I’ve had one of these since January and love it. To pick up on a few things on the video, I’ve wound the suspension into comfort mode which helps a bit with no real downside for normal riding. I also ride with it permanently in road mode. On longer rides the only comfort issue I have is with my backside starting to go a bit numb, but I get that on most bikes. Overall this summer has been a lot of fun on it and I’m really happy with my choice
Hello, I have a question and hope you can answer, how long did the stock tires lasted? I ask this because I'm afraid of duration on sticky tires and was thinking that if I get to have this bike I would have to change them to road 6's for longevity.
Please, are those tyres OK for wet riding? I think they are designed for the track. (I just watch the video about this bike on the Triumpg website, and they mentioned that.)
Although this is the 2nd time I'm seeing the same review for the same bike .... this bike puts smile on my face. Enjoy your videos. Keep them coming 😁👍 BTW, Any plans on trying Goldwing next ? The Bagger looks so much nicer ....
Thank you! You said you were going to make this video when you replied me and here it is. Very entertaining, complete, enjoyable video, one of the best I watched on the ST. Mine should have been delivered tomorrow but it's been delayed, in the meantime I'll savour you ride. Stay safe!
Your video on CBR 650R made my decision to buy the bike in 2021... This time I think it's gonna be the Street Tripple RS... Love from India... Keep making great videos like this...
Hi Dan, another great vid on the street tripel rs . I have the 2018 street tripel rs and that is very good but does not have the auto bliper to change down which is a shame but all the same still is a brilliant bike and great ride has I have found since I have had mine and thanks again for vid and look forward to the next vid Paul
Dan, pity you waited till you got to the national before you opened it up. Plenty of clear road before the NSL. You could have given it a bit of throttle??? Love the videos though big man 👍
I have indeed gently subscribed the sub button sir 🤣 great vid bro. Love the way you describe it all. Makes me want to to the same somehow when I pass my A licence next year.
When I read that Triumph had improved the low and mid range on the RS I thought I might exchange my 2018 Street triple R for it but after riding the 2020 RS and R I found the R is still a much better road bike with firm but comfortable suspension and still better low and mid range, so I did change my bike but for the 2018 R with quickshifter/auto blipper.
Still loving my RS, enjoying it as much as possible 👍 Good review,Dan 🤙 PS: the fueltank can only hold 14 litres , it says 17 litres on every spec sheet but it just doesn’t 😏 I’m doing 200km with one tank...at 6,50 litres/100km, that makes only 13 litres actually (reserve 1 litre?) . Sadly ...
Same thing with my triple R, only 14l. I have tried to keep riding after the reserve light is on until the display indicates almost 0km left stopped for fuell. There was still a decent amount of fuell in it, could not get 17l in it. Now i know i don’t need to stop asap for fuell, i just watch the indicator for howmany km’s left.
@@jimmy_with_a_K i've seen people drive cars for 30 miles on 0 miles left - I've done almost that on a relatively brand new car. The fuel sensors, like all sensors go through sensor shift.
Would appreciate your impressions of the 890 Duke - a lot of reviewers seem to have flipped from favouring the Triumph STRS over the old 790 Duke to now preferring the 890. To my mind they are simply different , near-supermoto style vs near-sports.
KTM only has two bikes in the Supermoto range currently, (here anyway) the 450 SMR and 690 SMCR. The Duke range fall under their 'Naked Bike' category. Triumph call their naked bike 'Roadsters' but they both occupy the same market space and are battling each other for dominance. The 790 and Street Triple R felt similar in terms of chassis but the engine and power delivery is the where I felt they differ the most. I've not yet ridden the 890 and it might have to wait till next year now so I can get it for a couple of weeks. For me, KTM are a more raw experience, with the emphasis on fun but not quite as polished as the Street Triple. This also carries over to the aesthetics, KTM use more vivid colours and have interesting/angular designs where as Triumph are more sleek and slightly muted. One thing is for sure though, KTM are shaking the sector up. The Duke range are light, fun bikes and it's only a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
I owned the previous generation and am currenty thinking of getting this version as my fun bike. The only negative that I still see on this range of bikes is why the light cluster 'juts out' as you say. I can see no reason for this design and don't know anyone who think it looks OK.
