I enjoyed this video more because I got to see what Japan looks like...

[@WilliamInJP]

Thanks, more to come for sure

[@2yStar]

Thanks for your feedback.

[@WilliamInJP]

No problem, cheers!

[@ItsYaBoiJim]

Great review William, not sure if you mentioned it, but what are your opinions on the fuel economy/range?

[@WilliamInJP]

Manageable, it was around 17km/L for my Hokkaido trip. Gives me roughly 240km per tank

[@TIMHARTTT]

Wow that’s pretty good for me tbh.

[@spybeef]

Hi! Great video! I live in Tokyo, happy owner of a speed twin 1200 from 2019. I have been considering a yellow RS but having a second bike sounds ludicrous since I don’t want to sell the twin. Looks like so much fun though… I haven’t been able to make up my mind for over a month now 😂

[@WilliamInJP]

Depends on what do you want? If you really want a revy sport naked, make the switch!

[@jonobester5817]

I will own a Triple, one day. What a bike. Wow.

[@massimobroccoli9854]

I have the same as you, 7500 km ! Great review ! At 5000 km my distribution chain starts to rattle at cold start .

[@WilliamInJP]

A quick adjustment and clean should do the trick!

[@massimobroccoli9854]

@@WilliamInJP Timing chain adjustment ?

[@WilliamInJP]

@@massimobroccoli9854 my bad, missed “distribution” in your last comment. Forget the clean and adjust then, frankly speaking I don’t have a clue why it will rattle at such low mileage.

[@massimobroccoli9854]

@@WilliamInJP Its only for one second by a cold engine not when he is warm , annoying !

[@joeloutofoffice]

Great video William, thanks! Would you be able to make a comment on the riding comfort on longer trips with the clip-ons? I'm wondering how much the difference is between the RS with the handlebars and the moto2 edtition!

[@WilliamInJP]

There is a Hokkaido trip series on the channel. Did over 2,000 km in a week, I think that says it all! Manageable? Definitely, but also 100% more uncomfortable than the Rs

[@yonniboy1]

How are the super corsa's faring? are they close to needing replaced, I've got an RS but I'm changing to Rosso 4s as they're better suited to the UK winter.

[@WilliamInJP]

Lots of tread left, but they are starting to feel dodgy with lower temperatures. Am considering to replace them too

[@rl_31123]

How does it compare to the Honday CBR1000 Neo?

[@WilliamInJP]

I suspect you mean the CB1000R? Very different. Way lighter and easy to turn, frame is definitely stiffer, and in my opinion more fun to ride.

[@rl_31123]

@@WilliamInJP sorry, yes CB1000R. Which do you prefer?

[@WilliamInJP]

@@rl_31123 Definitely the street triple

[@rl_31123]

Amazing, thank you!@@WilliamInJP

[@matthewsmith7628]

Any comparison notes on rider triangle for the Street Triple vs the 950s? Lean angle, hips, knees, wrists?

[@WilliamInJP]

Street Triple comes with lower clip ons, higher pegs definitely more wrist pressure, hip-wise manageable in my opinion

[@graysonwolf1216]

Agree with your nitpicks especially the TFT dash. The one from my 2017 RS was so much better. I would add another one - the fact that the exhaust is one piece from headers to outlet so it's not possible to add a slip on without replacing the headers. Annoying. BUT, that said, it's an incredible looking bike that handles so, so well that I can forgive it almost anything.

[@WilliamInJP]

Agreed, great bike over all. Exhaust-wise, since swapping them in Japan just cause you more problems then benefits I am actually quite ok with it, looks nice too.

[@jonobester5817]

Is there a positive aspect about the poor turning diameter? Better overall handling?

[@WilliamInJP]

Unfortunately nothing noticeable

[@johnhilliard2273]

You can setup the revs to show above the speedo in number form. That’s what I did.

[@WilliamInJP]

unfortunately no, that’s only available before the 2020 version

[@johnhilliard2273]

@@WilliamInJP I have the 2022 765RS. Maybe it's just on certain style screens that it will show.

[@WilliamInJP]

@@johnhilliard2273 That's news to me, great for the 2022! I did check for the designs on my dash and unfortunately they are all in the butterfly style or a design that the rev counter comes towards you, and agian, not great =(

[@johnhilliard2273]

@@WilliamInJP I made a short on my channel showing what I mean. Hopefully I did it right.

@@johnhilliard2273 Ahh, in numbers I see., now I get it. True that can help!

Looking to get a street triple but im 5ft4in and im older, how tall are you

[@WilliamInJP]

5’7, both feet can stay flat on the ground

[@saddle8bag]

Where did you find topbox/brackets for it? What kind is it?

[@WilliamInJP]

SW Motech rack + adapter and Givi box

[@MrApplebumPS]

Not necessary to go through all this work to clean your chain. It can be done much easier 😂

[@WilliamInJP]

Welp I like to keep it clean.

[@robertbieganski8143]

How to compare this bike to japanese bikes?

[@WilliamInJP]

Which ones?

[@robertbieganski8143]

@@WilliamInJP Mt 09?

[@WilliamInJP]

Very different. One of my riding buddies is on a ‘22 MT09 and the engine has a lot more torque and has a sharper throttle. The seating position however is too relaxed in my opinion, very upright with high bars. It comes down to preference I think.

[@rtcivic]

whats the top speed on these bikes?

[@WilliamInJP]

need a long straight to find out😂

[@mark222b]

i see japan also has graffiti

[@WilliamInJP]

Definitely, but a fair bit less
