Triumph Street Triple 675

I purchased my Street Triple R 10 months ago, and I've managed 23,000 kilometres of riding so far. That has been a combination of commuting, touring, and weekend blasts.

The best way that I can describe the Street Triple is that if you can only afford to have one bike, it's probably the perfect bike to have. What I mean by that, is that it does everything that you could ask of it really well without being class leading in any one area — the brakes and handling are almost as good as a sports bike, it's comfortable to tour on (I managed 1300...

Used it for 2 years and 21,000 kms of recreational use - no commuting. It was bought as a near new demo.
Not 5 stars because of excessive oil consumption (upto 500ml/1000kms) and Triumph told it is acceptable!

The bike is good for everything as long as you dont need to track it. The power delivery is linear so even those not so experienced riders can enjoy it and in capable hands its a weapon.
For sportsbike users the front can become light on high speeds and lack of steering damper could be an issue. You may keep topping up the tank or...

Bought my 2010 Street just over a year ago with 5000km on the clock... why the first owner never clocked up ten times that amount I do not know. In the year I have owned it I have serviced the machine as per specification and changed tyres (the rear rather more than my bank account likes) etc. It is so simple to ride, very forgiving and does everything well, blasts on country roads, daily commuting, weekend trips away (single and two up) it has done it all and done it all well. I really have to look hard to find faults,.. maybe the seat could b...

Trumpy street triple is a bike that offers a lot in a compact yet stylish package. Very revy engine will make you smile as you reach each gear at high revs while swooping through corners effortlessly. Its not the quickest bike but it certainly is fun and easy to ride

Returned to riding after a 4-5 year break, before which I had been riding about 13 years ..

so I decided on the street triple R 2013 , the bike looked nice and heard mainly good things about them, so purchases made ..

At first I liked the bike , the power deliver was good, fast turn in , felt like a strong engine, sounded nice , comfortable riding position for around town, aggressive looks , cheap to run ..

I didn't like : the mirrors , wind exposure , bike felt small , 1st gear felt tame...

After a short while I noticed oil on ...

First step up from a lams bike and not one regret. Purchased second hand. Seat height played a huge deciding factor. Easy to throw around. Great for commuting or exploring country corners. Only bugbear is suspension, I am too light and tend to bounce a fair bit. The guy I purchased off was probably 3x my weight and it was set for him. Have since mucked around with suspension settings and slightly improved. Brings a grin to my face every time I ride it. The throaty triple sound is unique and sounds devine with my aftermarket arrows.

Superb in every way. Fast, nimble, powerful, sounds great, reliable, what more could you want? Downside is you won't want to trade it in, which makes your next bike more expensive! :-)

Had my 2008 model for 6 years now. still drives and looks like new. Every now and then I have a look around to see if there's something in the same category that takes my interest but I always keep coming back to the Street Triple. Dead easy to ride in any condition, and breeze to commute in. And I reckon the classic bug eye headlights look better than the newer model granny glasses look.

Only problem it ever had was the regulator rectifier died about a year ago (while I was in peak hour traffic!) inexpensive fix and I was back on the road. I've heard its a common issue in the older models.

I have owned my 2010 Street Triple R for two years. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The engine and the precise fueling are the real highlight. It pulls right through the rev range and has tonnes of power in the low to mid rev range which is where you ride an everyday bike most of the time. The engine has a bit of character and a lovely note like other European bikes, but has the smooth running and precision delivery of a Japanese bike.

The suspension and brakes are outstanding and the handling is simply brilliant. It turns in seemingly ...

Had this bike roughly 15 or so months now , have had no issues at all , as per my previous comments this bike is the complete package and a riders bike. Handling is superb, turns in so quickly it feels as light as a dirt bike, reliability is great -no issues, I am so glad I listened to Ricky Brad and the guys from Oliver's motorcycles here in Brisbane.

After my licence restrictions were lifted I was faced with the task of selling my Yamaha XJ6 Diversion, and choosing my next bike to progress to. Triumph made this decision very easy for me, with a simple and comprehensive range catering to all sorts of riders, I was able to easily narrow my choice down to the Speed Triple 1050 or the Street Triple 675. After riding both, I decided the Street Triple 675 R was the perfect bike for me. With it's 675 triple cylinder engine, it has heaps of power always on tap, but its also smooth and very comforta...

Have owned my street triple now for around a month and so early days but love it so far. Spent months researching bikes before purchase and picked from a field including kawasaki 750, bmw f800r, ducati monster 696 and triumph street triple. Multiple test rides on each option and drove dealers mad I think trying to make a decision!

First some observations of the competition:

kawasaki 750 - smooth, well manufactured, tank width is such that you feel like your doing the splits compared to the competition which all had a nature feel. Cheaper ...

I've had my street triple from new for 2 1/2 years now. I've loved it from the start, it has a comfortable riding position, one of the best engines in it's class and sounds absolutely awsome under acceleration. Unfortunately the charging system is second rate, with the regulator/rectifier failing (a common problem apperently), and taking out the stator in the process. This has resulted in a fair amount of grief being stranded on a few occassions, as well as the expense of the repairs. This is a fatal flaw on an otherwise excelent, well priced bike. I've always had a soft spot for Triumphs, but from now on I will stick to the reliability of the Japanese bikes.
Engine, handling
Cheap electrics, some parts prone to rust

Had my '08 Street Trip for 3 years now and the honeymoon is over. I've have had to replace the battery twice. The first time it was still under warranty but (Triumph) dealer workshop charged me for replacing air filter, spark plus, towing and new battery (and as we'll see, none of these fixed the problem.. Thanks you [censored word removed]!) It turns out the charging system in the Triple family is not perfect, from my experience and net research. Do Triumph know? Do workshops know?? It's annoying because it takes some shine out of an otherwise...

This bike is very cool. It looks good and goes better. I can drag Porsches on this baby and it cost about 5% of what those knobs paid for their tintops. But it has a few problems. I agree with the other dude about the engine vibe...but it's most likely just an engine harmonic because mine is at the exact same rev range. The steering lock means you'll be rolling back and forward like Asutin Powers in any tight situation. The bike may be priced well but the accessories is where they will hit you. Take the painted body parts for example. They are ...
