Not my saying. “When you park your bike, while walking away, if you don’t look back. You bought the wrong bike” 👍🏼
Its getting old though!
p😊
Just bought a 2018. What a bike. It's bike porn, i've never felt so close to bike. I sat on my old 1050 sport, I slip into the 765RS. great review.
The 2018 is an amazing bike!
I test rode one of these for the shop I go to to do a bit of advertising for them. I have the 865 Thruxton, not exactly a sport bike. And frankly, I never rode a sport bike until I test rode the 765. Boy did I fall in love with that bike. It's a quality bike for sure. Nimble, responsive, quick, sounds good, feels good, is good. I was most impressed with the braking. Going from a single disc to a dual disc was a revelation. Quality, catchy, and quite a funny review! Much enjoyed! Cheers!✌️
Oh those brembos are bloody responsive! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Nicely put together. I've got 745miles on my RS and honestly, I'm in love. I agree the start up process does seem a tad long, but you know, there is so much tech on this bike, it's probably half the reason why. Hey, you never know, Triumph may give us a firmware upgrade soon and quicken the process. Jesus, that is odd to say. :)
Whilst I'm on positives, that triple soundtrack when you give it some beans is just the best sound. I can't get enough of it. Quiet-ish on idle, but you can't have everything. I don't want to pay 6-700 for a new pipe, I'd rather spend that money elsewhere.
I'm not overly happy about the clutch lever. I find it closer to the firm side to keep pressed in at times. I demo'd the CB and CBR650R before I purchased the RS and those levers really spoilt me, sooo light. Bar end mirrors are unhelpful for me too, I have to be careful getting out the garage between our car and the bins!!!!! Such as bar end mirrors though hey, they look great and don't give you a picture of your arms when riding. I bought white too, black didn't show the detail for me, but still, the bike is an absolute stunner.
I couldnt have put it any better myself! Glad you love the bike!
I've had an RS for just over a year now. I got the gloss metallic black one which I still prefer having seen the more recent colour schemes. I weigh 11 stone and I found the default suspension settings too firm. I watched a video by a guy called Tony Moss who looked at this bike and gave some recommended settings for it - I followed his advice and now it is still firm but not, as you say, a "bucking bronco" so I'm really happy with that. It's a really easy job to change the settings by the way - Ohlins make it quite easy. I've not experienced any issues with the quickshifter and neutrals although, in my opinion, it's not the best quickshifter out there so I tend to to just feather the clutch going up unless I'm going mental. I've put a tail-tidy, radiator guard and passenger footrest blanking plates on it (Evotech) but haven't bothered with a pipe. I don't like really noisy bikes and the Trumpet already sounds good enough without upsetting all the neighbours.
Dave Moss
Michael Purington thanks for the correction - I knew it “sounded” wrong as I typed it!😊
Hi Rick, thanks for the info, interesting stuff re suspension and Dave Moss, I shall look into it definitely! I currently have an R&G rad guard, tail tidy, an array of bobbins and sliders, I have an exhaust on the way, I'm hoping it's noisy. My neighbours are awful so I'm not too bothered about them 😂
UsernameKate Motovlogs Ha! I like mine 😊 Good luck with the pipe - I hope any remap won’t upset the fuelling as that’s one of the great things about It IMHO...
Hi Kate, I have taken all the preload out of the front forks, turned fully clockwise until it won’t go any more, and set the compression and rebound to the soft setting listed in the book. On the rear I have adjusted the preload so only 3 of the threads are showing counting from the top, and I have the compression on 27 clicks, and the rebound on 16 clicks, anticlockwise. I weigh 68kg and on those settings it is a lot better, not getting bucked off in those lumpy corners.
Have a play with your suspension or there are professionals that can set it up for your weight. If you go to a professional, ensure you test ride the bike before you leave, and request a soft setting for the road. I have put 3500 on my RS, brand new March 2019, I was so annoyed with the suspension I seriously considered getting rid, however, after playing about myself with the suspension, I am 90% happier.
Good luck!,
Wow 90% happier is massive, I will certainly take your comment on board and be a bit more extreme with my settings 👍🏻
pro set up to your weight is always the way to go, the suspension is brilliant then
Listening to this english girl's voice with the view of the bike and the road just very satisfying...
My wife rides the previous model 675, done 19,000 miles over 3 years on it. They are great bikes, think getting your feet down easily at stops adds lots to confidence in riding.
Wow, what a bad ass! Racking up those miles 😍
@@UsernameKate Ha ha, I will tell her she's a bad ass!
