey.
Nice video, enjoyable. New subscriber. This Street Twin is the bike I long for. I once had a 76 Bonnie that I sold for a down payment on a house and have regretted it ever since. Time for the latest and greatest. Love Triumph!
Allan Ohlsen right on and thanks! Triumph is really a timeless brand. The street twin is one of the easiest riding bikes I’ve been on. I’m excited to ride the speed twin as well. Hope to hear from you if you pick one up. There’s a thunderbird 1700 that has my eye right now 😉.
Thanks a lot for this great review, I’m getting mine this week ! That was a great help to choose :)
Anthony D glad to help! Hope you love it:) let me know what you think.
@@motodrang4287 Thanks! Yes as I could expect, this Triumph's just perfect, nothing bad to say, just pure pleasure to ride :)
Great review, a thing of beauty, thanks
Nice review. Thank you. The entire ride I was fixating on the brake reservoir. At least they do a machined one. Not sure it's a "beginner bike" though (I unintentionally wheelied my CB300F a few days after getting it as my first bike), but it's definitely a "second bike" and gives much food for thought. *subscribed*
Thank you! Yeah, one of my biases is I love cc's lol you're right that 900 may not be beginner level. CBF 300 is a fun bike to hooligan on for sure. Glad to have you aboard!
Still my personal favorite bike out right now
Great review was going to get one as first bike in feb after passing test still riding around on 125 at moment because of lockdown as all test centres and schools cloesed, sucks a bit this was my original choice as first bigger bike in january was pondering on a honda cb650r on a cb125r great fun to learn on. so much choice was building up to a street twin or bonnie all i can do at moment is look at reviews and mind ride AHHHHHHH take care from wales uk
Totally understand, I'm waiting for a Trophy SE that I bought before the lockdown but is still at the dealer. So I've also been riding it vicariously through youtube reviews XD. Any Honda bike is usually a pretty good buy but they will likely be slower (never ridden those models but just guessing based on displacement). The street twin is pretty dang peppy and having a little more grunt is always good when around all the cars. Best of luck with the boredom and safe riding when you get the new bike!
I'm on my second triumph and I've never had an issue with either ... good review
Thanks! second for myself as well and I don't regret moving to triumph at all.
I was just looking at this bike on their website. and 65mph on the 217 is very good speed thanks for the review.
These 900 motors are so sweet. Wonderful 👌
Since they've apparently dropped the Street Cup 😭 it looks like I'll be getting this or the 900 Scrambler. This answered some questions I had. Good review.
Paul Guy thanks! I also liked the street cup but good news is that you can basically turn your twin into a cup, all kinds of aftermarket goodies and all 😀.
I am presently torn between the Street Cup and Street Twin. Both are 2017 models with 11k and 8k kms. Going down to check them this week
Great review. Subbed.
The Cryptonomatron thanks! 🙏
Good video. Thanks for posting it.
Do you know if there will be a 2019 Street Cup with some slight changes like the Street Twin in this video?
Ontario Andrews thanks buddy! No official announcement for a street cup so far and my dealer thinks they are discontinued, only selling the remaining street cups. I really like the look of those so sad day. I think the idea will be that you can (almost) create the look of one with accessories or inspiration kits from triumph. Also the speed twin is probably expected to move sales around. Thanks again :)
Hello Drang, I would like to know how it goes in little mountain roads, if it has enough torque to pass a couple of cars in a short time in those tiny roads ? like you are at cruising at 35 and you want to pass quick. Thanks
Fun bike...hope to have 1 in the near future...
great Review !! next year I will buy one in Jet Black or Korosi Red !!
Right on! super fun bike, you'll love it.
@@motodrang4287 Thank you !! I'm sure !!
great review tried out the t120 and the t100 could this be the one ,booked my test ride with thrre legged cross UK .
great review.thanks
Thank you!
Nice review budd 👍
Crazy Aces thanks!
I have a 2017 matt black Street Twin since new, once I understood (change riding style) how to ride this bike. I can see the appeal of the Triumph Bonneville, 12000km later I love it.
twin phill totally agree, I feel the same way about my tiger. Now that I’m used to it I love it.
@twin Phill what do you mean with change riding style? I feel mine is a still a little ripper
@@jeffie0 my previous bike was a
Ducati Monster 1000s you could carry more corner speed and change lines through the corner. Plenty of ground clearance so scrapping pegs was not something that happened, only the side stand scrapped.
