2021 Triumph Street Triple R Review | Daily Rider

[@RevZilla]

Read Lance’s Street Triple RS first-ride article here: rvz.la/35ISpyH Addendum: Zack said the up-spec RS has Öhlins suspension. What he meant is an Öhlins shock and an upgraded Showa fork. Don't worry, he has been docked a week's pay for his error.

[@hugovinicius2068]

As a channel called RevZilla can we do a "Rev limiter" sound test???? Thanks, mates

[@saiphul]

Is the Showa fork upgraded on the RS? Seems like the same unit as the R on the Triumph website spec sheet.

I am 65 and had the Diablo red 2015 675 that triple engine is a masterpiece and the handling is second to none 👍 stay safe 🙌🙌🙌

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

What's cool about the new R models, is that you can unlock the top end power of the RS model, with TuneECU. The new bikes use the same motor, same cam, same fuel and ignition tables, etc... They hold the R's top end power back using restrictions on the ETV(Electronic Throttle Value) tables. When you twist the throttle to 100%, it gives you 100% but only to 7000rpm... and 7,000rpm the ECU dials it back to 80%, no matter how much you twist the throttle. You can change that in TuneECU and get back that missing power in minutes... Just change those tables to 100% all the way to redline. Instant RS power output. You lose no no end or midrange, and you just gain top end power... The first gen 765's had different tunes and cam profiles... The 2020+ models have identical motors, and they create different power profiles between the R and RS with ETV values, that you can easily change.

[@ryansadler696]

is that something you can do at home, or is it recommended to have mechanic do

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

@@ryansadler696 Your dealer won't do it. They don't have the tools to do it. You need an Android device, an app called TuneECU and a bluetooth adapter... But it's pretty easy to do. Plenty of online tutorials, including on my channel.

When will you guys get the triumph trident to review?

[@Gunne.r]

This comment is late to the game but I bought a 2019 Striple R as a leftover in December 2020 and just got past the 1000 mile break in. I have seen several reviews of this bike (Tons more of the RS, of course.) I have not really seen it said although there is an undercurrent hinted at how much more power this bike delivers north of 9000 rpm. I was passing a car with the bike in third gear at 45 to 50 mph and it revved out to 90 mph in third to pass (on track of course) what nobody mentions is how this bike goes from fast to INSANELY FAST north of 9000 rpm. I loved it, and now you know, if you didn't already know.

[@johnreggie7797]

It’s so fun in the twisties, I just keep it in 3, keep those revs up and it’s an amazing feeling!

[@detricklowe624]

Love the review. I just purchased one of these. I traded in my GSXS S750. Here are my thoughts. The Good: Plenty of linear torque as compared to my 4 Cylinder GSXS. A decent top end as well. I love the stock quick shifter. It can be a little clunky between 1st and 2nd tho. Occasionally during downshifts as well. Comfortable. I purchased the Low version of the bike and I rode it 3.5 hours to home. Stopped for gas once and food once. I then rode another hour to a friend's place after I rested for a bit. And an hour back afterwards. Light and east to maneuver. It loves to lean, makes you feel very confident in the corners. I actually like this display with the tachometer more than the current STR's screen. The shift lights really give it some personality. The bike is good looking. A lot more customization options than my 09 Street Triple I had a while ago. Not as much as a Suzuki, but a comfortable amount. The Bad. It vibrates more than I thought it would through the handlebars. I'm going to invest in weighted bar ends The suspension is spectacular, but it needs to be set up properly. A little more time and effort but well worth it. My GSXS was good out of the box, but thats because it was setup generically to fit most people. I believe the previous owner to my STR was about 120lbs. The mirrors move. I actually like the stock mirrors, I've had bar ends before and I don't like to worry about breaking something squeezing through traffic or destroying one of the $200 set of mirrors in the parking lot over a simple drop. However, this is a 2021 model. The mirrors shouldn't move so much under acceleration.

[@VibhorWase]

I'm into the habit of pulling the clutch to start the engine in every bike. I have Honda now.. even when it's on neutral. I usually park in first gear to avoid the bike from slipping away.

[@SuperSpruce]

As the owner of a 2012 Street Triple R, this review shows why I got one. Great all-around bike.