Hi Kate, new Sub from California. Female rider and bought the RS a few moths ago. Love this bike. 💚. It goes nicely with my BMWS1000R. Best of both worlds. Fun, light, fast and I love the display. I swapped the exhaust for a Yoshi Alpha and it sounds good.
Hi 👋 thank you so much! Wow, I bet you love the BMW 😍 such a stunning bike too. I have a key GSXR 750 for track so also best of both worlds... 🌍 oooh! I thought about the Yoshi Alpha, but opted for something different, but no doubt it sounds S.E.X.U.A.L 🤤
So UA-cam suggested this video today and this is definitely not the first time I am watching this particular video. In fact this video was probably one of my first interactions with this channel. At the time my thoughts were ‘ Woah! She’s one cool true blue motorcycle enthusiast with a lovely accent ’. 😂
Been subscribed since. Nice seeing the channel and herself grow as a person.
Thanks V!!!! I recognise your name on here, I appreciate all your comments on the channel 😊
I use to ride a Daytona 675R and ive nothing but good things to say about Triumph. Glad you’re enjoying your new bike ride safe 👍🏻Adam 🏴
Honestly Adam, absolutely loving it 😊
UsernameKate Motovlogs that’s brilliant you know for sure you have made the right choice of bike then 👍🏻
Yup...got the same on my Speed RS, the suspension can be a bit harsh for a bumpy road. The firing up thing seems to be since the Daytona 675 inception. The Speed RS got a quickstart which allows starting before the dash is fully up.
Hi Kate, I enjoyed this quickie review as you covered a lot of ground from a pros perspective, and I always enjoy the ride.
You seemed to have overlooked the major issue where the speedo fogs up at speed lol
I have reported it to triumph 😉
Great bike. I bought the R version as I found it pulls better low down which I thought was more useful for my road riding than the bit extra the RS had up top at about 11,000rpm. I didn’t notice the suspension being much different between them to be honest. They are both set up for sporting riding out the box. I just added the quickshifter and heated grips. No issues starting the bike. Fires up immediately every time. I never use kill switch though. But the Street in all forms is a great bike I think. Best engine for me.
Yea! I believe the peak power kicks off at lower rpm on the R. I do love a torquey bike. I figured that if you never have the kill switch off and you use the key to switch the bike off, it fires up quickly no issue. Heated grips? Man I'm jealous, I probably should have got those... I'm always cold LOL
I put 12,000 miles on my 2018 triple an i love it. The only thing that has gone wrong with the bike is the gas tank meter broke which is covered of course. I ride hard so not bad. It chews through back tires.
6.07 😆 love it.
Great choice in my opinion. Love love love my RS. Traded my 14' Speed Triple in for it. Amazing bike. Only complaint is the shit DOT turn signals they make Triumph put on for the US bikes. Getting some LEDs shipped from the UK to go on with a tail tidy. $200 but it's worth it.
Omg I wondered why I had seen RSs with those big ass indicators! Haha now all is clear 😂 I feel sorry for you guys!
@@UsernameKate They're so awful looking. Its really silly. I've already got a tail tidy, just waiting for the signals to come in on the slow boat from the U.K.
@@MrBlurgon sorry, our boats are notoriously slow 😂
Hi Kate, thanks for that it was very good and to hear what you had to say and to hear what you found out thanks and it's good to no and to keep in mind and look forward to more about the triumph Paul
Suspension set for you is money well spent. The bike will be on another level, stock configurations are a thing of averages after all.
Hi Kate, I realise this is an old vid but interesting to see you cruising around Leyland and Preston. I've just switched from the 2013 675 R to a 2017 speed. So good! Get yourself to TW suspension in Ingol, North Preston for a suspension setup. Best £45 I ever spent. Totally transformed my 675 into an absolute weapon.
Good choice Kate. You have to be comfortable on your bike. I owned a Street RS for 18 months and loved it.
I am proper happy with my choice for sure!
Nice bike and thanks for posting. My Street R has a rather hard suspension setting which I've yet to adjust having barely run in as yet. However imho generally bikes are set too hard (for lighter riders) on the preload. I weight between 11 and twelve stone btw depending how greedy I'm being lol.
Don’t fret about the quick shift, my old 80s Guzzi Le Mans did that with the clutch. No quick shifting on those. You just have to get used to it. Looks like small beer on that bike. Great review.
