New 2023 Triumph Street Triples - Which should you buy?

I actually prefer your old set up Mr flyer😊

[@daveharrison3635]

I've just purchased the R model, I've purchased the seat cowl as an extra ,it looks great ,I agree that it was down to preferance as I don't do track days ,I have the silver ice colour and in the sunshine the matalic flake certainly shines ,this is my first Triumph I've always had Suzuki in the past but this Street Triple is an amazing bike👍

[@FlyerUnderTheRadar]

For me, since I do have the obligatory 1.5h highway run before hitting some fun twisty roads, the fact that the cruise control is only available on the RS was also an important factor. That and the yellow paint of course :)

[@MarkATaylor]

I agree, I’d go for the RS - on the strength of the paint scheme, better brakes and bar end mirrors. Lovely looking bikes. IPhone works a treat as well 👍

[@shadowred1980]

It's not just the callipers that are different. The master cylinders are axial on the R and radial on the RS. The m\c tends to make a big difference, anyone that's fitted an upgraded\aftermarket one will know what I mean. Great comparison, agree on the red colour it looks great out in the wild.

[@jameswhitehead-sf2nf]

You got there before me on this one, Brembo radial master cylinder with ajustable span and ratios on the rs

[@CarlosB0578]

There's no doubt the R has to be one of the best value bikes out there... but tbf the extra money for the Rs is definitely worth it considering all the multiple upgrades... Both Brilliant bikes, probably just comes down to how much you want to spend!.. Picked up my Carnival Red RS yesterday and absolutely loved the first 100miles... what a bike!.. Well done Triumph!!..🙏❤

[@michaelmclarney1994]

In theory the R would suit my riding best but the colours would probably sway me to look at other bikes instead. I agree with you and miss the brighter colours triumph used to do. If the offered other colour options, even for a couple of hundred quid extra, would be a good move.

[@DJ-xl8xh]

Extremely well done review and comparison. Hope you are fortunate enough to do this type of thing again. IPhone was excellent. You’ve got this KZbin concept down perfectly for folks that just LOVE all kinds of bikes and experiences. Thanks for all you do, you are quite the gentleman!! 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Wow - thank you very much!

[@photographerjonathan]

It seems like the RS is worth the extra money. ( seat cowl, belly pan, LCD display, sport tires, Ohlins shock, better brakes, 10 more horse power, 2 pounds lighter, and allot nicer color. Im just not into the grey color. and the yellow and red are really nice. I test road the RS and really liked it. one of the nicest sounding stock bikes I have ever ridden. and I feel at home sitting on it. unfortunately where I live the price is allot more than most other places. the only negative is that its a naked bike and I was getting hammered by the wind when riding it. as far as how the two compare. I like a tachometer that looks more like a real tach. so I don't like the look of the tach on the RS. and I like the lower seat on the R and the softer suspension. but I think I would still have to buy the RS.

[@andrewprice1189]

Agree 100% that most will go for the RS solely for the better colours & bling whether they need it or not. I have just bought the last moto2 limited edition available here in Melbourne, Australia after finding out it was available after an order was cancelled. My head tells me it will be a good investment on top of being such a fantastic bike

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I think youwill have got yourself a winner there!

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

As to the bike comparison, thanks for that. It would be great if you could answer the rear shock difference by taking the bike to a suspension specialist or even having a tinkering with it yourself to see if it could be made similar to the R. That would make for great content as everyone else is saying they’re different but nobody has tried to address the issue.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes good point!

[@jamesschneider3828]

It would probable boost the price to more than the RS if you purchased an upgraded rear shock.

[@harleycross4170]

Agree and this is the one thing missing from all reviews. If the Ohlins was set up for road use, is it comparable, or better than the R suspension? I would imagine so, but…

[@markpulling12]

When I reviewed both of these recently I definitely felt the R was the better road bike ...even the sales guys said the same :)

[@jedw9983]

It was a great review, Mark 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Totally agree

[@fyorbane]

You need to adjust the suspension on the RS to make it more compliant on the road. Once done it rides just as well as the R if not better. So, in fact the RS is the better bike. You have a greater range of adjustment. It's just that people are not setting it up when they should do.

[@bradleyalexander5821]

The RS would be my choice. That yellow paint job is spectacular. If my heart wasn’t so set on a GS, I’d seriously consider this lovely bike.

[@whatnever]

thanks for a great video, it wasnt easy to find a direct comparison between the two without the reduntant fluff

Think the "R" would be more than enough for me. I dont think id fancy a morning commute on the "RS" with those tyres on it either. They look like old racing cut slicks! Shame the colours on the R arent better tho! Great vid!

[@MattSwain1]

I have an RS from 2020 and I suppose I had similar concerns. I’m not a fast rider and I don’t do track days but I still bought the RS. 3 and a half years on, I bought the bike outright 6 months ago because it’s so good and I intend to keep it. I set the suspension to it’s comfort setting and it’s not harsh at all. The tyres are basically road legal racing tyres but they work around town just fine… I suppose the only downside of them is I wore them both out in just over 5000 miles and they were pretty expensive for a new pair so that would be something to consider if you do a lot of miles. All that said, if I was to buy one of the new bikes I would buy the RS (even though the R would be good enough)

[@Fernando90054]

I personally enjoyed more this footage. It has more light, and better definition of imaging details, I think. Don’t know if the change affects the sound but it was clearly too👌🏻

[@andash1066]

I've just purchased an R as I don't do track days. The red and yellow are an extra £200 making the difference £1900. Although I did opt for the belly pan at £143 plus fitting and a fly screen and visor bringing the total to approximately £10,000. For the road the R is absolutely brilliant. The white in the R is also an extra £200.

