Dunno mine doesn't seem to. I check and top it up occasionally but only a little needed. My current Fazer doesn't hardly use any and the Street is the same. My old 2002 gen 1 used to use a litre every 2-3 000 miles by comparison (and the engine is the same between 2002 and 2004 gen 1s). I'm on the Street triple forum as well and I haven't heard anyone complaining about heavy oil use. Is it a rumour on one of the other triumph forums? Maybe it's a handful of people who didn't run their bikes in properly, I don't know, haven't heard about this.
More specific : my Street R is the 2009 model. Stock pipes/filter etc. Bought with 3k on the clock. Now at 12k. Has maybe needed '3 glugs' (100ml? ) of oil since the 6k service.