[@JK-tu1xx]

A couple notable points of comparison between the 675 and 765 would involve things like the cable vs electronic throttle (as mentioned), seating position change from the model updates (2006-2012, 2013-2016, and the 765 all have different seating position triangles) if only slightly in some instances. The main difference was the change from the 2016 to 2017 where the seat went from the traditional street triple sub frame style to the rx sub-frame style off of the daytona 675r. In the 2013-2016 model years they had a much tighter seat bottom to peg leg range but you sat further down in the bike and in the 2006-2012 range they were exceptionally more roomy while also sitting lower with less peg clearance. The intake whine also changed with the revision from the 675 to 765 substantially, on the 675 engines it sounds much more like a carnal kind of mechanical gear growl that makes itself very present and often overtakes the engine note up until that 6500 RPM sweetspot where the engine roars to life whereas the 765 engines are much more muted with intake whine and sound significantly more like a 4 cylinder down low up until they hit that 6-7000 RPM range. Either way you can't really go wrong with either of the engines, even the much older models had pedigree put into them. I'm biased towards the 675 due to the intake whine it puts out, reminds me of a race car with straight cut gears when I ride around at slow speeds and it's just a really fun little nuance to mess around with. I even took a Dremel tool and opened the intake grate up a bit to let some extra noise out and air in for more noise, the triple whistle lives on.

[@Lynxtro]

Does the 765 have more or less leg room than the 13-16 675?

[@JK-tu1xx]

@@Lynxtro To be honest it's difficult to say definitively, leg room isn't really a measurement and it's all about how long your legs are really. I'm 6'1 and my 675 has plenty of leg room but it's still an aggressive kick back and up so anything over 2 hours and my legs really start to get annoyed. I've been on a 765 and it was pretty comparable, maybe a slightly better knee bend angle due to the additional seat height but the pegs were a bit more canted forward and felt slightly further back due to where I was sitting on the seat.

[@Lynxtro]

@@JK-tu1xx Thank you for the insight. I agree with you about the engine sound, the 675 has a far more dynamic sound.

I personally much prefer the analog dash over TFT. Analog feels much more classy than the cheap to make TFT.

[@esprokr99]

Wholeheartedly agree. I much prefer the dash on my 13 Striple over my 17 Duke 390.

[@treemium1467]

I agree for a tach, but TFT allows for some nice things like navigation or bluetooth controls. Would be great to have a TFT side by side with an analog tachometer.

[@AOL0321]

Zach The other reason to get the 765 engine over the 675, is that the new 765 runs cooler, because of a lower compression ratio. I had a 2013 Street Triple S 675, and during a hot day at a stoplight, you would see that temp gauge creep up to 9 clicks. I did like the riding position of the old 675 better though, as you sat more down into the bike, not on top like with the 765.

[@Sg-ci4kp]

You can turn it off at Stoplight. I learned it in driving school

“Traction control is for safety” After having it stop the back end of my bike stepping out too far at coughahemninetyahemcough, yes, yes it is

[@petef.4688]

I pull the clutch on my sportster every start up . Its habit from my learner virago250 but, its also a good practice incase your in gear you don't put so much compression into that first stroke.

[@elstoof]

My bike just won't start if it's in gear, seems to make more sense that way

[@tejaspadhye]

all bikes after 2014 atleast would have that safety feature to not start in gear unless clutch is pulled :/

[@mwjd58]

I thought having to pull in clutch before starting was standard, maybe until more bikes had a gear sensor to negate the need. First bike I know didn't have one was my 2019 790. But having got into the habit I may have ridden bikes that didn't need it. My 2011 Speed Triple definitely needed it, and a 2008 Aprilia, and I think as far back as an '82 Honda I owned. It's nice to be able to start the bike before finishing getting geared up, though.

Re: whether the ST3 R is too raw for commuting, I can say I spent a year commuting on a 2018 ST3 R~30 miles (45-60 minutes) each way, mix of highway and city streets and rain or shine, and it handled it great. Especially in sport mode the power's there if you ask the bike for it, but it's also totally happy just cruising along.

[@saha6818]

I found myself grinning like an idiot while watching this. Which is exactly what I do when I ride my Daytona 600. So I think you do a great job demonstrating the new bike. Thanks!

