Pickle Rick it’s definitely a love hate situation for people with the headlights - I obviously love them 😂

I fell in love with the look back when I bought a 98 Speed Triple with the BIG dual headlights. Awesome machines, think I need to get one again...

Russell Telker do it 😈

sameeeee

Same for me. Last May I went to a dealer to an open demo ride day and I had never paid any attention to Street/Speed triples in the past because I didn't like the look of them. But the new (or 2018 model) version in black and red just had that something in it and I test rode it and liked it a lot. Then I found myself looking at its pictures on the dealer's website often and eventually I bought the very same bike :)

Romano Sparks they’re a right laugh, thanks man

Kiel Herman thanks man

Scott Peterson glad to hear it bud

Phil Hawkins don’t blame you 😂

I'm thinking of upgrading my 2017 MT09 to a 2017 Speed R seeing as that's 10k cheaper than the RS, but after watching this I might have to live on bread for a while too 😭

charlie crocker thanks bud

Sign for mine today pick it up a week when new plates come out FUCKING buzzing going to be a long week till i get my mitts on it oh happy day's

Michelle Tilley glad to hear it. There’s an older review of the Speed R vs Street RS as well that I did if you’re interested ✌🏼

Craig Mason glad to hear it 🤘🏼

kammyTT white all day bro 👌🏼

James Norris I’m jealous!

@@DaytonaDays awwww you need to get one too!! Picked it up and boy is it amazing! Super happy with it!! 👍👍

Travis and Twyler good to hear 👌🏼

Any complaints? What did you have before? I'm thinking about getting one I have the S1000R right now. Thank you

Not one complaint, its an amazing ride. I rode a XSR 900 before this, great bike, but the speed triple RS is a few lvls above it. The S1000R is a great ride man, I cant offer a sincere comparison, but I love my Speed... I can be a hooligan, I can go on long rides, I can take the curves and I've seen videos of it being a great track bike, its really a one bike fits all kinda a bike... at least to me.

Nandakishore Mohanram thanks bud

Ed Wilson hopefully you liked it? 😅

Jool thanks bud

Peter Hatfield had no idea hey did that! Wonder if the Speed can? 🤔

Yes they can including an auto quick press for 3 flashes and a longer press for a distance and time before the indicators stop. Great video thanks.

Tim Williams thanks man

Tim Williams yup all in the settings

Peter Hatfield it does.. but can someone tell me how to get the tyre pressure monitor showing?

Ah Siao she’s definitely a bigger bike for sure

Comments from several forums indicate that they rather get the 765RS then the Speed RS as the upgrade is overshadow by this new 765RS

Ah Siao I think it’s more a lot of people are trying to justify their purchase... However I always say to people, buy what you like more. I prefer the Speed, some people prefer the Street, everyone is different I guess 🤷🏽‍♂️

That's right !! Speed immerse torque will be so enjoyable as there is no replacement for displacement. 765 no doubt will handle better on the street but Speed on highway is much more stable. To each of its own

Dubble D I agree 100% with your statement. Obviously my opinion is just that, an opinion and not imperial evidence, but having owned a 2018 Street Triple RS for a year, I prefer my 2019 Speed Triple RS. My new Speed has noticeable grunt and pulls much harder than my Street RS. The cruise control and heated grips are also very practical features which are not to be taken lightly, especially if you ride in all weather conditions and long rides. The fit and finish on the Speed RS is also a cut above the Street RS. Just my opinion overall.

Poucher Col thanks bud, I must say I haven’t heard anything myself. However if you’re buying a new one you’ll be covered under warranty. Up to you though, if you go looking, every bike will have a horror story in a forum somewhere - which is why I steer clear of them 😂

HamSpamJamLamb yeah he’s a top bloke, unfortunately I won’t be getting one 😢

karl Tempest I haven’t had enough time on a Superduke, but I could guarantee the Speed is a better finish, would imagine better in the corners too, but the power of the Duke is unrivalled

Mike in NH do it mate, nice one 😂

Dubble D I've got to get the misses kitchen redone first, and then it's on...

Mike in NH I don’t like this ‘adulting’ thing we have to do 😂

Dubble D I know... but as the ol saying goes "happy wife, happy life"

Mike in NH well I guess I learn something new everyday 😂

LaughMuBai definitely recaptured the hooligan side of things!

Maybe the yellow Porsche guy was actually being playful, teasing you a bit, one "speedy" to another. It looked like he was making room for you on the left on purpose, and there was no chance at all he'd risk scratching his left fender with a sudden jerk to the left. Any excuse to turn your speedy a few extra times is always a good thing!

Anthony Smith I’d say it’s probably still too much, but it’s your call bud. I’d say at least go for an older 675 Street R to learn on. No matter how many courses you do it’ll never make up for miles travelled and the experience(s) you get along the way. Whatever you do take it easy, make sure you can stop in time to not hit whatever you’re racing towards 👌🏼

Triumph OnTour sounds like faults rather than characteristics bud, I’d take her back to be tested!

