6 Things To Know BEFORE You Buy A Triumph Street Twin!

[@tomjiunta1580]

I love my 2017 ST. With over 20,000 miles I've taken this bike all around the US with never a problem. Just a blast to ride!

[@civetricamoto]

was it your first bike mate ?

[@tomjiunta1580]

@@civetricamoto No I have had several bikes since I was young and had a Kawasaki vulcan for 5 years before the Triumph. At 67 I have been riding off and on since I was in my teens.

[@Peter-vi3sx]

Cool. I've got a 2017 ST as well and love how it handles both in the city I live in and out on country roads. Smooth riding with plenty enough power. I've also had not one problem yet with any of the mechanics or features. The bikes good looks gets me lots of compliments too.

I bought the first street twin when it came out, wanted a fun easy calm bike. Did a few tweaks changed the front springs to progressive springs also changed to Sintered HH Front Brake Pads and a x-pipe exhaust conversion. It was the single front disc brake that I felt bad about the most, however the sintered pads made a good improvement. I would have liked to upgrade to the Speed Twin unfortunately I didn't have the dosh after a drop in wages :-)

the best sounding Triumph at the moment - spot on Rob!

[@sscbkr48]

Then there's the incredible sounding 1975 T120 Bonneville the lemon drizzle gang featured.. 😍

[@TheTwinPost]

Finally someone said it.... I too personally find this 900cc twin to be the best sounding from Triumph (even better than their 1200 for sure). Great video Bob 🙌

[@motobob]

Cheers TP!

[@jaxmckenna3230]

It's still amazes me that Triumph didn't cash in on making a Bobber 900, especially with the ability to do your A2 restriction for learners in the UK.

[@John-by6jw]

I just picked up my 2022 Street Twin, it sounds AMAZING!!! It's the first bike I've owned that I don't want to change the exhaust. And I've owned more than a few bikes.

[@kshred3043]

Nah. The 'best sounding from Triumph' was the 1973 Daytona 500 cc with 360° crank and Dunstall aftermarket exhausts. I should know. I owned one. 🙂

[@ClipperUK2008]

My ST has done nigh on £20k miles now in 4 yrs without a single issue. I am also 6ft 2 and feel fine on it - but I have the alternate bench seat which adds a few mm and I suffer with a fairly short 32 in inside leg which I guess "helps". I did go back to the stock seat and it did feel a bit odd after the bench seat so that might be an option to add a few mm/change riding position. I used to ride in the early 2000s when I passed my test but stopped in about 2009 when I came back to it in 2017 I checked out a few and the ST just ticked all the boxes and was easy to ride. All in all its been a great bike, I keep it outside under a cover and barely any rust after 4 yrs, the headlight bezel has rust which is annoying but easily replaced. There are now other realistic options out there like the Royal Enfield Interceptor so it is worth riding a few. As for me I will keep the ST but am thinking of adding a Trident for a bit of extra zip and fun OR a new TIger Sport 660 for more comfy touring with a bit more zip :D

[@MichaelWilliams-jc2ui]

Tec in the uk do a great set of alloy foot pegs plus a neat dropper bracket. This drops the pegs by 25-30mm these coupled to Triumphs King and queen seat (15mm additional height) makes my T100 a very comfortable mile muncher. If you don’t like the look of the seat cover it with a Cool Cover £75 or cheap Chinese copy for about £15 on eBay.

[@dandoii]

Just ordered one yesterday.. you’re right quite literally my first big bike

[@StreetTwinRider]

Agreed on all accounts. My ST will remain in the stable for the rest of time providing nothing happens to it. Only gripes I have are the front Brembo squeaks which is slightly annoying and the lack of 6th gear for motorway speeds. But as a bike for commuting and bombing around the lanes... perfection. Perfect balance of torque and power, it sounds great, it looks great and there are a metric f-tonne of aftermarket parts for it. Great bike!

[@motobob]

Oof the aftermarket and customisation potential is a good one - I should have included that...

[@troydavenport9244]

Nah triumph actually have standards when building and detailing bikes. Royal Enfield do the bare minimum. The welds are of a very low standard, good penetration wise, but visually very poor. Any visible welds need to be pleasing to the eye. That's the only quality control metric preventing them from being truly competitive with Triumph.

[@richardsinger6190]

I have a 2020 T120 Diamond Edition and the second I started it up I knew I had to change the exhaust. Since it is a LE also, I wanted to keep the look and to my pleasant surprise I found some Vance and Hines peashooters! Unfortunately, once I put these on, the change was negligible, even after removing the dB killers, so I went back to the dealer, hat in hand, and asked them to install an X pipe. Now she's talking!

[@patthewoodboy]

the spark plug caps both started arching to the cylinder head , replaced with NGK ones , you need to retain the original rubber parts so they fit OK. This is the only issue after 6 years

I loved riding the street twin I borrowed. It felt light and cheerful and torquey. But I used to own a 790 bonneville and although that felt heavier, it also felt faster than the street twin. And the old GS500 I own now, although it's got no torque low down, will really rev and feels stronger than the street after 60mph and will easily pull 90+ (on a private road). I love the street twin but I REALLY don't think it's £9000 worth of bike!

Nice video and timely reminder why I still have my 2017 ST and why I should keep it . The benefits are smiling every time I get on it and listen to the soundtrack and how much fun it is to ride . The seat height and mirrors were the biggest issue for me but easily remedied but swapping to a bench seat and bar end mirrors. I would like to have slightly more power and brakes with a bit more bite but the bike handles beautifully and great for B roads and light for city riding.

The only thing going for it is it's new and liquid cooled. The aircooled Bonnevilles are just as good. If you go for a Bonneville the only ones are the Speed Twin, and any 1200.

[@springerbens9306]

I agree at some points but in my opinion the street twin is not the best sound in triumph lineup, the street scrambler sound is more aggressive and clean. Street twin is really a very low bike, the lowest in boneville lineup except for the bobber, this is good but you need to be careful sometimes, I trade my street twin for a street scrambler because the twin was too low.

Looks great, there’s no disputing it! Not really on my radar… but I’d have to argue that £9k is not a minor amount (the ‘limited’ nature of this model) still does not justify the price. Although, it’d be fair to say that the entire Bonneville range is overpriced by varying degrees. I love my T120 it’s a great bike, but it was far from perfect and Triumph really should be putting better quality components on when fast approaching, and exceeding £10k! (think shocks… and brakes)! Great overview Bob, thanks 👍🏻

[@jwayne347]

What about reliability and known issues, recalls? I heard about wiring harness problem on 2019-2020 models, how bad was it? And was there anything else?
