I have to agree with Mike Neeves, the guy has years of testing and racing bikes. The Street Triple has no vices, it's the most refined bike I've ever ridden, absolutely smooth under all conditions.

I feel proud to own a Triumph Street Triple. British bike. These others are imitation Street Fighters IMO. The Triumph is a true Street Fighter to the core as it's based on a real racing chassis. The others are trying to be both Motard and Street Fighter. Triumph got the Formula right the first time.

Kip Kipper I love that motard riding position! Currently riding a MT03 one cylinder, with is a girly bike but because of its amazing torque in the lower gearing range and the motard position i wheelie it like a mad man, highway wheelies, 12 o' clock, trowing my leg over the steering wheel that position is amazing! I am really looking forward to buying an MT09, for that little extra power i now miss, and i'm glad it has that motardish position. Bike feels AMAZING light by the way so it does also feel like one!

How would the Speed Triple compare to the BMW F800R?

I really really like how Kawasaki lets the Z800 present itself! Even though its a Naked bike, you can tell they really thought the presentation of the bike through! With its Gorgeous Motor sitting there like its sitting in a picture frame all nice and clean and on purpose! To me personally, the Z800 is definitely the best looking of them all!! Second would be Street Triple, Third... MV Agusta,

Where I live the triumph is 2 grand more than the Yamaha, so I'd still go with the FZ-09 (MT-09) with a few mods to sort out the bugs.

I have ridden so many bikes over my lifetime I'm 61 and looked at thousand's of them but the Mv Brutale is best looking bike period and i own a mt09

twitchy throttle on the mt-09 (fz-09 here in the states) has been worked out through new ecu mapping, but yes the suspension is utter garbage. pretty easy to remedy by swapping rear shock (done cheap by repurposing from older sportbikes) and front forks with revalve / spring kits. here in the states the price difference between mt-09 (fz-09) and street triple is NOT £200, but $4200. so in the US, the fz-09 is still a better buy, even having to spend the extra on suspension mods. if you're in the uk, however, the street triple would be a better buy.

Exactly.. Triumph just doesn't have quite the production capacity Honda / Suzuki / Yamaha etc have. So naturally if they don't put out as many, you won't see as many. But owning a Triumph Daytona 675R myself I can tell you (in my own personal option) it is the better motorcycle than others in its class. Better handling, build quality and overall performance (yes, a gsxr 750 will beat it in a straight line..) I have had a Japanese sport bike before the Triumph and they are great bikes but I just felt the Triumph was a notch above them. More mature and "classy" somehow.

i have a z800 as well and im not so overwelmed by it... when u ride it sportive on smaller countryroads and high in rev u shift down it shakes his ass... I was wonderin if any of u also have this? and above 6000rpm it vibrates quite a lot as well

Test rode the MT-09 earlier today and all I can say is what an amazing bike! Of course I'm a bit biased by not having ridden any of the others (the only other "big" bike I've ridden is XJ6) but MT-09 just felt natural from the moment I got on. The torque is insane at all speeds and in all gears, handling is nimble for someone inexperienced like me, brakes are good, suspension is just right. But like I said, I'm probably biased after having put down a deposit for one :)

The Triumph is maybe the best bike to ride, but i hate the looks of it. I think i will go for a black Z800.

The Mt comes with an adjustable suspension and you can also fix some of the throttle probs by just clicking a few times at the bikes lcd buttons...so not really good reasons for putting it 3rd

It's okay watching these reviews from magazines and test riders, but you never actually know until you ride one yourself, it's like reading a review on a new film that came out, the reviewer said it was terrible, but then you go and watch it and think it's great! Everyone's got there own likes and interest, don't get arsey over some review, go out and see for yourself! :)

Been waiting for this comparison for a while. Thanks MCN. Loving my Street Triple, don't regret it for a second.

I kinda wish I had the ability to own any one of these bikes other than an MT-09. It's the one I'm getting. Living in the US, Triumph doesn't have the dealer network needed to compete here, the Z800 isn't available here (only Z1000), and the MV is... well, expensive and has a dealer network so small it's not even worth mentioning. It's nice to see a real comparison and see where it stands, but at the end of the day for many of us it's still the only option.

The street triple R does have better brakes and adjustable suspension. So you would have to compare it to that one.

mate just got the street triple rx! for his first bike! looking to get a bike so many nice bikes i just dont know what to get any suggestions?