My local dealership are crap and have been no help since I told them of the problems. The powerbands I can live with but the quickshifter issue from 4th to 5th is almost dangerous. Don’t use the shifter going up without bliping the throttle now, just in case !

Also bud, once you get used to the downshifter... it’s fucking heaven ! If ever you fancy a blast welcome to swap bikes for a few hours 😉👍🏻

Triumph OnTour who’s your local dealer bud?

Triumph dealer in Dunmow, Essex. They said first that the gear box needs proper running in (already done a week in the Pyrenees and back and weekend riding and done just under 3k miles and still no difference). When it had its run in service, one of the technicians said that Quickshifters are crap anyway and not really designed for purpose which made me laugh. I asked if there was a chance of re-updating the software in case that was an issue as its so frequent on that particular change but got nothing back. With all the sexy extras i paid not much short of £15k for the bike and had hoped for better service but other local guys in garages i know locally have all had relatively detrimental things to say about the dealer which is a shame. I am actually going to chase them up again today to see if they will even take a look at it for me. Pain in the arse - other than that i love the bike, its epic !

poit444 The S model is still a peach 👌🏼

I have the same model 😁

They punched the Tiger up to 1215cc, why couldn't they make the Speed at least 1200cc? haha

Jim 86 you’d be surprised at just how quick in a straight line these are, would be good to get a Duke to compare it actually 🤔

Yeah I suspect the subtle things about it would make it pretty quick, such as the fact it's got good torque everywhere so it's pulling stronger for longer. May not have the highest trap speeds but the time would be good.

I’m in Woking mate. If you fancy a quick blat some time let me know, would make an interesting comparison 👍

I'm in central USA. haha

drzgazh nah, up AND down - full on auto blipper

Gabriel Scott muhahaha 😈

Andy I they’ll announce another upgrade on it by then 😂

Lol! Yeah almost certainly. Your videos are getting better and better, Its about time we put a face to a voice. So I can say hi if I ever see you at Jack Lilleys or Bulldog

Andy I thanks man, but I’m trying to gain subs not lose them 😂😂😂

Ok so I couldn't wait and have got a white RS coming. Hope it's a nice step up from the S

Andy I nice bro, you’ll love it - they’re awesome 💪🏼

steve harvey steve harvey thanks man

Michael Weaver I’m not the biggest fan of it either, it’s fine, but would look much better without them

Malcolm Pritchard that’s what’s cool about the Street though - you can just pin the bastard all day and enjoy it!

mista bubble try both mate - I haven’t tried the new R6 personally, but I have tried the older one. Would have my Daytona over it anyday

That's going to be a fun day :)

They had a 08 Daytona at our local dealer. I'd only just passed my test. The dealer said it was too much bike for me. He was probably right :)

mista bubble yeah - build up to it ;)

Zachary Lechevalier 😂

People forget that getting more power doesn't always pay off because you add more weight. Weight is always worse for corners and handling. Sure, you can't have 150 bhp and 380 pounds of weight, but you can have 400 pounds and 125 bhp and that's often more worthwhile than about 460 pounds weight.

Lifted_Above I think it depends on what type of bike it is as well, the Street and the Speed get compared a lot (even by myself) but they’re two very different bikes.

Zachary Lechevalier I did. I had a 2018 Street Triple RS which I had for 1 year. Not a bad bike at all, but the Speed Triple RS is just that much better and just looks more upscale. Also the cruise control and heated grips are nice features which I use since I ride year round.

Matthew Jackson probably release a new one once you’ve bought it - like what happened to me 😂

drzgazh thanks man

Charlie R well what do you know huh? Indie potatoes 😂😂😂

When I had a test ride I turned them back to manual. The issue for me was.... to do a lane change you pressed it for a short time, to do a junction with self cancelling after 8 seconds you pressed it for a long time. I couldn't get used to the short or long press depending on whether you wanted lane change or a junction. I think I'd leave them self cancelling but without lane change if I had one. The home screen is quite cool, there's lots to adjust on it, bike needs to be stationary and you press the home button on the right hand switch gear to enter into it. Full manual available on the triumph website aswell if anybody wants to see what things you can adjust.

Halfdead Rider hahaha! How did I forget to miss that! 😂😂😂

Why would you buy a bike that's going to be discontinued in a couple of months?

Dmitri Felbinger thanks man, good luck with them ✌🏼

Joao Soares, are you talking about KTM?

Duke will breakdown

and you have this from what reliable source?

