Street Triple RS - MT09 SP - Brutale 800 RR | Ultimate Shootout!!

I've been out with PB & Mr Mcintyre again testing three of the sweetest triples in existence. Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, Mr Ben Rea from the IOM TT none the less and three of the best middleweight nakeds on the planet, let the fun commence!
The full review is in this months copy of PB, found in all good (and bad) newsagents.

Having read a few comments below, there is confusion about the results, so here they are: - Brutale tops out at 152 mph (245kmh) - Qtr Mile 12.1@128, - the Triple RS is 150mph (241kmh) Qtr Mile 11.6@130, and - the MT09 is limited to 129mph (207kmh) Qtr Mile 11.7@129

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks, glad someone was able to listen to the results 👍

[@curiousmind5367]

👍👍👍

[@Chris-bd6uc]

The mt-09 topped out at 140mph tho?

[@aladamson1]

@@Chris-bd6uc on the dash it topped out at 140mph but the data logger said 129mph (start at 8:40 in the video and you'll hear). Sounds like Yamaha limit the bike to 9,000rpm in top. Probably something that a tune could resolve (but realistically who wants to ride a naked above that speed?)

[@512460]

Mt09 limited okay deal breaker. I'll stick with the bmw s1000r😅

[@gbsfzs1302]

No matter how good that Triumph is, I just can't get past those headlights. The thing looks like a house fly.

[@gerisson6]

10:07 those smooth shiftings are so satisfying

[@swansmeister]

You are by far the best and most entertaining bike reviewer on yt.

[@TheLiddleBigChannel]

The MV clutch is like an F1 car's. There's a trick to launching the MVs. Let the clutch out completely at low rpm and roll on hard.

[@scandimc]

I´ve waited so loooong for someone doing this test, finally!

[@husky701rider9]

While these three bikes are considered in the same category their marketed to completely different groups. Personally I think the triumph is the best and most well rounded of the 3. The Yamaha is the most amount of bike for the money and the mv is for people with money who want something a little different and special. All beautiful machines and all great at what they do.

[@padrescout]

Yeah, that sound about right. The Yamaha I'd describe more as "hoon bike, with more engine than chassis for people that just want to go fast and don't care about the overall experience" but what you said sounds way less biased. So I like your way better.

[@husky701rider9]

Charlie I’ll be honest I’m a broke college student so for me the Yamaha is what I’m after. Excitement and fun for the cost. Though I recognize it’s not as nice as the triumph or mv.

[@warrenseiboth3466]

Charlie i have been riding for 40 years i have never laughed and giggled so much on a bike , none of my 25 motorcycles have given me so much fun its like taking a viagra , well done Yamaha

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

I have not ride any of these bikes, but my Ducati Monster 821. I belive its in The same category. I like it a lot. Nice bike with out being to agressive for the road.

[@HaJoSchatz]

How can you shoot like a day's worth of vid without any sensible narration and post it straight on YT? Watching my goldfish for a day is as entertaining...

[@vageliskoios1062]

[@schmeisser0798]

Italy is the nation of art for sure.

[@MrRui33333]

por isso tbm é a que custa mais dinheiro, more and more espensive, more money to buy,.. mt 09 is the best bike for the money

[@MrFurley69]

You spelled shit wrong

[@Filip_Phreriks]

The MV is probably the worst bike of the three but I want it the most :)

[@sn00pgreen]

agreed!

[@Filip_Phreriks]

Miran Kajtna Not in this test it didn't

[@DMurray666]

also the RR is so much more costly and really should be in tested against similar HP machines, so really it didnt do as well as I would have expected....my brothers standard Brutale 800 2017 has been in the shop a few times already with clutch issues and is currently there again, so to hear these guys mention that the clutch is shit did not surprise me...my MT09SP just goes and goes, no issues...and the price difference is huge in Australia and that's for the standard Brutale vs the mt09sp and same goes for the triple mentioned in this test ..its heaps dearer than the 09sp ... I see so many fan boys raging about how their bike is the best.. my opinion, is they are all brilliant and all very different...the MV Agusta800 RR is by far the sexiest hands down and the trumpy is bug eyed ugly...and the looks of the MT09sp is somewhere in the middle ...