[@Im_George]

I bought this bike in May 2020. My first time going outside the Japanese brands. If it wasn't for the 2 year warranty, idk if I'd buy a Triumph, especially after being known for having bad quality many years ago. But I was looking for something light and a tiny bit more upright. I have to agree with the comment about the screen on the RS. At least for 2020 models, it was soo hard to see. Tons of people online have the same complaint. Otherwise I would've maybe gotten the RS. However the R didn't come without its own issue. Triumph sold the R with missing rider modes that took months for them to put in. The manual also advertises self-canceling turn signals for the R, but they're never going to that. Other than that, I find getting into neutral doesn't always work. Or the computer doesn't register it quick enough it and tells you you're in 1st or 2nd, then 2 seconds later says neutral. So, really it seems the R has had software issues since I've owned. Otherwise I really like the light weight, the power and handling. It's like it increases confidence beyond what you thought you were at. Physical issues I have is handle vibration, such as in the video. I never like to ride on the interstate because of it. And many riders reported no kind of accessories seem to help the issue. My mirrors are completely useless. Also speaking of interstate, I'd recommend getting a windshield. Past 70 or so, I'm feeling pressure on the helmet. I let it rip before on the open road and I felt my already secure helmet start choking me. Just waiting for a windscreen to be available. Also note, no cheaper accessories for this bike yet. They're all on the previous years

[@AOL0321]

I'm on my third year with my 18' Street R, and the bike is so reliable and just an awesome ride. If I had to pick one weakness, it's the seating position. On my 13' Street S 675, you sat down lower into the bike and it inspired more confidence in it's handling. This one is exactly as Zach states, where you sit on top of the bike, which does not inspire confidence to push the bike in turns.

[@r56mini]

But what is the main purpose of these fast naked bikes? They are uncomfortable at freeway speeds and too fast for in town riding... How do you use yours mostly? Thanks.

[@AOL0321]

@@r56mini I actually commute to work on it most of the time. I bought some Hepco and Becker hard side cases for it and when I have time off on the weekends, I'll sneak in a day trip here and there. Don't get me wrong, it's not a crotch rocket seating position by any means, but it's not the upright position of say the Tracer 900 or Multistrada. I think my riding needs and desires are changing as I approach 60, as I'm really looking at a Sport Tourer next, such as the Tracer 900 GT or Multistrada. The Street 765 is the ultimate commuting machine though, being quick and light!

[@Tony2x67]

I got the '19 R that came with the TFT and I agree with Zach, its super easy to use and easy to see. At 5' 10" with a 30" inseam I have no problem flat-footing this bike. I test rode the LRH because I have a short inseam and it felt like I was sitting in the bike instead of on the bike. I opted to add the bar-end mirrors and ditch the bunny ears. Only point where I disagree with Zach is riding mode. I typically leave it in sport. The throttle seems less "twitchy" ironically enough. Other than that, I think he nailed this review.

[@cfltitan]

I agree 100%! I’m the same height and inseam and I went with the LRH version. Mines a 2018 but still the same. We got the good years that still had the TFT and the nice Brembo radial master cylinder. I also installed bar ends. With the factory mirrors I could only see my elbows and the left one, no matter how much I tightened it down, would fold back over 100 and I’d have to straighten it back out after I slowed down again. That was super annoying. I usually stay in rider mode which I have set to all sport settings and TC disabled.

[@pontoon_cat]

You can tell how comfortable Zach is on this bike. In all the Daily Riders, he has never taken both hands off the handlebars as much as he has with this bike. Pretty much ever part where he is coasting and explaining, he's using two hands to do it, lol.

[@douglasalexander4348]

Great review. I thought riding both, that the ‘simpler’ R model had more compliant suspension over the rs which was stiff for riding our less than perfect uk roads. I also prefer the needle Rev counter to tf. What you also get on the 2020 R is an array of blue neons on taco, as a gear change indicator, which you can set to light up at the revs you want. Mines at 9. I also preferred the less cool mirrors, only just wider than the bars. The bar end stick out way to far when filtering and blur more. Fuelling is super smooth compared to some bikes I tried.

No TFT screen? I mean... I love the clock better. But I though all the modern Street line had tft. Edit: OOOOOOh! So, reading, Triumph got rid of S model and mixed some of the low parts of the S with some of the high of the R, including the price. ok.

