Would be nice if you called them by name instead of “this one and that one” for those who aren’t familiar

I own a 2014 Street Triple 675R, I just love it. Its light (compered to many) Sounds great when opened up. I had the bikes suspension set up by a pro, (For my weight) run the back ...Pirelli Diablo Corsa... tyre at a slightly lower pressure. The bike handles beautifully on twisty roads.... Fortunately, here in Spain the roads are better maintained, rough and potholes surfaces are not a problem. I believe the striple series of Triumph are just great.....Interesting to see how these bikes have progressed in the last few years though..I'm 73 so I suspect my hooligan days are numbered but to finish my biking, from 1963 to present riding the triumph is a real pleasure..

Ah, The eternal question. I think the Speed doesn't egg you on as much as the Street to go nuts. When I get off my Street after a ride I always feel like it's disappointed in me because we could have gone faster. I don't think the Speed is as judgemental. 😆 But no-one will ever have the answer to this question. Great video.👍

I have the 2020 street RS and I literally can't stop riding it. Its an amazing bit of kit. Rough ride on rough roads but other than that no complaints at all. I LOVE IT!

Still think the Street Triple RS was the right choice for me, loved the comparison though.

I’ve had the Street and bought the speed last year, and the instant torque of the speed is addictive and it so much more stable. I would say a more grown up hooligan bike 😂 great side by side real world comparison 👍

Had the Street 765R for a year now, great bike, goes like stink and when it's ridden sensible 60mpg you don't need any more for the road or track unless you are a top notch knee down merchant. Great vid chops thanks.

I went for the speed over the street for the pure extra grunt. Plus I like manning the bike into corners. The street felt like sitting on a fly, which my is no bad thing. Both great bikes but the speed scared me a bit, which I liked 👍🏻

Cracking review of 2 beautys Chopsy.. Greg's a good bloke isn't he.. an excellent side kick for your channel.. a Robin to your Batman so to speak! 😅Very informative to watch and to get those instant impressions from each rider. Nice one buddy as always Stay safe matey. Stew 👍👍👍

Morning Chops, Street for me mate. Had mine for the last couple of years, it’s a joy.

I love me a Triumph Triple - can't wait to see what the new Speedie brings to the party 'cos I'm too a bit on the fence these days about which I prefer (in the past the Street won easily but the Speed has been vastly improved over the last iteration).....great vid chaps!

Got my brand new 2020 Street RS for £9400. Absolutely love it. The fact that you’re comparing it with a £13,500 bike shows just how good it is.

Love my street rs, amazing bike. So flick able in the twisties and still enough grunt for the road

What a great way to finish a Perth Sunday here, top comparison Gents. I spent some time weighing the pros and cons of both models and finally decided on the Speed. Key reasons, cruise control (great for longer rides), imu, far better display and the higher spec ohlins. You get use to keyless start too. Throw a low boy on her and you lose 7 kilos of upsprung weight too while the ohlins make it easy to adjust!! Roll on the 1160 :)

I had a 2011 Speed Triple for 3 years, and have now got the 2020 Street Triple RS. Best decision I ever made chopping the Speed for the Street.

I rode both back to back last summer, and concluded that if the bike were ladies, the Street’s the one you’d take home to meet your Mum, but the Speedy is the one you’d never dare take home but just had to keep seeing. Totally addicted to that torque. I have a Street Triple 675R currently, but I’m seriously having to choose between the Super Duke R and the Speedy RS.

Street Triple for me. Both cracking bikes and I loved your review.

I've owned the street triple rs and it was one of the best bikes I've owned. I found it to be involving, fast, good handling and comfortable. The only criticism I made was it was way to firm for the UK roads (even with the shock adjusted) I now own the speed triple rs. I find the ride quality to be far better, it just feels so much more complete package. I love the attention to detail, the carbon parts, the arrow cans and the ohlins set up is utterly brilliant. August 2020 prices : Speed triple rs £13600 Free quickshifter (£300 option) £1000 deposit contribution £500 clothing voucher 1 years rac cover 1 years road tax So in comparison to the £10500 Street, it's not so much of a big step financially for the top of the range. Either bike is truly amazing whichever you decide!

Over many years of Triumph ownership I had several Speeds & Streets as loaners while my Tiger was being serviced. When I wanted a 2nd bike I got a Street without hesitation = lighter, nimbler, more engaging, and more fun. Speed might have advantages but only in rare circumstances. Street is the real world winner.

