Chooch Rides - 2019 Triumph Speed Triple RS

[@tcbonline]

Watching the sheer joy and excitement you get from riding a motorcycle just puts a smile on my face. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@MotoChooch]

Thank you!!!

[@fidelcastro9579]

Watching this from a COVID ridden London. Absolutely delightful Sir. Been looking at the same bike myself. 👏👏👏

[@volatilegraphix]

I test rode this bike today and had pretty much the same reactions. The machine just feels like an extension of your body. Smooooth

[@MiguelTorrecillasLacave87]

I love the way it makes you feel! Proud of Triumph

[@timfinning]

Hey mate, love the excitement. Doesn't matter how old a guy is a new bike always makes you feel like a kid again. I have an 09 speedy and absolutely love it.

[@fido0825]

The Speed Triple has always been great - I rode an '03 back in '03 and regret not buying it then. I just bought a leftover '19 Triple S and so far love it!

[@callofgeorge]

just purchased one of these, same yr/model/color and everything. only difference is that mine was used, has the radiator screen/rock guard, upgraded billet brake reservoirs, and doesn't have the rear seat cowl. so far, I'm in love though.. absolutely

[@MotoChooch]

Congratulations! It’s a fantastic machine!

[@joshbryant7363]

I have a 2016 that I absolutely love...but the updates on the new one are enough to force an upgrade soon. Congrats, the speed RS is in my opinion the best motorcycle currently available. I am envious!

[@Kodreanu23]

Good luck with your new bike! Have fun!

[@daves6851]

Aftermarket bars were needed for 5'10" me. Sweated back a bit more and a little taller grip height. Stock fit was perfect for my 6'3" friend. I mounted $30 bars off the rack from Bates in Lewisville, Tx

[@tomeusastrecabanellas983]

I seen a lot of videos about the Speed RS, and I have to say that is the best of them. You have made me feel a lot of excitement, as if I were with the bike for first time :) Thanks for this video !. Hopefully next week I'm gonna try one !

[@fredmaldonado9204]

I love ❤️ the sound of those bikes. They have a very unique muffler tone. Ducati is the only one that comes close to there exhaust note. Very muscular tone and looks as well. That’s pure performance on two wheels.

[@54356776]

It's the airbox/engine noise mate, triumphs sound amazing even when standard.

[@grantroberts8939]

“Pure sex” is the PERFECT description for this bike. Congrats man, my dream bike!

[@ChuckFranco]

i just bought my 2018 street triple R and his excitement was the same as mine when i was in the dealership. Really happy for you! enjoy that amazing bike

[@MotoChooch]

Chuck Franco congrats boss! You too!

[@dougie1325]

I love my 2016 Speed and this can only be better right? I have the US Arrows, not Euro, which means I have taken the baffles out. I'm sure at some point the new Arrows for the RS will offer a version that you can remove the baffles. You hit the nail on the head when you said it was the gentlemen's super naked, not as hooligan as the Super Duke, Tuono or MT10. It's closest rival being the Monster 1200S, which is also a great bike. If you want smooth and plenty of torque power this is the bike.

[@callofgeorge]

you can remove the baffles.. just not easily.. you have to take a flap disc grinder to the fusion welds and pope them out with a clothes hanger/slide hammer.. i just did mine on this exact bike.

[@dougie1325]

@@callofgeorge Yes true but how many people have a flap disc grinder

[@callofgeorge]

@@dougie1325 i mean, you can do it with a grinder, dremel, sand paper if you're patient, technically a saw. its not an uncommon tool. sold at any home depot, lowes, harbor freight, tractor supply, or whatever hardware store is in your area. i got mine off amazon for $60. dewalt angle grinder and a 4" 80 grit flap disc wheel. there are videos on youtube of people showing how to do it.

[@newkurosawa]

I love your enthusiasm! I am going to place my order for the bike tomorrow, I test rode it a few days ago. I was completely blown away by the engine and the mods they have made to the 2018 version. It corners like a dream and is so flickable. Thanks for pointing out about the rear lights, to be honest I missed that when I took the bike out. I will get the garage to install led's. I am going for the matt black. Can't wait!

[@MotoChooch]

new kurosawa congrats and enjoy! Every ride gets better, you're going to love it!

