  • Very nice review buddy....i'l be getting mine this year in India....juz cant wait for it no more!

  • Hello,

    I just had my ST 08" white fusion

    And I would like to know how do you set up the blue led shift lite ??? I can't set up!! Please some one help me out;(

  • Well I thinks it's a really good review-honest and open.

  • @56yqc Thanks ! - iwll posta 2 Year follow up when I get time

  • Thanks for the video. I was tired of seeing all the other Triumph reviews and found yours to be refreshing. I'm looking for a new bike and this one is definitely high on the wish list

  • @hkm7788 Your welcome....Its a great bike - very powerful and light

  • @hkm7788 Me too thats why I posted this one

  • I'd like to see a follow up vid. Of your thoughts after 2yrs. With the bike (if you still have it) mods., reliability, maintenance. They must be good bikes cause I'm having a hard time finding a used one.

  • @Bulgdoom You are clearly a moron as well and deserve to crash your own bike not me. When you fall off and knock your head, hope it sets it right.

    What a jobless idiot you are as well....

  • Although your intentions were good, this video is very disorganised. You didn't make any plan beforehand, so you tend to keep moving around back and forth, uming and ahing. The camera is moving about too much so we cannot see things clearly before you move on again. Next time, i suggest you make a list of the things you want to show and say and then stick to it.

  • @cynic150  you really are a cynic If you disliked it so much why did you watch the whole thing? Add idiot150 to your handle as well. Is this well thought through enought for you?

  • @chetured Can't handle a little bit of constructive criticism? At no point did cynic150 insult you, he merely pointed out what could have been done better. Your reaction was immature and uncalled for.

  • @snipey14 - Snipe This !

    You call my comments immature ? What about your comments then? It is what it is - an amateur review wasn't meant to be perfect. Looks like you two, are birds of the same feather why dont you subscribe to cynic's channel instead o f watching mine?

  • @chetured I never said your video was bad - I quite enjoyed it, actually. All I'm saying is you could have handled that a little bit better as he makes valid points. I fail to understand why you felt the need to insult someone who was merely trying to help you improve your videos.

  • @VVoodstockRider No Gel seat -I plan on getting one though as well as the arrow cans

  • 8900 isn't that cheap for a FIRST bike... a 675cc engine can be TOO much for a lot of people. I started with a 250 and it is PLENTY of power and happy moments. I will adventually be upgrading to a 600cc or so engine, most likely this or a triple R

    Nice bike though!

  • @jflexe99

    Hohohoho ,and were youl'' find that,for 600cc only 4 cilinders,theyre not so stupid,you know

  • @jflexe99

    There are not that many bikes out there that are too much for a new rider. As long as you take your safety course, and drive safely, you'll be fine. The power on your bike gets dangerous when you start to drive dangerously. It's all about maturity and attitude.

  • @jflexe99 Well I am a new US rider, I know 150 and 250 cc bikes are fun but not enough power for really riding hard and fast/ the CCs come with weight too and design stability etc. Also you can kill yourself in a car or bicycle with no CCs as well. So saftey is always important. I highly recommend this bike ... Go get it ! Its fun ! Thanks for your post - Glad you liked the video

  • @jflexe99 I was comparing it everythign else tha twas out there that was new - Many similar bikes start at 10 - and BTW they even increased prices after I posted. Glad you liekthe bike !

  • Where did you order it?

  • The highbeams suck

  • @Bogie3Flare never got to use them realistically ...

  • About the wires, I don't think Iv ever even noticed the wires, thanks a lot

    lol

  • Is the stand one that locks into place or springed?

  • @samxtx1 its one springs

  • Hi guys-my first bike was a street triple.I bought it brand new just 3 weeks after passing my test.You should be ok if you show it respect.Six months later I got myself a 2006 Aprilia Tuono which is a different animal.But guess what.......I still got the streety cos i love it so much-its a fantastic bike and i never stop singing its praises!I 've done 9000 miles on it since Jan 2009.and 6000 miles on the Tuono since July.Roll on summer!

  • i want to get one of these bikes, but i'm a fresh graduate from the motorcycle school. i have no prior experience except the hours i spent rolling around the cones in an empty parking lot. do you think it's a safe bike to start from? i heard in the video...you stated something about this being your first bike, but you said "in U.S"...so i'm guessing you knew how to ride for quite some time now.

  • @MrGentlehand

    It's safe as long as you ride safely. Don't do anything stupid and pay attention, you should be fine.

  • you should get a cheap beater bike to really learn on good options are ninja 250 ninja ex500 suzuki gs500. you don't wanna get a nice new triumph and drop it doing a newbie mistake

  • Yeah I agree with dropping a NEW bike would be bad. Im 18 and got my first bike two years ago. I got a 1998 Triumph Daytona 955. I have respected the power enough that I am alive still today. But holy balls it is fast haha.