[@Keka-vg3ut]

Not really the s model now is mainly for European A2 license holders as it has a max of 95 hp and can be downgraded to the 48 hp limit for that license. The r still has the same equipment as the old r only not the radial master cylinder and the TFT which is good actually because in my opinion the new TFT is garbage it's cool standing still but terrible to read during riding they should get back to the outgoing TFT style. Plus the new r also gets the blipper as standard

[@meetalhoomeez]

Would love to see a daily rider on the updated z900 as well, especially how it compares to the street triple.

[@paulwilliam55]

I have a Street Triple R 675. The only weakness it has as a daily rider is that first gear is a bit too high for a commuter, so it needs a lot of clutch slippage at slow speeds. Other than that, it is an absolutely fantastic all round bike.

[@AOL0321]

That reader who said the TFT display was rubbish, was correct. I miss that old half analog/half digital tach on my old 675!

[@AndyThirtover]

Sir, the RS stands for 'Refined Sophistication' in the UK, it is sold to ladies and older gentlemen - this is why the exhaust note has the polite sound in the lower rev range. The higher pegs are required for the tighter corners. I have owned a number of these - I preferred the round headlights. Around 12,500 rpm some laws of physics may need redefinition.

[@lasserasmussen5522]

I've been a fan of yours for years. Best comments, best in depths explanations, best humor. Keep it up Zack! Would love to see you on another triple like the Brutale (where the gear lever doesn't fall off) 🤣

Great video and I agree with every point you make. I have a 2018 striple R so I’m lucky that I got the one before they really cheaped out on it and got rid of a couple very nice features. I love the TFT display and I’m glad mine has the radial master cylinder. I came from a fairly modded Yamaha FZ8 that I bought new and put 24,000 miles on in 5 years. I loved that bike and it did everything very well but there’s just no comparison to my street triple R. This bike is just in a whole different category.

Ok, so now that you've reviewed the middleweight naked bike at the high end of the price spectrum.

I'm curious to see how you guys feel the bikes stack up to each other. The GIXXUS seems to get very favorable reviews but always with the caviat "for the price". I'm just wondering if you guys think that the performance of the Street Triple is that much better than the GIXXUS to warrant the much bigger price tag.

Locally but probably nationally as well Triumph has discounts on most models. You can get the r for $9k and the RS for $11k pretty good deal. I just bought my first bike in 17 years this week. 2017 BMW R NineT too bad it's winter....

[@barrykery1175]

I have to agree with Symon, the headlight is ugly ! Looking at it head on is ok, but from the side it looks like it's hanging way out too far. It needs to come back more and I think it also needs a short windshield. Even a small 6 to 8 inch, slanted back windshield would make the head light dash assembly look a lot better. Maybe just extend each side to cover the brackets that hold the assembly to the triple tree? Nice bike. Thanks for the informative well done video. Barry

[@nottawaygarage3683]

I'm a little late to the party, but this bike has really been on my mind lately. I've been hustling a Speed 400 around for a few months, and I love it absolutely. However, I yearn for a little more oomph and ability on the highways and interstates I travel on my 78 mile daily commute. The 400 is capable but after 40 miles my ass hurts, and I feel like I'm ringing the neck of that little 398cc single. The 765 checks almost all of the boxes for features I want for an upgrade. It also looks fantastic, but not as soulful or classy like a T100 or 120. Entirely different bikes obviously. My analog attitudes are clashing mightily with modern esthetics. Because its a Triumph though, I'm inclined to venture into the future. This video absolutely answered all of my questions, and Zach's personal approach as nudged me further off the fence into the saddle of the 21st century. Kudos Daily Rider.

I loved your review I'm currently commuting daily on my 21 Trident 660 but when it's time for a change I will 100% get a new Street Triple RS. I also was of the opinion that the Red one was the best color but I've now changed my mind & love the Yellow. Keep up the great reviews mate.

[@stephensmith6599]

Looking forward to the reviews of the new Triumph Speed Triple and Aprilia Tuono 660.

[@motodrummer2118]

I came to the Street after totaling my CBR500R and my pelvis. Probably the best thing to happen to me in awhile lol! LOVE the Street

[@ShufflePetro]

I just bought this bike and it's truly an amazing experience

[@andreasbeaufort3594]

What happened to the cheap/expensive/dorky/cool graph? Bring that back, please! And thanks for another excellent video!

[@RB-po4ce]

Hi Zack from a 2014 STR rider. Bring back the graph!

