[@adamniswonger8015]

It does. It’s just looked exactly the same for more 10 years. I say as the owner of a ‘20 RS

[@sandyk6657]

I bought a 2020 Triumph Street Triple about five months ago and love it. I have the silver one and I think they look very sharp. The bike is so silky smooth and you can tell it's a quality built machine. The handling is amazing and it feels so light and nimble. And it's quick. Love the sound of the 765 triple. I will preface this by saying I sold a 2019 790 Duke to get this bike and there is no comparison. That bike was tractor like - very clunky quick shifter and it had jerky fueling. It did handle well, but the Triumph feels more refined and smooth as far as the engine and quick shifter. I put this bike up there with the 2018 BMW S1000 R that I have as far as quality, smoothness and handling. But the Triumph is more comfortable - feels smaller, which it is, and less of a reach to the bars.

[@axel3895]

Does it heat in traffic

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

I love this bike. Just had test ride and bought it on the spot. Been riding bikes for over 20 years and can’t think of a better bike for the road. But be careful going for a test ride.... it might be expensive!

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

Same thing happened to me. I was unprepared for how smooth, quick, agile and fun this bike is. After riding this motorcycle I literally starting questioning my other bike's and what I thought, up to that point, was a fun and agile motorcycle. That is how impressive the Street Triple is. I just got back from a ride on some twisties and man, this bike makes you a better rider. Way too much fun and not that expensive either.

[@MattSwain1]

Have to disagree with you about the lack of IMU... it’s a street bike, it’s not a sports bike. People complain that bikes are already too expensive and then also complain that they don’t have all of the gizmos found on bikes that cost $20,000. Triumph made sensible compromises with this bike, heated grips are available and aren’t unreasonably priced for those of us who need them and those who don’t aren’t paying for an extra they don’t need

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

Yes, I agree except they did really screw up by not offering cruise control. That was a screw up if you ask me. Like Adam mentioned, the went to ride by wire so it wouldn't have cost them much at all to add cruise control.

[@stefanoslan]

The KTM duke 790 and 890R have IMUs and more electronics and cost even less than this bike. Triumph bike cost a lot of money and a lack of electronics is not acceptable.

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

@@jhawaiian When I bought my 2020 I was so torn over the silver/gray vs the black with green.

Something about that green against the black is just awesome!

[@Arshumness]

Can you describe the “modern” vs. “classic” ergonomics packages? Those denominations are useless without explanation for the uninitiated

[@AdamWaheed]

Modern = KTM 890 Duke R (watch the many videos we have). Classic = the motorcycle above.

[@Arshumness]

@@AdamWaheed Thanks for your reply. So a more upright ergo is synonymous with modern and a slightly more pitched, sporty, with higher pegs forward ergonomics package is more classic? I'm not intending to be antagonistic. I just don't understand the terminology.

[@jongwlee62]

I think he means "classic" has less aggressive reach to the handle bars. I just sat on the Ducati Streetfighter V4 a few days ago, and it has a more pitched forward seating position compared to the Street Triple. I wish the Street triple had a slightly more aggressive reach to the handle bars as that would fit the character of the bike better.

[@Arshumness]

I gotta disagree on the styling...I think it's probably the best looking of the middleweight naked sportbikes (apart from a MV Brutale 800)

The round headlight were much better. This one looks like a sport fairing is missing

[@edgarcampos8059]

The best middleweight is this, MV brutale and Ducati Monster

[@24james]

Well, beauty is in the eye as they say. To me, and many, those huge bug eye headlights are simply hideous.💯🤮

[@Firestorm637]

I have never ridden a Triumph triple but I own a MV Agusta Dragster 800rr triple. Triples are very unique engines with torque and fast, high revving aspects. Love the sound. The triples are Goldilocks engines with torque of V2 and power of In line 4. One less cylinder and a couple less main bearings, means less friction/more horsepower

[@dannygernaat9961]

I love the looks of this bike, rides very good. No problem with my 6'3 length also

[@Firestorm637]

I believe Moto Guzzi developed the first in line triple in the 1930’s. MV Agusta picked up the reins in early 1960’s with their own triple version and won many world GP championships. Triumph in the later 60’s joined the party.

[@trustshankar]

One of the most detailed and best reviews one could see. If triumph gets to see this review they might probably recruit him.