Excellent , my misses is starting to lose interest in riding pillion im keen as mustard to look at the coming speed triple 1160

I just bought a 2020 Speed 1050RS after owning a 2015 Street 675R for a few years. I thought the 675R was nimble and easy to throw around... until I rode the 1050RS. On paper it is 17kg heavier, on the road however it is completely different. It holds the corners better, absorbs the bumps better, smoother acceleration obviously without having to be at WOT to get it to move. It's honestly the bike I should have bought when I got the 675R, but I am glad I have finally gotten myself onto one now. It is an absolute dream to ride, and the de-baffled SC Projects muffler with mid pipe just sounds incredible (ear plugs needed for longer trips though!). Keen to get it tuned, as these engines respond very nicely to some extra timing!

My favorite activity is riding my Speed Triple on a Saturday morning, searching for Harley Riders on the road and ruining their day, so much fun.

Hello Chopsy - I bought a Speed RS last year and luv it! At 6'2'' & 103 Kg I find the Ohlins suspension settings are bob on for the road. The 1050 triple is sooo addictive with the air intake howl and the way it just picks up it skirt and romps into the distance whether 4th 5th or 6th..luv it!! just wish the keyless included the petrol cap.

I had the 765 RS and recently upgraded to the speedy and a couple of items not mentioned so far is that the speedy certainly runs hotter and the fueling is not as good at low RPMs. I could also ride the 765 on instinct and the speedy requires more attention. a much more serious ride. That said, I love the extra torque on the speedy (especially with a passenger) and am happy with the switch.

Brilliant review. Having Greg in the video doing a dual vlog , works so well 👏🏻

Great watching! Speed for me ! Great to have Greg on the channel, works well it’ll be good to see you both do more vids together

Happy with my recent purchase of a Brand New Speed Triple 1050 RS for £11.5k which included autobliper and heated grips. Turn off the traction control and it will wheelie on demand. Only downside is useless rear hugger which doesn't stop road grime covering the rear seat when out on a wet ride.

Got speed and had street for a courtesy bike just yesterday and riding back to back. Street sounds better and is lighter but the speed like a grown up bike. Street suspension softer and I like that. My speed suspension too stiff for my 13st but good 2 up. Definitely speed for me all told and no regrets

I agree with comments about TFT screens, call me simple, but why don’t triumph allow a download update so street owners can have the better speed screen layouts?

After your brilliant reviews on these two bikes. Ian now the proud owner of a 2017 speed triple R.Bloody hell Chopsy😮 WHAT A BIKE ❤❤❤❤

I love your reviews, Greg and you are such a good team ! Always being able to be factual but also emotional and funny, not forgetting the nice shootings. And last but not least, you're so british and that's a big plus ;) Greetings form Luxembourg, Tom

I have an RS street triple and the weight at rest, specifically at a traffic light, I love it. I turn up at a light and look around, no plans, and leave, as much as I was on a mountain bike. I had a tiger 1200 when I felt I needed a 15 point check approaching a set of lights to make sure I didn’t drop it or kill anyone, my street triple (relatively) feels like I can point it anywhere and still recover any misdemeanour

Best video so far Chopsie. As I always say I'll always keep my Speedie RS. My best purchase and love it to bits. It's got a tough presence about it and a sound to die for. Go Team Greg. Cheers from Melbourne.

Great vid but if I may make a suggestion - you both refer to the bikes as "this" & "that" and it's hard to determine what bike you are referring to. If you use thier names it sould be easier to keep track of that bike you are commenting on. Still a great comparison 👍

I have had a few too many bikes to list, most on a 3yr terms yet the only bike ever bought was my 675 09 Street R and still love it, its just a do it all brilliant bike with true build quality and 12 years on its still a total joy to run round the streets of london on. My BMW S1kRR was nice and i almost bought it after the 3 yrs were up but I always worry when parking when the police are around or if i stacked it. None of which i have with my trusty STR.

There is a current deal , running for a little while yet I believe, on the Speed RS. £1k deposit contribution, but you have to take the finance. Apparently you can pay the finance off after a couple of weeks, so you don't have to live with the 7.9% APR (if you can get finance cheaper elsewhere). On the current Speed RS deal, there's an included quick shifter. There's also a £500 voucher for clothing, but there is confusion over whether this also covers accessories. So it's possible you could get heated grips, and maybe an alarm for just a tiny bit over the £500 voucher. Ask you're local dealer :)

Triumph fanboi here. 2019 speed triple allllll the way. Redonculously reliable, but more than that, it's sexy as hell

Great review. I just bought the 2022 Street RS, and I love it. I didn't consider the Speed because I'll always go for light weight over power when it comes to "sporty" bikes. Glad to see some one else shares my hate for the dash on the Street, it's the only thing I don't like about the bike. I have actually written to Triumph, asking someone to find the graphic designer responsible, then give them a big slap.

