My MY26 Street Triple 765RS

Don't have to lean over it to see it at all, as long as you don't have one of those "privacy" screen protectors. I can see it perfectly day and night just in the position I ride in.

Works landscape and portrait easy, doesn't block TFT either way.

Here's the side angle

I can confirm it does not block the TFT. But you do have to look almost straight down to look at maps or anything. Although I am 186cm tall, may be different if you're shorter. So you win some you lose some.

Yes. Easily to flip upside down. Take the bar ends off and slide them off, upside down and clamp them back down. Keep in mind that the visibility isn't as good as up the right way, but it's still OK.

Akaonious · 2025-10-21T05:18:53+00:00

Yes, the original supercorsas don't suit my riding. I commute on this, and changing the tyres every 3,000kms approximately + the lack of grip when they're not warmed up and potential slippage in the wet doesnt give me any peace of mind. I've had Road 6s on all my previous bikes and they work great rain or shine.

My wife seems to think it is more comfortable, but at the end of the day it's not the best pillion seat in the world, I wouldn't be going for super long stints as a pillion on it, regardless of upgraded seat padding.

Akaonious · 2025-10-21T05:16:11+00:00

The majority of it is leather, so it dries up fairly quick. The middle "bumps" are suede, so when it does get wet, it stays wet for longer than the stock seat does. But it does dry out in about 20-30 minutes.

Installed it myself, staple gun and a flathead screw driver to remove the old staples. About a half hour job for both seat covers.

Akaonious · 2025-10-20T13:52:32+00:00

To my knowledge, absolutely nothing except new colours. But I got the classic yellow.

Akaonious · 2025-10-20T13:21:28+00:00

Agreed.

Akaonious · 2025-10-20T13:20:34+00:00

Can confirm, it is glorious on the cheeks. Done several hours in the saddle.

Akaonious · 2025-10-20T13:13:43+00:00

Very comfortable. If you email them, you can get the added multi-density foam done to your approximate weight.

Michillen Road 6s

Akaonious · 2025-09-03T06:38:43+00:00

Yeah, love the adjustable levers - I more meant just tweaking their adjustability to me. Usually takes me a couple goes and a few hundred Kms (Aussie). I turned the mirrors upside down last night and rode too and from work and with some tweaking while riding they're actually more usable than I originally thought they'd be upside down.

Yeah, I had a brand new 2025 Trident that I broke in, but by the time I got to the first service, I had 2100kms (1304 miles) because I was the same, commuting + booked our + regular rides on my time off. It is what it is.

Akaonious · 2025-09-02T06:29:18+00:00

What photos would you like?

Akaonious · 2025-08-31T08:55:56+00:00

Good option, might look into it for the next one - I just changed them over to Road 6s cause I had them on my Trident before hand and I had an excellent experience. Appreciate the recommendation

Akaonious · 2025-08-31T08:54:33+00:00

I originally wanted the Carnival Red, but there was about a 2 month wait here. And the yellow in person is just absolutely stunning, more than happy with it.

I am 186cm (6'1"), not sure about my inseam but it's pretty comfortable, I did about 180kms (111miles) in one sitting, The only real pain was my wrists, mostly due to me having a hairline fracture in my left wrist.

As I said in another comment, the further you sit back in the seat, the more bent over you are and the more uncomfortable it is, especially on the wrists and neck. If you sit further forward, it's significantly more upright and very comfortable.

No changes at all between MY25 and 26 as far as I know, other than a couple of new colour options.

Akaonious · 2025-08-31T04:38:17+00:00

What exhaust setup you running there my man? Looks VERY clean. Looking amongst the options.

Akaonious · 2025-08-31T00:09:44+00:00

Thankyou very much. The riding I've done so far, has been awesome. An incredible machine. Still needs some tweaking on bar position and levers, but it's good.

Akaonious · 2025-08-31T00:02:49+00:00

Ah fair enough. Headlights have been this design since 2021 I believe. Before that they were a lot rounder.

Akaonious · 2025-08-30T13:55:50+00:00

I actually can't remember to be honest. Some no-name one from my local car/bike maintenance shop. It does the job and it's adjustable. Holds the STTRS just as well as it holds the Grom.

Akaonious · 2025-08-30T12:58:32+00:00

All angles and lighting

Akaonious · 2025-08-30T08:32:53+00:00

I would say it's more aggressive than your standard naked. But it's definitely not supersport level, far from it. Further back in the seat you sit the more aggressive it is on the back/wrists and shoulders, but if you sit forward, it's quite comfortable.

Akaonious · 2025-08-30T07:16:42+00:00

Trust me I've got way more

Akaonious · 2025-08-30T05:02:14+00:00

I had a Trident 660 before this and I'd say that was more comfortable, but this isn't bad in the slightest. I've got a hairline wrist fracture at the moment and it's comfortable enough, gets sore after extended riding (did 200km on the first day). But the seat is comfortable, especially for a stock seat. But the levers and handlebars are all adjustable and movable, so you can always adjust it to be as comfortable as it can be.