Thank you so much! And yes, I just use my clutch more in the lower gears, no biggie :)
New subscriber here. Gotta say I'm loving your reviews of all the bikes you've ridden. It's a breath of fresh air to see someone like you get away from some of the technical guff and just say what you feel about the bike. Keep the reviews coming. Stay safe. Regards from sunny Melbourne.
That really means a lot Craig! Thank you!!
Agree :)
Gave up bikes 5 years ago, makes me want to get back on again
Hi Kevin I fought the urge for years and my mate threw me the keys to his Harley forty eight for the summer 😎 got me back in the groove I am 61 and now own 929 fireblade one previous lady owner it’s incredible just love it 🤙 take your time some great bikes out there good luck 👍
@@charlieb3497 Iv'e not had a bike for a few years now and I also keep fighting the urge. Just turned 60 and thought I'd left it too late but I see you're 61. Versys 650 or Tiger 800 do look tempting !!
Awesome I've got the same triumph street triple rs and I'm with you about starting the bike and the quick shifter done the same thing as you. Today going to my dealer for the recall on the front brakes great vlog take care ride safe TTFN
Hey Kate.. suspension setup is the most under rated mod you can do. You certainly will need new springs on at least the fork or the shocks, maybe both. Get it done and you won't look back!
Glad you're enjoying it.
FYI, subbed after your podcast with TeapotOne
I'd have to disagree, get your suspension properly set up to your weight etc and no issues what so ever.
@@bizzmotovlogs6 thats exactly what I am saying 👍
@@BlackFlag94 thought you meant getting it re springed. Sorry bro.
A few years back when I rode a Sprint I was lent a Street Triple for the day, what a bike. I now ride a GSA but I’d have one of these in the garage any time. Regarding suspension, it’s your light weight, eat more or see a suspension specialist.😜 PS. The false gears is common with new Triumphs, drop the position of your gear lever a few notches on the splines.
Having ridden the 950 hypermotard and the Street triple 765, I really do think you made the right choice. For me, better looking and a much better, more comfortable ride. :)
1:43 ride that and also😲oh ok not what I thought
I have a 2018 RS, also love it, but I have hit the starter before the screen has fully run through it's startup. The bike will start even though the screen isn't done. Just an FYI.
I've solved it. Switching off by the key and not the kill switch completely sorts it. Thanks for your method too 👍🏻
"Aw, do you want a race? That's cute" 😂
😇😇😇
UsernameKate Motovlogs really good review. I’ve had mine just over a year and enjoy it more all the time. Spot on about the revs needed to pull away, can make you look a bit of a dick but only for seconds cos then they’re just a spec in the distance 😉looking forward to the nav upgrade to the TFT this year....
Vacuum cleaner perspective ;)
Hello Kate watched you on Teapotone's Podcast so thought I'd take a look in and ended up subscribing, just love the accent and good videos
Glad you mention the starting issue. Thought i had a problem on my Rocket. Just starts when its ready and im slow. Must be the way the electrics are desighned, Always starts though. Nice log, You very good at it and have a good way of putting things over.
Is it a new rocket?
@@stevethwaites3497 No 2016 model. But only takes a couple of attempts. No idea of the new one
Came across your Chanel and subbed, have the 2018 1050 Speed RS, so love my triples, the Speed has a slow start up to but have no key to use it has a quick start function but still takes a few seconds, have to get around to setting the suspension at some point to, need new tyres as well have Diablo Rosso corsa ll on the Daytona there great for road and track. Great choice of bike welcome to the triumph family 👍🏻
I really need to test ride a Triumph :)
Oh yea! Forgot they are keyless! Thank you! Glad to be in the Triumph famalam 🤙
Nice overview of the bike Kate, I went with the Street Triple 765R [LRH] coz I'm a stumpy hahaha, love the engine and ride. I recently fitted rearsets to mine from the Daytona 675 and it has made a huge difference to my comfort when hard cornering! :-)
Ooooh, that's good to know! Glad you're loving yours. I feel you though, the RS is a bloody tall thing, and I have long-ish limbs 😅
Lovely bike kate🏍, I've got mt09 an I love it ... can't wait for better weather lol...
Triples are superb, the Triumph is no exception.
Agreed 😊
Ordered mine today, swopped my monster 821 also the rs now comes with a arrow exhaust at the moment so that’s a bonus . P.s great channel
Darcy Gjerstad
I have had mine for a month. I had the 2012 Street . This new one is the best bike I ever ridden. Power, handling, looks etc...you wont be disappointed. Cook it up to 8000 rpm and hold on, it will go like a mad weasel.
Amazing! Winner having the exhaust thrown in!!!
