Comfort | | I find it pretty comfortable but doubt a pillion would! | | Ride Quality | | Ride is a bit harsh as standard. I have fitted an Ohlins shock off a Daytona R which is much plusher. |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | No problem to date. |
| Engine Rating | | Fantastic motor. Plenty of mid range but also revs out and sounds fantastic. |
| Brake Rating | | Brakes are powerful with good feel and ABS. |

| Pros Comments | Love this bike. Handles and goes great. Perfect pretty much everywhere except motorways and who wants to go there? Great bike highly recommended. Get one! |
| Cons Comments | Longer service intervalsb |

Comfort | | Really comfy except when on motorways, but them it is a naked! | | Ride Quality | | Fantastic! |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | No issue so far |
| Engine Rating | | Whilst not the most powerful, it's more than enough for me |
| Brake Rating | | Plenty of grip, but ABS would be useful |

| Pros Comments | Perfect mix of weight, power and style. Just a great bike, More than I can use without making me feel like I'm not in control. |
| Cons Comments | The dash controls are too complicated |

Comfort | | I'm 6ft2 and this is a great fit for me - bar position is great and no wrist pain or leg cramp to speak of. | | Ride Quality | | Firm yet compliant and extremely reassuring - I did a 140 mile ride this week and no complaints, even at my age! |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | Excellent - cannot fault it. I find myself cleaning it to retrain as much of the factory-fresh lustre as possible. |
| Engine Rating | | Sublime and I've only got to 8000rpm so far in the running-in period - looking forward to winding it up over the next 500 miles. |
| Brake Rating | | Really strong and progressive - I've had one ABS-triggered moment and only realised afterwards how completely drama -free that was. |

| Overall | | |
| Pros Comments | This is my first bike and I absolutely adore it, and have from the moment I saw it really – despite its power potential its an easier bike to ride than the Honda CB600/650s I trained on, as it is incredibly light and balanced – slow speed traffic control is remarkable (and it is not the rider, I can assure you!), the suspension is rarely deflected mid-corner and I feel confident that as the weather warms and corresponding tarmac temperatures improve, the bike will reward as I gain cornering confidence. Absolutely fantastic. |
| Cons Comments | I would love a tiny bit more wind deflection at higher speeds as I am tall. |

Comfort | | Naked bike not too good for sustained high-speed riding (e.g. motorways), high pillion position not suitable for long journeys. Good general riding position for commuting and short trips. | | Ride Quality | | Excellent handling and cornering, light and responsive. Smooth power from the triple cylinder engine. |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | No problems after 2 years |
| Engine Rating | | Plenty of power and acceleration up to 100mph |
| Brake Rating | | Good stopping power and ABS works when needed |
| Running Cost | | |
| Overall | | |
| Pros Comments | Great bike for commuting and getting around town. Handling is easy and the bike is very responsive to where you want it to go. |
| Cons Comments | Build quality of components – e.g. the throttle has a slight dead zone at the beginning which more expensive bikes don't seem to have. |

| Pros Comments | Great first bike, it will be a keeper for long term as it will nurture you first and grow with you when you get more confident. Just like a good friend! |

Comfort | | As a novice, I prefer the position to a sports bike. Do get tired on long journeys. Don't take pillion. | | Ride Quality | | Handles a dream and feels lightweight |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | Not had it long enough to comment |
| Engine Rating | | Absolutely love it |
| Brake Rating | | The brakes aren't linked and there's no ABS |

| Pros Comments | It is super awesome. I love it to bits. If only the weather were better to enjoy it more. |
| Cons Comments | Linked brakes and ABS |

Comfort | | Comfortable bike to ride even on a long ride from London up to the Lake District and back. However, I wouldn't attempt it with a pillion. | | Ride Quality | | The factory rear spring and damper settings are near perfect with no need to adjust when taking a pillion. The front dampers are excellent with plenty of feed back from the road. Being a light bike that is rather short it's awesome for chucking in to bends with plenty of confidence. |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | The build quality is excellent and I've not had a single problem with it. |
| Engine Rating | | Being a triple cylinder with 105bhp it has plenty of torque and is revvy. It has the benefits of the torque of a twin and the smoothness of a four cylinder. |
| Brake Rating | | Nissin front and Brembo rear these brakes are cracking and do exactly what they were designed to do, stop you quick and safely. Especially with the ABS. |
| Running Cost | | |
| Overall | | |
| Pros Comments | The bike looks superb, with excellent handling and reasonable running costs and would certainly recommend one. Only downside is the recommended chain lubrication distance being every 200 miles. |
| Cons Comments | The painted fuel filler cap surround is easily chipped when fuelling up if not too careful. |