[@fyorbane]

Why?

[@joaosoares3719]

Reptilian Overlord That should be MV’s motto! “We’re the worst in our class, but the one you’ll want the most”. They really are beautiful bikes. But once you’ve owned one you’ll never repeat the mistake.

[@mrnice2994]

Why don't they post the results? 0-60? quarter mile? Which bike is faster?

[@Captn_Slow]

Same question here. It's just lazy editing.

[@RevJay_Rides]

Triumph is putting out quality bikes.

[@masterspin7796]

You cant go wrong buying the MV Agusta especially if you like extra attention. It wont matter where you go somebody will approach you to inquire about this strange motorcycle...it also flies!

[@dennism1919]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! What a fantastic place to give your bike some exercise. I could spend a day or two just looking at the aircraft. So, it seems the Triumph reigns supreme in this test! I figured it would. I do love the look of the MV, though. Very sexy beast indeed!

[@cougarlopez]

What's the difference between a brutale and a dragster?

[@tsa567]

Chops, I am loving this team up between you and PB. Had my initial reservations but being able to read the stories in the mag and then get some being the scenes filming of how it all goes together is really excellent!

[@LambChopRides]

Great to hear Tom thanks

[@nokneedownian8521]

That noise from the triumph pure porn

[@paigntonbeach]

Have to laugh at how aggressive some of the comments are , they are all great bikes , they all wheelie , pick the one you like the colour of.

[@juanchopapa3286]

Nice, I and my friends will try this soon. We have, MV Agusta Dragster 800RR, Triumph Street Triple RS, Yamaha FZ09, Ducati Monster 821, Triumph Thruxton, and Ducati Scrambler 800. The fun thing is, we are all beginners.

[@MrRui33333]

although the mt 09 is less powerful, it does very well, as can be seen in the 4-mile at 11.7 sg,.. getting 2nd,.., but the mv augusta is without a doubt the machine of this cc, .. it's really brutal ,.,. and it has an amazing speed,.. in short, they are all good machines, without a doubt,.. I would go with mt 09 , because I like the concept of the mt series ,..and also because it is perhaps the cheapest to maintain ,.. and offers good reliability!!

Triumph Street Triple 👍👍👍

[@robertgagne9355]

I currently have the MV (B3,800RR) and previously had the Triumph (675 R) I have never owned a Japanese bike. I would not hesitate to buy another MV or Triumph again. I have to admit this Yamaha caught my attention. The MV is hard to beat on looks and performance.......

[@xavman1674]

Same for me : i sold my 675 R 2013 for a Brutale 800 standard 2017. Absolutely no regrets.

[@crp110]

Mv nowadays is all good

[@neilcole3406]

God that MV looks super sexy!!

[@lateralus9244]

The question is, did the MT-09 hit 129 mph before the 1/4 mile? And if so, how long before the 1/4 mile was up? This would give some indication as to how much better it would have done. It almost certainly would have taken 1st place because it was right on the coattails of the Street Triple, which was not limited to 129.

[@ninjanelly3506]

Excellent work Chops on a bike you’ve just jumped and on wet track as well and they are seasoned hacks! Roll on part 2 sah! 👍🏻👏😎

[@francodresti612]

Mark Topliss

[@XrNeo]

I love that you have taken the middle weight triples out for a spin. However the poor quarter mile times that you are getting due track conditions, no warm up, too few tries and cold weather are not comparable with how the bikes perform optimally. Any one of them is capable to shaving of a whole second at the 402m line. No real shootout, at least in the vid. But that said, I'm looking forward for the road session. ^^

[@JDoubleOP]

Keep it simple, timesensor in your pocket. Streettriple sounds good btw. I'd choose the MT09SP.