A mad weasel! I'm gonna have to use that one!
It's great to hear views from a female rider, l have this bike. However I find it very heavy. I rode a Yamaha TW125 for 20+ plus years. I've gotten used to the weight a bit, but still find it heavy after 1.5yrs.
NO WAY! My first 125 was a TW 11 years ago 😱 tiny tank and chunky rear tyre! I dont find it too heavy for me but everyone is different and it's what you're used to! I've ridden my dads BMW R1150 so the street feels light in comparison 😊
@@UsernameKate Wow, what a coincidence, we had 2 of the same bikes. I imagine riding a BMW R 1150 must be pretty heavy in comparison to the RS. You're more experienced than me with the heavy weight bikes. I take my hat off to you, you're riding skills are very impressive 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
@@kimmixerxs you know, that's just brightened my day. Take care and ride safe my friend!
@@UsernameKate Thank you, you too my friend, my sister's name is Kate 🥳
Nice review,used to own 2017 speed r, when i sold it, really miss it,can see myself with one of these in future 👍😊ride safe
Agree, the bike is superb, false neutrals between 1-2 sometimes this is true, suspension hard but responsive and great only downside for me in 9700km a valve plate shattered went in to the cylinder, broke the piston and wrecked the engine. Bike is still in warranty so hopefully it will by sorted well
Holy shit! Keep us posted 😬
@@UsernameKate yep, bit of a bummer 😭
Lovely bike! I have a Daytona 675r but Im thinking of getting one of these as well
Also my understanding is the bikes from factory are set for an average male 12-13 stone weight. So you can soften it up a bit for your weight.
That's what I aim to do defo 👌 cheers! 😊
Lovely bike i test rode this and the 790 ended up preferring 790 but the world would be boring if we all liked the same thing😀
790 sounds awesome with Austin Racing can if i changed for anything would probably be Bmw R Nine T
See I rode the 790 when it first came out, like I think I was on one of the first demos to land in the country. I just think it needed a little longer in the oven being a new model. I'm glad you love it though! As long as you love it, that's all that matters 😊👍🏻
Love the vlog lady, and you can ride too, you know how addictive that triple sound is? And I agree with everything you brought up, although I can't remember you bringing up that front brake? How good it is! But I'll forgive you 😉😁😎 great job well done, I have to be careful watching your vids though, my girlfriend got so jealous last night, when I came across your video 😆😆😆😆
The sound is insaneeeeee, just the induction noise alone. That front brake is mega, if not a little squeaky lol
Look in the Owners manual and set it to "Comfort" setting.
Got to admit, triples sound amazing. Nice!
They do have a distinctive sound. It's not my favourite, but I can appreciate it ✊
May I say I love your video I only wish I could ride as professionally as you! I am due to hire one of these soon
so wanted to see some video footage of what people think about the bike so far mostly all good. My only
concern is that it will be too fast for my level of experience. thanking you ride safe Roger
Thanks Roger!!
Ayup Kate, great review but regards the quickshifter I've never had an issue with both mine on my old 675 and Mr 765rs...id check it's set up right cuz both mine been silky smooth! Also if you have the pennies get summat like a racefit can fitted... Omg it transforms the bike, mine sounds pure evil with one fitted! Anyow nice one, ride er safe lass... Bizz
Re quick shifter - when I took the RS out for a test ride (& subsequently purchase one) the dealer told me it should only be used from 2nd gear up - adopting this advice never had a problem
I only use it from 2nd gear up. It's good advice 👍
I’m SO torn! I think I need something smaller these days than my current Beemer (F800GS) but still like my tall screen for the cold. Even though I’m now in Australia we get really cold winters and I work shifts that require 17 layers of thermals. Can’t decide if I still want some wind protection. My wife’s from Hinckley so Triumph is definitely calling one way or another 😎👍🏼 top vid btw
Argh what a dilemma lol admittedly it doesn't have the best wind protection being a naked 😬 I wonder what aftermarket screens are available 🤔 might be worth a look! Cheers!
@@UsernameKate nah - if I go the Street Triple - it's all or nothing, no tall screen. I'll just have to wrap up. I used to sell Triumph bikes and the original Speed Triple 900 was pretty much my 'go to' of the demo fleet I rode all the time so I just need to revisit my youth and wrap up warm LOL. Will let you know how I go! Keep showing us the bike - subd :-D
Kate telling me to "get the tissues ready"...🤣
Hi Kate, fellow white '19 RS owner (and Lancastrian) here! Just put 1000 miles on mine, my first bike. Bloody love it! I also get neutral a fair amount, but I take it as a nice quirk as the rest of the bike is superb :) keep up the good work. Oh, do you get brake squeal?
