I had an akrapovich exhaust, which was anoying with saddle bag (upper position), i so i removed it. And now i'm just with the stock exhaust and the sound is really nice even without aftermarket exhaust ! Simply the best midle weight naked bike !

    Went on a 1300 mile road trip with my 18' Striple RS two weeks ago. AL, TN, NC, and N/GA. Mostly back roads and the occasional jaunt down the interstate. The bike is l weapon on the twistys but still is compliant enough to eat up miles. I bought the bike used from a private seller back in Aug of 20' with 1100 miles on the clock. The bike now has over 8,000 and has performed without any issues. It is way better bike than the rider :)

      @Erik Butler I believe Triumph is like Porsche of the 2 wheel world and Ducati is like Ferrari.. If Porsche comes out with a vehicle, it will be dripping with technology AND if its not standard, it will certainly be an option... If Triumph wants to be a premium manufacturer of bikes and are gonna charge good $$$ then add it as standard OR make CC an option. Its OK if the baby Trident is watered down but not Striple.

    I only recently bought my Street Triple RS and the only two problems I have with it are the buzzy mirrors (at anything over 80 kmph) and the small steering lock which can cause issues on roads that aren't very wide. I'll probably get the CRG Arrow bar-end mirrors some time soon to replace the stock mirrors as I've heard great things about them. I don't particularly have any issues with the missing Cruise Control and Heated grips. I got the latter fitted through the dealer and the former is a non-issue for me as the roads in my country aren't good enough for Cruise Control on bikes.

      Tip: put first two fingers top of brake, this rests palm on Cramp Buster in a natural relaxed state. u can relax that grip. SUBlime. I lov an therefore guarantee it from mine.

    This bike is in SUCH a beautiful sweet spot. Even i eye the speed triple and the tuono 1100 factory tbh but every time I get on my RS I just can't stop giggling, often thinking "if I was on the tuono, I'd probably be dead haha". And the weight is DEFINITELY amazing. On days when I'm tired and not at 100% it has saved me from making silly mistakes often. Love the RS. I do believe on your bike, the max gearing change you can do without throwing the TC nuts is going up 2 teeth in the rear. I highly recommend it. On my 2019, I went down 1 tooth in the front and the bike is RIOTOUS haha. Ah man. Triumph outdid themselves with this bike.

    This is a great review. One point of feedback: Talk about the maintenance and upkeep costs. I almost bought a Triumph Street Triple and then I saw that they need a valve service every 10K miles. And the local Triumph dealer wants nearly $1000 for that. That really turned me off. I'm still tempted as it does look like a really awesome bike. Also, basic services cost $200+? This isn't a cheap motorcycle long term from what I researched. I could be wrong. Happy to be wrong.

(not far from where you were riding actually)......triumph is beautiful bike had the bike been a better deal it would have been a toss up.....coming from a MX background i like a torquier motor vs screaming one out......either way cant go wrong its just different styles of riding......i will probably see you on the road at some point seeing how your riding in area i live so as long as you have fun all that matters

    The Street sound 100x better than the above with a slightly sporting feel. Great tool if you don't mind the pair of Bol*cks for head lights grafted on as an after thought ??

    Also I'm looking for a bike below a litre and above 300 ...

Plus my wife's monsters, Street fighter 848, street triple r 675, street triple RS 765, Diavel, etc...
      Of all of those, and they were all brilliant... Of the middleweights, the 2020 Street RS is the most capable on street and track. The agility and power is pretty much perfect. It's a scalpel on track.
      It also makes a lot more power than triumph claims. They say 123hp at the crank and that's bs. Most dyno 117-119hp at the wheel, stock.
      That puts the crank hp up in the 130's. Mine with a decat, slipon and tune makes 125hp at the wheel, and I have friends with full exhausts and tunes and they are hitting 130hp at the wheel.
      That's a significant step up from the Duke. The Duke of course has way more low down grunt, being a twin... And in some ways that will feel faster. But give them room to stretch their legs and the Street pulls ahead. .
      The brakes, are the difference in pads they ship with. The triumph has brembo M50 and the master is the same one that comes on the Ducati panigale R. It's a great setup...
