Thank you! Each video is different, but I definitely have my own style. I'm working on the next video about my experience with motorcycles vs cattle guards.

Great bike that’s why I’m buying one same colour as yours, Ironstone. Thanks for the review.

Enjoyed the review, thanks! You covered a few things that are often missed out in reviews I immediately liked the Street Twin as has more modern touches but still retro, compared with the Bonnie. I've decided to go with the latter though as it has a higher seat height and I'll swap out some parts to make it more modern looking.

I am sold. Triumph Street Twin it is. I love the way you describe, no technical bs like reading from the specs…just facts and how you feel. Love it!!

Thank you! The Street Twin is an amazing bike. As of this date, if I had to choose just one bike from all that I have had (Triumph Street Twin, Honda Rebel 500, Kawasaki Vulcan S 650, Zero SR/S, Honda Rebel 1100 DCT, Honda Rebel 1100 Manual, KTM 390 Duke, and the little Honda Grom), I would take the Street Twin.

Glad I found this video. I'm window shopping for my first full-size bike and the Triumph Street Twin and Scrambler came into my radar as alternatives to the Ducati scrambler look I was digging (not that Ducati tax though). I want a functional, reliable, but also tough and sexy-enough bike I can sling around on street errands/joy rides, and occasional off roading. And ideally without burning a hole in my pocket for annual maintenance. The Triumph is looking to be the one! Thanks for a great comparison with other rad rides.

Great video.i have one with vance and hines. Belly pan.chrome extras.love it.and will never sell it.sounds looks and rides great.a well planted bike.enjoy your bonnie.great video.

@@mcSal Yes in summer I can feel the engine heat near my legs when I stop at a traffic light but it doesn't bother me and it's nice on cooler days. My biggest complain is the lack of a sixth gear, I find myself wanting to continue shifting past 5. As a result the bike is really confortable on the highway at speed up to 70mph but faster than that and the engine stars to run in the higher RPM range, which is fine to pass a few cars but not the best power setting for cruising. It can easily do 90+mph but it's happier at 70mph and under. Not a big complain and keeps me at reasonable speeds on the highway. Otherwise I love the retro look and the handling. The engine sound is perfectly tuned, enough to enjoy it without waking up the entire neighborhood. Overall a well thought out bike.

No way Sal, the Triumph's 270-deg crank engine beats the pants off the engines on both the Kawasaki & Honda. 270-deg & 360-deg cranks are the only inline twins worth considering, 180-deg crank twins sound hollow, sanitized & soulless... and they only get worse with loud exhausts. Wife wants one of these, so I took her to Triumph (where I bought the new Tiger) & Royal Enfield to check out the Interceptor 650 & Continental GT. All were fantastic & they all have 270-deg cranks which give them so much character when u twist the throttle. Unlike weedy 180-deg inline twins, 270-deg crank twins sound absolutely wikked with aftermarket exhausts. Beasts!!

I agree most of your comments lol I dont like the loud pipes. but the deeper sound just great to listen.

Oh, I do love mine and the best upgrade that I made on it is to install the triumph street Scrambler handlebar, to me that's the handlebar that this bike should come with, the only thing that I would like more is a bit more sweep back.

I got the 2016 Triumph Street twin used three years ago. Put on Mototech bags which look great and never wash out and zip out for extra room. I have the fly windshield which the original owner put on. I added crash bars which also look real nice. I take it to work, food shopping and once across the state. I can ride for about three hours before I need to get off. It's not a boat of luxury but that's what I love about it. It works fantastic in heavy traffic. Balances on the slow ride so easily. Will take corners nicely. I have trouble with it on the interstate but suspect that's more me than the bike. It's not the buffeting but I feel like I can max out at about 65 and then I feel like I'm on a broomstick that is riding me so it's hard to be comfortable and keep up with traffic. So for long rides I avoid interstates. Four-lane highways are fine. When I get off it, whether coming from work or food shopping or wherever, I just stare at it and think, boy this is the only way to get around. It is a joy to ride.