[@markwalker9984]

UK bikes do have LED indicators I think its just your laws in the US

[@newkurosawa]

No i had to get led’s installed

[@samsonman2000]

Lol. Love the hype bro. Lol the name. The gear. Your a refreshing blogger. Cant wait to see how she goes run in. You just sold me.

[@fido0825]

I love the sound of the standard and the Arrow versions of the Triple but the Tuono still sounds the best to me of the available nakeds. Of course there are dozens of pipe options to make any of the open class nakeds sound great.

[@douglasgrosch228]

Fantastic Triumph speed TRIPLE /sound tourque is something nice.nothing compares

[@MrMann-gt1eh]

Thanks for the ergo shots! I’m 6’1” 200. Totally stoked!

[@huskynu13]

Almost made the mistake of skipping this video as I'm not too interested in the speed (love the street RS though), glad I stayed and watched. Congrats on the bike!

[@MotoChooch]

Thank you!

[@misterd1971]

[@robertdavis4761]

Just bought a white S model!! Birthday present to myself! Can’t wait to pick it up!!

[@vinnycapasso560]

Looks and sounds great. I'm glad you're happy. Enjoy.

[@MotoChooch]

Vinny Capasso thank you!!!

[@hongzhiwu]

2019 Triumph Speed Triple RS , she is my first love .

[@Bananimal65]

Every time I ride my 2006 S3, I feel this way. I have had others, and some exotic bikes, but I'll never sell my S3. Never. You ought to hear that 1050 motor with a full Zard pipe. It's intoxicating. If I could afford a 2019, I'd be on it in a second.

[@EP-77o]

How’s the heat on this bike? I live in the southeastern US and it’s routinely in the triple digits in the summer. Wondering if the new speedy’s are tolerable at stop lights and traffic during the heat of the summer.

[@MotoChooch]

Had no issues with the heat at all.

[@EP-77o]

MotoChooch did you sell it?

[@MotoChooch]

@@EP-77o traded for 2020 Speed Twin. Had a great year with the Triple RS but it was so good at what it did it was too hard to ride normally. The Twin is more my, speed, baby. Ya know lol.

[@EP-77o]

Yep. That was my other concern. I was thinking rain mode might tame it enough that it wouldn’t be such a hooligan

[@MotoChooch]

@@EP-77o oh it's fine if you're disciplined. Not unrideable slow at all. Just wasn't happy riding it slow.

[@helloman1976]

Is this a 2019 or 2018? You video post date says May 30th, 2018...were the 2019's already out then?

[@MotoChooch]

Yes for the states the model comes out as a 2019

[@sanjaypunetha]

Ya I know that excitement...had the same feeling when I got my st3 765!!

[@RikkyTang]

I'm test riding a new Speed Triple RS tomorrow... I wasn't overly excited because it may feel a bit too sporty coming from a Bandit 1250, but damn your video has me excited now!!

[@post-punkrider]

Can you do a comparison to the Street Triple R in next video? I have a 16' Triple R and really looking into the Speed RS. Can you explain why you picked it over the Street RS also?

[@MotoChooch]

WhiteRockTriumph next video I’ll have ready is a LED headlight conversion for the RS but I can tell you after owning the R the RS feels a lot more powerful, even more refined, and more confidence inspiring. It just FEELS more capable and solid on the road. Like you can turn harder. Hard to really explain but it feels like more of a grown up bike than the Street. Picked it over the Street RS because I wanted more power this time around and the overall package of electronics features and suspension plus that single sided swing arm was too much to resist.

[@TheAyotteMan]

Airbag tether? I've never heard that one before. I'll have to research a bit. Can share what you know?

[@jerrybenitez6730]

Love the enthusiasm! Great review on the Speed Triple RS. Because of the video I went to go visit my local Triumph dealer to check this bike out. Looks awesome in person. Just curious..did you also check out the regular Speed Triple S? I know the major differences are the Ohlins shock, the quickshifter/auto blipper, and the Arrow exhaust. Wondering if the extra cost of the RS over the S worth it?

[@colonelquickshifter6534]

benjer I’d like to know roo

[@shoei07]

Thinking about trading in my 08 Speed Triple. What was the Otd? If you don’t mind me asking.

