Tons of content lately, and the production value is higher than ever. So excited for the state of the channel.

[@-aezar9702]

After testing a few nakeds including the KTM and MT 09 SP. I purchased a Street Triple RS. have done 1000 miles in the last couple of weeks around the peak district and north wales. The bike is a beauty and with the added reliability over some competitors it feels like the perfect road machine, happy on the edge of the tyres and comfy when getting to the good roads. Looking forward to many more fun miles over the next 4-5 years before i go for another new bike. Cheers for all the coverage on this bike class, these reviews have been a great help in what to look for and what to test on each bike!

[@DucatiDale]

I tried the street triple rs and the ktm before settling on the yam the triumph motor felt useless compared to the Ktm and yam for day to day use

[@-aezar9702]

each to their own fella :) works for me with the way i like to ride but, i commute in a car. I use the bike on my days off so dont have to do a large amount of riding around traffic really. Hope your bike is serving you well!@@DucatiDale

Picked up my RS in Cosmic Yellow 2 weeks ago. Had a 2018 R that I sold and had regretted getting rid of it ever since. This is a great upgrade. Early days but loving it so far.

Super slick production. Very good review and Q&A. Moving the game on guys! Would love to see it on British roads and track (lashing with rain and cold notwithstanding) for useful comparison. Cracking bike Gromit. I'd go for the RS just for the mirrors.

[@stefaandeswert377]

RS all day every day. For that littel extra you get so much more bike. Plus, it's fun to be able to say you got an rs 😬

[@SquireSCA]

Any difference in top end power, is easily fixed with an ECU flash from an Android device. Since 2020, the R and RS have the exact same motor, same tune, etc... The only difference is the ride by wire tables. The RS delivers 100% power when you ask it to, while the R doesn't. Fuel and ignition tables are identical, the only difference are those ride by wire tables. Think of it like... The R model's Sport Mode, is like the RS's Road Mode. The RS has one more, higher power mode than the R, that's it.

[@lyianx]

I kinda prefer the more relaxed stance of the R, but with all the 'bells and whistles' of the RS (including the bar end mirrors).

[@TK-cl1jm]

Simple. Buy the RS and remove the 10mm spacer. Done.

[@sg-oe9wb]

Great editing and review, its the RS for me if I can find one.

[@dutchup353]

Another great video, thank you guys. I do have to disagree on the last part. I just don't get why manufacturers link tc and abs to wheelie control while the tech is available to separate them,l. At least be able to keep abs on. It would be nice to be able to rely on it while entering a corner, just to exit it on the rear wheel.

[@EstrogenGhoul]

We need a 765 daytona that revs to 14500 rpm like the old one. It would make like 145 hp with the extra revs.

[@davidebbs2797]

💯%👍

[@xorbe2]

Even the official Moto2 bikes only rev to 14400.

[@YarekBalear]

So interested to see what this is like. Had a 675R and a prev gen 765RS before and happy to hear they’ve reintroduced some of the soul of the original bike. Very near to spunking some spondooliks in my dealers direction.

[@tonebonetones]

So........Thai-rumph say no one is going to buy a Daytona version? You know, 'cos it 'wouldn't sell'. Really? But, they're going to buy the 'sit up and beg' RS and R, with all that jolly windblast past 80mph, but hey it's nice and comfy for tootling along like a Royal Enfield? If I am correct, the limited version of this with the clip ons but God awful colour scheme sold out ruther quickly. The only ones who think a Daytona would not sell are Triumph, I suspect.

[@ThiefOfNavarre]

Absolutely. Don't they remember how popular the Daytona 675R was?

[@murraylove3632]

The new Daytona 660 is stunning...I,d buy one...

[@pokawolf24]

The street triple used to be based on the daytona. Now the daytona is based on the 765. So the daytona will be good, but not great like the old one. Watch this space

[@chrisjohnson120]

[@MrSadriabi]

I wish Triumph sold racing kits/ upgrades to turn these into track bikes.

[@PhilWare1]

I've got a 675R which is perfect for the road - wouldn't want any more power. I can see the RS being better for track, but for the road I'd stick with the R.

[@confusedgingers]

Nice film. Perhaps the new addition to 44teeth!👍

[@RadDadisRad]

This is how I feel when I ride mine. Love it.

[@mathoma94]

Lovely bike. And big thank you for the on screen translations for yanks LOL

[@xorbe2]

Are you sure it's not the geometry change that makes the RS a bit harder to wheelie?

[@SouthAuckMarine]

Great comparison of the two. Do we need the RS for everyday ... no, but god damn that red looks bloody good. I'm looking at one, but wonder if being 6ft I'd look out of place. How tall are you?