Hi Dan great review. I took one out yesterday for an hour loved the ride love the brembo's and that quickshifter is very addictive. I currently have a 2008 675 in black and gold and in pristine condition and am rhinking of selling it to het one of these beauty's 😁😁😁
I’d like to see your review of a KTM 890r duke. Especially now that you’ve ridden both the speed triple RBS and mt09sp. Any chance we can see this anytime soon? Great content!
I was meant to have one a week or so ago but sadly my work commitments got in the way. So it's looking like next year at this point when the weather gets better.
Hello, EBD. Great review as usual. Great bike as well. One criticism and one question: - the mount for your handlebar gopro is substandard (understatement); the footage is, at times, way too shaky and I found myself listening to rather than looking at some footage - what is the brand/model of your lid? Cheers.
Awesome video! I’ve just turned 19 and looking at getting my A2 license but my problem is I don’t know where to store a bike. I live in a terraced house with no garage or driveway but do have a back garden. Any advice would be massively appreciated 👍🏼
In the metal it looks amazing. Mate of mine is getting one in 2 weeks. I love this bike, but after testing the tiger 900 on the same day I've committed to that instead
@@Englishbikerdan still as yet undecided on the rally pro or GT Pro, I've tested the GT Pro and loved it, but if the 19 inch front doesn't spoil the road handling I'd prefer the rally pro, for the wheels and the colourways
@@TheRtHonJimStiffOG Same thoughts here about the colours of the Rally Pro. That green and white looks really nice. The GT Pro was great to ride on the road but I can't quite get on with the looks. Something about the Rally Pro that just ticks boxes in my head. For some reason it's got that Halo Warthog vibe, it must be that green!
I hate the look of the bug eye lights on the earlier models too. I don't think this looks any better. The front light looks like an afer thought, actually looks like the whole thing will fall off if you go over a bump. Prefer the retro round light on the Honda
I think the last two have been that way from all accounts. Very track focused sports bike without fairings basically. Still, it's a lovely bike to ride even on the road.
I think you have you inseam length wrong. The Street Triple RS is 825mm as you said. However that equates to 32.4 inches. Since you flat-foot the bike, your inseam is more than 30 inches, which you state in your description. .... I am guessing you are going of your jeans fitting measurements, for 30 inches. Sorry if I got this wrong. Am really tired tonight. Just thought I'd mention it, as it's possibly useful to you.
Just discovered your amazing channel. Hoping to get my full bike license this year if Covid allows. What would you recommend for a good first bike? Not going 125cc route.
@@IIxMURPHYxII Cool! You can go down the A2 route and get a bike that has no more than 47 ponies. There's a few good ones to choose from, the Honda 500 range are all good starting points and the KTM 390 Duke is hilariously fun too. Or you can get a full power bike (not more than 94bhp stock) and restrict it down to 47bhp. The bonus of that is that once you pass the A1 license you can take of the restrictor and in some cases almost double the power. CB650R, MTT07, Triumph Trident or Street Triple S would be good options for that. There's almost too much choice these days!
@@IIxMURPHYxII Ah sweet. Did the same myself in 2004. The world is your oyster then really. CB650R, Aprilia Tuono 660 or the Triumph Trident would make good first big bikes. End of the day it's about what floats your boat and makes you smile!
Similar feel in terms of weight but handling is a little sharper on the Triumph but engine isn't quite as punchy low down but is definitely faster up top.
@@Englishbikerdan. Thanks Dan. I bought the 790 duke about 3 months ago and wondered how the street triple measured up. Despite the looks of the Duke dividing opinion, I don't like the headlights on the stripe personally. Loving the duke but glad to get your opinion on the stripe. Thanks.
That's supposed to be striple, both times!! Btw, the Duke was also a lot cheaper for a new one. I swapped in a 2018 Bmw r1200r and no regrets. 3000 miles in 3 months.
