2020 Triumph Street Triple RS | VERY Naughty!!

[@MackTheGovnah]

This is the best middleweight motorcycle on the market!

[@LambChopRides]

Yes think you are correct Mack!

[@MackTheGovnah]

Lamb Chop Rides people get hung up the look of the headlights but they grow on you. I have a 16’ Street Triple RX and always get compliments on it. It’s well balanced in every area! This 2020 looks freaking killer for the quality of the engine and components!

[@sk2283]

@@LambChopRides have you ridden the KTM 890 Duke ? what's best between these 2 ?

[@Omar-kw5ui]

@@MackTheGovnah yea the first time I saw this bike, I thought it looked like a wasp. The headlights kinda ruin the look of the whole thing, they could've just kept it simple with a round headlight.. I really hope this grows on me because I like the rest of it.

[@MackTheGovnah]

Omar M Khalil I like the wasp look because it’s totally unique to the bike. When you see a Street Triple there’s no guessing what bike it is. Cheers!

[@imsa15463]

Just bought a 2020 RS in black . Yoshimuira AT2 pipe, and a few other mods. Absolutely in love with it. The sounds this thing makes. Orgasmic.

[@rolandfullthrottle8316]

Bought this bike! Thanks to you, Chops! Nothing in the middleweight class comes close to this! Maybe except the new Duke 890 ... but that bike is specially made to battle with the RS, so that’s a huge compliment for Triumph! 😎👍

[@LambChopRides]

Great to hear Roland it's a fantastic thing! Enjoy it 👍

[@sorena1973]

i bought four of this bike from the time they came out I've got 2020 last week and after all this years of riding this bike still make me smile under the helmet

[@Lex-Rex]

I have a 2018 R and I love watching the reviews on these because I get it. I still am not a fan of the headlights, but I don't see em when I'm riding so I forget quick.

[@bwoody74]

I absolutely love my 2017 RS, fantastic bike. This looks like further evolution of what has always been a amazing bike since they were first launched.

[@rontrose]

Fantastic. Great vid!! I have a 2018 R model. I’m a very competent rider with a few track days (none on the Triumph yet) and 30 years experience and I must say I need no more bike ever. The chassis and fit and finish on these bikes are unreal and more power for the road than necessary. These are sport bikes first and foremost and just brilliant. What a bike!!

[@danasprey4144]

Superb video. You're excitement was difficult for you to hide. What a great sounding machine.

[@SquireSCA]

Pulled the trigger and traded in my Tuono for the 2020 Street RS. What a cool bike! Nowhere near as fast, but more than fast enough. Feels good, makes a great noise, handles well. My only real complaint is the new dash graphics. They SUCK. Triumph changed them for the sake of change, and while they are pretty to look at, they are horrible to USE. Completely useless while riding. Triumph, please put out a software update and let us use the screens from the 2017-2019 RS models. They are WAY better. Far more useless and look much nicer...

[@curtmeyer4894]

10,000 miles on my 2018 RS with zero mechanical issues, only normal maint and a few mods...The fit and finish on these bikes is second to none for the price range, all around best bike I've ever owned.... I'm 56 and it still makes me giggle. 😅

[@g40will]

Stonkingly good review of a fantastic bike chopsy! I picked mine up Saturday afternoon and absolutely love it!

[@adamstratford6740]

Whatup LC 👍🏻 I can honestly say i was never a Triumph fan until 3 half years ago when i bought my 13 plate Daytona 675R but since owning that amazing bike i was completely sold on them. They really are on point with everything there producing atm from how they look,sound,ride and feel they really are a great manufacturer. This new TST RS looks awesome and like you said for you to say this is a better road bike than the Tuono compliments don’t really come much better tbh. Great review LC 👏👏👏Adam

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Adam!

[@mink85]

just bought one - love it already. nice first impressions video one thing though - this bike does not have full imu as Ou stated - basically just standard ABS and TCS. seems like you got that wrong mate :-)

[@easternmenace]

Wow the exhaust wouldn't even need to be changed in terms of looks

[@bitkurd]

I changed mine and regretted it instantly

[@davidezhang6441]

@@bitkurd why? Too loud? Or you can scrape it when leaning?