Who shrank Greg’s jacket?!?! 🤣 Great video guys! 👍🏻

I had the 2018 Street triple R (with added quickshifter) but after watching and reading a lot of reviews on the 2020 RS I decided that I might buy it if my test ride was favourable, so after an afternoon spent riding around the north west of N.Ireland (were the N.W. 200 is run annually) and down to Enniskillen, I found that Triumph had genuinely beefed up the RSs mid-range and improved the ride quality to where it no longer felt like a stripped down supersport bike, I was on the verge of trading in my R when the dealer asked if I'd like to ride the 2020 R , I hadn't seen any tests on the new R and the only thing I knew was the new bike had the Bi-Directional quickshifter as standard but thought I'll give it a try, Phew! I'm so glad I did , Triumph have made just as many improvements to the R as they've made to the RS, apart from the quickshifter they've changed 1st and 2nd gear so that acceleration is improved, the body work changes replicate those of the RS, IMO the R is still the better every day bike right down to its Pirelli diablo corsa II tyres, which suit all conditions. you'll have no doubt guessed I didn't after all go for the RS, I opted for the R and I'm very pleased with my choice ,the only negative being the lack of TFT screen which has been replaced by the old 675 street triple dash, though the bi directional quickshifter more than compensates for this.

Nice vid 👌 I tested both, preferred the torque and sound of the Speed... then bought a SuperDuke GT 😁

Having owed the Speed RS for a year, it’s definitely underrated but I can understand why. It’s missing a bit of character about it compared to many of the other Naked offerings. It’s a really good bike, perhaps just a bit too adult for a hooligan class.

Great review, I have a street rs and previously had the speed r, which looks better more muscular but for everyday use the lighter street wins for me but both awesome, Cheers Chopsy

Love my 2018 Speed RS ... went to Assen BSB on it last year ... cruise control, heated grips and auto blipper are fantastic and a triple engine litre bike makes cruising and lazy riding a breeze !!! Took the underseat exhausts off and fitted single low sided which I think improves the looks .... great review as ever 👍🏻

I would love to see a superduke vs speed triple. Purely because they are why I’m torn between for my next bike. Superduke it winning at the moment but there is an 1160 speed coming out soon!

I own the street triple rs 2020 and i can see the dash and find it at least usable. Id definitely prefer the dash from the 2018. Theres an option so you can have the tachometer at the top of the screen to see in clear numbers what revs you are doing

Many pro bike testers actually prefer the Street R to the stiffer and peakier Street RS. The suspension is better suited to the roads and it has a bit more low and mid range grunt. The 2020 version is even cheaper than last years and has a proper analogue rev counter [hooray]. Would be interesting to get your thoughts on a direct comparison between the 2 [or 3] Street Triples. Great vid Chops [as always], take care mate and ride safe.

I'm just about to watch it. This is an issue I recently faced ! So this is my prediction. Speed RS lots more grunt, pulls from lower gears better. Street RS, lighter, a bit more flickable, and handles a bit better in the bends. Around the bends, not much difference in how fast you can go. Street is probably a bit quicker. On the straight Speed RS will leave the Street RS standing. Is the Speed RS worth the extra £3k, (there's a deal on right now, more like £2k) probably not, unless you like lots of low end grunt. Which I do ! So for me the Speed RS is the winner, but the Street RS is a very good bike, and if you're good at gear changing (I'm not) the Street RS will not be a lot slower than the Speed RS.

The street rs is a little but of a legend in its own right.when it launched back in 2016-18 no one has seen such a incredible middleweight naked machine with class topping software,hardware and performance

🔥🔥Great video - The 2021 Speed Triple appears to have a major update coming🔥🔥

Really nice vid & review. You guys make a good team. I always enjoy this type of chat review set up & Gregorio lol isn't afraid to give an opinion which is good. Personally as I don't do big miles, I would go for the street out of the two as it's smaller, lighter, cheaper & I can use more of it more of the time.

I’m looking to get one of these two,as a play thing. I think I’m leaning towards the speed triple after your reviews.Many thanks .

After seeing your great review and going for a test ride I pick my speed triple 1050rs 2019 up today keep doing what your doing thanks regards jason

You mentioned deals to be had on the speed RS at Triumph dealers now. I was looking around at one one of these as my next bike. I spoke to my local dealers who offered me their ex demo with 500 miles on it for £10,500 😳😳 I hadn't tested the Tuono or Ducati Monster 1200s yet so I turned it down. Put my money on a new 1200s Monster in the end. Waiting for the Sept 1st new reg to pick it up. Keep up the good work, enjoy your videos mr LCR 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I’d definitely pick the speed. Another great review and a good watch.