[@mikelee1923]

Hi from over the pond, I’ve got one of the very first 1050s and I still get the same reaction as you on yours

[@spetersonmusic]

Chooch goes... BANANAS!!! LOL! Love it. Congrats man.

[@ratsac]

It’s registered as a 2019 because it’s from the 2019 Model Year (MY2019). Which was released in about April 2018 for this bike. Model years don’t necessarily line up with calendar years.

[@MotoChooch]

tinnedspicedham thank you!

[@alistairjohnson177]

Love it chooch :-) Getting an RS in black in Feb enjoy and stay safe

[@MotoChooch]

You are going to LOVE it!!!

[@markwalker9984]

Maybe the one I rode was an early production bike and maybe they dropped it later on UK models ???

[@kriswickettmusic]

I wonder how this would compare with my 2011 speed triple ?

[@mustangGT375]

I’ve got a 19 street RS on order but every time I see these reviews I feel like I should upgrade, but then I think to when I actually sat on the speed and it feels completely different vs the street. I’m 5 11 @ 220 and the street felt perfect to me, the speed felt bulky and just felt strange. Idk, I actually pretty like the looks of the speed, but the street just feels different in a good way to me. Am I wrong with my decision? I still have time to switch...

[@xorbe2]

I have Street RS, and I agree the Speed RS feels so bulky in comparison when I sit on at at the dealer. I manually lowered my Street 1" with a lowering link + drop front + Soupy's kick stand, it's super easy around town.

[@mustangGT375]

xorbe2 I stuck with my decision and got the Street RS and love, so glad I didn’t change my mind. The bike fells great and the white is beautiful. I had the dealer install some heated grips, so I’ll be riding this bike all weathers.

[@mustangGT375]

xorbe2 no lowering links for me, I can flat foot no issue. Kinda strange tho, my 16 RX I couldn’t flat foot. That’s def a pleasant surprise.

[@Maige2900]

Still no factory led indicators in USA, why do your new bikes not get them factory fitted?

[@markwalker9984]

UK bikes do have LED indicators I think its just your laws in the US

[@dlb83082]

I would never have the dicipline to ride that easy on that beast - My 1050 makes me do BAD things!

[@MotoChooch]

I don't anymore.

[@paulh8849]

I took an RS out for an afternoon a couple weeks ago. Loved it, although to be fair I did nearly loose my licence in the speed cameras.

[@MotoChooch]

@@paulh8849 lol

[@zachdaniels8112]

Hey Chooch, I've got a question for you. I thought I heard it pretty clearly in your video, but are you getting pretty noticeable transmission whine in 2nd gear? I'm attributing it to the way the gears are cut, but I figured I would ask since there isn't a whole lot of information on these floating around quite yet. I just picked up my Speed Triple RS (gotta love the crystal white) last Saturday and have been riding it every day. The first 100 miles was rough trying to keep it under the 3500rpm suggestion for the break-in, but I can bump it up to 5k for the next couple hundred miles, which really smooths out the shifts. I'm in total agreement with you, though: this bike is phenomenal. Ridiculously nimble, power delivery is excellent, clutch is grabby but extremely smooth from a stop, suspension is great, and it sounds awesome. I can't wait to be able to open this thing up.

[@MotoChooch]

Zach Daniels Zach Daniels I don’t think any of the whine you hear is the transmission. Triumph notoriously has a triple cylinder engine whine which is a lot more obvious on the Tiger and the Street Triple with the quieter exhausts. Then again it might be the tranny. Either way I don’t find it to be something that detracts from the experience.

[@zachdaniels8112]

MotoChooch not at all! It doesn't detract from the experience in any way. I was just curious. I really only notice it in second gear (accelerating and decelerating), almost like a car with straight cut gears. This is my first triple so I wasn't sure if it was normal for these bikes. Thanks for the response.

[@MotoChooch]

Zach Daniels congrats on your new ride brother! Check out my Street Triple RS or Tiger Rides to really hear that sound if you’re interested :)

[@zachdaniels8112]

MotoChooch Same to you! I can't wait to get through these break-in miles and then see what she can do. I'll check those videos out. Thanks bud!

[@zachdaniels8112]

MotoChooch just FYI, I heard back from Triumph America about the 2nd gear whine. They said because of the layout of the transmission, 2nd gear will be the loudest, but it should quiet down as I get through the break-in.