Smart. I had a 2012 street R. It got stolen. I bought a 2019 765rs. The 765 handles heaps better but the engine is no where near as nice as the 2012 street R. The 2019 street RS is piss weak down low, doesn’t start moving till you get it to 8000rpm ☹️

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

@@jimbo1485 That's interesting you feel that way. I've seen the dyno numbers a few times that compare them and they are very similar. There is a tiny bit less torque down low but it is almost insignificant. I've heard others mention they can feel it a bit too though. For me, it has more than enough torque and get up and go in the lower RPM ranges but I'm old and not interested in super fast jumps off the line. It gets me in enough trouble as it is!

[@Champion2Manager]

The green is a go for me and I like everything else ! 😹

[@paulkitchen5802]

I have only 2500 miles on my 18 but I totally disagree about the traction control. I hual ass and have perfectly worn the tread from center to outside edge where the diablo logos are (basically a dot slick) and the Periili Diablo Super Corsa grip from 40 degrees on a sunny day to shred the little specs on the track in the summer. I have a Yoshimura header back pipe that drops 10 pounds easy and is crazy loud without the insert but just right with it installed and you can still hear the incredible intake howl! But there is no need for a fancy IMU traction control on a bike with 120 something HP and 60 lbs of torque and track tires. Set tc to the lightest setting you barlely notice intervention and barley see the light flash on the gauges even on a corner leaned over full throttle exit. I think this dude does smoke before hitting the track! This bike is like a scalple! It goes where you think and has enough power to do an 11 second quarter and keep up with much higher displacement bikes with good riders. I have tried to own bikes that do many things ok like a Ninja 1000SX or Ninja 650 but this bike has made me a better rider and is one of the best bikes for the money or not period. However, what he said about the M50 Brembos is true including the MCS adjustability. They stop so well that you have to be careful when you ride other bikes and alllow for extra distance comparatively. You can get heated grips that are so sweet they display hi/lo in the gauges and have no noticeable wires conneccted to the throttle that rotate with it.

[@TheDriversPerspective]

I have a suspicion they neutered the 2020 with the Euro 5 update. The guys over at 44 Teeth even I commented the ABS and TC was more invasive on this model compared to the old one. I have a 2018 and it’s really solid.

[@thinking6307]

Hey Paul... in support and in addition, I'm pretty sure you know the Triumph Street Triple won the 2022 MotoAmerica Daytona 200 too. Came in 1st and 6th. The pilot Brandon Paasch was brilliant.

[@kirkdunn1379]

idk why headlight and fly screen stick so far out in the front.....if they would have just tucked it closer to forks and maybe thinned it out it would look proportionate.......only gripe and would have bought it if it did.....maybe in future

Gotta hand it to Adam. He sure doesn’t let things like traffic control devices or other vehicles on the road interfere with his forward momentum.

I think it looks great, mid range punch is what this bike needed and that's what it has now and it's still only 165ish dry.

[@steve-wu7jp]

I think it’s a decent looking bike but I’d get the R. Regarding the headlights , nothing beats the gen 1 dual round headlights 😎

[@theelementalscientist6631]

Plus the 2017-19 R’s have the TFT display but the 2020 only has the shitty LCD

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

Are you saying that because of the long review from Revzilla that concluded the R was the better option? If you are then you might want to rethink that. They were talking about the previous Street Triple versions. The 2020 r and rs are different in many ways. For one, you can only get the TFT with the RS now and second, they fixed the throttle response/torque issues that plagued the 2017-2019 RS and made those guys choose the R. If they did their testing with the 2020 then they'd choose the RS and rightfully so. You can get the R but you are giving up everything and only gaining the price savings.

[@windyrun7979]

I owned an earlier version of the 765 street and agree completely with your assessment of this one. I also owned a '15 street 675 and though I liked its motor better the 765 handles way better than the 675 did - for me - and the brakes on the 765 are great. My 765 was the RS version and its power didn't kick in until at least 8k rpm so I would recommend the R model since its torque comes in earlier (i'm told).

[@gorillamoto5329]

K Ignacio red on black is one of the classiest combos possible. The hand drawn stripes were a signature on a masterpiece, if you owned one you’d understand. I own a 2017 crystal white Street R and a 2012 crystal white Speed R. Still in love with everything about both, even the signatures.

[@kignacio]

Gorilla Moto that’s fine but damn Triumph give us options. It’s been black silver white with red red red for the past 4 years now. Same wheels 8 years I want to say? And they used to come in different colors. I’d go for a black with gold wheels I think they had in 16? Every year needs new colors, most brands know this.

[@gorillamoto5329]

K Ignacio Triumph is not one to throw 💩 at the wall and see what sticks. They are quality British bikes, that keep the heritage, short as it may be. I personally wish they offered a single led headlight, but they stick to what they do, with small changes. Btw, the Red describes which model. I switched the Speed to a single JW Speakers and it looks B.A.

