The new king of nakeds? 2023 Triumph Street Triple RS review

[@tlong9812]

Rodie. Get it. In yelllow for sure. Just picked up my moto2 in yellow. It. Is. Fantastic. And i love the dash. But I’m weird that way.

[@timrodierides]

Enjoy! Quite envious of your Moto2!

[@ryanstevens7900]

I agree , I like the dash as well

[@QuickRipzz]

How much more worth it is the moto 2 version over the rs???

[@marcusrichardson3472]

My old 675 is the only bike I ever regretted selling. Going to get a test ride on this and see if I can make space for it in my fledgling fleet. Awesome review, and the film quality was more than fine for me… cheers

[@ZeeBri]

I agree with this review. Only thjng is, after a twiddle with the suspension it's also amazing on track and don't worry about your mates on 1000's leaving you... You'll get them under breaks or in the corners!

[@neilbenton1152]

I've just purchased the moto2 in yellow!! I'm so impressed with it I can't stop looking at it it's a stunning bike , your correct about the dash it's pants so I don't even look at the revs anymore , I had a 1200 rs last year unbelievably fast but so harsh on England's shite roads it didn't last long with me , the streets finish is unbelievable its comfortable it's so pretty it makes my BMW 1250 gs feel & look like a tractor ❤

[@andrewprice1189]

I have a moto2 in white, agree the dash is shite in any of the 4 screens but everything else is amazing. Hopefully as Triumph listen to customers they will change the dash to a simple round tacho with speed & gear indicator in middle

[@nanaholic01]

The rev counter issue is so overblown. After 2 months/800miles of riding and following the breaking in period rev-limit you can tell exactly where the rev range is by the sound of the engine and you don't need it anymore. The speedo is the one I need more cos otherwise I'm constantly speeding but wouldn't know it as the bike is so smooth and stable.

[@Cartsp70]

@@andrewprice1189How is the Moto 2 riding position? Are you ulength forward. Lent forward?

[@mrmike9821]

How do you not have at least 300k subs? Your reviews are awesome!

[@timrodierides]

Aww thanks! I'm not sure, but I'm in this for the long-haul and just chipping away and trying not to be a clickbaity KZbin drone 🤣

[@Cartsp70]

Hey 👋🏽 Tim guess what? …

[@Cartsp70]

@@timrodierides I had a tea long demo on this yesterday and what an absolute masterpiece, the ONLY niggle I have is such a minor one but it’s important… the brake and gear lever pedals are literally underneath the bike 😂!! Would take getting used to but as always THE ENGINE THE ENGINE THE ENGINE!! It’s just amazing 🤩!

[@troppo4872]

Very good, no BS review, thanks. I owned a ST 675R with the lovely Arrow low pipe. This tempts me, although I do love the 890 Duke....

[@guusvanrees-old]

Amazing video! Your style is very funny & interesting to watch. Keep it up!

[@technohamster4783]

Ive just done the run in service on mine and its such a fun bike, its hilarious. Ive also come down from litre bikes and its as different to use as 8 wanted. Love it. Oh had to set the suspension as it wasnt set as it was supposed to be from the factory.

[@SpecialC2474]

I love it in red. Going to check one out in the metal today. This might be the only bike that could make me trade my paid off FZ

[@helgejohan3604]

Looks great in red🔥🔥✊

[@davidebbs2797]

Marvellous review Sir, just wonder why they couldn't have put the Speeds TFT on the Street? Keep up the great work 💪😎

[@timrodierides]

I'm not sure! To be fair, I don't really like the Speed's screen either… the graphics are a bit laggy, changing menus takes too long etc.

[@Cartsp70]

Brilliant video Tim as always and with the enthusiasm and alacrity that we’ve come to know and love, so right here’s the thing… I had the speed triple Rs 1200, and sold it back to the dealer because it’s just unusable for most places in the uk , so I’m thinking of my next bike , 1 The m1000R , the H2 SE or the Street Triple Rs …. Apart from the 7K price saving on a Street Triple, which one would you recommend ( I’ve no intention of going on a track ) What’s your thoughts? 👍🏾

[@yonniboy1]

I'm with you 100% about the TFT, my 2023 RS is my third consecutive street triple and by far the best but the 2017 to 19 TFT was good, the 2020 to 22 not as good and the 2023 definitely the worst, too cluttered and hard to read and the Rs is a much clearer better TFT.