Hi Dan, which naked bike would you recommend for a new rider? I was thinking CB650 R but that's mainly because of the retro styling. Also, which part of the UK are you from / filming in. Thanks
There's so many options, all decent so it really depends what tickles your fancy. Duke 390, Honda 500's, Z400, SV650, Z650, CB650R and the new Triumph Trident are all good options.
Really torn between this or the Tiger 900 rally pro. I currently have both a naked and an adventure and love both styles. Not sure which one to upgrade
I literally am in the same place. So I'm borrowing the Rally Pro for a couple of weeks from the 27th. Hopefully I'll figure this out plus review that too. I'd love both!
@@Englishbikerdan Alright thanks a lot! I absolutely love my ZX-6R but here in Quebec the price we have to pay every year for the plates keeps going up and up, and it's 3x more expensive for supersports than any other type of motorcycle. If the trend keeps going I might have to look at middleweight roadsters such as these. Thanks a lot for the reply!
Exactly. The new trident is supposed to have a single round headlight. They should put that light on here as well, or bring the lights back closer to the handlebars
You need to do at least a few track days, o don’t expect or think you’re capable of racing however it will give you a better insight to the bikes and abilities... yours included. I like watching your reviews just the same. It’s just hearing someone who at least has that minimum experience does gain points when reviewing bikes. Just my humble thoughts. 👍😎
I consider that one ticked off already to be honest. Although technically not a trackday, tearing around the Nordschliefe in the pissing rain with a GT3RS sniffing your arse, is as hard as it can get. Having said that, I do fancy Brands at some point. As a reviewer I have over 20 years riding experience, riding almost every day in all weathers. I think that counts for something. Who knows what the future brings though! Thanks for watching. :)
@@Englishbikerdan yeah, no. Not really. I now have much more experience, inclusive of being paid to test several bikes to their limits around Phillip Island. Anyway, I always (especially when I was much younger) said years are just numbers. My mother, for example, has been driving for longer than I’ve been living! Guess what, she’s still a crap driver! Same story applies to two wheels...
@@marcusgeorge1825 If I use your argument about you riding lots of bikes around track (more bikes = more time) there's no reason that would make you any better. Doing loads of track days won't necessarily make you a better road rider. I know so many really fast track riders that are shocking on the road. My logic is, as a general rule more time spent doing something, makes you better at it. I think that's a fairly universally accepted thing. There's always exceptions to every rule though.
@@Englishbikerdan you are missing the single point and have actually supported what I’m trying to say. I’m not arguing with you as I’ve done countless more miles on the road than a track. I haven’t done a significant amount of track days, which I feel every level of rider will get better and safer as it’s in a controlled environment. 90% of my “track days” have actually been in proper races, where you need to first qualify to at the very least meet minimum requirements to actually competitively race! This experience along has made me a better and safer rider on the roads where you aren’t trying to win. Meaning you learn your limits, respect them and don’t go anywhere near them in the “real” world. Just riding around on the road can’t possibly equip anyone with the knowledge of each individuals limits. I like that you rode very conservatively, and I’m not saying you can’t go faster as everyone has limitations. All I’m saying is in a controlled environment you can safely push the boundaries, where you can’t on any road. Safely. I really do hope this makes sense, not only to yourself but to everyone else out there. Years of riding really don’t add up to much and after riding on the roads for 30 years I know I would only be 10% of what I’m capable of doing now with racing experience on a variety of machines, inclusive of factory backed ones as I know I can comfortably ride safer on the roads with countless races on countless tracks around the world.
@@marcusgeorge1825 I don't want to get anywhere near the limit of the bike or myself on the road. The road isn't the place for it. I know too many riders no longer with us who thought they were the dogs danglies. Now off road riding, that definitely helped me get better as a rider on the road. I used to ride very quickly on the road but it's a numbers game and eventually you'll run out of luck. Anyway, sorry I just don't agree that track days are better at improving your road riding than more experience on the road. Better yet, some advanced lessons on the road. But hey people won't always agree so, as my Nan used to say, you do you. Ride safe and cheers for the interesting debate. 👍
The 890 is a twin this is a triple 2 different bikes build to serve different purposes. On a mouse track the 890 has the edge on fast corners and fast tracks the triple has the edge. And while you may like punchy twin I prefer and engine that I cat rev it to moon and back, I need fun to be there for more than 9k rpm.
