Triumph Street Triple 765 RS - The Naked Truth About It

[@arsssis]

Agree the new MT09sp is better in almost all aspects BUT - would you open the garage and look at it and smile ? It’s a horrible looking machine sadly….

[@darekz9777]

😂😂😂

[@hakkiyagiz]

If you wanna see that grin on your face every time you look at it, go for xsr 💙

[@Narog-s1k]

Never ever is the Shit Yamaha better then the Triumph 😂😂😂😂😂

[@wernerxldata]

It's not better, it's different. Street Triple is a bit more focussed on sporty riding and position. MT09 is a bit more comfy in means of position and it's lovely for being a hooligan. Both are brilliant bikes, looks are quite personal, however I do agree with you, the street triple is a masterpiece in finish, the yammie looks quite weird. You get used to it when you see it more but in my world it's never gonna be a beauty. Every time I see my RS I have to watch out not starting to drewl 🤣 Having both would quite awesome 😇 Not sure about the Adventure bike idea... I would probably buy something like a Tracer 9 GT or an S1000XR instead of an adventure. Adventure is a compromise on the road and in real life they suck at offroad, looks good in Honda or KTM's marketing video's but they're too heavy for decent offroad and have way too much power. There's a reason motocross and enduro is done on bikes just above 100kg with max 60hp of power.

[@Narog-s1k]

@@wernerxldata you THINK you can be more Hooligan! But in Real ITS bullshit! Because the streety is faster in all accularation! The streety feel "smoother" al lit because its more lineal Power! And you can use this Power much better on Street! Put off TC on both Bikes and you will see.....

[@TriumphLover]

I never had a Street Triple before. So, for my first one, I bought the Moto2 Edition in Racing Yellow. I've got 3 other Triumphs in the garage and one in the living room 😂 which is the Daytona 765 Moto2. I love the Street Moto2. I've also added Evotech accessories, same as you. Got the Triumph scrolling indicators. CarbonFBR pieces, heel guards and hugger for the rear tire and lower chain guard. Great bike! Japanese bikes are always, for the most part, cheaper than the European counterparts. Good video here.

[@douglasalexander4348]

Light, nimble, can potter along through town traffic or rip down the twisties. Throttle is so smooth.

[@madds6678]

It’s not a touring bike 😂😂😂 nope it’s a track focused naked. I bought one this year for the looks, poise, handling, brakes & power, I love it best bike I’ve owned & the finish is so much better than the MT 09 sp I was thinking about ( I’ve always been a Yamaha owner before ) The seat is firm but what sports bike isn’t Only criticism is the dash display layout & the indicator switch feel, minor points but awesome otherwise. Totally agree you need to keep it in a lower gear than you think 4000 rpm & above the engine loves revs & use the engine braking more. Reminds me a little bit of a stroker. The newly released Tiger 800 might be the perfect tourer for you 😉 not heavy good wind protection & great engine.

[@Ventcis]

The best bike ever.

[@allanfoster5418]

[@darekz9777]

Speed Triple is a completely different league bike, probably best in its own class, same as ST RS in the middle weight category 😉👍

[@allanfoster5418]

@darekz9777 too be fair all truimph triples are brilliant.

[@darekz9777]

Yes they're 😉👍

[@chriswest2290]

​@allanfoster5418 that's in the class of super duke , bmw s100, streetfighter v4 and aprilia tuono. It is not top in its class. Street triple is a more nimble high corner speed bike

[@davemadden4028]

Great video mate!! I’m at a crossroads as well. 7000km on my 2022. Such an awesome bike but I test rode a 2024 MT 09 two days ago and it’s much more comfortable for me. I feel like it would prolong my rides, as three hours is tops for me now and I have to get off. I feel that the 10-14 rpm range on the str is just wasted on me as I rarely ever use it. The MT 09 makes that hp, pretty much until the 10 mark on the rpm range. A little more useful for me in my case. Hmmm, I’ve got the winter over here in Canada to ponder my decision?? Good luck my friend in your future travels!!

[@darekz9777]

Thank you 👍 Looks like you will have very busy winter ahead you 😉😂 The ST and MT09 are both great bikes, there are no bad choices over here, but one bike may suit slightly better one rider over the other bike. Best of luck with your choices 😉

[@markholmes5695]

Agree re gearing. SF never needs 5th or 6th unless top speed or on motorway just to save fuel in lower rpm

[@markholmes5695]

You mentioned the MT. Stunning bike both the 09 and 10. I nearly night the MT10, but, after many years of bikes I wanted something different/unique/exotic. The SF build quality and finish is incredible. The engine far too much on the road, I’ll never use to full potential, but I love it. The MT lacked a bit of class for the price. I really like the speed limiter option and the cruise control which the SF doesn’t have :( Also there are so many MTs on the road. The street triple was more unique naked. I’d say she is nuts on track.

