[@johncarrington8306]

I have the R and also the quick shifter has been faultless 👌🏻 I've added the bar end mirrors and belly pan to mine so looks pretty much the same as the RS and I love it ❤ just over 1000 miles now and it's a keeper !!

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

You should get an RS Kate. BTW, I bought one because of you. It's a red one and I absolutely love it! All you said was bang on true. Chuffed! Can't get enough of it.

[@512460]

Triumph whistle is just soo distinctive. To the point in real life I don't need to turn my head to know theres a triumph close by. It's amazing

[@johningle8850]

Must have been a rouge bike you had. I bought a silver R in June and the quick shifter has been faultless and addictive up and down the box. Superb road machine particularly on the ”twisties” and so much value for money. Enjoyed your vid thanks 👍

[@2wheelbikers311]

Hi Kate. I absolutely love my 2023 R, the quickshifter is as smooth as butter but it really comes into its own when you give it some. I have put bar end mirrors on and they have improved the looks. I was wondering that i may regret not getting the RS but I love the white. Yes deffo something not right with that quickshifter, maybe needs a reset, you definitely need to try it with it working. Thanks for the video 👌

[@debenhamdave4314]

Both the R and RS are fantastic bikes, personally I found the mechanical and cosmetic upgrades of the RS worth the extra but the R is still a wonderful bike. Thanks Kate.

[@andymushlarky7819]

Nice bike Kate, look forward to the next videos of this one. I love the sound of classics such as the Bonneville range, but the howl of the Street Triple is intoxicating.

I love how the triple engine whistles ❤👍🏻.... Bought the new Street Triple R a few weeks ago and it's just a great bike with a fantastic value for money 😊. I also rode the RS, but these two bikes are not far apart on public roads ☝🏻. The QS on my Triumph Street Triple R is working absolutely great, best so far...

Thank you so much!!

[@Biker_Jonathan]

I have this bike and the quick shifter works perfect, it’s better than my tiger 900 quick shifter. Though come to think of it, I remember it took a while to get used to it on the R initially, but now it’s grand, maybe takes a few miles to get going. The tyres are brilliant in the wet, very assuring.

[@UsernameKate]

It's so weird because after next rides after this.. it performed FLAWLESSLY. Might have just been having a paddy haha

[@Biker_Jonathan]

[@michaelrieser9928]

I had the up only quick shifter on the 675r Daytona and it worked great, I have the 2024 ktm390 duke quickshifter and it is flawless. Yeah I don’t like hearing these bikes being glitch like that.

[@millinutz]

Happy days and good times! What an infectious ride that was! Would be interesting to know where that strech of road was with the 360° round view..., please?

[@yonniboy1]

IMO the quickshifter/blipper problem is almost certainly confined to that bike as my dealership lent me an R while my RS was getting its first service and I found its shifter just as good as my RS.

[@UsernameKate]

It's weird because everytime I rode it afterwards... it behaved perfectly. Sods law.

[@yonniboy1]

@@UsernameKate Although I liked the R, for me it doesn't have the RSs x factor plus the cosmic yellow is the cherry on the cake.

[@douglasalexander4348]

@@yonniboy1 The RS doesn’t have the Moto 2 X factor, and the acid yellow is amazing, makes everything else look a bit meh.

[@pleenc30]

Kate, when i test rode the R the other week, the QS was flawless, however when i rode the RS after, that was no way near as good and the blipper was useless. However now i have taken delivery of my own RS (Yellow thanks to you) i can confirm the QS is sublime and the blipper works ok. I do believe they learn though or adapt as they get used.

[@chema1546]

Ok 👏🎉 Kate 😊

[@NeonLuvBar]

The great road is the B6480 between Bentham and Clapham (about 5 miles long). One of my faves, I normally do it after going from Slaidburn to Bentham via the Cross of Greet.

[@ttrguy9952]

I loved this video! 🌹🌹

[@UsernameKate]

Thank you!!

[@stephenpotts8170]

Hi Kate enjoyed the review, I deffo think it was a faulty quick shifter, and you said about the 10bhp difference between the RS and R, I believe it's only down to different mapping on the EFI system, so if you wanted the same power on the more road focused R that would be relatively cheap mapping to sort out, but if you like the bling RS all the way.

[@robertpaisley7257]

Like the look of them never had a triumph might have to make some room in me garage for one

[@UsernameKate]

Defo test ride one! 😁

[@Cartsp70]

You can get a nearly new RS for £10500 anyway so no point getting the R is there ? Unless you want a brand new one which is a waste of money. I paid £15000 for a brand new RS 1200 and after one year it’s only worth £9600 so its value drops like a stone, even with 1800M ridden .

[@DraftyVi]

RIP that fly on the go pro

[@technohamster4783]

I decided straight away that id go for the RS o also think its worth the extra. Especially the colours. .

[@UsernameKate]

I love love love the RS 😊

[@morganmartin9286]

Great vid 👍 how about a speed triple rs with the semi active suspension from the rr and the new crossplane triple from the tiger 1200 (tuned up of course) ?

[@tyranid05]

If I'm not mistaken, you used to have an older 765RS, possibly a first generation? You were talking about comparing this R to the current RS, but say someone might have an older model R or RS. Worth the cost to upgrade? The R seems like a ridiculous amount of bike for the money

[@Steve-bp9rj]

Hi Kate I have the R and shifter/ blipper is spot on cheers Steve.

[@UsernameKate]

Great to hear!