For me the Street Twin feels better going slow in, fast out through a corner. Once you pick your line, changing it requires greater input, so I pick the line and stick to it. The Street Twin is fun to ride and if I'm honest I enjoy it more than the monster at legal speeds.
Hope that makes sense, I'm not an expert.
I do love the bike 👍
I was totally gearing up to down grade for a 1733cc 750pound cruiser to either a 900 - 1200cc triumph ( my 1st since I owned a 750 trident) back in the early 70's. When last week I read and saw that Triumph has moved production of it's bikes to Thailand. Totally blew my wishes all to hell. That's a lot of Brits that lost a job for cheaper labor.
I agree but the good news is that they still make certain models in the UK. Only the budget bikes moved. Call me a Thatcherist but I also hate to see the globalization of business. They pretty much all do it now, maybe except for the Italian bikes.
Nice Review. The oil reservoir does look ugly as mentioned in one of the comments. The bike needs two main changes. 1 : Replace the oil reservoir with a similar one on T 100, 2 : Replace the handlebar with a thicker one. The present one serves the purpose, but does not match the bike looks wise. At least give the customer option or choice on a few things. Otherwise everything is nice. The new seat is nice, new side panel design is nice, the new instrument panel design is nice & induction of ROAD / RAIN Mode is a very much needed addition & 10 PS increase in power, not very much needed, but I will say OK. NICE BIKE.
I have a 18 model. It is time for a valve clearance inspection. I may consider new cam or cams.
Triumph quality is outstanding. People just jumped on the very real story of bad quality across British goods in the 1970’s. Before that Made in England meant best you could buy. Since the 70’s attitudes have been slow to recover, not least because it suits the competition to propagate that myth which all came from industrial unrest in the 70’s.
Triumph are made in Thailand now.
Nice. Thanks!
Thanks for the review! I checked out this bike yesterday - as a tall person, did you feel like it was too small for you?
Howie Frank thanks for the question :) I do think it’s a bit too small for my taste. I’m also right around 200 lbs so I like a little more heft on a bike. Although I wasn’t uncomfortable riding it, there was a fair amount of room to move around on the seat. Still, For their retro lineup I’d probably have to go with the big scrambler 1200.
Very nice Video!!!
Paul Piefke thanks!
Hey, really looking to grab this bike. Thanks for the review. Though wanted to ask will it be easy for me to ride as i will be shifting from automatic bike to this manual one? and ya heavy traffic here as i would like for daily purpose to commute. Have been riding auto bike for last 8 years. From Thailand :)
Vichanath Singh thanks for the question. I think this bike would be very easy to adapt to manual with. The clutch is very forgiving. There will be an adjustment period for you but I think you’ll like it when you are used to it. The manual gearing is especially nice for me when ascending or descending a steep hill. It has a 5 speed and the gears are wide, which is similar to my first manual bike.
Moto Drang thank you so much Drang 👍
Wish I still lived in Portland so I could bug you with all my questions before I buy my first Triumph.
How do you think the street twin would handle having a passenger for short rides around town?
Thanks for the comment and I love being bugged all things moto ;) There is a lot of depending factors but in general it should work fine. For me it's pretty much a solo machine as the wife would not have much room but I see people two up around town and at see see coffee for sure. I would guess that the bonneville would be slightly better for a passenger if being honest.
Nice bike and it does sound good. I really don't like the flat paint manufacturers are using lately.
Triumph has come a long way in the last few years...
Bass Player interesting point on the flat paint job. It sure has been a trend lately and surely not for everyone. I thought the glossy black one looked really good. Thanks for the comment!
This bike compared to trident 660. If you have ridden the trident. Which would you choose.
Yup. I want one.
Hi Mr Drang,,I see you wear a chest protector,Me too,,,apart from protecting your chest,it also insulates the chest from the cold,,,If you love the" Street Twin" then you will want to marry the Speed Twin,,honestly its that good...
lipsee100 thanks for the comment, I can’t wait to ride that bike!
How would you compare the street twin to the BMW R nineT pure? The R nineT pure seems to have pretty good specs for not too much more; $9,995 in the US compared to $9,300. Would love to hear your opinion!