[@potsykate]

I did!

[@AjarnSpencer]

I managed to 150 on the basic Rosso 800 last night on a very bumpy Island road in the south of Thailand. I think it would have gone even faster but it's a dangerous road so I slowed down. So this bike should be able to do a lot more than 156 because my brutale Rosso is the base model, and I can already get 156 out of that on the street, never mind the racetrack and it's not an RR or a dragster

[@enlightenedidiot9552]

How about some conclusions? Serious numbers and opinions, please :)

[@Nofilter1976]

MV - 152 mph max speed, 1/4 mile 128mph. Triumph -149 mph max speed, 1/4 130 mph . MT09- max speed 140mph, 1/4 128 mph.

[@froehlcj]

Spot On!

[@kpat66]

So you rode them in a straight line and nothing else and it's the "Ultimate" shoot out. Was hoping for a real comparison.

[@johnschlesinger2009]

I well remember when I started riding in 1980 reading a road test in Bike magazine called "Sweet and Sour 750s", where they compared the Kawasaki Z750 with another 750 - a Suzuki maybe. The Kwacker did the standing quarter in 12 seconds flat. So, not much progress in terms of the quarter mile!! Probably due to modern emissions requirements.

[@barryroberts2474]

Seems strange Yamaha have the top gear limited at 140 whereas most nakeds seem to go level at 150mph. My MT10 is limited around 150mph.

[@LambChopRides]

Not sure why they do it.. perhaps it gets unstable at higher speed..

[@barryroberts2474]

They used to on the original suspension according to some riders. Not so much on the new SP suspension I would think. 10mph won't make much difference. Who knows?

[@Captn_Slow]

Remove the limiter the MT09 should do over 160 easily.

[@Filip_Phreriks]

But it will wobble like hell if the suspension is as bad as the mt07.

[@ridingwithsam]

Because of the supermoto seating position, and all of your weight on the back wheel, rather than leaning forward and having any weight on the front, the front end gets upset at high speed, and starts to wobble. I don't like taking mine over 100 mph, but that's okay because the torque is unreal.

[@thegolflife7565]

The Street Triple sure doesn’t sound as good as the MV...

[@nemesisabaddon5628]

[@richardjeffray1812]

TOP Work Chops,

[@josephramos980]

The only thing i Don't like with the dragster is the seat was too short. It doesn't fit with the overall looks of the bike

[@exothermal.sprocket]

And this shootout proves the factory bikes are saddled with emissions garbage, the riders don't do drag strip racing, and it's advisable to use duct tape on paint. Yamaha makes 131 bhp (crank) with an ECU flash and full exhaust. Put a Z900 out there with similar tuning, 144 bhp crank. No idea about the MV Brutale having ECU flashes on market.

[@Jayt750]

Ah yes, the glorious B664 and Sibson airfield bends!

[@benjaminlim8759]

so the SP stands for Shit Your Pants?

[@PsychoPaul13]

It’s a pity you had a restricted MT09. An unrestricted one would av blown them all away.

[@fyorbane]

Psycho Paul - It's not restricted. The Yam MT 09 [ALL VERSIONS] make 113 hp [around 105 at the back wheel]. The Striple 765 RS makes around 118 hp at the back wheel. Considerably more. The Z900 and Striple 765 R BOTH make around 112 at the back wheel. The MV 800 RR 140 hp at the crank [claimed]. So you see sunshine it lacks top end compared to the others. The Yams strength is it's low and mid-range which is better than the RS and MV.

[@PsychoPaul13]

Boz there’s a rev limiter on 5th and 6th gears which restricts it to 139 mph. Have the ecu flashed and it will do 151.

[@Surpriseify]

Lmao Paul

[@showpuebla]

MT-09 is very unstable at higher speeds. Maybe it's kinda "repaired" with SP suspensions, but still has no chance against the Street on curves. Had the MT-09, now I have the Street, and DAMN... I want that sexy italian... It's the never ending game xD (Sorry my english)