  • A Ninja 250 would be a better starter bike it is also a REALLY fun bike, super light, looks great, it's just lacking the power. BUT I have ridden a Triple several times, I think as long as you are not an IDIOT with the throttle you could start out on this bike. The Triple is very light also, and very easy to handle, its a comfortable riding position too.Check Triumph's web site for the DEMO events, U can ride it there. Check carefully for the details, they do have rules to let you ride.

  • @MrGentlehand Notice he hasn't replied yet and you made this comment two months ago. He probably died on it. My first ride was a GS500. I think going any higher on a starter could get you in trouble. Being responsible might help. Really the fact is that riding is extremely dangerous no matter what. I had a GS500 and it did all I needed it to. Sat at 80 nice and easy on the interstate and gave me all the acceleration I could ask for.

  • @MrGentlehand Of course I'm also speaking with zero experience on a Street Triple. I'm looking to get one myself. No, I'm sure he's not really dead. I'm just jealous he has on and I don't!

  • if i ordered black and got green, i wouldnt have accepted it. having said that, you got the better color dude, the roulette green is bad ass. enjoy it and stay safe!

  • Dude hinds motorsports seems to have lost their right to sell triumphs. Anyway ... Green is still fun . But do you know Green in MC world is Kawasaki and nothing else

  • @chetured yea i know, i just bought a green ninja 650r, but the roulette green is still the best street triple color imho

  • Great!

  • how can u order a black one and get a green ? :/ thats fucked up love mine black triple, btw get the arrows :)

  • How much did you pay

  • what a first motorbike, wow just wow, enjoy it , the triumph street triple is a wonderful machine

  • Great walkround of a sweet bike - this machine can bite the unwary newbie tho - it's a beast! Hope you've had a great year. (For some reason I want one with a Tiger faring/nosecone.. can't understand why Triumph styled it so much on the Speed Triple when it's a different thing altogether)

  • ...and the underseat exhaust from the Daytona675..

  • (Even with a visor on).

    The tires that comes with it (dunlop qualifier) are farely good but they don't last very long.. if u are any agressive u will need to change these rear tires after 4000km. I am currently experiencing a littl problem with fuel injection, the bike stalls when it returns to idle. It looks like there has been a recall on 04-08 Rocket III.. i am still waiting for my dealership to phone me back about this issue. other than that i love my bike and i don't regret it

  • I own a 09 Jet Black Street Triple with arrow exhaust and would like to share my opinion about it. 106 HP for 360 Pounds (dry weight) is amazing, instant wheelies, great front breaks but it would be a bit better with bigger ones on the rear end. The seat is really low which is amazing for first timers but gets a bit anoying over the time.. some would say it is a bike for midgets. It looks good, it's a show off toy it's great for short distance travelling but not good for long trips..

  • what the hell? he ordered black and got green? what the hell kind of company did he buy it from

  • Thanks! Ive been looking for a real walk around by a normal guy. All the other videos Ive seen are either squids doing burn outs or Moto-journalist vomiting up the same crap you read in every bike reviews. Thanks again for a great vid.

  • Thanks Man !!

  • have you passed your bike test, just that in the vid you mention first bike, and didn't know you had to cancel the indicators?

  • you're the man! I did a demo on that bike yesterday. Picking up my Triple R in a month

  • How much faster is an R ? Also - I never really pushed any other bike hard- How much better are these bikes in your opinion than something like a GSX ?

  • R is not faster. In fact is the same as the regular triple. The only difference is front brakes and adjustable suspension, which makes it a little sportier.

  • and the handlebars are diff and the seat

  • i believe they have 2 or 3 more horse power.. but many more options like ajustable suspension, gel seat.. etc

    these bikes are not comfy at high speed.. u will prolly top speed 235-250 depending on your weight and acessories u have.. they have amazing torc though.. 69nm.. 360 pounds dry weight.

  • u gonna finish the battery ... :)

  • BTW, what do the blue lights blinking while you're revving the engine signify?

  • Its basically a visual rev limiter , you can set it to whatever you want so that you have a 3 light or 5 light indicator whne it reaches the rev limit you set it to.

  • I looked at decent old bike, they wer nto cheap and there was no fiancing etc available???? Also it woud be hard to sell a junker bike again. If I sold my strpl I would get almost what I paid for even after the year is up !!!

  • 8000 out the door seems to be pretty decent for a brand new Triumph, especially for a new rider.

    I know a lot of people say to go buy an old junker bike to learn on, however, if you buy a new bike or a bike with a decent sized engine, I think the new rider is more apt to respect the bike and be a safer rider keeping in mind the financial sacrifice they have made. I think this bike fits the bill for the above description.