Good question as that bike is a definite competitor. I've never ridden any BMW but I know that they generally perform very well. I have two considerations for the bmw vs triumph that have almost nothing to do with the actual bikes. 1) is there a dealer network and service location close to you as just about any bike will have some issues ; and 2) is it a good dealer/service department to work with. My Triumph shop is excellent to work with but not all dealers are trustworthy ( for any brand). I'd go with the easiest one to keep maintained for sure, truth is they are both great bikes with the bmw having maybe a bit more status symbol and definitely more horse power ( alot more) The street twin is sooooo easy to ride and definitely has some serious punch as well. My guess is the cost of total ownership is lower on the Triumph ( maintenance/repair/maybe insurance?)
Hope that helps and I'm interested to see which you choose :)!
Great video! What are the main differences between this bike and the T100?
JACK ATTACK thanks! Good question. I’d say from a rider perspective, the main thing is the handling. Street twin is much more nimble and light feeling, almost sporty. T100 is much cushier for cruising and has a more planted feel, very secure as well as being more capable of handling a passenger or loads of gear. Hope that helps :)
Moto Drang Thanks!!
Nice vídeo man! I’m about to buy a 17/17 Street Cup and I want to ask you, do you think it’s worth to pay 30%~40% more to get a brand new Street Twin?
Well 18% more power, better front brake, so you have to make up your mind if those improvements are worth it for you or not.
That is a good question, I really like the street cup and 30-40% more is quite a bit. I think the 19 will be a much smoother riding bike with the engine upgrades but if you can save a few bucks and you like the street cup then that may be the one. If it were me and lets say 40 %, street cup ;)
@@torbenjensen6236 That's what I want to know, those changes are worth the extra money? It's makes a huge difference on the bike? I'm paying the in BRL (Brasil) equivalent to $8200 in the Street Cup, the 2019 Street Twin cost the equivalent to $11500.
@@motodrang4287 Thank you for your answer!
@@MatheusTarradt1 Just wondering, did you get the Street Cup? If you do, how's it going? I am considering getting a low mileage 17 model
In your video the sound of the exhaust is awesome, but how does the sound from the video compare to the real life sound? And is there a difference with the last genereration street twin?
Great question, it seems to me the video does not do it justice. It really sounds meaty in person from idle to high rev. The 2019 absolutely sounds deeper and more throaty than the last model did. I tested them both side by side. Thanks for the comment!
@@motodrang4287 I recently heard a 2017 and it sounded spectacular. So an improvement on that must sound amazing! Mind if I ask what your audio/video setup is? It's really great.
@@bc67 Hey there glad you liked the video! I agree the 17 and 18 both sound great. For my video I just use a gopro 6 attached to a sony lavalier mic. I spent many hours finding a place that didn't sound like crap with a helmet mic and the only issue now is my super loud scorpion helmet. I just put the sony mic clipped onto my Sena mic from there and the gopro does a pretty good job of sound processing :).
@@motodrang4287 Cool; thanks for the info!
I have a serious question about options. No one has gotten back to me on this query.
As this is a ride by wire bike, like all the T100's... Can you get the optional cruise control for this bike?
Triumph lists the part, which is a left handed control replacement, for the T100 and T120. But NO mention of this is something you can put in the Street Twin. Even though, technically, it's a T100.
Can you ask your dealer friends because mine are brain dead.
On it bud! I should be in tomorrow or Thursday
❤️❤️👍
I am 5'5" and about 125 lbs. I'll be 20 years old by the time I will realistically be buying my first bike. I consider myself a responsible teenager, and I have experience with powersports (manual cars, dirtbikes, jetskis, etc.) Would the street twin, or a bike similar, be a good fit for me? I know this is a question that gets asked a lot on the internet and there is no clear answer but I want to have some sort of idea so I can get underway with buying the bike as soon as I get my endorsement.
Matthew Betz this would be a great bike for you, easy to maintain and modify. Plenty of power but definitely not excessive. It only has five gears which may not be ideal for long rides at high speeds (over 70 mph). Also, they are affordable. You could get a used model for 3-5 thousand USD. Yamaha fzo7 and the retro Kawasaki line also make great bikes.