[@ericgibson4629]

I own a 2020 Street Triple RS. I want to get a newer bike this coming spring. It's such a great bike though. Maybe the Speed Triple???

[@darekz9777]

Speed Triple is a bigger brother of Street Triple, and in my opinion it's a better bike than ST, but it's also in a different league. Everything with this bike is a step up from ST. I've tested the 2023 model and it was a brilliant bike, but also more expensive, faster, more power and more performance bike with better components than ST 765 RS. For most people the ST 765 RS will be more than enough bike. But if you need something more than the ST, the Speed Triple will be the right choice. 👍

[@CuzzyRider]

Great bike, im a proud owner myself. Btw great video mate.

[@darekz9777]

Thank you 👍

[@JagoTFC]

Would I ever want more than my Z650 after all the engine tuning it would be this or a Monster 937. No 270 crank parallel twin for me. Technically they don't make sense. Get a true V2 if you want the V2 sound.

[@Heisssam]

@JagoTFC test ride it if you can. I recommend leaving you creditcard at home though cause you will buy one afterwards. This is what happend to me and I wasn't even planning on buying it. It was that good.

[@slim-yin]

I have the 23 765rs, am about your age and am also thinking about the 900 Yamaha (xsr) . I agree with evry word you say , The only thing I don't like about the yamaha are the rubber brake lines .Beware of buying the KTM , their parent company are having financial difficulties and the dealers are not the best .. thanks x

[@darekz9777]

Thank you. It's not a big problem to change rubber brake lines, I usually change them to the "Hel" braided brake lines- they're very good 👍. I'm looking towards some adventure bikes, I've already tried a couple of them, and I really like them. Like you said, I'll probably stay away from KTM, I don't want to push my luck 🤞

[@howardyarnold3133]

Doin a service / oil & filter ever year only doing 1,800 kms according to experts is not recomended.. You can skip a year Oils today are very superior. However regular cleaning & maintanence, checks, loobing the chain little & often, tyre checks every day for screws or nails etc. is a good thing folks.

[@lcsper]

This bike is amazing. Best middleweight naked by a mile. Only thing I can complain about it is the initial torque which is a little whimpy but frankly is something only relevant on low speed manuvers. This is very much made up for by the amazing handling on this bike.

[@PrivatePrivate-sw2qk]

No low torque ? Compared to what ?

[@celzolsen8988]

@@PrivatePrivate-sw2qk mt09 for example

[@rns6889]

As torque goes it's quite generous and perfect balance between rev happy and mid range grunt, I think you've just been spoiled of torque especially if you have ridden the super duke 1290 r 😂

[@lcsper]

@rns6889 what I have noticed is that it's been getting better as the ECU adjusts itself for the fuel in Brazil. We have quite a lot of ethanol in the gas here. It used to shut off quite easily when slipping the clutch. It's been getting less finicky.

[@rns6889]

@@lcsper well that's interesting, but I heard vehicles need to be upgraded for ethanol usage due to its corrosive tendencies, is your bike fine? Like what's the percentage of the ethanol there anyways, because here in south East Asia we don't have that at all.

[@markholmes5695]

Only thing I’d change on the Street triple is the tires that come stock, if I’m correct when in the dealer I saw Pirelli Supercorsa SP ? That’s fairly track oriented tire.. I know it’s the road legal version but still fairly slick. The SF comes with Corsa 2s which is more a mix, best tires I’ve had on a bike so far. So much confidence. Unsure about kms it can achieve, time will tell.

[@darekz9777]

Yes, correct. The stock tires are great on track or on sunny days, very sticky and confident inspired, but when it's wet or cold they're rubbish. Also they do not last long.

[@lateknights1]

To me the Metzeler M9 RR are the perfect tires for this sporty bike. They're incredibly neutral and stable in the corner. Excellent dry & wet grip from the first corner. You just don't have to think about your tires

[@darekz9777]

Yes, the Metzeler M7 RR, M9 RR are great tires, I can also recommend Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV.

[@markholmes5695]

@@darekz9777 any experience with Pirelli gt or gt2?