[@mojosdad68]

They are naughty bikes, you’re right. I had to get rid of my RS as my license was in serious jeopardy. They’re truly amazing bikes at a tremendous value.

[@robg9379]

Great review Chops👍🏍️. I bought a brand new ST RS in September not knowing this was coming out!!! But I still love mine, they are great bikes. Keep all the videos coming there great to watch 🍻

[@ryanoliver9131]

Bought the 2019 street triple r lrh.. all I can say is it is wow it’s insane. I know a lot of bikes are faster but man this bike is awesome. Best of all it’s comfortable

[@DavidFernandez-sc5ws]

Just got myself a used 2015 street triple. It's my first bike. It's absolutely incredible.

[@cecilwilson5442]

Triumph is so good that ktm has had to make an 890r to get sales back from the street triple and its euro 5 but also sounds nice plus its British 👌😍

[@realMysta]

Well to be honest I think 790 price made Striple have to compete even more so that's why Triumph stepped up their game, either way good time to be the buyer ;)

[@greyanaroth]

Have at it I say. We get better bikes to choose from

[@Joric78]

Love the "side car" cam, great for wheelies and showing suspension action. Although the helmet cam is still best for giving an impression of actually riding. Street triples certainly seem like a lot of bike for the money, and with a performance envelope that can really be explored rather than the ridiculous excess that a lot of the current crop of machines provide. Unfortunately I'm somewhat addicted to ridiculous excess, especially of torque. I just wish there were more 1300cc v-twins on the market, or close equivalents (maybe a supercharged or turbocharged parallel twin @800cc with a 270 degree crank).

[@KiwiBizDude]

Thanks mate, great review. Great design, love the sound, and the overall package, but for me, the fun factor still goes to the Tuono.

[@therealgallivanter367]

Yes, I'll have an Insta360 please! Those 360 shots are awesome, Chops. Good stuff. Love the review 👍🏻

[@Madmaverick101]

The banter is great. Nice one Chopsy

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks mate :-)

[@humandroid53]

Don't like the 360s much.

[@paulfowler6665]

Just watched this after watching your latest video on the 660 Tuono and this bike doesn't cost much more and seems like a much better bike to me . It sounds better too. I think I know which one my money would go on.

[@gdscheiwe01]

Awesome review. Almost choked when you said it may actually be a better road bike that the Tuono! High accolades indeed! Peace!

[@SquireSCA]

Quick correction, the new RS does NOT have an IMU or anything lean angle sensing. It's just more sophisticated algorithms applied to the wheel speed sensors from last year's model...

[@mahamza86]

Man you are using that Insta 360 the right way. I love it. Keep up the nice work. But the main thing is your chatter, You talk like a true bike lover. I can relate to that.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Hamza

[@Dius765RS]

5:11 Washington Triumph loves this level of enthusiasm on these test rides =)

[@greyanaroth]

Great stuff! I just got the outgoing one and that is absolutely amazing! I'm over the moon with it. Pretty sure with the improvements this is, dare I say, perfect? What a machine!

[@Addy29plus5]

Anupam Roy same i got a 2019 outgoing and it is fantastic. I saw the new one and it isn’t really worth the upgrade. Wait for the 2021/22 version

[@WestyorkshirestRS]

Glad you liked it chops and that’s why I’ve done 30,000 miles on mine

[@Alexander5R]

How has been the reliability on the bike after so many miles? Any adjustments beside the normal service at the dealer?

[@WestyorkshirestRS]

Alexander Sinco full service history plus oil and filter half way in between just like old bike, yeah she’s been fine only odd part here and there across the tile I’ve had her, only time she’s been off road is really from mods or bent wheels etc etc, all good now but she’s away getting a tweak as we speak

[@matthewwilkinson5031]

Lovely bike. I still miss my 2014 street triple, and my 2015 speed triple. Triumph really do make fantastic triple engines, and the street and speed models are just great road bikes. I think one of my bikes will be getting the chop next year for one of these! I’m just waiting to hear more about the rumoured 1160 speed triple... Great vid, chops. That 360 camera work is amazing! Even if it still spooks me out.