I bought a 2017 ST three years ago and am very happy with it. I vacillated between it and the 1200, and decided that given my size (5'8" and 143 lbs) that the ST would be easier to handle, not to mention push around the garage or get it up on my Pitbull stand to work on, etc. I think I made the right decision. But one thing I did find is that the suspension, esp the rear shocks, are too stiff for a lightweight person, You can only adjust the preload, not the damping (I assume it is the same for the 2019 ST as well). I would recommend you do a test ride and go over some rough pavement to see if the ride is OK with you. This summer I bit the bullet and sprung for a pair of Fox shocks. At $775 they were not cheap. But after installing (which took like 10 minutes) I noticed a great improvement, especially if I dial them up soft (I have the damping set at 23 out of 25) to handle the awful pavement here in Wisconsin.
Hi Moto Drang, seeing your previous overview video and and this review i did grab a Street twin 2019. Thanks for the review. However i am new with big bikes and would like to know to lube the street twin chain at home myself. Should i put a stand or buy a standlift and put swing arm? Anyone else if can help me with it too. Thank you, from Thailand
Vichanath Singh thanks for the comment :) a paddock stand works great and keeps the rear tire off the ground so you can hand spin the wheel while cleaning then lubing the chain. If you don’t have that you can just move the bike forward or backward in small increments while you clean/lube the exposed chain. Just don’t do it with the bike in gear like some people try to do 😎
@@motodrang4287 Thank you so much :) Will grab paddock stand.
Vichanath Singh one more thing, just make sure to not over tighten the chain. I have a nasty habit of doing that 🤣
Moto Drang 😄😅 sure, will keep that in mind. Thank you once again.
I would love one of these bikes if I could find a backrest for the passenger. As far as I know, they do not make one for the street twin yet. Maybe have to resort to a padded top box?
There's definitely a way to do that ( that's how my wife and I use our Tiger) but it would likely take some creativity and maybe some custom work. I know corbin seats have back rest options.
Moto Drang thanks my friend. I have looked into Corbin, even emailed them a while back. They said they do not have plans for a Gunfighter & Lady (backrest) seat for the ST, but might in the future. Interesting for sure, I failed to ask them if a Bonneville seat would fit on the Street Twin as they do have a backrest seat for the Bonnie. Might be worth asking.
@@jeffmorris9236 no prob man, you could try a make shift like I did in this video: ua-cam.com/video/nM3vpeZhi3Y/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MotoDrang
It was for the rider seat but a similar method could work for the pillion. I picked mine up second hand for cheap.
Très belle moto le son est envoûtent
PAT BARILLA oui et merci d'avoir regardé.
Is the 2019 street twin that much different than the 2018 model? Wanting to know as I am planning to purchase one in late spring.
AB3PO I’d say depends on the deal :) if you could get an older model for much cheaper, I’d do that. If the cost was close, go 19; better suspension and more power 👍🏻. Old is good and new is good, All feel responsive.
yes, i bought a 2018 this year and have already sank another 1000 in performance upgrades. Take the extra HP you will be happy that you did and still have your bike under warranty unlike me
Pumpkin spice latte. Just wondering if you would elaborate on your $1000 on upgrades? If you want. I’m already planning on spending some money on upgrades in the future after I get some ride time in. So not really worried about warranty or cost. Just having fun.😎🎸🏍
@@ABJG1 Cam shaft by TEC, high airflow KN filter, took out the catalytic converter. flashed the ECU, put on better slip ons. While im now getting 68 hp and a higher RPM torque band; that's only a 3 HP gain over the stock 2019 model. However at Peak RPM on my now modded 2018 twin I am now getting 30HP gains at Peak RPM compared to my 2018 stock bike! I am not sure what the HP is on a 2019 stock twin at Peak RPM to compare it to my mods. If you decide to go my route the camshaft and catalytic removal really made the bike run great on the expressway.
However you see this list of BS is already getting long haha. Honestly if you have the money buy the Speed Twin. You wont be like me kicking myself that I was frugal. After a month I wanted to sell my 2018 twin for the speed version.
My only concern is that I've read on multiple forums stating the the first service of these bikes are super expensive. Thoughts anyone?
In my experience every bike I have ( except my Hayabusa) is expensive to own. Nothing more than my Kawasaki zx-14 though. My triumphs are in the middle, as far as shop rates go they are lower than most in town. That said, I absolutely adhere to my maintenance schedule for Triumphs ( still don't know about the English reliability after growing up around Jaguars) so I spend more to upkeep my Tiger and Trophy SE. Really these are cheap compared to BMW, Ducati, Harley, and Aprillia, at least where I live. Tigers for example only have a maintenance every 10-12k miles with every 20k being a major so for me that's pretty good.
