Many thanks 👍

Thanks Roy ...yes these bring a massive grin 😁 Best wishes mark

@@markpulling12 And look at that weather!!!!

Hi Adrian great choice on the R and the silver colour Best wishes mark

Thanks Edward... great comment and yes they sound fantastic 😊 Best wishes mark

Hi Peter... thanks for the comment...I was lucky enough to have a long ride last week on a 21 R as well and a 20 RS both absolutely superb....near as damn it as good as the latest models ...the R had the standard rev counter which I like Best wishes mark

Ahh many thanks for the kind words Clive cheers mark 😊

Many thanks 👍 Best wishes mark

Hi David yes it's the best middleweight in my opinion Amazing bike Best wishes mark

Thanks David also consider the mt09 that's brilliant too Cheers mark

Many thanks I appreciate that 😊🙏

Many thanks Paul 😁

Many thanks Murray 😁 Best wishes mark

Thanks Brian I had a 500 mile go on an early 675 R ...very good memories of that one :)

Thanks Paul ...id love one too 😁

Make it a Tuesday evening when it's sunny & hot...one of the best bike nights in the UK...

Yes the R is still brilliant on the road Best wishes mark

None of them are really fast but for the Uk roads which are absolute dog shit it’s perfect 👍🏾

I’d definitely advise at least an hour demo before buying this , I bought the speed triple 1200 without testing it and I loved it at first, but now I just find it annoying and irritating to ride because day to day it’s just uncomfortable too fast. It doesn’t like going through traffic. It’s a bit of a waste of a bike in my opinion but I did have a ride on the street triple and I thought it’s perfect for UK roads as a do it all Bike , even though it’s not as powerful it makes up for it because it’s so comfortable to ride and it’s so light . 180 hp is a total waste of a bike but 130 is pretty much perfect 👍🏾

@@pcarts232 thanks couldn't agree more...130 ish HP is perfect and more than enough for UK roads Cheers mark

@@markpulling12 💯 👍🏾I’ve had my Speed Triple a year and honestly I’ve never been over 7000 Rpm yet because it’s already doing crazy speed! Can’t wait to trade it for the Street Triple Rs 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Thanks Paul ...try and get a test ride and let me know what you think vs your hornet? Best wishes mark

Many thanks nik :) 😁

The simple answer is because I wanted it 😂 The Ohlins feels so good. I think any particular feature on its own, perhaps not worth the premium. But all together it just seems to work. And if you find a brand new '22RS like I did on discount, the out the door is a lot closer than you'd think

Hi Gary many thanks....it's got to be best in class ...I know it's a lot more than the hornet/ gsx8s but gee wizz does it ride well !! Best wishes mark

Hi Steve the belly pan is standard on the R and Rs models of recent years and present model ...but like 10 years ago it wasn't I believe Best wishes mark

Hi the ninja 650 has clip ons that are quite high this has straight bars which offer a bit more control ...they are both quite comfortable....I prefer the triumph...the triumph is super smooth hardly any vibes at all being a triple Best wishes mark

Hi Trevor thanks for the comment Greetings to aus ... best wishes mark

The tuono is very good I've reviewed it but personally I'd go for the 765 ...it's superb... cheers mark

Hi Alex yes the street triple R and Rs are awesome machines.... would definitely like one in the future.. looking forward to your thoughts when you get a go on one Best wishes mark

You can fit cruise control

@@pcarts232 If I am spending £10k on a brand new bike then I want it to have cruise control or there to be an option for it. Not interested in aftermarket bodges for something that should be an integral feature of a bike.

@@alexmorgan3435 it’s fitted by Triumph with a Triumph part number it’s not aftermarket , also the dealer fitted £1000 of extra parts for free on my Speed Triple

@@pcarts232 Speed Triple is a different bike, different spec. The bike here is a Street Triple.

Hi Simon...the xsr has the brilliant tracer 9/mt09 engine...loads of power and torque..and looks retro and cool the street triple...is similar performance but a bit more revvy...and lighter handling...they really are both 5 star bikes can't go wrong with either ...I guess just go with what fits you best and the best deal best wishes mark

Had a 2021 Street Triple RS. Picked up a new XSR 3 weeks ago. XSR has a better engine and has more character. Tried the new 2023 RS, wasn't feeling it. Suspension might not be so good ( not by much) but brakes are top notch. Best back brake I've used! That blood engine - so good and great midrange. Looks great too, esp in blue. Real head turner.