Is it your opinion that the brakes on the MT-09 would be greatly improved simply with SS brake lines? Also how much time was spent on tuning suspension between the bikes? Or are they all factory set? I think we can all agree that what really shines with the Yamaha is that brilliant engine and the price tag! Great comparison and review. Cheers

Yup as expected review by MCN...speed tripple is their pick cause its british.

Yeah but it's not. Triumph genuinely make some class leading bikes, and most motorcycle media agree, as do customer sales. Just because MCN are british, and they approve strongly of a few of the recent Triumphs bikes, it doesn't mean there's some national motorcycling conspiracy going on.

old video but hey what the heck... sooo many yamaha fanboys hating in the comments. goes to show the level of intellect and maturity yamaha riders have.

Street triple is where it's at best overall bike

I do have to agree that the streeple is that good. I own one and a ducati diavel and when riding around with my buddy in not able to pass up the streeple until we both get to triple digits, same story for him when I'm the one riding it. She's soo nimble and flickable

I own a MT-09 and since we're talking about stock bike of course, I agree with the conclusion. I never had the chance to test a Z800 and also I don't like it so I never put it into my possible choice rack which was composed basically by Speed Triple 2010, Street Triple 2013 and Mt-09. I discarded the Speed Triple because it's too heavy and too powerful for me so the real heat has been between Mt and ST. I ended up on the MT-09 because it looks better for me, even if it feels al little cheap compared with the ST and also I loved the riding stand from the first second and the half-way bike philosophy. At the end, I recognize that the suspension are almost crap and someone can argue about the On-off of the gas but with the 2000€ I saved to buy It, I will change the suspension with a MUPO kit and I think it becomes the best bike of the set.

just curious if they adjusted the suspension? i now ride my fz09 faster than my gsxr in the curves.

Hi. Triumph owner here. So, does Triumph actually pay you to make them win in every comparison you do or...?

Need an update group test with all the new bikes!

Ok I know this video was some years ago, but I just got a used 2013 Triumph Street triple S. She only had 1800 miles on it and never been in the rain. I love this bike, it's incredible and so fun to ride. It's my first street bike but I know a good bike when I sit on it. I have road dirt all my life and love dirt riding I have a 2018 KTM 500 exc-f. I'm starting to get used to the feel of the Trumph it is surprisingly different than a dirt our dual sport bike. I think it's still the best out there in terms of rideability and quality of build. I have thought about the 2020 Triumph but DAM my bike rides so sweet. I have thought about changing up the front sprocket and drop it a tooth. Just to give it a little more torque on the bottom end, okay make it a little easier to get a front wheel up. LoL from Freddy in North Carolina cheers and Merry Christmas.

From just an engine performance standpoint is the 09 as punchy and quick as the Brutale 800? If anyone has ridden both, please comment if possible. Thanks

Just purchased a 2013 Brutale 800 in the UK in 2019... despite what this review says, I dare you to go and ride one. In the words of Jeremy Clarkson, a vehicle needs floors/imperfection for you to love it like you would a human (no one is perfect). To me, that’s what my MV is. Makes me very excited every time I ride it and I can’t stop looking back at it when I get off. I know it’s less reliable and parts take forever to come but somehow I don’t care. I can’t say I’d be like this with the other bikes... subjective of course though and I appreciate that. I do feel however that this upload gives the Brutale a hard time.

Full story and performance data in MCN - on sale now, or on iPad/Android. Cheers Neevesy, MCN

Out of the MT09, Z800 and St3 which do you think would be the most pillion friendly?

Agreed. STR3 is the best middleweight triple, but Yamaha are aiming for the supermoto crowd (or those that think they want a supermoto but want something that is a little more practical). Hence suspension and throttle mapping are set up like this.

right i also know a comment that goes by from bike show, an most dont know until they test ride, also lots dont worry about what others ride unless its there level!

Can't believe i didn't see this video yet, great review. Could not agree more. That STR is just a giant killer. Can you imagine what it could be like if Triumph also made a 800cc middle weight version? Also, I know it's an older model but i would have like to see how the Ducati Streetfighter 848 did in this comparison?

Do they sell the triumphs in the USA? I am looking to start riding and this style of bike has lots of appeal on me...