[@dougie1325]

I had a Street RS when my Speed was being serviced. It’s so flickable it made me a naughty rider. I was pleased to get back on the Speed for sensible planted riding.

[@herrb8962]

I´m not sure what bike i want to buy/ride in spring 2020. Speed Triple RS 2019 or this new Street Triple RS..?!?! Actually I drive a Yamaha R1 RN225 and want back on a (Power) Naked Bike. But has the Street Triple RS enough power? Any suggestion or advice? (test ride is not possible at the moment here in southern germany because of the weather conditions) Thank you..!!

[@izmael_kneafcy]

Love this review. The camera angles are really exhilarating. You always give it the juice too. 😉

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks very much 👍

[@ross5506]

We are of about same weight 260 lbs , a under 750cc bike that throttle wheelies amazing! You're having too much fun on that little beast. If Triumph could just put a little more cc and have the DNA of this 675 towards the speed triple, now we would have best of street fighter. Great review 👍👍

[@timfinning]

As always Mr Chop's outstanding review on a fantastic bike.

[@Slodsworth]

Just had my 2013 written off in the ice. Used to having abit of traction control in the wet and this didn't have it. Can't wait to get the 2020 next year

[@DJ-Daz]

I'm loving the review and the 360 camera angles. 360 cams are just so damned versatile.

[@yonniboy1]

I've just bought the 2020 Street Triple R to replace my 2018 R (expecting delivery by the weekend), the main differences apart from the engine tweaks being the quickshifter and auto blipper and scrapping the TFT screen, personally I've found the Triumph TFT a bit mickey mouse and I prefer the analog/digital combo, TBH I'd like a dual analog set up.

[@BernardSolomon]

Lovely sounding machine. And top class review as always. But those eyes, they never grew on me.

[@pablononpicasso1977]

Agreed about those beady little eyes.! I'm looking at customising an 08 Speed Triple that's a bit busted up and putting on a R9T Race Retro style Single lens fairing. Prefer more go with a modern sports engine than the retro twins.

[@mikephillips950]

Remind me of brussel sprouts on there stalks 😄

[@rolandfullthrottle8316]

I love this bike! 😎 Since I did a testride last weekend, I’m thinking of it day and night! It’s very light and nimble, like you said Chops. The quickshifter is amazing and past 6000 revs the Triple really opens up! The exhaust booms when you gun it, it’s egging you on to go faster! Naughty indeed! And those tyres (SuperCorsa) are just a blessing, sticky as hell! And it’s 3500€ cheaper than the previous model ! Damn, I want one so bad 😳 Damn you, Triumph! 😁

[@rknmit]

Sir, how much price in EU

[@rolandfullthrottle8316]

At the moment it’s 11500€... and you get a discount of 5% on the bike and 10% on accessoires 👍 so netto = 10900€ for the RS

[@rknmit]

@@rolandfullthrottle8316 sir, would you recommend Model S or R ? If thinking of reducing budget

[@rolandfullthrottle8316]

Raju Ravi R If you want to pay less but keep the power, get the R (118hp) ! Same engine but little less power. The S is a 660cc with only 95hp. The RS is full power with 125hp but it has all the bells and whistles. I bought the RS some weeks back, it’s amazing!

I have just bought a 2017 street triple RS fully kitted out with Yoshi system and other goodies. OMG what a machine ECU has been re-mapped and it goes like a bloody Rocket, it took me a while to get used t the modes and quick shifter but it's sooooo much fun. 👍🏍️

[@altypeRR]

I loved test riding the old one. Such a great bike and what an amazing noise.