Hi Patrick I had this conversation with the salesmen at triumph and they all agreed the R is the better value road bike ...I found the suspension to be perfect for the road ...the Rs is nicer in the display and switchgear etc plus higher spec ohlins but for me id get the R its much improved over the older model I think Best wishes mark

@@markpulling12 Many thanks, always happy to read your valuable opinions, especially when you say that the cheaper version can do as good for my needs!!

For me id go for id go for the R in the silver / grey because I feel it makes the better road bike ... Cheers mark

Agree. The RS comes in a lovely met red and a gorgeous yellow so no excuses.

Hi LEDs are standard on these ...maybe that option is for better blingy ones ? Cheers mark

@@markpulling12 Nice! That's puzzling then. The optional extra LED indicators feature a cast alloy housing so maybe the standard ones feature a plastic housing.

Hi any bike can be used for touring...but the best are ones that have big comfy seats and massive fairings ...this doesn't but you could easily ride it for several hours a day and 200 miles ...so it's ok for moderate touring plus it's more fun than a touring bike best wishes mark

Hi the 790 duke is much stronger in the midrange say 5 k rpm ...the triumph is just waking up then and flies upto about 12 k rpm whereas the duke is over and done by 9 k ish Best wishes mark

@@markpulling12 Thanks for the reply! 😃

Hi yes the cowl is a factory option cheers mark

Wow that's great thanks♥️ , cheers mate . 🤘

Hi Neil thanks for your comment as always best wishes mark

If you have any concerns just get your dealer to have a look at it The triple engine does sound and perform differently to an inline 4 Best wishes mark

@@markpulling12 thanks...any advice is important for me

The silver looks much better imo Cheers mark

the white is £200 more than the silver in UK

@@patrickrosello9583 ya it was erroneously priced higher where I live but they’ve corrected the same

As good as it gets very smooth up and down ....even at low revs and not full throttle it's good 👍 Cheers mark

No not all all. I would have definitely noticed that ...Perfect low speed manners for me .. couldn't fault the handling fast or slow ...funny isn't it how some reviews say things that most people don't even notice 😂😂 Best wishes mark

Thanks Mark, I was surprised when I saw the original comment from the Bike Magazine tester. It put me off buying one, but will now test ride one to see for myself 😊

@@frankpenton thanks Frank ... you'll be grinning from ear to ear I expect:)

The low speed manners of this bike are impeccable imho.

@@adrianlampard419 I'll second that Adrian :)

Hi they are sidi mag :)

Hi a little buzz at 7 k onwards but generally it's an awesome smooth engine cheers mark

@@markpulling12 thanks 🙏 for message. I really appreciate..I consider to buy this beautiful motorcycle 🏍️

Hi I found this very comfortable for long periods...I had an older rs and could ride it all day Best wishes

Yes all the time off camera lol 😆 ...I can't incriminate myself at super high speed if you rev a bike to max revs they are travelling at super high speed as you know ...I have my reputation to uphold with dealers .. public safety my safety ...the list goes on ...most dealers love the way I sensibly ride their bikes hence I get more keys Best wishes mark

@Mark Pulling fair play I see where you're coming from

Hi can you send any cooperation questions through my email... contact details on my channel Best wishes mark

Will do Duane Thanks for the comment Best wishes mark

Hi yes wheelie control No low rpm assist And it's 97db at 6000 rpm Best wishes mark

Jump up a level to the RS if you want the best colour schemes.

@@wl660 I had a 2021 Speed Triple RS and that was dull too, matt black with horrible yellow flourescant decals.

​@@applecorp so buy the bright yellow one🙂🌼😂

It’s the headlight lack of symmetry that annoys me. I’d buy tomorrow if they sorted that out. And I do know their logic behind it, just think it ruins many a bike

@@majordelays4909 Yeah not a fan of that but a lot of bikes have that "feature" which doesn't make any sense to me. My Tiger 800 xrt didn't do that and neither does my current bike, F900XR, thankfully.