While the Street Twin is a beautiful bike and I'll be getting one, your Harley friends are completely wrong about the Sportster and their comments are typical. Most dislike the Sportster because it's cheaper yet quicker. There's a difference between being quick and fast. I've had my Sportster for 23 years. She's a sleeper for sure and I have no intention of EVER getting rid of her. She is 100% reliable and has NEVER left me stranded!

It depends. Both are great bikes. Taller riders would feel better on the Street Twin, due to the smaller rider triangle (handlebars to seat to foot pegs) on the Rebel. The ST has a lot more power, torque, very nimble, loud pipes, is easy to ride, and is a super fun bike. It is a good one to grow into. The Rebel 500 is a solid bike for someone needing confidence or not overly aggressive. The Rebel is easy to ride, nimble (but not as much as the ST), not going to jump out from under you, very fuel efficient, known to be extremely reliable over time, much quieter than the ST, much cheaper than the ST, and it's just a good, solid bike. I enjoy them both, but I would select the ST over the Rebel 500 if it were me.

When I mentioned it to the salesperson, he agreed and said the Speedmaster was best on long, straighter rides. But the Street Twin is amazing on turns/curves!

We'll meet up for a comparison video at some point. After getting and loving this Triumph Street Twin, I'm very interested in other Triumphs! Thank you for your comment!

I have the Rebel 500 and love it. Problem ist the passengers seat. My wife wants to join me sometimes, but I do not want to torture her on that so called seat. So I am thinking on buying a new bike. At the moment my favorites are the Triumph street twin and the 2021 Motoguzzi V7 Stone. I have to figure out, which one I like most. Have to book test rides in the next weeks and try to make a decission. Your video makes me lean more to the Triumph I have to say.

I love the Street Twin! It has great sounding pipes, great seat for one or two, and is very nimble and easy to handle. It ranks high on the Fun Factor. Don’t know much about the MotoGuzzi, but can’t even think it would be as nimble or have the same fun factor. Still, it’s good to test ride both and see what grabs you.

@@mcSal Many thanks for your answers. I will go and testride the Triumph and the Motoguzzi and see what's the difference. Another seat for the Rebel is also an idea, but I cannot find a seat that is comfy and does not look bad. My favorite for now is the Street Twin.

@@ThereIsProbablyNoGod I rode both the Street Twin and the Rebel 500 tonight each 50 miles, and thought of you as I rode them. The Rebel 500 was really never designed for a passenger, although you know you can make do, if needed. It’s too soft in the suspension for two people, doesn’t have enough power to move quickly with two on board, and the Honda passenger seat is minimal as you know. The Street Twin (900 cc) is almost double the cc’s, has 20 more horsepower @ 65 hp, and a very comfy long seat. It will be interesting to hear what you think of the MotoGuzzi.

@@mcSal I took a passenger with my Rebel once. It was my 23yr old daughter whos weight is somewhere around 45kg. I did not really feel any difference to riding alone, except I heard her comments about the lack of comfort over the intercomm. So I will not even think about taking my wife with me. I just watched some more videos about the Street Twin and I think it is my favorite. I will try to testride the Triumph and the Motoguzzi next week. What speaks for the Guzzi is the cardan shaft and the 21l fuel tank. And the cool looks of the V-motor. And it should have a very comfy seat. It also should be very nimble. There are many things that speak for the Triumph though. What I also have to take into account is the dealership. Ther nearest (25km) Motoguzzi dealer is the same where I bring the Rebel for service. He has Honda and Motoguzzi. The nearest Triumph dealer is about double the way, but the dealer, where I bought my Rebel has also Triumph, but he is about 180km away. So many things to consider. Not an easy task to find the right bike. I do not have the space for more than 2 bikes and my second bike at the moment is a Husqvarna 401 for my son. If I had a garage like you, I would probably have some more bikes. Considering that, it is better, I do not have that much space.😉

Good choice! (Indian Scout bobber is WAYY nicer than Scout) they need to drop the Scout and just produce the bobbers now. 883 is beauriful and comfy but no tech or upgrades like the Street Twin. GREAT CHOICE! I want one too.

