  • the speed triple is THE hooligan bike

  • The lack of answers actually says a lot about the Street Triple reliabilty;) I'm going with the Monster 796. Anyway, thanks!

  • @RicardoSS85 I have had my street triple for three years and I have not had a single problem at all.

  • People, I'd appreciate some opinions about possible reliability problems with the Street Triple. Mainly timing chain tensioner problems, oil leakage in the head gasket, coolant leakage in the radiator hoses and faulty electronics. Thanks a lot.

  • @RicardoSS85 I got mine almost 3 years now and no problems what so ever , got plenty of long miles on it , doing roadtrips etc , no probs what so ever . Though i must say , i really take good care of all my bikes . I also do most of the maintenance myself, so no unexpected surprises will pop-up . It only goes to the dealer for tire/brakepad changes etc.

  • Thats how I ride to work everyday

  • eewwww weeee! I need My nut's to much for that! LOL

  • Thats why you should not buy ex-demo bikes.

  • Bouncing off the rev limiter while sliding sideways is pretty damn cool.

  • street triple the No.1

  • 0.22 just beautiful

  • I'm selling my Gladius and I really want a Street Triple. But I'm not sure about the reliability. Can anyone share some opinions? Thanks a lot.

  • @odracirseraoseia1999 triumph675net best website

  • @odracirseraoseia1999 I haven't had any serious problems with mine. Last year it had trouble starting, like it would take 2 or 3 tries even in nice weather on a cold start. Oddly enough, the problem disappeared since I took it out of storage this spring.

  • Great Street. Green like mine ;)

  • Triumph = Top

  • Dunno who's more nuts - Kevin or the dude on the floor with his legs wide open!?! WTF its a cheap vasectomy at the worst...

  • That would come in handy in London traffic!

  • 1:06 hes tough... really

  • The guy about lost his nuts, would not try that ever....hahah sick video though

  • a no ma we ese we ta loko we

  • this bike is sweet it looks awesome in black with the rider wearing all black safety gear and black helmet

  • The onlky thing better than watching this video is actually riding an R3. I like my Harley but I LOVE my Rocket

  • nice!!!!!

  • kevin is a pro

  • kevin sei er mejo

  • Great stunt rider!

  • Poor bike. Damn stunters.

  • Bike available in a truimph showroom near you soon .. 1 carefull owner

    BEWARE!

  • street totally owns ducat. plus, sihtalian bike sound awfully bad and arent realiable

  • I'm afraid I have to disagree, I'm not going to say anything wrong about Ducati here, but I'm driving a Speed for about 2 years now and never had any problems. Of course very personal but the sound of a threecilinder is quite nice especially with the Arrow slip-ons and you have both of best worlds, torque and speed. 60% way up on the market is quite enough proof that Triumph is very reliable and f*cking fast. For me probably the best motorcycle in the world in engineering and beauty.

  • i was talking about italian bikes ;)

  • All apologies, after re-reading your mail, I realise this. Next time I will read the mail better. Probably because my mother-tongue is Flemish! ;-) Take care and thanks for the Triumph support ;-) Are you on facebook? Cheers Peter

  • this happens, my mother tongue is french. yes iam

  • @pverdonckt

    Absolutely Dam Right !!!

  • street triple, my future bike ( i hope:D)

  • i originally wanted the 696 but we went for a test ride on both and i must say that the speed triple is a much more powerful, and well built engine, besides its naturally good looks... it is good for stunts low down poer for cruising round town and still has the grunt to perform when asked.... i went with the triple

  • i think its showing wat the rider can do

  • still one of the greats without the big rear sprocket as well,and on a lovely triumph..good on ya Kev....

  • This arsing around is just plain boring!

  • the ducatis arent good 4 wheelies because the oil falls back into the air box or something and then ur engine isnt gettin lubed....blow up then....