@@bogdanm7873 How is the MT-09 SP build quality not compared to the Triumph? if anything the components on the Yamaha will probably outlast the Triumph. You are talking about an almost $4000 difference in terms of pricing and They are both ugly bikes IMO.
@@andylam4350 i don't know where you live but in Romania ia around 1k euro difference on the price. Yamaha feels like a cheep bike when you touch it when you look on it, looks and feels to be build on a budget. And I agree with you, Yamaha is ugly 😅. Cheers
My wife is not into bikes but she loves listening to your commentary and how much you enjoy yourself. It definitely gives her a good laugh!!

Enjoyed it, Dan. Cheers.
Will you be checking out the new triumph trident meant to compete with the 650r and z650?
Yeah, I was on the press briefing with Triumph. It certainly looks like a big contender for the middleweight naked market.
I suggest more competition than mentioned. Z900, GSX-S750.
Still good bikes but at the softer/heavier end of the group.
Hi! Do you think it feels much quicker than your CB650R, or does it feel similar?
Definitely a bit quicker but it's not a night and day difference. The handling and braking are the major differences for me.
@@Englishbikerdan Alright thanks a lot! I absolutely love my ZX-6R but here in Quebec the price we have to pay every year for the plates keeps going up and up, and it's 3x more expensive for supersports than any other type of motorcycle. If the trend keeps going I might have to look at middleweight roadsters such as these. Thanks a lot for the reply!
Massage that subscribe button lol Ima call you InnuendoBikerDan haha
Is it worth upgrading to this bike if one already has the previous year's RS?
I'd say probably not right away. If I had the 2019 version I'd stay with that for a couple of years but that's just me.
Brilliant video
Gave you a like just for that opening edit
Well thank you for that! Glad you liked it. :D
I love this bike 😁😍
Does the street triple come with a pillion seat?
It sure does.
lovely channel!
Hi, you think it a good bike for a biginner? Thanks
no
From the handle bar forward it looks horrendous! The light needs to look like part of the bike not an addition..
Exactly. The new trident is supposed to have a single round headlight. They should put that light on here as well, or bring the lights back closer to the handlebars
Couldn't agree more👍
Isn‘t that what defines the character of a Street Triple? Just like the asymmetric headlights on the S1000RR
@@philippwalder4328 I think so, it's been like it since the model was first released. Love it or loathe it, it IS the Street Triple. :)
Is this bike beter than a 09 sp?
You need to do at least a few track days, o don’t expect or think you’re capable of racing however it will give you a better insight to the bikes and abilities... yours included. I like watching your reviews just the same. It’s just hearing someone who at least has that minimum experience does gain points when reviewing bikes. Just my humble thoughts. 👍😎
I consider that one ticked off already to be honest. Although technically not a trackday, tearing around the Nordschliefe in the pissing rain with a GT3RS sniffing your arse, is as hard as it can get. Having said that, I do fancy Brands at some point. As a reviewer I have over 20 years riding experience, riding almost every day in all weathers. I think that counts for something. Who knows what the future brings though! Thanks for watching. :)
@@Englishbikerdan yeah, no. Not really. I now have much more experience, inclusive of being paid to test several bikes to their limits around Phillip Island. Anyway, I always (especially when I was much younger) said years are just numbers. My mother, for example, has been driving for longer than I’ve been living! Guess what, she’s still a crap driver! Same story applies to two wheels...
@@marcusgeorge1825 If I use your argument about you riding lots of bikes around track (more bikes = more time) there's no reason that would make you any better. Doing loads of track days won't necessarily make you a better road rider. I know so many really fast track riders that are shocking on the road. My logic is, as a general rule more time spent doing something, makes you better at it. I think that's a fairly universally accepted thing. There's always exceptions to every rule though.
