Triunph Street Triple - 2007+ - What about them?
 

Hi,

Starting a new job soon and looking to treat myself in a few months. I like the look of the daytona 675 and the street triple, however street triple's can be insured for only £100 more than my SV, winner!

First of, does anyone have any experience of them compared to the SV? Let me know what you can think about them :)

There are a few of us on here with the different models of the street (both 675 and R versions).

I have the R version and its a great bike for everything bar being practical, there's no storage and luggage is an issue due to the high level cans. Other than that though I think its the perfect bike for me, its comfy fast enough to get you into real trouble should you want to do that kinda thing. Its also a nice smooth bike in the town and isn't to bad a commuter bike (bar the turning circle being a bit sparse)

The suspension on the R version is for me a better than the standard bike. I found the standard bike a little bit soft both front are rear and it got a bit loose when you were pushing on a bit.

Most of all though the thing you'll love is the engine. Its a peach of a thing. It just pulls nicely through the whole rev range and unlike a lot of the sports 600's that are out there doesn't need to be rev'd to get the thing moving.

Get yourself a test ride and see how you get on with the bike... It'll be nice to have another convert to the Triumph way...

Also got the R. Stunning engine, and handles superb, great brakes.

Can't fault it.

I've got the r, after having an sv, same as above, love it. Better brakes, suspensIon, engine amazing.

Looking good! I was after some real world experiences, not just reviews and I got it here :) Thanks guys!

The arrow cans are lovely!

they seem a good bike but lots of stories of conrod failure out there on the net,and the problem seems to be oil a shell bearing related and normaly the first sign you know about it is when there is a rod sticking out of the crankcase,although no doubt every one on here with a high milage street will have had no problems

cant seem to find lots of stories..?

I've got the R as well, same issues with the standard suspension as CC (I test rode a std and R back to back at the time).

Another world compared to the SV...as for luggage. Givi now do a pannier rack for the aftermarket cans...the others used to bolt onto the stock cans where the heatshields are (can't with aftermarket), You can easily get a Kriega US 20, 2 US 10's onto the pillion seat. With a tent and rollmat on top of that. For shortish trips, that's plenty. You'll struggle 2 up though.

I heard the various issues with oil etc...but have had no issues, and it doesn't appear that common.