I’ve been learning to ride on a variety of bikes, and spent a day on the R and two on the RS, and what swings it for me is the downshifter on the RS (the R is up shift only I think). Edit: possibly the R I rode was a little older, which might account for the difference.

[@a68war]

Camera angle good, I had noticed the fish bowl effect before, but this when looking at the bikes was much better. Loving Triumph bikes right now, excellent. On another note: Nearly a month ago now I had a RTC on my push bike taking a 'quiet' back road to avoid all the summer holiday traffic down here in Penwith Cornwall area, as a result my Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro will not be ridden now for a good few months (missing out on all this nice weather too!). I gained speed to 28mph down hill and went round a back lane corner only to find a land rover and campervan stationary trying to pass each other, I had to ram (est. 25mph) between them. Multiple injuries including cut and black right eye (face planted the road helmet on), grazed knee, hip, sprained left elbow and wrist and finally broken right non-displaced proximal humerus and displaced distal clavicle fracture. Pain pain pain! Now trying to move after nearly a month. I can't drive ride for a few months more or lift anything. Aim of cycling was to build up my fitness having gone through a right lung pulmonary embolism last September, again didn't ride much as on blood thinners back then. 14 years ago broke five ribs on my right side smashing my right shoulder for the first time. So, my point being, thank you for providing some excellent vids to help my mental state and get me through my issues and pain. Whilst I may not ever ride a push bike ever again on the roads at 55 years young I've stopped short of selling my Triumph and look forward to September when I hope to have built my strength back up again, but noted your air vest protection vid, perhaps I may invest in the "Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Airbag vest" to stop further bad trauma to my right should\arm ibs. Fingers crossed my recovery will go smoothly, but only able to lift my shoulder an inch or so for now:-(

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sorry to hear of your accident - hope you recover soon!

[@UncleWally3]

Interesting that we bikers have a need for style and performance that’s often mitigated by our sense of frugality. But, while frugality is tethered to practical matters, for the majority of us motorcycles are totally optional and have little to do with practical matters. So, for me, after deep reflection much math and complex considerations I’ve concluded . . . I’d take the yellow one.

Great comparison, as usual. You are the person whose judgement I turn to, as I think I ride in a very similar way. Re the iPhone, I thought if anything it was a little sharper but I didn’t have a problem with the previous GoPro images.

[@Mushtip46]

For me I also prefer the RS and the fact the front brakes are considerably superior is a big factor for me.

Yeah, if the extra cash wasn’t a major issue, I’d say the better brakes & additional color options would probably make the RS my choice. I would be perfectly content with either though!

@@TheMissendenFlyer Yes I did notice that, and you can see some noise in the garage shots probably because the lighting isn't good enough. You could have fixed those in post by adding a little more sharpening. Overall though, the picture looks less distorted than the Go Pro and the colour looks a lot more natural. You could easily improve the image quality by a significant margin and get rid of this softness simply by adding good lighting. This way you won't have to add sharpening later. You could of course invest in a DSLR. But, a DSLR would also benefit significantly from studio lighting, so I would encourage you to go for that first if you don't already have any. Did you record this in 4k 60fps?

Probably it's not iPhone against GoPro. Each has it's pros and cons. You use both on your walk arounds.

So if you use 2 cameras in 2 different positions for your garage talks? I've never made friends with the insectoid look of Speed Triples or others like KTMs, but I'm sure that to ride one must be a big pleasure. Triples are my favorite motor concept, "the best of both worlds", smooth and wild unite! I prefer the look of the Trident, more classic tho, perfect bike for sunday afternoon back lane weazzeling.

I’m amazed the iPhone is a much higher quality look, like the vid😎🇨🇦

The R would be my choice. With bar-ends and toasty grips. And I prefer the subtlety of the silver with the flake through it. Also, give me the sensible tyres. 👌

Filming was great Andy. If pushed I would say it looked a bit sharper,if that makes sense. Cheers. 😀👍

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated!

Totally agree Mr flyer, however I love the white and collected my R last weekend. I added the belly pan, a tail tidy and bizarrely it's got the beautifully stitched seat that comes on the RS. Naturally I didn't complain lol. I'm loving it and think it looks great. Vid quality was excellent IMO. Looking forward to you picking up your RS 👍👍

Hmmm a mind reader!!

[@tlong9812]

Both great. But i chose the moto2 in yellow. Also incredible.

Class job with the iPhone Andy. Looks superb! Great vid and I share the same thoughts exactly about that pair. 👌🎥🏍

Thank you David - I thought it looked a bit soft, but generally the perspective and colour was good. Wondering whether I should take the plunge and by one of those mirrorless Sony alphas for in garage stuff (+”Bike News”)….but not sure I can do with the hassle of buying new lenses…not to mention the ££££

[@dianedownie5951]

Either or.Both presentations top notch.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you

As a fan of the channel, I secretly hope you pick up a yellow RS. The TMF fleet needs another street triple!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for watching!

Hello, the iPhone was perfect and the sound was good. What microphone did you use and do you have a link? Thank you, David.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I use Rode wireless mics + an adaptor

RS for me, just style and colour wise