I own a 2017 speed triple S in black. I personally can’t fault it. The street stock sounds better. But I like the low down grunt of the Speed. In the end I don’t think you can go wrong either way. 👍🏻

Got my Street Triple S A2 2020 two months ago (and man am i in love), already dreaming of one of these two when i upgrade my license in two years and ridden the s with 95ps for some more time :D

Destination Triumph, Washington pointed me over here. Having been on both, defo felt like the speed was a more “mature” choice, the street felt harder to relax on and a lot more “racey”. The speed felt like it was being what it I wanted it to be. Excellent review btw!

Nice Format on the video, very professionally done.

Thanks guys a great review. As a first litre bike coming up from a smaller bike, the Speed is a great option. Easy to ride, smooth, enough naughty but also a gentleman. I have enjoyed owning the 2016 Speed R and highly recommend it. I think I'm now ready to move to something like a KTM SDR next, 2020 model. In comparison I found the Street Triple like an excitable teenager, energy, agile and it made me want to throw it around a lot but I got over wanting to ring its neck and ultimately I was happy to get back to the lovely planted feel of the Speed. Both great bikes for different reasons.

It really comes down to where you ride , how long you ride , and how fast you ride. I ve owned a 2011 Speed Triple for 5 years, and the extra power and weight makes the bike feel planted and more comfortable for longer touring rides, but also for high speed cornering. If you commute a lot in city traffic, you don't plan on doing too many roadtrips, and the roads you ride for fun are twisties with "reasonable" speeds then the street will be better. But if you want a sexier single armed swingarm, you enjoy longer rides, and you ride more open roads with fast 180 km/hr sweeping turns, then the speed will be better. I think the Speed also just looks better in general, a bit more beefy and single sided swingarm is way nicer. The sound of the Speed with my Sc project is also amazing. :)

This weekend I rode my 2015 Triumph Speed Triple 1050,I did a 350 mile ride mostly in the Mts and twisties.I just sold my 2016 Yamaha R1 but I still have the 2015 Triumph Speed Triple 1050 and a 2009 Ducati Monster 1100.I forgot how great this bike is,smooth with plenty of power.The Triumph 1050 is perfect for me because I'm 6'2 and it just feels more comfortable.I got rid of the heavy dual exhaust and have it tuned with an SC project CRT low mount in titanium.I shaved well over 20 pounds.Now my Monster 1100 is much smaller and lighter the 1050 just has more power everywhere.Think of the 1050 as a Rolls Royce ghost and the street triple as an Aston Martin Vantage.One is smoother has more power,while the other is lighter and more peaky.

I really like the sit down review format👍

I preferred the speed over the street because of the geometry more forgiven on the speed triple.When i tested the street triple my knee's ached like bugger ,whereas the speed i loved more at 5' 9" 32 inside leg.

Speed Triple. Hands down. It's a monster.

I have the 2020 street triple 765rs and love it, only thing I'm not happy with is the engine has cut out a few times and nearly been rear ended. Going back to dealership again.

I loved the comparison and duel reviews. Awesome job!

Great format Chopsy....and Gregory. These comparisons with the two of you are great 👊🏻👊🏻

Also have toured Belgium and France on the Street. So it is a brilliant alrounder.

Good comparison guys. Ive often wondered between them being a Triumph lover and owner. Ive noticed every video on Triumphs, The comments always have one or to saying super Duke. Its better, Lets race them. Myself i wouldn't want roar hooligan power all the time. I want power and excitement when i feel like and i like to travel long rides without the drama other times .So if i was interested in super dukes i would look them up. They must be sales people for them i think.

Interesting video...I’ve always had a soft spot for the Speed.

had speeds for years, love them, Street RS at the moment fantastic bike, no reason to change but if the new speedy is a bigger street with more power, whats not to love ?

Great video as I'm currently considering both these bikes! Bit of feedback though: I tried listening to this video without watching, but as you keep referring to the bikes as "this bike" and "that bike" it made it impossible to know what bike you were talking about without keeping track of which bike who of you were riding the time. Hadn't thought much of it before but I suppose that's why reviewers often insist on spelling out the name of the vehicle to make it easier to follow, watching or not.

Love this format chops, think Greg was a superb co host too - you bounced off each other well

I was watching your review really getting into it, then started to smell oil and fuel - thought wow!! Amazing watching the video of you two on bikes is reminding me of what the bike smells like! Then I realised I had my bike in the front room sight next to me haha...