You said that you would explain the "rider" mode and the "road" mode, but I suppose that you were too mesmerized by this bike during this short test...
Apologies friend, I may have edited some more info on this out for time and forgot that that was about the modes, I will pin a note shortly describing each mode. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for a unique review. Although it is assembled in Thailand, but price in here are much higher than yours. / Chalee / Regards.
C.Wong.TH I have recently heard they were much more expensive there. That’s a bummer for sure. Thanks for the comment and I’m hoping to ride the speed twin really soon
Liked it / Thks
Thank you 😊
Heyy man does it have cruise control?
Deviprasad mallick not currently, hopefully they will add that :). Thanks for the question!
You could've sone a walk around too. Until the last minutes of the video, I hopes there would be one.
terraccan sorry about that I’ll keep that in mind in the future :)
Wondering how tall you are. I remember a review on a triumph where the guy said it was not comfortable for a tall rider. I am 5'11.
I'm 6'3" and it is a bit cramped for me. Depending on the length of ride. Perfectly comfortable for short jaunts but I wouldn't tour on it. Really, a thunderbird, tiger or R3 would fit well for a tour. Safe travels!
@@motodrang4287 Thanks for the reply! Ride Safe !
What’s that container thing on the right side of the handlebar?
Brake fluid :) Some bikes have the kinds that you can't see the fluid. Also, this bike doesn't have the reservoir on the left and right like some other models.
Moto Drang Thanks!
UTUB no prob 😊
Can you ride these bikes for a 300 miles trip ? Say L.A. to Vegas...
Yes, but... if you're a tall rider you'll want to take brakes about every 100 miles. The real challenge of that ride ( taken that route many times) is the fast traffic. I'd prefer the speed twin for those times when cars are averaging 90 mph. and definitely a small windscreen add on. That street twin would do 90 but that's almost maxing it out.
Looking to trade my rebel 300 for this soon
You’ll love the extra displacement! 😎
Want to know a little more? TEC Bike parts> How to de-restrict 900cc Triumph Street Twin/Cup/Scrambler/T100 for lots more power......
I've heard you can really makem scream :)
That was for the pre-2019 models, but it may still work.
This bike or Guzzi v7 III for beginner rider?
both are good bikes. For me I'd have to say the Triumph as parts and services are cheaper and easier to acquire. At least in my location. That street twin has to be one of the easiest bikes to ride I've ever been on, the guzzi is one of the more visually stunning machines.
I had the same dillema. Went with the street twin. Main reasons were water cooling, a tat more power, a lot more torque, and the fact that you dont need to warm up the triumph for a few minutes before taking off (which is fine for weekend riding, but if you run loads of errands, warming it up and standing next to it everytime gets kind of old)
That said, and eventhough I love my street twin, the guzzi is just absolutely gorgeous
Emission legal for California?
David Parker oh yeah, this has all the Euro 4 compliance, if it has that you’re good to go. They are more strict :). I don’t know about modifying exhausts though.
I want this bike in india 300cc and price 1 lakh 80 thousand. Sir royal enfield doing great business in india. Jawa also great achievement in this year. Why not triumph.
I'm not sure Triumph are cheaper than Italian bikes... Ducati scrambler and Moto Guzzi VII are both cheaper than Triumph's street twin.
Actually I would say that Triumph is rather expensive also considering they are built in Thailand.
C.G.C Wasn’t too clear in the statement but cheaper long term ownership in US. Factoring maintenance and all.but hey I love Ducati’s also ✌️
@@motodrang4287 it's not about loving Ducati since I do not really care about it but you are being political about it on your review without giving the correct information.
Triumph builds its motorcycles in Thailand at less of a quarter of the price they would normally pay in the uk but they keep its retail prices high.
The sound is incredidable in the video
Biker Brian thanks buddy!
Is this better than a Street Cup ?
Just comes down to taste, you get the same engine on the cup but it has a bullet fairing. If you like a little sportier look than the street cup is the bike, if you like a classic look than the street twin :)
I put a sport fairing on my twin. Love it!
Larry Norsworthy would love to see a pic of it if you don’t mind. My email is motodrang@gmail.com . Love to see others work! Thanks for the comment .
I worry about the wiring harness, it was a big problem on the last model.
sandydenny lives interesting, how so? Will look into it.