[@markholmes5695]

My wife loves this bike. Looking to buy. Nice and light which is what she wants. Perhaps next year. Funny to hear the mixed dub accent, my wife is Slovak and has similar 😅 (Ireland here too 🇮🇪) I’ve the SFV4s grey nero. Also bought new in the same dealer. Sfv4 On another level 😂 mad bike, of course I’m poor now. On touring , no idea on the street triple. On the SF, no issue with wind, no vortex created. Any shielded bike I’ve been on creates vortex around helmet , head feels like coming off. The SF very linear wind blast. Of course at 240+ it’s windy, but, just tuck. Also you’re not going to do that speed for more than a few seconds 🤷‍♂️ obviously not a pillion bike at all. One up only. I’ve Kreiga tank bag (30l) no problem for Europe trip. Have to pull over every 1.5hiurs (160km or so) to fuel anyhow so that breaks things up.

Thank you. I'm 181cm tall with 32 inseam. If I sell it I'll buy something big for 2 people touring. I've decided that I want to ride distance and see places 😉. I've tested pretty much every single bike on the market, and I have few favorites, but there is not one perfect bike, every one had some good and weak points. So keep watching my channel and soon or later you will find out what bike will be replaced by my lovely ST 765RS. 👍

[@darekz9777]

Triumph Street Triple 765RS, it's a lovely fun bike, but it's a solo riding bike, not for the 2 people. It's a sport naked bike, so the riding position is quite sporty, it's perfect for the younger person, but when you are 50+, it could be challenging 😂. Still, probably the best handling bike ever had over my 33 years riding experience. If you never tried it or owned it highly recommend it 👌👍.

[@agrisbatna1797]

Hi,try Suzuki GSX s1000 GX on Megabikes ...it's so good , comfortable and not heavy ,,good power

[@darekz9777]

Hi, I've already tried it, a lovely bike, it reminded me of my old GSXS 1000, however the leg position is still quite sporty for my taste. It wasn't a problem when I was younger, but now I'll prefer something with more leg room, but overall the bike is amazing 👍

[@skylark17]

yea lol gotta keep those revs down speed cameras everywhere now

[@macbrush]

I would've got the 765RS instead of 09Sp if the local dealer didn't ask for £16000 (HK$160,000) for it.

[@darekz9777]

Even over here in Ireland MT09SP and ST765RS cost more than last year, and there is basically no difference in price between those 2 bikes. It's so sad that everything gets so expensive 😭

[@limtc1733]

I loved my street triple till it betrayed me. The dash died and with it, the immobiliser, and ecu. Bike couldn’t start at all. I had to scrap it or otherwise pay a ransom. That would be my last Triumph.

[@darekz9777]

I heard that in the past ST suffered some problems with the dash( the water or moisture goes inside it and costs the problems, apparently Triumph fixed that problem), also I heard about some engine issues, with few cases where the engine blew up. So far I could be lucky, but I didn't have any single problem with it.

[@douglasalexander4348]

Oh right. Go buy a KTM then 😂 You do know the dash can be replaced, so no you don’t have to scrap it, but you seem to be a bit of a drama queen so go ahead. The dash, ecu and immobiliser almost certainty didn’t die all at the same time. If it’s Triumphs fault, they may offer some goodwill. Good luck.

[@kaprixpl]

You are right about MT09 SP, but one reason I woudn't buy this bike. It's simply ugly. The front looks so cheap. Few days ago I was on the trackday and my spot was close to MT09 SP. The difference in the look of these two motorcycles, just enormous, even owner admited that.

[@darekz9777]

The look of the ST 765 RS and MT09 SP is subjective to every individual person. Both of them bikes are priced the same money, but in my eyes the new 2024 MT09 SP, presents slightly better value. The bottom line is that both those bikes are very good motorbikes, regardless of your choice.

[@Heisssam]

Looks are subjective and to be honest I didn't like it at first. But to call it cheap is untrue.

[@MyWifesBoyfriend-pp8kq]

The Decepticon styling Yamaha has decided on for their MTs leave the bikes with a face only a mother can love. It’s a bit of a shame because the first gen is what piqued my interest in riding to begin with, but now I’m to a point where I couldn’t care less about how ugly a bike is.

[@douglasalexander4348]

What a load of BS. Your egos out of control😂 Owners of MT 09s think their bikes are great looking and that the STR are ugly with their stupid bug eye headlights on stalks. The MT09 also has a gruntier and more engaging engine, one of the best I’ve ever used. I own a STR, and also have a Tracer MT09 bought 7 years ago. The Triumphs quality isn’t better, the plastics are actually flimsier on the STR. The STR is ALSO a brilliant bike to ride and own.

[@darekz9777]

I had a passenger on the back a few times for the short journey as well, but I always find how the bike changes (riding experience), without setting the correct preload. I tell you it wasn't a present experience, also the passenger wasn't comfortable at that small pillion seat. I didn't say that it can't be done, but I said the ST is not a 2 person bike for pleasure riding, at least not for me.