I was thinking of getting the Speed Triple you've answered all my questions on the video 👍

FYI this is the first video I've watched of you guys and it took me a third of the video to figure out who was who and what bike was what and what bike was what when you guys were sitting down.

Bravo and good on you both for a great and useful review!

Anything with “Speed” in the name has to be the best!!

Key less so got to keep swapping the keys between us😂😂😂whereas otherwise you wouldn’t 😉. Nice review and lucky to be able to swap between bikes back and fore but big difference in price so explains why Speed is higher spec and I prefer it’s dash 👍🏻

David Ebbs I understand why people install a low boy on speed’s for weight purposes but I find it takes something away from the bike. You still loose 3kg’s with a set of carbon oval SC cans, and they sound much better than those baffled arrows. Love the look of the arrows but to me, they’re a bit “all show and ney knickers”. Remove the baffles and the thing will pop and bang till your Heart’s content. It’s addictive.

Great comparison vid , nicely done 👍. I think triumph needs to work on those headlights (butt-ugly).

Occam's razor...states that the simplest explanation is most likely the right one" and that is GET THEM BOTH!

Excellent video. Having never ridden either, I was surprised that the Street might be more up my, er, street. Well done.

Great vid! 👍 Love my GSXR but now I want a Street Triple damn you! 😁

Ah so pleased to see your video as always. 😀 the combination of the two of you reviewing the bikes, works really well. We very much enjoyed it. My wife was trying to work out why you mentioned Cornwall. I had to explain it not Cornwall. Torque not Torquay! 😀👍

I prefer the speed for it's stability and grunt, it's more relaxing day to day. Instant overtake torque, growly sound. Feels like a man's bike. The Street is great fun but feels more like the kind of bike you take out on the weekends and trash, if you prefer bikes like the Honda CBR600RR you might also prefer the Street over the Speed.

I like grunty torque because I ride a tricked-out, hopped-up FireStorm that is oodles of fun to ride. In this comparo, if I had a great deal of extra cash on hand, I'd wait for the 2021 Speed Triple RS, which is set for both aesthetic and horsepower upgrades. The exhaust will no longer be undertail, which will lower the center-of-gravity slightly and thus improve handling and balance through corners. On the other hand, if I were looking to get a great deal, I might wait until Spring and then try to work an outstanding deal on a 2019 or 2020 Speed Triple RS. The 2019-2020 Speed Triple RS is an excellent motorcycle, and the design of the Arrow undertail titanium exhaust makes it easy to grind-out and remove the baffle in order to get a nice, throaty "triple" sound.

The street rs is a race breed bike... much more feel and top end speed. The speed is heavy metal naked street bike :) it has nothing to do with racing and you can feel that. Choose what you like but make no mistake these are different bikes in the DNA. For me the Street RS is just epic...

Great comparison guy's. I love the look of the street triple but would like engine of the speed triple. A combination of the two. (A streed triple!) Lol 😁

Great video Chops, considering the Street for my next bike so good to hear both your thoughts!

Great bike for the money, everything looks great besides that hideous headlight... Puke! They need to redesign the front, even the Z900 is looking better from the front.

Another great review but twice as much fun thanks Chops

Speed. Obviously 😂 haha. Great video guys 👍🏼

G'day Mr Chops. A great road test and conversation about the merits of these two bikes. Gregs input to the to the video rates a mention as well. Well, for me i think the Street shades the Speed by a smidgen. In a drag race the Speed would get over the top of the Street but not by much but in the twisties the Street would runaway from the Speed. I say this because of it's lighter weight and quicker steering. This depends on the riders of course, tall and fat or medium and thin, mmm.

Cracking comparison video yet again chops, this series is great, very informative and interesting having two opinions, how about KTM superduke R / superduke GT. 👍

Thoroughly confused in the end. Would’ve helped to have the bikes side on as opposed to head on. Choice depends a lot on what you want the bike for, funds and whether you’re a good enough rider to justify the extra. I’m not but I like the carbon fibre more than the plastic - more expensive if you drop it.

Great comparison video guys!

Btw the screen on the speed is the same on the older street triple rs. It was changed for the 2020 model street for some reason. I have the same dash as the speed on my 2017 Street RS

Awesome comparison vid guys, I think if someone offered me a Speed Triple RS with the same mods I have done to my 765 for loose change, I would be so very tempted, I had a go on the Speed S and was hugely impressed. Now if the rumoured 1160 Speedy happens, my 765 will poss be looking for a new home... maybe! :D haha TBH, I was out on my 765 today sans cameras and boy oh boy is it absolutely plenty fast enough with enough spare to scare.... but the torque of the 1050 is lovely! (as is the cruise control)