[@Midnight_Snakk]

Thanks for the review, dude. Lovin' the playful attitude, btw! 👌

[@stefaandeswert377]

Would you go for this one or the duke 890r? RS has a better finish but the duke just handles like no tomorrow. Difficult choice

[@djtiemens7481]

My R loves being thrashed, and I love thrashing her! It’s great fun! I ride her to work every day. Weekend tours are a beast though. Someone need’s to make a windshield for this thing! At 70 mp, it’s thrashing me lol! Just an awesome bike though. The 9 Tim’s are deserving.

[@markbroad5234]

Great review, love you videos 👍

[@PaulSmith-mh9bi]

I have the moto 2 not matter who reviews the street triple it says so much about this bike if all they slate is the dash ok the rev counter isn’t the best to read but all other aspects of the dash inc ease of use I can live with so to me no big deal great job triumph

[@1teenybop]

Just sold my speed triple to buy one of these, can't wait till September,becoming a pensioner doesn't mean you need to rely on your bus pass 😂❤

[@paulfowler6665]

I recon they would sell even more if it had a decent dash. Maybe next years model?

[@robg9379]

Great review again Tim👍. I test rode one last week & it seemed alot smaller than I remember 🤔. I had a 2019 RS & dong remember it feeling thag small! Now got a 1050RS which I love but have got the itch to change again!

[@cliveomahoney4096]

Haha, fabulous vid, your enthusiasm for the bike was great. I like this marks out of 10 idea. But, it's not entirely new, you gave the Hornet 8. I can't believe that the Street triple only gents one point more. But, what the heck, it's all fun, so thanks.

[@markreynolds8630]

Yeah, get rid of that dash! Triumph, you listening?

[@gonbikes]

Track Weapon ready! More RPM (like more happy zone 😊), more braking power (brembo stylema) and better suited to the track day (moto2) 💛💛💛 and Cosmic Yellow is awesome 🤗

[@sanxi34]

When they launched the mid-cycle refresh of the StreetTriple I went to a triumph dealership and tbh... I really really considered buying an RS and modify it in the "Moto2" spirit... I doesn't seem like adding clip-ons away from a handlebar would be too complicated from the get-go, because honestly, personally now looking into a supersport bike, having a "modern day daytona" without paying the "765-limited edition tax" sounds very appealing

[@beetleything1864]

The flywheel is made of prawn crackers :) --- Tim NO need to rush the superlatives at the end - i want to hear them......

[@BigBlueadvetures]

Hi Tim, I am as tall as you are 6'3" 95 Kgs, What is the real world experience on this bike? I did test ride and it felt good. But you can only experience so much in a 20 min. test ride. I want to use this as my daily ride. I really like this bike but the ergonomics due to my height is the only thing holding me back.

[@timrodierides]

I found it fine… not the comfiest but like any bike once you've done some big miles on it you sort of mould to it. You're 5kg lighter than me which will probably help!

[@zeus57eth]

Why do the colours looked washed out, too much exposure? Anyway great Review sir.

[@albertlira7443]

Man what a great looking bike. Great Rodie content as always!

[@chrisrader8547]

The question I must answer for myself: would I like this more than my 2017 Thruxton R? Its a compelling choice. I really like the 765 RS.

[@helgejohan3604]

Duke 890 are more nimble and lighter steering, but the power on the Rs are more exciting and fun✊🔥

[@gtewewrrrrrr]

Seems like a fun bike! Thinking of selling my 2021 MT09-SP, Yamaha quality is disappointing and dealer close by are shite. Right now dealing with some TPS issues and the whole thing makes me wanna get rid of it. Also I've grown tired of touring, focusing more on trackdays and weekend blasts. Want something with better handling. Never tried any Triumph, but the power delivery being different from the MT is going to be interesting when riding one.