@@Englishbikerdan you are missing the single point and have actually supported what I’m trying to say. I’m not arguing with you as I’ve done countless more miles on the road than a track. I haven’t done a significant amount of track days, which I feel every level of rider will get better and safer as it’s in a controlled environment. 90% of my “track days” have actually been in proper races, where you need to first qualify to at the very least meet minimum requirements to actually competitively race! This experience along has made me a better and safer rider on the roads where you aren’t trying to win. Meaning you learn your limits, respect them and don’t go anywhere near them in the “real” world. Just riding around on the road can’t possibly equip anyone with the knowledge of each individuals limits. I like that you rode very conservatively, and I’m not saying you can’t go faster as everyone has limitations. All I’m saying is in a controlled environment you can safely push the boundaries, where you can’t on any road. Safely. I really do hope this makes sense, not only to yourself but to everyone else out there. Years of riding really don’t add up to much and after riding on the roads for 30 years I know I would only be 10% of what I’m capable of doing now with racing experience on a variety of machines, inclusive of factory backed ones as I know I can comfortably ride safer on the roads with countless races on countless tracks around the world.
@@marcusgeorge1825 I don't want to get anywhere near the limit of the bike or myself on the road. The road isn't the place for it. I know too many riders no longer with us who thought they were the dogs danglies. Now off road riding, that definitely helped me get better as a rider on the road. I used to ride very quickly on the road but it's a numbers game and eventually you'll run out of luck. Anyway, sorry I just don't agree that track days are better at improving your road riding than more experience on the road. Better yet, some advanced lessons on the road. But hey people won't always agree so, as my Nan used to say, you do you. Ride safe and cheers for the interesting debate. 👍
Does the seat height feel much higher than the cb650r?
It feels about the same but thinner, so easier to get my feet on the floor.
it so good~~~~~~~
It has a pillion seat btw you just got to unbolt the cowl
So the seat is under the cowl? You don't need to swap out the cowl for a seat like with some other bikes? Good to know!
@@Englishbikerdan yeah its under there mate
I’m afraid you do have to swap out the seat cowl for the pillion seat, it isn’t underneath on the Street Triple.
So this is not a beginner bike?
I wouldn't recommend it personally as a first big bike. Maybe look at the Street Triple S.
This one or cb650r ?
The new 890 Duke R and MT09 smokes this bike on low rev roll on tests this bike needs more revs to get going!
For sure, although it's better in every other way than the MT09 in my eyes. Not ridden the 890R yet but from all accounts it's pretty special.
@@Englishbikerdan supposed to be 99% perfection other than how it looks😫
The 890 is a twin this is a triple 2 different bikes build to serve different purposes. On a mouse track the 890 has the edge on fast corners and fast tracks the triple has the edge. And while you may like punchy twin I prefer and engine that I cat rev it to moon and back, I need fun to be there for more than 9k rpm.
@@bogdanm7873 MT09 best of both.
@@robertprosser6856 everything that makes you happy ☺️
And will it say good afternoon past 12?
It certainly does.
This is marvelous
So beautiful
They need to bring them lights in much closer to the forks! They look awful how they stick way out in front!😫👎
Looks like a praying mantis. Lol
3:55 :D
Still overpriced compared to the 2021 yamaha mt-09 SP.
2021 Yamaha is a great bike but still doesn't equal the triumph build quality and attention to details.
@@bogdanm7873 How is the MT-09 SP build quality not compared to the Triumph? if anything the components on the Yamaha will probably outlast the Triumph. You are talking about an almost $4000 difference in terms of pricing and They are both ugly bikes IMO.
@@andylam4350 i don't know where you live but in Romania ia around 1k euro difference on the price. Yamaha feels like a cheep bike when you touch it when you look on it, looks and feels to be build on a budget. And I agree with you, Yamaha is ugly 😅. Cheers
Why is this called first ride review when you alredy did 2020 STR RS review here: ua-cam.com/video/AiU6yYDpi1Q/v-deo.html ?
Someone didn't listen.
Wonderful bike. Pity for the front lights. It looks like an insect
Looks like a praying mantis