Comfort | | Very comfy bike but on long journey (250+ miles) you'll need a break for your rear or shoulders. | | Ride Quality | | Very precise cornering, smooth power delivering , very nimble and great for commuting too. |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | I've done 21000 in two years and didn't have a single issue. Very sturdy and reliable machine. |
| Engine Rating | | 105 BHP. Powerful enough to have a lot of fun and to keep up with the bigger bikes too. |
| Brake Rating | | Nissin ABS 2 piston breaks. They work well but I miss the Brembos |
| Running Cost | | |
| Overall | | |
| Pros Comments | Great quality, Triumph dealers will sort any issues out without asking questions when the bike is under warranty.
Great bike to own as a first big bike and to learn progressively.
Great to commute and squeeze through traffic. Overall I'm very happy with my bike. I've become a keen rider since I own it and I'm itching every day I don't ride it. |
| Cons Comments | Big service at 12000/24000 is a bit pricey.
Eye candy, make sure you don't spare money on security devices. |

Comfort | | Standard seat is a bit uncomfortable, either the comfort seat or a custom seat can help achieve posterior bliss. Riding position is more upright and general ergonomics are acceptable. | | Ride Quality | | Lightweight, nimble and scalpel are a few words used to describe this bike. Handling is impeccable and twisty roads are an absolute joy to blast through. |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | Overall build quality is decent, few areas that could do with some improvements but no major issues so far. |
| Engine Rating | | Three is the magic number. |
| Brake Rating | | Have saved me on a few occassions, ABS has only kicked in once which was intentional to try figure out the bite point which is extremely late. Brakes are excellent overall. |

| Overall | | |
| Pros Comments | Great bike, quick, torquey, nimble and fantastic handling. Originally wanted a naked > 1L, but glad I got this instead in the end. It's more playful and less intimadating, allowing you push the limits of the bike with less risk of losing your license. Granted it's not the best looking (dem headlights), but like an ugly child you learn to love it. |
| Cons Comments | Looks, a bit ugly |

Comfort | | Firm ride but stable. Will take the gf out on the back this summer... | | Ride Quality | | Engine is smooth as glass, gearbox silk, telepathic handling |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | Looks like it was put together well. Feels 'together' when you ride it |
| Engine Rating | | Perfect for street riding, enough power to get you in and out of trouble at the right rev range |
| Brake Rating | | Sharp brakes make two fingers braking very easy |
| Running Cost | | |
| Overall | | |
| Pros Comments | Looks amazing, stock exhaust sounds great and looks great. Handles like a dream. The engine has a constant pull through the rev range peaking over 8k rpm which is lovely. Very easy to ride. My first fuel injected bike and it is amazing. Responsive, smooth, thrilling, fast. A beautiful piece of engineering. |
| Cons Comments | Stock mirrors are awful… no point in them being there. I've swapped for some three pistons after market bar end ones. Triumph accessories are expensive! |

| Pros Comments | Absolutely the best balance of street and sports in one bike. Big bike killer. Light and nimble. I've had superbikes before and never thought I'd get a naked bike but one ride on a Street Triple R and you never need to look at another bike. More than enough power and just great chuckability. All round perfect! |
| Cons Comments | Nothing. |

Comfort | | Very comfortable for short rides but I'm 6ft and find after 90 mins I find my hips and knees are getting a bit sore and need a stretch | | Ride Quality | | Really easy to ride and inspires confidence, feels surprisingly small and agile |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | Overall build quality is excellent, had couple of clips replaced on radiator hose as tiny coolant leak and had tiny oil leak which I fixed by re-torquing the sump bolts, no more serious mechanical faults at all. |
| Engine Rating | | This is my first bike after my test and I've been delighted with my choice, plenty of power if required, but very easy to manage including around town. Great triple sound and great bark when pushed a little even with stock pipe. |
| Brake Rating | | No complaints at all from the brakes, good, predictable stopping power and reassurance with the ABS. |
| Running Cost | | |
| Overall | | |
| Pros Comments | This is a really easy bike to handle, I would wholeheartedly recommended it as a first big bike. It has the classic triple sound, with a great bark when pushed, it looks great and had the top Triumph build quality and their support and servicing had been excellent. A great looking, very fun bike, plenty fast enough but also very easy to ride. Definitely a great first big bike, no regrets! |
| Cons Comments | There's not really anything to complain about at all, I guess for my next bike I might look for something more suited to longer rides, touring/adventure, but that's personal and no reflection on the Street Triple which does exactly what's expected really very well. |

Comfort | | Nice and comfortable for the 1st hour, however the set in of numb bum kicks in soon after. | | Ride Quality | | A very flickable fun ride, with plenty of torque and top end if you need it. Its a very light and easy bike to move at low speeds. |
| Build Quality & Reliability | | Never had any issues with the bike, being a Triumph the build quality ans finish is spot on. |
| Engine Rating | | A great bike to ride and very responsive. |
| Brake Rating | | Very responsive brakes and ABS should it be needed. |

| Pros Comments | Visually stunning and gets a lot of heads turning. Arrow slip on makes it stand out a bit more. Seriously a lot of fun to ride, especially with the quick shifter. A great introduction for me to the world of motorcycling. Its a fantastic bike that will grow with me as i become more experienced. |
| Cons Comments | There is nothing I would change about the bike. Its spot on. |