[@laurentpochon9599]

I completely agree. Amazing bike. Really fun to drive. I’m 1m96 tall and 105kg. It drives great up to 130-140kmh, but if I go faster and especially on a bad quality road the bike will start to vibrate a lot and wave. A bit scary. I assume it is due to my size / weight. I replaced it with a streetfighter v4s that is more stable at speed. But for someone of average size / weight, do not hesitate, it is amazing. I recommend the sc project s1 muffler. Amazing combination (but vibrate more)

[@carlton683]

Superb review and great camera angles well impressive 👍

Can you get a speed triple and do a comparison video. I'm undecided between the two. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your videos.

[@roccocarlino067]

I just traded my 2019 Speed Triple RS for the 2020 Street Triple RS. Side by side comparison for over an hour and the Street just beats it in handling & braking every time. Speed Triple is nice and stable on the Motorways whereas the Street is better everywhere else. Depends what you're after, I like the improved midrange of the Street, that did it for me in the end. A true uncomplicated middleweight very smoooooth street fighter.

[@davidjackson9565]

Please do a review like this on the 23! This is the best review I've seen of this bike. The acceleration sound is out of this world. Not sure if it's your camera and audio, or if that is a truer example of what the bike really sounds like. Please review the new one!

Yea you said exactly what I was thinking. That's a get home with your eyes on stalks bike, a bit like the headlights : )

[@bandogbone3265]

You wrung its neck considerably more than other reviewers -- thanks! I shudder to think what you would've done in fairer weather -- probably would've gotten censored by KZbin as "bike review porn"! Much of the riding experience is emotional, and your passion came through in spades. I ride a 2010 Anniversary Speed Triple, which I've "improved", turning it into a "naked Daytona 1050", with clip-on bars, racing rearsets, full exhaust, remap, sliders all-around, and other things. It's still going strong, but as the years go by, I think I'd try a lighter bike, which could well be a Street Triple RS. Also thanks for making sure the engine sound comes through clearly and in sync with the video, which added greatly to the "almost like being there" experience. By the end of the vid, I actually felt some rider fatigue (in a good way), even though I was only watching. Excellent work!

[@chrismurray3198]

Seen it at the bike show and liked it now even more so.

[@ChrisMcEvoy72]

I never even knew I wanted self-cancelling indicators so much! I do now! Game changer..... :D

[@swich.69]

That was a great review! Only criticism, it was released after I went for a demo test ride. Rode one of these on Saturday as part of the Triumph Sydney demo day. I was (a little) late turning up and was first cab off the rank to ride it so had no time to get a run down on the features. Wish I’d known about the quick shifter and had time to fiddle with the TTC and wheelie control. In sport mode it would clutch up and power up wheelie in third gear with ease. I was very surprised that the wind buffeting is far (drastically) less than that experienced on the Tiger Sport. I love my TS but, it ain’t got shit on the Speed Triple for WOW factor!

[@PaulieG1]

Cracking review Chops...... looking forward to seeing you try out the Speed Triple RS? Now that thing is a weapon, 1050 power, single sided bling - very tasty!

Great review, roads looked a bit wet, would be fun to see you ride it on dry roads with suspension setup for you. Will be looking out for that rocket ride and all the other great vids. Cheers!

[@vincentcausey8498]

I must admit I was looking at the Tracer 900 as the best all rounder (single carriageway, dual carriageway, touring). But after seeing this bike - the looks, the engine, the compactness. Did I mention the looks? I am only 5ft 7 so I reckon this would be a good size, and at only 10 stone, there must be enough grunt in that engine for my weight. I would have to put a screen on it though, that's the only thing. I love naked bikes but not at dual carriageway speeds! Great review as always!

[@bruceleong9534]

What a sweet sounding motor. The perfect road bike.

[@iainmacinnes7756]

Really enjoyed this review. I've an RSV4RF which is too much on my local roads, it's the best bike I've ever had by a stretch, but you just can't use it on the highways. So, was considering changing it for either the Tuono or Street RS, but was worried the Street wouldn't have enough grunt.......it seems I needn't worry based on your comments. Booked a test ride !!