[@rd998lc]

ive owned both bikes 675 and 765 r ,i sold the 765 r and kept the 675 2009 although not as powerful but i can ride it faster because it has a much better throttle and better gearing much smoother ride and the chassis is much looser and lighter and it back fires off throttle ,765r hated the tft screen and throll hard rigid ride kind of on and off throttle

[@paulconnell1309]

Thanks again. Bought a low milage 2020 Street Triple R today. Cool!

[@cainnechsolo4959]

What a sublime bike for a biker noob like me! Got it 3 weeks ago. Super love this bike.

[@humandroid53]

Nice but the problem with the lights is not their shape but how much they stick out. Gotta love a triple!

[@RaijinTheThunder]

I've seen the Street Triple with the round headlight mod. That's the money

[@krunchie101]

If I was triumph I'd have an OEM conversion kit.

[@LorenzoMiguelVillalon]

Love the u-turn test, but missing the graph!

[@kawabungah20]

Nice review! I'm really warming up to the Triumph Triples after watching all those reviews and listening to Spurge, Zack and Ari talk about the beauty of three cylinders. My pick will be the 900 GT Pro.

[@currypuff747]

I love these, thanks Zach and Revzilla! I'd also like to see the KTM 890 Duke R too

[@Waldo25m]

Love the headlights on my 2012 street triple r! Ha. No rider aids, no abs raw and fun.

[@billstanden]

The design of the headlight from the front is fine, but it somehow looks so far pushed forward from the side that it’s almost got this weird praying mantis head thing going on. It’d look so much better if they could package it so it mounted back like half an inch

[@ejseda6546]

Love your videos! Keep them coming.

[@ahhhhchoo]

Hey Zack, I'd really appreciate your impressions of a Multistrada 950s. Seems like it's perpetually overlooked.

[@TRexHeliPilot]

Great video....I'm sitting on the fence between the Striple R and Hondas CB1000R. My commute is over Ortega HWY every day so it's the luck of the draw on what you get. On bad days we average 35-45 mph which turns my R1 into a midevil torture rack inside of a 250 degree oven! Therefore I'm looking for a real commuter with sporting potential. Have you guys done or thought about doing a daily ride for the Honda CB1000R?

[@Jon1998109]

upset that the graph is gone, bring it back it was a good addition !

[@gwwayner]

Great review! I have a 2010 Triumph 675 STR with lots of mods (Arrow 3-1 , Ohlins shock with linear linkage, quickshifter etc) and now with 60000 kms on it just finished complete servicing. Love the new bike but let me tell you that the chrome roundies are way cooler looking when you are sitting on the bike than the new black plastic ones. No need to buy the new bike cos mine has close to 100 hp at the rear wheel and barely weighs 400 lbs gassed up. Still rips on the backroads and the handling is effortless. Those Nissin 4-pot radial brakes will howl the front tire with one finger on the lever.

[@Professor_Carl_Satan]

Headlight assembly: F U G L Y A F Love the Daily Rider vids, though!

[@dirtbikesicehockey4788]

You know Zac is having fun when he cracks the throttle and you hear him laugh

[@davidkeith3920]

Glad to see Daily Rider getting back to actual daily ride bikes.

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

9:05 I have the RS version (and I love it by the way) and I agree, those bar end mirrors look nice and work well, however, they make the bike 5 or 6 inches wider. I bought the Street Triple explicitly to filter So Cal traffic so I ditched the cool bar end mirrors in favor of having a skinnier bike. Great, review, thanks!

[@clawhammer704]

I had years ago a Yamaha 750 triple. It was a great rider. This bike motor reminds me a lot of it with the same triple sound. I had a Kerker exhaust on it.

[@CubanRider]

So, so close to buying this bike. The 890r edged it out just slightly and that's what I bought, but lots of love for the STR.

[@Salami_Scrambler]

Zack since you did an RZ350, I would love if you could find a Suzuki RE-5 Rotary. You have a wonderful way of describing a motorcycle’s experience, and it would be great to get that same level of commentary on oddball vintage bikes!

[@caryd67]

Um, my old school DR requires you to pull the clutch lever to start the bike, as with all relatively modern Suzukis’

[@nickthesurfer]

Cheers man. This review tipped me over into buying one. The CB650R comment was the deal maker (and opted for bar end mirrors 😉). I’m not a huge fan of the lights but I’m sure they’ll win me over in the end.