[@carbj2345]

Which one is better ktm 790 or street triple?

[@tedrodgers9527]

I would love to see you review a 1290 Super Duke R and see how you compare it to this bike.

[@MotoChooch]

KTM is not in the cards just yet. Hopefully soon! I start on Yamaha tomorrow.

[@Toki1908]

Will you ever do the 2nd video?

[@MotoChooch]

Yes! I actually am already brainstorming shot lists and will most likely have help on this one ;)

[@Toki1908]

[@vin374]

Congrats man. Huge Triumph fan here. I have the Street RS. Gotta ditch the high viz now. LOL. Are you still keeping the Tiger?

Hahahahaha awesome. You had me laughing out loud. Beautiful bike

[@benkrol6036]

what is the different between this and the aprilia touno in ur opion

[@MotoChooch]

Ben Kaylee Krol Tuono has more top end I think. Also a bit tighter of a rider triangle. Still a fantastic bike in its own right but the daily usability of the mid range torque on the Speed is more of what I was after. That and I love the look of the speed. The Tuono is a bit loud visually for me. If I was primarily focused on the track I may have decided differently.

[@johnulmerRacing]

Came across you on this bike, at the gas station. Hint......get some carbon fiber wheels! It was awesome meeting you.

[@MotoChooch]

LOL! Nice meeting you too sir! Trust me I'd love to. Just need the $$$ :) Wonder if anyone would sponsor me? :-P

[@johnulmerRacing]

MotoChooch they should. I would go out and hit that road this weekend, but I think it's hotter than my flashpoint out there.

[@MotoChooch]

john ulmer I'm probably not riding much other than my filming on Saturday at RPM. Maybe Sunday morning if it's not 100 by the time I get up.

[@silverslvr5185]

What is progress? It's been a few weeks.

[@MotoChooch]

Jason Dahlstrom haven’t really had a chance to do a full on review on this bike since I’ve been riding others for my channel and am about to expand my offerings :). I can tell you though that this bike is AMAZING!!! It’s broken in and one of the most impressive machines I’ve ever ridden.

👍🏻 Enjoyed it! Have fun with the your new lady.

[@glenpick1]

Not sure I'd trade my mint 2016 Speed Triple R in for one of these, but I like the idea of the cruise control. In my opinion Ohlins forks need to be gold - the bike looks cheapened with black forks. But I'm sure it will be a sell out.

[@bdbrinkley5504]

Lucky Bastard ... I just bought a 2011 Speed Triple ..Red .

[@almorgan3792]

Oh, hell. Now I'm going to have to get one.

[@Andy-2022]

Great video, love your excitement! I don’t understand why the US has to have that switch on the side of the bike though.Very odd!

[@markwalker9984]

The UK Bike has the switch on the side its just a master switch you can leave it on all the time and just have keyless ignition and the reason the remote can turn on and off is [not only to save battery] so it cant be cloned by someone getting near the key.

[@Andy-2022]

The uk version doesn't have that switch

[@markwalker9984]

Well I test rode one from Triumph watton 3 weeks ago and it had the switch on the right just behind the block ???

[@Andy-2022]

That's an odd one then, mine doesn't have it. The sales guy said only US has to have due regulations

I'm hoping to see some of these specs/tech in the next Daytona 675/765/???? haha.

[@YarekBalear]

Pretty sure I heard a sex-wee there, haha :D I almost went for the Speed RS, but decided lighter and smaller suited me better and went to the Street RS a few weeks ago. The quality of these bikes is fricking amazing and I'm sure the Speed RS is exactly like mine, but on steroids. Looks fantastic and the downshifter would be nice too :) Don't need to say this, but have fun :)

[@MotoChooch]

YarekBalear I had a 2016 Street Triple R first before the Tiger. Rode the Street RS for my series. Night and day man. The new RS bikes are absolutely amazing!

[@YarekBalear]

Agreed - I rode the 2016 Speed R on a test and loved it, but found it a bit heavy. I used to own a 2010 Street R, so decided on the Street RS and just before I bought it they brought out the Speed RS. It was a serious dilemma, but I decided to get the Street RS without riding the Speed RS as it'd just cost me money :D :D :D