    Just my opinion though.

  • Great video. I'm thinking of buying this bike as a beginner as well.

  • I highly recommend - easy to ride, maintain etc. and fun as hell !!! Looks Different from everything out there as well.

  • thanks man. great video!

  • thanks

  • did you test ride a speed triple at all to compare against the street triple?

  • actually no - but to tell you frankly this bike is fast and scary enough.......for me

  • like the guy said a few times, he's a new rider.

  • gotta say since i read about this bike and looked it up properly i fell in love with it, i currently have a cbr 125 as im learning i plan next year to buy this bike outright new fantastic review from just a normal person ...

  • thanks man ... ! I looked high and low for info couldnt find straight reviews so i made this.. my entire family laughs at it though

  • well, at first: Real good bike! I got a green one to.

    But before you get your arrows, buy a rear hugger and a tankpad. Not expensive, but necessary!

    Enjoy every mile of your street triple!

  • Why neccessary ?? just for looks ?

  • ofcourse not. The rear hugger for dirt & the tankpad against scratches on your tank.

  • Dirt ?

  • you know... when it rains, or when the road is a bit muddy: your bike could get very dirty. The rear hugger prevents that for a bit. But if you only ride your bike when the sun shines, than maybe you don't need a rear hugger. It has the same functionality as the front hugger, but than at the back wheel. You got your arrows allready?

  • Great review thanks a lot. I'm torn between the triple and the new 600 hornet.....

  • the 919 would e a good choice but the hornet is going to be a lemon.

  • nice bike dude. to think i don't usually like green but that would look so nice out and about not to mention with your awesome bell helmet!

    great review also.. have fun riding and be safe!

  • i ordered Black and got green - not much choice....

  • Yeah it was hard to get a color matching helmet - everything is kawasaki green if you go and look

  • Hey, it's Rahul. Great video, and congrats on the bike!

  • great video. will be my 1st bike too. definitely

  • If you don't mind how much out the door did it cost? It lists for 7999.00 I think. I'm guessing for taxes add about 750-800 or so. Is that about right or was there a high dealer markup?

  • 8000 out the door. 500 -750 for bellypan, fly screen and front nose... I think its not needed though...

  • Thanks for the response. I'm considering trading in my cbr600 and aprilia falco for one. I think the prices went up a bit at least for the 09's. I have new bike fever so bad it hurts and for around 8g's I think I may have to satisfy it. I will definitely get the arrow or whichever is the loudest exhaust they have for it to hear the triple roar.

  • never seen a clip good like this! compliments and enjoy your awesome ride!

  • The Street Triple truely is a great bike, I have a Speed Four (can't compare them...)

    But I don't think that the ST is a good beginner bike....I rode a ST when I started to ride.. but I decided to buy a Ducati Monster first.

    The Monster is good for beginners because it's low with a low bar.. it's good to learn how to manouver.....

    But then I got bored of it... and bought a blue Speed Four.. great bike!!! ^^

    Nice video btw...

  • Prefer green to black :)

    amazing bike

  • Ordered black and got green .....

  • thanks for the review! had a triumph america old man turned into me and snapped my foot and sent me flying...I roll on a 72 R75/5 BMW...its alot more fun than the america was...but I sat on a street triple today and I have to admit..comfortable..I love the engine too...

  • If anyone is thinking getting this for first time bike prepare to be easy on the trottle and dont drive above 60-80 km/h

    even at this speed you can get yourself killed and other people like pedestrian,etc because doing all the shifting, breaking cornering, looking at car drivers and people walking on the street you have to think fast and rookies tend to be slow on reaction.

  • Actually if your more than 25 years old you can take the driver license and ride right away above 25KW any CC, if your younger than 21 you have to wait 2yrs ridin only 25KW, after 2 years you have no limit.

  • First bike? are u havin a laugh.......????? People shud never be able to get on a bike this powerful when learning. Generally in europe ur limited to 33hp for 2 years after u have passed ur test and got ur full licence.

  • Dude, I have had my Jet Black Striple for 3 weeks now.  Absolutely love it. However, I have been careful to break 'er in according to the tank guidelines. I am really looking forward to see what she is like north of 8,000 rpm. I hear it is a totally different experience. Great for tooling around the city at lower speeds too.

  • I have pushed it up to 8 k - but h ave no guts to go faster its a little too fast for me.. Does it really soudn different ? Also I feel that the engine is soudning strained ? when I go to higher RPMs - Is that normal ?

  • Cool review - thanx. My Street Triple arrives October 2008...can't wait! regards David

  • Great review. Im placing my order at the end of the month to have one next spring...

  • Grande street!!