[@patrickrosello9583]

Would be interested to know your feel between the CP3 and the Street. Looking at getting a Street just wondering if that's a choice I won't regret!

[@RynoDinero]

Please let us know what u end up doing. I’m selling my 2020 r6 and I’m so torn between a 2023 mt09 and a 2023 street triple rs. The brembos and suspension alone makes me wanna go for the triple rs.

[@jimikite999]

I tried the MT09SP for the day, chose the RS tho, suited me better, the only thing i liked better on the SP was the low down grunt

[@yamz342]

Would you have it over a Ducati sf v2 or s1000r?

[@reddpill]

Yes, the V2 lacks in many areas in comparison.

[@yamz342]

@@reddpill faster, more power, sounds better, looks better, better dash, more control over electronics?

[@allangrse617]

​@@reddpillI own the v2, and took the street triple r out for a test ride, and it's truly ia great bike, i liked how smooth the qs was, and the handling, but the the v2 is still a better bike in many ways (at least for me)

[@MrJackk10]

I personally don’t feel the dash is an issue, knowing when to change gears can be done on sound and feel, no need to look for indication on the dash imo

[@timrodierides]

Yeah you definitely still do that, it's just more for the people who do use rev counters… it's harder to see at a glance. I'm with you though

[@cplmac]

As someone that traded their street triple is for a speed triple 1200rs, I have to strongly disagree that the street is better than the speed. Soulless? I really can’t relate to that. I’m loving every minute of my speed ownership.

[@timrodierides]

Maybe, but it’s always hard to reason with people who are £15k invested in a bike!

[@cplmac]

@@timrodierides I get that, but that doesn’t automatically make me intellectually dishonest. I just wanted to add my differing opinion for those looking at both bikes. I genuinely love the 1200rs. I was so anxious trading in the 765rs because is was practically a perfect bike, but I’m so happy I did. Obviously both our opinions are subjective, and mine is 1200rs every time. 👍👍

[@PulsarSuni-rj2bq]

Weight of the bike?

[@timrodierides]

188kg wet

[@greyanaroth]

The biggest problem, by far, with this bike, rears it's head when you want to upgrade it. It spoils you SO much with the smooth power, the epic handling and brakes, that your only real options to upgrade to are super nakeds. Because everything else feels cheap and silly in comparison.

[@G.ICECOOL]

breaks superb on all other reviews?

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

But is it more king than sfv2?

[@reddpill]

Yes

[@allangrse617]

No. Even though it's a great bike, it feels like it's missing something compared to the sfv2

[@benkelly2190]

A cracking bike, no doubt, but please, please, please get rid of that pointless, gimmicky rev counter, nonsense.

[@xpantz]

Wholeheartedly agree. I was deposit down on the Moto2 the instant it became available. I already had a 2020 RS. I joke that I like this bike so much I would buy it without a dash. I'm yet to hear anybody except a few "happy to please" reviewers say they like the dash. It's very hard to read. The fonts in general are small and the tacho is just a waste of space. It's also on the Tiger. There are 4 built in variations for the screen which all show that butterfly tacho... surely one of them could be a more normal arrangement, like a 2019 model for instance.

[@benkelly2190]

@@xpantz spot on mate. I have a 2018 speedy RS, it’s got a far better tacho layout. It ain’t a deal breaker on the new one! But a tacho , should be a tacho..👍🏻

[@andrewprice1189]

100% agree, i have the moto2 version, just quality everywhere, stunning looks & the handling, just wow. But the dash is awful in any of the 4 screens. Triumph stop trying to reinvent the wheel please..

Great review, I’m thinking of trading my Speed Triple 1200 Rs for this but , having ridden both bikes you know what I’m second guessing about it now, the Speed Triple is a bit pointless imo ( not entirely sure why on earth I bought it tbh) having said that it’s got so much power it’s a bit addictive 😂!! Think I need to try the Street Triple again 👍🏾

Just do it. So much fun reving 765
