    Just wondering if any one has had a RSV then a street. If so , interested to hear how you found the ride on the street in comparison.

    Hey there, I've not owned a Street Triple but I've done a few miles on one, and also the D675 as well. I am an Aprilia RSV Gen 1 owner and also had a Gen 2. Which one have you got?
    I found the Triumph's great, a lot smaller and lighter feeling of course. Sharp handling yet more compliant than the Mille.
    I think you would like it, although I'm sticking with my Aprilia (shhh)

    Yep, had an RSV then RSVR, then Street 675. Loved the change in riding position, less fatigue everywhere, including engine as it's so easy to ride compared to a big twin.

    Only thing I didn't like is it felt a fair bit smaller than the RSVR and I'm a tall guy.

    Got a Tuono, and found riding it slow was no fun...so bought a Speed Triple.
    I found 4 cal bikes too bland, and the triple had character.
    I've not tried the new Street, but my sons earlier street although a great bike didn't give the rush of speed I crave every now and then.
    If I were you I'd try both the Street and Speed, the Speed I'd exepect to be much more torquey

    Not a big deal from 1000 twin to 675 triple, but did miss the pull of a fireblade etc (owned 3 1000RR's). Be interested in the 765...

    I have a Ducati SS. Just been on a 765 and felt like I was sitting on a wasp! Very similar riding position to the Brutale three cylinder bikes.