Totally agree! I hope you get one! Or… check out the 2022 Indian Chief Dark Horse! It’s an Amazing bike!!! Costs a lot more than the Street Twin, though. The Street Twin has a lot of get up and go, rides great, sounds great, and seems to have fans everywhere it goes.

My friend bought a new Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and let me test ride it. The RE looks a lot like the Triumph Street Twin, but definitely does not have anywhere near the same power or performance. The RE reminded me a lot of my Rebel 500 in performance, but was top heavy at a standstill (weird), and can accommodate a much larger person than the Rebel 500.

I'm looking for a new bike and loved your video. I wondered, is it true about the engine getting really hot next to your leg? update: just bought a street twin, hopefully picking it up in two weeks :)

@mcSal

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, if you hug the tank with your knees like a sports bike. If you were to test ride this bike for 5 minutes, you would notice the heat if you feel the engine with your hands. But, fortunately, the ST sits you upright so you can ride with legs more relaxed and shouldn't have any problems. We took it on a several hour ride recently up in the hills where it really got a workout, and it was Amazing! The rider was a Harley Softail rider (a friend of Harley Guy Mike), and he Loved riding the Street Twin, no complaints, just lots of praise.

@mcSal

I think it would be a bike you can start with, understanding it has a lot of get up and go so stay easy on the throttle. It’s not a bike you will outgrow anytime soon. It will also entertain advanced riders because of its responsiveness and how nimble it is. And any size rider can find it comfortable. If you can go easy on the throttle, it could work well as a beginner bike that you can continue to enjoy as your skills increase.

Also try the new Guzzi V7

Hey. My missus hates motorbikes. If I moved to America, would you marry me? I already have a Street Twin so we could ride off into the Californian sunset together. Alternatively, you could come to the UK and we could ride around in the pouring rain and freezing cold. Hmmm. On a more serious note. I also own an Indian Scout and although I love the looks, the Triumph is much "easier" to get on with. I also looked at the Royal Enfield which is very popular over here but it felt cheap in comparison to the Triumph. The one that surprised me though is the Honda NC750 which has the appearance of the most boring bike in the world but is actually a brilliant, practical and economical bike but lacks the style of the Triumph. I do find myself getting on the Honda more than the Triumph though. Just so long as I'm not going anywhere I'm likely to be seen. Guess the Honda admission might have blown the marriage proposal... Damn.

@@mcSal The Honda is very similar in engine response to the Triumph. Not quite as much "Oomph" but close and still plenty enough for my uses. The big selling point is that it does 80mpg and petrol prices in the UK can mean that economy makes a difference. Nowhere near the "style" of the Triumph though and, perhaps surprisingly, the fit and finish isn't quite as good on the Honda. At the end of the day, the Honda is practical and sensible but, much though I hate to admit it, if I was going to a biker gathering, I'd be on the Triumph. Vanity is a strange mistress. I also own a MV Agusta Brutale if I want to go mad and in a completely pointless attempt at feeling 21 again. Unfortunately, half an hour later it just goes to show me I'm very much not.

You're right. They both do have their own sound and character. But, when you compare the Triumph to the Japanese bikes (Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki) vs Harley Davidson bikes, which one does it best align with? Answer..... Harley! That's because the Triumph has a much meatier sound than the Japanese bikes (the HD's have an even meatier sound), and the Triumph definitely has it's own distinct character (as do the HD's). The HD's are in a league of their own when it comes to sound, but I was just saying the Triumph is more like a Harley in sound and character than it is to a Japanese type bike. Would you agree with that?