[@-aezar9702]

I am 5'11 (32inch inseam) so probably similar dimensions just a little shorter and the bike feels very comfortable for me over the first 1000 miles. averaging 150ish miles per ride out

[@huayrarevo]

Alright, TBH I am in love with this motorcycle, it's just the looks are a bit off to me. Give it Trident 660 looks, slightly more torque make it compete against the xsr 900 and I swear I'll be the first person to get my hands on one. Already looking for an upgrade.

[@cuzimaluzer777]

The beginning of this video is fucking amazing

[@tianjohan4633]

Why does Triumph insist to keep the beaker headlight that protrude so far out from the fork? It was needed back in the days of H4 halogen bulbs but not today. The headlight is ruining the lines of the bike.

[@RaceWithTime]

I don't buy the "our customers just want something simple" excuse for not having separate wheelie & traction control. It doesn't have to be complicated. It wasn't complicated on my old S1000R or my current 790 Adv (dynamic pro on the BMW and Rally mode on the KTM disable wheelie control, no crazy menu diving required). My actual guess is it's just some dumb liability reasons. It's a shame because other than some annoying things like this with the electronics package (and weird TFT displays), modern Triumphs are nearly faultless.

[@sp00ky1969]

Are you going to be able to try a Moto2 at some point? Seriously tempted by these bikes for road stuff. How do you think these would hold up against a Streetfighter (forgetting the massive price difference)?

[@FortyFourTeeth]

The only way is borrowing one from an owner, as Triumph only has one of each colour as showroom pieces. I have a mate who has bought one, so...

[@thornscoop2]

A DNK tune should sort the mapping differences out!

[@greyanaroth]

For the record, triumph will NEVER allow you to switch the nannies off, and have them remain off upon keying the bike on and off. I just took my daytona to the track and almost forgot to put the abs in circuit mode (which was great btw. Bottomed out before abs could kick in 😂) a couple of times. In a day where so much is happening, this is one more thing to remember. But then, the lawyers will win this one every time. 🤷‍♂️

[@AOL0321]

I just sold my 18’ Street Triple and loved the bike but hated the seating position vs. my 2013 Street. Do you still sit “ On Top” of the bike vs. sitting down into it? Is the position more upright on the R/RS vs. it’s predecessors?

[@yzfr6i]

Does the 765 have a more narrow tank (where your legs grab) than an R6?

[@Gaby83]

It just looks incomplete to me ...but then again, I would never buy a "naked" bike, only if given as a present, not my type ! 😁

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

Reducing fuel tank size makes no sense. Not a fan of Triumph tft dashes…just way too much clutter and finding your way through them whilst on the go is distracting and not intuitive. Less is more. Love the RS though.

[@flamintasty]

No, he was cleared of all charges 😂

[@PaulMappud]

One can encounter some rather uncouth folk in the youtube comments section... ! A good audio experience is very much like making love to a beautiful woman, eg Lay her down on the deck, bring her up to speed with a flick of the finger (33rpm) , check your stylus for fluff, gently clean the groove with a soft bristle brush, lower your stylus into the groove, don't nudge it too hard or you might slip out the groove and damage your diamond tip, finally lay back and enjoy the experience till you reach the runout groove...

You’re still missing the brakes and master cylinder upgrades, and you won’t get the money back at resale. Probably best value to go straight for the RS,but each to their own.

@@boyle1990 ok but now that you did that, you could have just gotten the RS. And you still voided the warranty, no matter how easy it is to do.

[@Wardeneo]

The KTM 890 Duke R is same money/ slightly more expensive with a few options like cruise/Bluetooth/heated grips/ tech pack etc - only the Yamaha and Kawasaki are cheaper… but imo they don’t compete with 890 duke r or 765RS I looked at both 890 duke r/765rs for my next bike and ultimately bought a new 23 765rs and Ive loved all 103 miles I’ve done on it so far whilst running it in

[@douglasalexander4348]

The Mt09 is easily as good as the 765, I’ve had both. The 765 is more refined, easy to live with, the Mt09 more lively and aggressive. Whatever floats yer boat. KTM was great, but, too many niggles on build reliability. Yamaha was cheaper on servicing and more mpg. Still on the 765, what a bike.

​@@douglasalexander4348how would you compare the comfort between MT09 and 765? Talking position and suspension...cheers

[@douglasalexander4348]

@@patrickrosello9583 I have the R 765. The RS 765 although it’s ohlins, is stiffer, which is why I went for the ‘R’ The Triumph R is more supple over small bumps compared with mt09, and handles just as well at speed, so 1-0 to Triumph. (And yes, I’ve adjusted the suspension on both) to get the best out of them, stock road setting on Triumph was spot on though) However, the mt09 has a stronger pulling engine, feels like it has more torque. The Triumph feels more refined, the MT09 a bit more spicy. It’s so hard to split the two, the Triumph is fantastic everywhere and everyday comfortable, the mt09 is a bit more aggressive and better for those go for it days, but either will get you smiling.