Haha yes! They all do it so don't worry but it is very loud! Glad you love it!
Nice review UK and loving the exhaust sound. I have the same issue on my Ducati Supersport S between 5-6 you have to give it a decent whack otherwise you’ll hit neutral at high revs, it sure wakes you up. Btw did you ever consider the a Duk Supersport ?
Love the Street Triple, you might like to check out a quick review I did on the T100 Bonnie
I like that Concept of this bike. It seems, makes you Go faster as it be Save.
As far as the false neutral you’re experiencing I have the 2018 STRS and I’ve never gone into a false neutral not once. I however have ridden my buddies Monster 821 and it went into false neutrals left and right to the point I didn’t want to ride it anymore.
Hi Kate, you are more than welcome to try out MV Agusta Brutale RC to compare it against your Triumph
Crikey that's quite an offer, but I dont know how I feel about being trusted with your pride and joy 😬
I love this bike i'm big fan
Me too, it's a cracking bike.
Kate i like your ride and style
I'm opposite! i bought the 790 duke, it sits nicely next to my 1290 & 390 dukes.
Ahhh, nice sounding collection right there!
I agree with the annoyance of the four second wait between turning the key and starting the engine. I mean what if you're John Wick or someone who gets chased by baddies every day?
Exactly, I'd be dead before it even starts 🤦♀️
You can start the engine before the dash lights up you just have to wait for the immobiliser. I assume if you get rid of that it would be faster.
@@sacredgeometry I wouldn't want to get rid of it. I just mean for normal situations, when you're about to set off and havent give it much thought. I know it's only a small thing but it just annoys me so much 😂
@@UsernameKate The first thing I do is put the key in and turn the ignition, before I have put my helmet or gloves on. By the time thats happened its ready to go. Maybe swap up your process :)
@@sacredgeometry that requires conscious thought, decisions and forward planning, you mustn't know me haha 👍🏻
Excellent vid couldn't agree more got to be positive when going up gear box love the sound bitchen bike ive got 1050 rs loven it be l👀king out for youre videos

Why, are you a giant? 😂 and thank you! 🙊
@@UsernameKate No, just a normally proportioned male. I hate feeling cramped in my legs. I have a V Strom but long for something that doesn't look hideous. Yammie XSR might be next stop. Cheers
@@benjamincs1 ooooh those XSRs look 👌👌👌 nice retro, quirky look.
I can tell by your lovely accent that you must be from Japan. LOL. Nice review.
Haha thank you!
Just stumbled on your video, I'm curious about your mic/helmet setup because this might be the clearest narration I've ever heard on a motovlog.
Hey thanks! I use a Go Pro 3+ (you can use any with an external mic port) and a purple panda mic that cost £10 on Amazon (though I think they've gone up in price now) 👍
Can i bother you with a further question as i was thinking the exactly the same thing as Maxi. Where do you have the camera mounted, chin or chest as it look a lower (and nicer) view of the road than some.
@@twowheeleddaydreams4291 chest mount :)
Had the 2017 RS. Damn I miss this bike so so so much.
😫 what do you have now?
UsernameKate Motovlogs I have now an XSR900, good bike but not as good as the STR765RS.
Why have you sold it?
Great bike! Enjoyed the video. New sub from Aust.
Thanks so much!!
Loved the podcast with teapotone, nice vid
Thank you!! 😊
Great video fantastic bike 👍
Thanks Richard 😊
On an ‘11 675 Speed Triple.
My main complaint on the 2011 is later models have a gas gauge. I kinda want one. X-/
Thinking of moving to a 2016 ST 1050...
Oooooh, a Speed Trip! You'll love it i'm sure! Yea, i bet that's annoying not having a fuel gauge!
That's a great accent.
Had my street triple RS for over 2 years now and being a lightweight at around 65Kg I found the supension was stiff compared to my old Yamaha MT09.
The RS suspension is fully adjustable and the manual has instructions for adjusting the suspension for race normal and soft. The other thing I found was that the stock Pirelli Corsa tyres have a very stiff carcase which is why you are getting thrown about when banked over on bumpy corners. So the other thing I did was replace them with Metzler roadtech 01 sports touring tyres.
If this does not soften up the ride you could adjust the pre-load settings but specialist tools are required so you may want to take it to a shop and get them to do that.