[@kignacio]

Gorilla Moto I agree, and they are splitting hairs because they have nailed every niche genre with their classics, but I would love a single round headlight, 765 triple inside of a Speed Twin with R suspension.

[@Gexxon]

I test rode one just for the heck of it, and it rides very well, but I, just like you, also felt that the overall look of the bike is just plain fugly. It's not just the head light seemingly looking out of place to me, it's everything at any angle. It doesn't flow well IMHO. It looks like a bunch of different parts and styles thrown together to make a bike. If you can get past the ugly look i will admit, It is so smooth and comfortable though, but i just can't get past the looks of it. Sorry the styling sucks. Bring on the hate i can take it, for the guys that love this bike. It's just not for me but enjoy what you love and ride safe out there. I'm leaning more towards the Suzuki Gsx S1000 with the return of the 05-08 gixxer engine in it. It's a very good looking bike with a beast of a proven engine in it. I'm ok with that. Cheers.

Other than the headlights I like everything. Bug eyes design was only cool on Benelli 899 etc.

Key fob looks cooler and more safe if you travel around the world. Specially in countries that has a lot of crime rate

[@kuroneko2788]

I agree, it should have cruise control and heated grips!! I'm pretty sure the Triumph Tiger 800 and 1050 both have heated grips and cruise control as options and possibly similar electronics so it baffles me why they wouldn't include it on they're other bikes if they are sharing parts. Its a 13k bike OTD COME ON TRIUMPH~!!

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

I agree as well! If you are going to make a "RS" version that is more expensive than the other trim and you already offer that tech in other motorcycles that you produce, then why in the hell isn't it offered on this bike!? Cruise control is so standard these days it is almost silly it's not on the bike already. It wouldn't have cost them much at all to add that feature.

I like these on-the-move reviews but the camera must always point forward, not down while moving. Obviously point the camera down to talk about the dash, etc. A good review, which this is, is ruined by a crappy camera angle.

In flesh the bike looks pretty good actually, but if course it's subjective. Build quality and refinement is objectively excellent though. I got the 2017 and it keeps delivering. I'd like the increased midrange from the new model though. But the new screen graphics is really a step backwards. I tried the old 675 once and I also really loved the direct connection to the throttle. Overall t's a great do it all bike with nearly zero flaws. Totally usable for touring and yet great fun on the track.

[@FoxFaderWorld]

Mechanical throttle. This and no nannies is why I continue to own my 07 Tuono Factory. I've ridden one of these and I really like it.

[@MrJackk10]

I have to disagree with some of your points! The engine is hugely different from the original 675. There is dozens of redesigned parts of the engine and latterly the moto2 engines that triumph supply, the engineering and technology has trickled down to the new 765. The dash and TFT display is very easy to use. The joystick pretty much does everything. You can’t really go wrong with it. I admit the display options aren’t the best, however the usability is very good.

[@Yoo_yuz]

Gotta agree with the looks, the body and tail looks great but the front not so much. I've never really like the look of the front which was why I've always preferred the Daytona 675

Adam is the best👍

[@KingCast65]

Adam sporting greys, wow..... time takes on!

[@Jambome]

This is definitely a well balanced review. Main take out for me is that the best days of the Street triple platform could well be behind them. The raving reviews of the past may have led triumph to rest on their laurels through just subtle tweaks to their triple powerplant. But this is 2020. The competition has caught on. It's an opportunity for them to leap ahead once again

[@njwatz9260]

Really enjoy these road tests. Great format with good information and super to watch. Thanks Adam.

[@Victic005]

I would take this bike over the Duke.

[@tharunjagadishprasad]

This bike is dope 🤟

[@cosmoscience2092]

Honestly I’d have to disagree with a lot of this review. The street triple RS has a sportier riding position than nearly every other naked bike in its class. Also the TFT display is so easy to use idk how you could fault it. I never even looked at the manual. And finally the suspension isn’t exactly supple. It’s track suspension. It does fine over rough roads but you’re gonna feel some of it. For as good of a rider as he is this review was a little strange. It’s a phenomenal bike.

[@hawkrider88]

I want glossy paint!! And what are "contemporary bars"? Flatter and more stretched out? Just give me comfort, I don't want a sportbike without bodywork...I want something a bit more comfortable, not stretched out. Street not Sport.

[@fingerscrossed2317]

And what is that ?

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

Then this is your motorcycle.
