Triumph street triple 675 first ride and review

My first ride of this 2012 Triumph street triple 675 I’ll give you some specs and my thoughts and opinion of this great little bike.

[@johncurtis6815]

I have that exact bike, black and gold 2012. Absolute gem of a motorcycle. 17k miles, rides like a dream. I’m a Triumph customer for life.

[@Nick-Emery]

Same, mine is black/gold 2012 striple R with the twin arrow exhausts… it’s my pride and joy ☺️

[@jamesjay1987]

Same 2015 black-gold combination here with sc project / cat delete. I am totally bounded this bike.

[@IndigoJo]

I'm in London, and make frequent trips out into the wider south-east, and yes, the potholes here are pretty dreadful now. Especially on back roads as might be expected, but even on some of the main roads.

[@butcherknife59knife46]

Riding a 2010 Street triple R . I found a set of mirrors on EBay exact factory.. Here in Bend Oregon, State side. Love mine black and gold ! Headed out for 300mile rip on Saturday the7th 2023

[@chunkybeardedbiker]

Nice mate it’s a very very capable bike and a joy to ride 👌🏻

[@pc5147]

This is a perfect bike for riding on busy streets. I have an identical street triple 675 (2012, black), use it every day to commute in London. It’s 30+k miles. I had to do some work on it over the years including head gasket, and it’s on its third exhaust manifold. I just cannot let go of it. I would get another bike, only if I had more space in the garage.

I have the same bike 14000 miles black and gold with sp engineering exhaust for sale

[@cbrider726]

I am thinking about buying one of these . I am 64 and have riden everything at this point and want a smaller bike . I have just sold my CB1300 a sad day LOL . But i have so many vids on this bike and the only problem that i can see are the mirrors as you say . Great stream . Thanks . I have now subed to your streams. 👍👍👍

[@chunkybeardedbiker]

Thank you mate! Really appreciate it 👍🏻 it’s a great bike and I thoroughly enjoyed my short blast on her.

[@martinbishop5228]

[@gonzo3915]

Skip this one, don't waste your time. He 'likes it' is all you are going to get from it. And the rest of the time he talks about himself and his life as if he were a movie star that we were enthralled to find out about. geezzzzzzzzz.

[@TheBluebiker]

They just make you feel alive Had mine from new . And somehow they are easy to ride too

[@chunkybeardedbiker]

Great machines mate ride safe and have a blast!

[@malcolmcurtis7645]

[@chunkybeardedbiker]

[@abuseproof]

[@timsgta]

nice ride!

[@MrEnglishman6969]

Just bought a 2012 One owner bike with 8800 miles as second bike for short rides as I have a tiger 800 and z1000

[@jerryx2000]

man how much do you weigh? did the rear shock crush when you sit on it?

[@chunkybeardedbiker]

14 stone and no

[@jerryx2000]

​@@chunkybeardedbiker I had the 08 street triple non r. I weigh 80kg & the suspension collapsed. I guess the R is firmer.

[@chunkybeardedbiker]

@@jerryx2000 if the suspension collapsed then the shock had to be faulty surely 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@blackbirdxx4613]

Come to south Africa.... Potholes everywhere

[@EpicAdamMotovlogs]

Sorry mate. Im watching this from glorious North Devon. I own a Himalayan because the potholes are so bad but im looking for a fast summer bike. Thats why I'm watching this video

[@martinbishop5228]

I've got the same bike for sale 14000 miles

[@EpicAdamMotovlogs]

@@martinbishop5228 I just bought a vfr800. The triple is definitely a bike I'll have in the future though

[@tylerkeast-sandry2219]

Which year is that truimph?

[@chunkybeardedbiker]

2012 mate 😊

[@tylerkeast-sandry2219]

@@chunkybeardedbiker thanks its my dream bike

[@martinbishop5228]

Description gives it away

[@douglasmeneley1104]

Huntsville Alabama I'm having a problem with the price of it here in the US 😢

[@butcherknife59knife46]

I bought a 2010 Triple R with 22k for 4500 mint shape..

[@ttxela]

Yep, massive potholes round here.

[@stackzstackz2091]

Are those bikes easy to ride ?

[@chunkybeardedbiker]

Yea dude! It’s comfortable, not to tall, lightweight and handles great 👍🏻

[@stackzstackz2091]

@@chunkybeardedbiker will it be too tall for 5 ft 6 inch person seat wise will your feet be flat on the ground or tippy toe ?

[@chunkybeardedbiker]

@@stackzstackz2091 it’ll depend more on your inside leg mate, mines short at 29 inch and I was on the balls of my feet but it’s lightweight and narrow which makes the difference, my personal bike I’m tip toe and it’s heavier lol but I’m used to it.

[@cbrider726]

Those mirrors make the bike to wide and look shit lol .Triumph realy screwed up there . Pitty if i buy i will have to look at all options i hate those .

[@austonboston4361]

Isn't it a 765?

[@chunkybeardedbiker]

No mate it’s an older one their 675 I think if I remember correctly the speed triple is 765 and also the newer street but don’t quote me.

[@austonboston4361]

@@chunkybeardedbiker Thanks for clearing that up. I am seriously considering a striple right now. Cheers 🍻. Keep on riding free!

[@chunkybeardedbiker]

Honestly mate go ride one! Stonking machine for little money

[@austonboston4361]

So, it's basically a naked version of the Daytona? I'm going to have to for sure scout around for one.

[@chunkybeardedbiker]

@@austonboston4361 very similar mate yes