DB Cooper it definitely did, firstly the weight and secondly the map and extra BHP

C Waltzy I’ve never tried the Monster, but from what a few have said - it’s not even in the same league 🤷🏻‍♂️

Barabonc yeah no baffles for me, but if you did the same to the RS I’m sure it’ll sound just as good. Can’t remove the baffles from the Arrows

Stephon Devante welcome back I guess 😂😂😂

Jackopollo me too bud 👌🏼

Daulton Grothaus if you can afford it comfortably then why not? But definitely try t for yourself - you’ll be surprised I promise

dave xs thanks man, Street RS is still awesome though!

Triumphant.Subaru 😈

Jamal M definitely not!

Thanks for answering! Could you elaborate? (Take in mind that i’m a reaponsable person) is a street triple good to start with? In Belgium (where i live) we’re practicing and doing the exam for our permit on a yamaha mt-07.

Jamal M I don’t think it’s about being responsible bud, it’s about experience. Being able to react and know how to handle quite a fast bike takes time. If you don’t have any experience of that kind of speed/acceleration, then your mind just won’t be able to cope with how fast you need to react or how to correct something if it goes wrong

Frank Baumann I’d go white - they look mega

Oricalcz sorry when did I supposedly cut this car off???

@@DaytonaDays 11:28 I'm not trying to troll its not my nature but I've lost a bike over aggressive riding and the bad part was it wasn't mine. Granted it wasn't my fault I was rear ended but my friend was out a bike I couldn't replace. It's a shitty feeling I'd hate to have it happen to someone else. You'll point out it was stopped, at a light.

Oricalcz of course I’m going to point out that it was stopped and at a red light?! Bikes typically filter to the front of the queues in the UK to stay ahead of traffic. You’ve made it sound like I just cut him up at 90mph, seriously bud, you’re over reacting. Absolutely nothing wrong with that manoeuvre, sorry you lost your bike, but going round and criticising others riding isn’t the way to spread a message.

Thomas Edward thanks bud 😂

Mundane44 thanks man

karl Tempest thanks man

When you getting a 2018 then..lol.All the best mate..

karl Tempest when I win the lottery I guess 😅

Hi mate gearbox issues sorted on the latest model,not so clunky.??

The Incredible Sulk better looking, just as fast, just as bonkers, but I’d put money on the Speed being faster in the corners - and it’s better looking

SED KEDZ if you’re comparing both models out of the box then the RS is 10x better. Revs higher, more agile, etc. But with mine I’ve got forged wheels, a low boy, a few other mods that make the difference negligible. You wouldn’t be disappointed with a 2017 R, but test ride both 👍🏼

@@DaytonaDays Thanks for replay. One more question which model would you choose R from 2017 or S from 2019? Reg. Paul

SED KEDZ I’d choose the R 👍🏼

@@DaytonaDays Hello Dubble D I still did not purchase any Speed. I read a lot of opinion from FB forum group Speed Triple that RS have some issues with dash, QS, 4th gear issues, keyless start issues so I thought to purchase R model from 2017. Have You also heard about such problems with RS? Maybe it will be safer to buy the R model? Reg.

SED KEDZ the RS is a much better bike, but if you’re worried then go for the 2017 model

The Street is still more nimble, but for me the Speed is just the right amount of nimble and punch where as the Street I feel as if I’m ringing it’s neck - still bags of fun though 👌🏼

Dukey_40 they’re such a decent bike ain’t they?! I do like an MT10, but I love a Speed 👌🏼

Spartan III - MotoKnight Productions me too 😅

Lifted_Above mate! I know! The amount of people that mistake mine for a Street! If it’s not bad enough they’re spelt/sound the same - they look similar too! 😂😂😂

GreasyHands that sucks - you say someone is beating it up? You know who’s got it?! If you were going to a 17 Speed R you’d feel the weight, but the RS is different, might be heavier than the Street, but they’ve lightened it in the right areas - you won’t regret it trust me

@@DaytonaDays It was stolen last Wednesday and they just found it yesterday. It has been spray painted and has scratches. Was wishing it was totaled but yeah I think at least for right now I am gonna stick with the street, I sat on one a few days ago and i can feel the wait plus i can barely tip toe (5'6"). Its a shitty situation but thank you for the response.

Cornish_ Boy I was the same until I used it in a real world scenario - now I’m all for it!

nick bio because it’s a Naked Sports bike, not a SuperSport

@@DaytonaDays so? It has 150hp,it has the power

nick bio yes... and no fairing with different gearing to something like a GSXR1000

@@DaytonaDays but even with lower gearing(it has more torque)it still produces enough power for more than 250km/h,yet a weaker zx6r can easily manage much more

nick bio firstly it can do 265kph, secondly, the gearing is the reason, if the gears can’t go higher than 165mph, then it doesn’t matter how much power it has it won’t go above 165mph... end of story... aerodynamically it isn’t built for top speed, more 0-100mph if anything

I’ll go and watch it now 👍

Yep awesome first impressions, thanks fella! I need to get one booked in for a demo. It will be a great compare.