[@boblynch7535]

I have a 22 900 Tiger and the quick shifter is absolute butter! I have to think there’s an electronic glitch going on there. I hope so, at least!

quickshifter on mine was awful for first 100 miles or so then it started to get better, after 300 miles it was great

[@sativa800]

Any idea why? Did you ask dealership about this issue? I’ve been test ridden 765rs last weekend and quickshifter was smooth like a butter

[@stephenmeek3128]

@@sativa800 no I never bothered to be honest. It's been fine since. I will mention it when it gets run in service but I put it down to some sort of break in period.

[@MarkLAdkins01]

I have the RS Moto 2 and I find it great for daily riding - I look at 100 bhp bikes like the Aprilia RS 660 and even that level of bhp is plenty for the road. At 118 bhp the R will get the job done. As for the quick shifter - probably needs a cleaning and perhaps a reconfig. Had similar issues and this resolved the problem.

[@Cartsp70]

It’s got warranty so it’s not even an issue tbh 🤷🏾

[@johnterry804]

You can get a 2023 rs with less than a thousand miles for 10k now? The yellow colour still full price? Just seen a red one RS with 400 miles for 9700?

Dealers should have the sense to check and only loan out bikes that perform properly as intended to prospective buyers, and especially to known reviewers.

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

Agreed, my quick shift is way better under load. Do it without and it jerks the bike around hard.

[@tranquilmind8487]

What boggles my mind is Triumph and other influencers will boast that the R is the better road bike, yet why the hell doesnt Triumph allow cruise control on the R? They allow you to add it on to the more track focused RS bike. Makes NO sense to me!

[@davidbates5310]

My quickshifter works fine Kate, love my R. Must be a fault on the press bike

[@flexywing]

Maybe not the right question, but was the KTM790 Quick shifter "fixed" compared to 890 you mentioned Thanks

[@Peskyjooba]

I think your review is good but you did keep comparing it to the RS and it’s a different bike for a different market. The quick shifter on my R has never given me trouble so I think it’s just that particular bike where you were having issues unfortunately. Also I find the quick shifter works much better when you’re giving it some and not riding at 50mph in gear 4 or 5 which you were doing for majority of the video. It’s meant to be ridden at the higher Rev range this bike and that’s where you’ll have the most fun :)

[@UsernameKate]

The quickshifter performed wonderfully in all the following rides and videos to come. Riding style unchanged. It must have been having a bad day.

[@beetleything1864]

Couldn’t have the R knowing that there is an RS and cannot stand the speedo on the R.

[@robertbieganski8143]

[@gasguzzler5551]

[@robertbieganski8143]

@@gasguzzler5551 really? Oh no no...I consider to buy it...but I hoped not.....

[@Maverick-moto]

@@robertbieganski8143 Engine vibes felt through the seat, tank and pegs were something that very much surprised me on a test ride of the RS two weeks ago. The engine almost has a Jekyll and Hyde character to it. It’s extremely smooth until around 6000rpm, and then it becomes quite harsh and unrefined from then on in the rev range in my humble opinion. It was certainly a dealer breaker for me. I would seriously suggest a test ride before you hand over your cash.

[@tonypyatt6556]

It’s nice but it’s not an RS on the tyres I have ridden mine in torrential rain and never found them to be a problem

That quick shifter unfortunately might be a bit of a triumph thing. I used a hire bike a few years back that had a 765 RS converted to a track bike and was always having issues with the quick shifter not wanting to shift. I now wife a BMW and NEVER have an issue

[@Otto-AutoPilot]

I'd have bought the R if they did it in a decent colour, but the white and grey is just so dull and uninspiring. Yellow and a belly pan and they'd not be able to build them fast enough.

[@UsernameKate]

Agreed!

[@MrBinkz]

I had an RS, great bike but too clinical, sold it and bought an MT09SP. Much more comfortable too, but also much more hooligan energy 😂

[@UsernameKate]

haha hooligan energy, I feel that!

[@douglasalexander4348]

The mt09 has a more aggressive edgy feel, and gruntier engine. RS more refined, with smoother throttle mapping. Flat white vs cappuccino…

[@preciscoprecisco4275]

I like to drive much longer than end of the season. So any bike without windshield is not for me. Doesn’t work. Good only for people drive 10 min to work around and nothing else

[@domsbits3922]

You are only going to notice that 10hp difference when you are riding at the top last 1500rpm. No way to feel the difference at anything below 9thousand revs

[@UsernameKate]

I reckon it's more the responsiveness of the throttle. Sport mode on the R felt different to on the RS to me. More crispy on the RS imo.

[@Villani_AV]

Ironically I'm cross shopping speed triple 1050s and this bike lol (easier to find new bikes by me, plus they're all the same price rn)

[@512460]

Honestly hp wise there's not much in it between the 765 and 1050 also you'd buy the 1050 speed R for the extra ohlin in the front. However it does weigh more.

[@Otto-AutoPilot]

Is the R a little more upright and less 'on the wrists' than the RS?

[@MrBinkz]

Yes, due to the removal of the rear shock spacer

[@marksgaragestuff]

[@chrro466]

Can never understand why you would want cruise control on a bike like this ??

[@richarddell2527]

The extra 10 HP comes over 11500 RPM Kate. Up to the point in the video you said you miss it, you had not gone anywhere near that RPM. You werent missing the HP, you could not possibly have felt it. This is self confirmation bias, you know the HP numbers of the bike and you convinced yourself you could feel it when in fact you absolutely did not. I appreciate your female perspective on feelings however, try not to speak garbage.

[@UsernameKate]

ok perhaps I didn't get my feelings out of the mouth in the correct way, a brain mouth disconnect but the RS sport mode in my opinion does feel a lot crispier and more responsive/urgent than the R and in my opinion, does subconsciously give you a feeling that the R is less powerful, less aggressive because of how they both feel in sport mode. I am working on trying to better put across my points in every future video I do :)