  • jdouglas996 thank you for reply :) I would have to ride both bikes, These days dealers most of the time wont let test ride new bikes :( so how the hell im supposted to know what im buying just like a car. same thing. Yea they worry cause you gonna crash or something. I want a rare bike from 07 and on 9.500 out the door no more than that. I love the new ducati 848 also I was sitting on it its not realy that heavy hypermotard is pretty cool too but yea both of them cost 13.000 $ before tax so on

  • Holy feck batman,now that wuz impressive,gonna say byebye 2 my R1 and get 1 of these S triples...

  • Is this better than Ducati Monster 696 ? its similar price, I dont know really which one is better, I like the looks of the new monster.

  • You should definitely get the triumph its 107hp vs 78hp... the ducati is better looking and has better brakes, but the raw power is in the ST :)

  • that horsepower rating can be decieving though, the ducati is a twin cylinder, the torque and power deliverey is different. They are pretty evenly matched, the winner will depend on the better rider

  • I was doing some research and they both have the same brakes. triumph dropped nissin and switched to brembo. ducati looks better, but more power is in triumph. supposedly ducati ahs a better ride and in my opinion looks better. I originally wanted a street triple until i saw the new 696 hope this helps.

  • you should check the cost of ownership on these bikes - triumph has ducati well beat out.

  • where did you find that info? I checked it out at the dealership and maintenance on the ducati is $90/hr. the triumph is $70/hr. both hopefully only require oil changes. let me know if you know more info. take care.

  • i believe its the other way round, it has Nissin two pot sliding calipers with sintered pads now

  • The triple has more power and the 3cil. sound.

    the 696 is ducati... and the brute 2cil sound.

    looks are personal, both about the same price and maintenance costs.

  • The triple has more power and the 3cil. sound.

    the 696 is ducati... and the brute 2cil sound.

    looks are personal, both about the same price and maintenance costs.

  • I test rode a daytona 675 as the street triple was full and loved the sound. I'm still torn between the speed and street but the street is so light and narrow. So far I'm leaning towards the street T. Now I have to wait a couple years until my car is paid off to trade in my aprilia.

  • fuck me these guys can ride. lol i got a honda but i've always had my eye on a triumph street triple. does anyone knoe what the going price of one of these babys is atm? £?

  • fullfunk I totally agree with you I compared prices yesterday and you're right its a sweet bike with affordable price

  • Man, that is some very sick riding.

  • THIS BIKE IS SICK I WATCHED ALL THE NAKED BIKES VIDEOS AND SPECS AND THIS IS THE ONE WITH BETTER PRICE/POWER THE COMPETITION ONLY COMES FROM BRUTALE,TNT,BUELL,ETC BUT THOSE BIKES ARE LIKE 12K this one is 8K, AND ITS PRETTIER THAN THE NEW HORNET FZ6N

  • MA SEI UN GRANDE!!

  • great! and controlled! haha

  • I'm positively speechless! Can't wipe the smile from my face after watching this. Love the bike and the stunts. Thanks for posting this!

  • That is some crazy driving. 5 stars.

  • I still take Speed Triple over the Street Triple

  • Sick

  • son mongo...der soll mal fahren lernen ohne 3 bikes am tag zu verschleißen...

  • They can only import 100 Street Triples because that's as many as Triumph can make for them. Worldwide demand for the Streets is far beyond what Triumph expected.

  • went to a dealer near seattle, i guess triumph is only importing about 100 street triples this year they said. so i bought a speed triple instead for a grand more and the thing rocks.

  • that prove that its a handly mother fucker bike

  • carmichael the best

  • 1:07 is amazing

  • I wish I had THAT much control over my Speed Triple!!!!

  • for cool stuff go to bikers inner circle

  • Incredible!!!

  • MOTHER FUCKER!!!!

  • im not going to buy THAT one thats for sure lol

  • Strepitoso!! Kevin è superumano quando fa queste cose!!

  • Im not into stunting, although I can pull a wheelie in second. But I give props where there due. That guy is really good. not to mention at 1:07 in the video, I would have Shat myself If I would have been laying down there.