@@motodrang4287 One guy was thrown off his bike at 60 mph and there were numerous complaints and nearly a re call. Vid from india as well as the ride by wire operated at 30%. Thialand is not noted for it's engineering prowess.
sandydenny lives oof! Thanks for that info, I’m going to do some more research with the mechanics on this.
Moto Drang
The harness problem has been taken care of. They even had a recall. The Street Scrambler also suffered from this but it was only for the very first series. I happened to have one of the first Scramblers and the only problem was the blinking of the oil light while turning the handlebars to the right. (This is just so you understand what were the effects). Problem has been taken care of and I ended up with the same awesome bike I’ve loved since hopping on for the first time. 14.000 miles later, it’s still incredible!
Florin Nitulescu thank you, I hadn’t found any new info on this and figured triumph would quickly fix that.
Sounds like a beginner friendly bike for a smaller lad/lady/everyone else of around 5'3" with 27" inseam.
Rising Cookie absolutely! You nailed it, pretty forgiving bike all around
@@motodrang4287 Thanks for informative review. Cheers.
Rising Cookie. I am 5'3" with 27" inseam and the Street Twin suits me perfectly, also because we are small people, there is plenty of room for the wife.
What about rev matching?
no to drinking and riding, otherwise good review
Ray14508 always good advice!
Moto Drang
Back in the 90s I was working at Trial Defense Service on Fort Ord, California... we had a client that had been driving drunk on his motorcycle, he went out and did it again while his court case was going still on base.... going through the tunnel in Monterey he hit the curb coming out heading south..... 14 hours of operations later, they had removed 1/3 of his pelvis, half of his femur, lots of segments of intestines and other parts people like to keep, including a couple hanging internals that men like to keep.... they still had several operations they needed to perform.....
Drunk driving on a motorcycle is the most retarded thing someone can do, not everyone dies of it, and dying of it is the better option in many cases.
The brake fluid reservoir is ugly though
No one mentions the elephant in the room ,Triumph wiring harnesses big problems .
Michael Evans I’ll look more into it, never had any issues myself but I’ve only owned tigers and a trophy
@@motodrang4287 Sixty eight thousand units effected so far according to M.C.N. including a friends Tiger under the tank .
Michael Evans thanks for the info , I’ll keep an eye out for recalls or issues 🙏
Nice bike , but you did not explain nothing for the bike.
Rider modes is completely useless to me. Better to have cruise control.
Please stop talking with your hands while you are riding. Your left hand keeps coming right up in front of the camera.
bobthbldr3 I’m working on that, bad habit. Thanks for the feedback :)
Please don't be offended, but I turned the sound off at around 4:06. You were just TOO effusive in your praise. Sorry. It's a shame as I'm sure you had lots of valid comments to make. And a second point: which is that this review suffers from the 'Tall Dude reviews a bike designed for shorter people' syndrome. Comments such as 'It's like a Mountain Bike' are not helpful to the shorter rider. Again, I'm not trolling you, so I'd be grateful if you didn't flame me. I'm just giving some honest and from the heart feedback. Ride safe dude.
no worries friend, I'm pretty new at this and try and utilize all feedback. I'll keep your critique in mind in the future. It's tough because about half of my questions I get are how friendly bikes are for their rider height so I'll have to figure out a way to convey that better. Thanks for watching.
Most reviewers can learn from autogefuhl Thomas who always mentions his height. For motorcycle reviews an honest "I am x feet y inches and wear a xx by yy pant size and weigh xxx lbs" would take a scant few moments and give a reference. Especially if you did a cycle ergo style shot from the side.
Biased...
Nspinicelli thanks for the feedback, always trying to make the content better and I’ll keep that in mind. I do like triumph after all so I’ll have to keep more conscious :)
I am biased too. I have adored Triumph motorcycles since Gary Nixon won the AMA championship on a Triumph when I was 16. Now, in the summer of 2020, you can pick up an old stock / new bike 2019 Street Twin for less than $8,000 USD. The power is up a bit, now with cartridge forks and the brakes have been improved. All I would change then is a set of gas shocks at the rear, a tail tidy, a small windshield up front, install bar end mirrors, paint the headlight brackets flat black and paint the side panels to match the gas tank. Okay, I'm done.
leaving those indicators on like an absolute dingus. gave up watching after that