Thank you for the advice. I think I'll get it set up for sure 👍🏻
Hi i have the same bike with a SC project fitted sounds awesome, rode to Jerez for the moto GP on it just wish they did a comfort seat.
See i find the seat super comfy! haha but I guess Jerez isn't down the road LOL. The SC Projects sound filthyyyy. Love it.
Do you shut off the bike with the kill switch? That could be why its not quick to start sometimes. I used to experience that issue with my yamaha R6. Then I noticed if I shut it off with the key instead, the issue went away. Something to try anyways...
I switch it off both ways. I'll consciously try both and let you know if it's any different. It isn't too big of an issue, it's just something that never happened on any previous bike and just makes me think why? Lol
I have a Tiger 800 and I've ridden a Street Triple, it seems to be a Triumph thing where the electronics take a while to boot up and prime the fuel pump.
Triumph stripe RS is fully electronic. The key and the kill switch are both wired to the same potted circuit board so the old argument of key/kill switch is kind of irrelevant these days.
Glad your enjoying your bike :)
Love the colour :)
Thanks 😊
Good overview of the 765 Kate.. loving my old 675 RX, I've also had the false neutral issue with the quickshifter.. what.a.penis. Anyway try getting yours to TW Suspension and see how you go!
I think that's the way to go, see what guys at TW suspension say! 😊 glad you love yours Shaun!
At 57kg you are pretty light. You may need to get the static sag looked at , probably need to get lighter springs
I reckon so! Cheers
I wouldn't know how to chose between this and the 790 to be honest. If I had the funds, I'd probably have both. Looking at getting a 390 for now though. Enjoy this absolutely fantastic bike that you have. Would you consider a slip on for it? I quite like the sounds of the SC project for this bike. Here in India, we are nutters for inline 4 bikes, but, personally, I feel that small singles, middle weight twins and triples are where the best fun for road biking can be had.
Regarding the suspension, what is the setting you are on? Have you considered dialling it into the softest setting? If I do decide to jump one segment higher, then this is something that I would look at very carefully between the KTM and Triumph. That is why I ask.
The choice was easy for me. The reason I didnt get the 790nwas because I jumped on it, expecting to love it more than my 690 Duke, and I just didnt. It wasn't what I wanted. I needed it to blow me away and it didnt. So I turned my attention to other middle weights and this won. I have an exhaust on the way, all will be revealed soon :) Also, with regards to suspension, i thought some small adjustments would be enough, it isn't. I will put it on the softest settings and see how I get on! 👍🏻
Good riding and lovely bike
Kate good review but over taking on solid white lines is a big NO NO come on sort it out be safe out there it only take a spilt second to get knocked off your bike.
The rules actually are you can overtake on them as long as you don't CROSS the line. Trust me, I might not be an angel on the road, but i don't cross solid lines.
Love your bike and review. 👍👍👍
Love the review, would you recommend as a first bike?
Kate, could you do a Helmet/cam and mic set up video? I get so much wind noise and it does my head in. haha
Awesome Review Thanks
I know this is really old but do you think you can put a short video of it starting?
Hi Kate, allow me one question: have you been doing longer trips like 200 miles (322 km) or a little more with it? Wondering how comfortable the seat would be for a tall guy. Found the stock seat on my duke 690 gets a little hard on a weekend trip. Would you say the triumph is more comfortable?
Nice ‘review’😁
Still love my 790 😬😆 though the triumph seat is probably more comfortable on a full days ride🥴
Need a vid of Donald getting spanked on some country corners 😆
👍🏍🧡
I need to get on some country roads ASAP 😫 💯
Hi Kate. Did you consider the Speed Triple before buying the Street? I've demo'd both and can't make my mind up which I prefer,
Street.....lighter and more flickable but with less torque; or Speed.....heavier but still very agile and with great gobs of torque and imo more road presence.
Hi Boy, I never test rode the Speed, I didnt need to. The Street suits my situation perfectly, cheaper to insure, cheaper to buy, lighter for me to push around my garage unaided and ample power for my needs. As much a it would be nice to have a quickshifter and autoblipper, and a sexual single sided swing arm, these are things I can live without ✌ Flip a coin to decide which one to go for, because your gut will know if it's the right choice for you and you'll either agree with the result, or change it 😂
@@UsernameKate Thanks for the detailed reply Kate. The coin flip experiment led to me deciding on the Speed.....or maybe the Superduke .......oh bloody 'ell :/
@@MrBoybergs Haha whole new can of worms lol 😂