Never rode a Triumph, if it's that great I really need to try one. I loved the MT-09 though, so yea, can't really comment until I try the Triumph..Nice test-ish ;-)

I test rode an MT-09 a few days ago. It's very powerful, pulls like a train. Apart from this my street triple R is better in every other regard. Way smoother on-off the throttle, much lighter, better riding position and those nissin radials are perhaps the best brakes I'v tried on a bike, and I've tired a few.

Such a great, short, to the point video 👍👌🫡

I got the z800 to 144mph!! Norm hits 140 super smooth and loved the bike it is heavier going around the corners but can power out make you feel happy too!! The torque is all that it has got in the Yamaha looks cheap and it's a shame wish they gave it more it would be even better imagine better brakes better suspensions and more fined looks would make it win. Even the weighty z800 feels lighter when it goes you don't feel the weight and has great chassis when it moving shame it has that much weight but still better then mt09. Triple is quality fact!!

I agree with 99% of you said. But the engine cover IS a design flaw. Regardless if riding with or without proper gear. It simply sticks out and it hits you leg. I've ridden xt660. Speed triple. Drz. Srad. Even Harley and none of them had this issue.

Hello, Looks nice. trail bless What do you think, guys?

this is my dilemma right now between the Yamaha and the Triumph. The Yamaha is definitely way too soft in the suspension setup but that can be fixed with approx $1000 worth of parts. I'll be riding them both again back to back later this week.

The most comical comments are about the MV as Neeves is testing the MV Rivale, which has the same chassis, engine, wheels, suspension and electronic package as the Brutale version, yet this one handles amazing, the fueling is on par with the Truimph and he couldn't find fault with it at all.

All dyno tested with video and dyno figures ...Now STFU

Then why does every magazine hype up the MT-09 like its amazing? Every time I open a mag all's I see are rave reviews on how good this bike is. I looked at one at the dealers when it first came out. The instrument section looks cheep, small and non-existent

Im in the US and have the FZ09 and did 145MPH. also Disagree with the throttle being jerky. The only thing is yes suspension is soft but lets face it you are driving on the road 95% of the time and its the best suspension you can have for that. Comfortable and not stiff. Unless you are a track person. So the winner is the FZ09 . I have ridden all these bikes and ehhhhhhh. Triumph is a great bike but needs a little more power to keep the fun or 675CC vs 850CC... Also the three modes make it more versatile and gives it personality. Also the price sais it all

I'd still take the MT-09 unless we comparing to the Triumph Speed triple. New 2020 Street triple does have absolutely beautiful styling! Yamaha still kicks ass when factoring in price.

I did 139mph with my MT-09 in france, and due to french restrictions, I don't have full horse power

one review said something about the start button? that it integrated into the kill switch or something like that. anyone know?

147 mph on my 2016 Z800 with puig screen.

I have a street Triple ´13 and is best bike I had mount....;)

i fell bad for the mv since it is the prettiest bike here, i just wish they sorted out the fueling although there has been an aupdate of software for mv it is on their website so maybe it sould help a bit, really surprised about bad handling since every other magazine says they handle great, mt09 is in its 1st year so japanese will sort things out

Maybe its a regional thing, but the demonstrator MT-09 I rode had front suspension that was as restrictive as a pair of disposable paper panties. Combined with a terrible rear set up it had to be the worst I had ridden for a long time. I didn't even get to test the brakes as the suspension was tying itself in knots on anything like a decent bend. I took it back and fed back my comments. All I got was maybe they could put some heavier fork oil in. ROFL!

How did you only get the Street Triple up to 131mph? Cycleworld got 142mph and just recently I was able to clock 148mph on my bone stock 2014 Striple R

This is the regular street triple, the R is going to be better because of the better 4 piston front brakes, and fully adjustable suspension.

I'm at 4:30 and the fz09 just got 3rd. Fair enough. Why do I think the Triumph will take first place.....? 🤔

😐 when you hate being right.

this was a very good review. too bad about the mt-09 (fz 09 in usa) I want that middle weight naked bike category to become popular here but almost all options are ridiculous priced sportbikes not everyone can afford with the bottomless hole of high insurance that comes with it!

Hi there, Amazing Effort! rightful entertaining What do you think...

You forgot to compare wheelie capabilities!
