I changed from my 2020 RS to the 2023 RS (in cosmic yellow) two weeks ago and can't believe the improvement over what was already a great bike, the handling is definitely sharper yet still planted and the new gearing has pepped up acceleration in low and mid range revs, my only gripe is the TFT which IMO is a little too cluttered, the smaller supposedly budget TFT on the R is better as it's much less complex and everything you need to know is right in front of you but overall it's an absolutely brilliant bike that's raised the bar for middleweight nakeds once again. I've had 31 bikes in my 45 years of riding, ranging through two stroke 250s, 350s and even an RG500 Suzuki, CBR600RRs, R6S, GSX-R750 and 1000R, R1s and Fireblades and the highest compliment I can pay the new Street Triple RS is that I rate it higher than all my previous bikes, I'm in my 60s but every time I get on the RS I get the same feeling I got from my Yamaha 350LC when I was 20 years old.
I‘ve been riding my 23 RS for approx. a month now and I have to say, it is a great bike. Handling, seating position and the engine are great. Interestingly, the display is not an issue for me. I see the liquid temp, the air temp, speed and the revs without any issues. Sure, it can be cluttered for some, if you add the trip counter, avg. speed and so on, but imo it‘s always a personal preference whether or not you want to see lots of info or just the speedometer and the rev counter. For me, the display on the R is a definite downgrade.
I changed from mt09sp 2021 to 765rs cosmic yellow. Everything is fine for now. There are also some shortcomings. For example, there are no steps in the electronics (TC 1, 2, 3). Whether it is needed is debatable 😊.
This is the first time I came across your work Scott, and I like it. I especially liked the tables of data which so many others do not do (actually none do that I have seen!) Thanks!
I think this is the most spirited ride review that I've seen you do. I think you really like that bike. 😊 I looked at these when I bought myZ900, but the seat height was the only reason I didn't get the triumph.
People need to remember this is not a normal ~700-800cc bike motor, it’s literally a 600cc class supersport motor that started at 675cc and was punched out 100cc more. it’s a different beast entirely
Your usual great in depth review, Scott. If you want to try real world 'bumpy' roads then come over to the UK where even the main routes are cratered (potholes) like the north side of the moon.
"north side of the moon" LOL! You U.K. guys are hilariously good at explaining word pictures and making me laugh! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you! Scott P.S. but there are some really bad roads here in Germany too, just not very many of them
@@jdam28k that would be most disappointing , I bought 19 model street triple r which is my daily, done 35700 kms. Apart from moisture getting in headlights which were quickly replaced under warranty , extremely happy and I always look forward to riding it .
Great and fresh review, Scott. Sharper scalpel than the KTM means less rideability for commuting, touring? Not much torque in relation to the PS. Worth to test it for a middle aged BMW F 900 R-rider? Go so on, motormate!
Hi Marcel, yea, it's really a track day weapon but it's fun to "ring it's neck" with that moto2 race engine, the sound is exuberating. For every day riding, your 900R is better but why not go up to Becker-Tiemann and take it out for a spin? You might like it 😊👌
The stock GSXR-750 from Suzuki has been making substantial more power, with 15 CC’s less, for many years now. Why was this bike and engine not included? 15 extra kilowatts is significant poneys.
@@TheOriginalCoda I guess it depends on where you live. For example, you can still buy them brand new in Australia. Producing over 150 bhp from a 750 cc puts it clearly above the Triumphs 765 cc.
@@marcusgeorge1825 Well that is news to me. I thought they had stopped making them completely. If I lived in AUS I'd seriously consider one, as they are one of the best handling bikes ever made.
@@TheOriginalCoda I agree however I am biased a little as I raced these back in the 90’s in the Australian Superbike Series when WSB was made up of 4 cylinder 750 cc Japanese bikes and the 916 Ducati. The weight and handling of a 600 Supersports bike with more torque and ponies to use.
I really loved testriding this bike for a few hours. It is SO at home on small backroads, it’s just perfect for that! But on the highway it became a bit buzzy and unstable. Overall I preferred the MT-09 SP, it was just a better all rounder. And even if the 765 engine was great, the gruntier 890cc CP3 was noticeably stronger, except at higher revs where the 765 screamed a bit more and does about 2000rpm more. But purely for street use the lower rpm strength of the CP3 is better I think.
My only request is that for faster bikes like this, you do very high speed autobahn/interstate runs so you can let us know how planted it feels at high-speed compared to like an r6or something more sporty.
Well, comparing my 1250RT and 1300GS to a middleweight naked is not fair at all. So with that said, I loved this bike, if some one were to give me any middleweight for free, I'd take this, hands down. This would be my track day weapon and is still a blast on the street. Seating position is about 3-4 degrees forward, typical naked position but the seat is thin and probably would get old after a few hours on it. Comfort is not a consideration on a naked, unless you are talking the Trident or Kawi Z650 or SV650, but those 3 are a lot cheaper. The Suzuki S8 was fairly comfortable but very forgettable too. take care, Scott

@@NothingToProve Hı Scott, I recently purchased a Trident. Putting performance aside, is there much difference between Trident and the new 765 rs in terms of comfort? There is also an R version I think its sitting position is a little more upright. Are there any big differences between them on the long road? Constantly watch your test videos, find you successful and support you.
@ Thank you! Na, not really, the Trident is more comfortable but just a little bit. The RS and R are just a little more leaned forward but not by much.
Hallo tolles Video, komme aus der gleichen Ecke wie du. Hast du vielleicht einen Tipp, wo man gut Grundfahrübungen machen kann ( Achten fahren, schnell und langsam). Danke schonmal
Sorry no I don't but how I taught my wife to ride was by finding a parking lot on a Sunday, stores are not open, and setting up cones and stuff there. Sundays nothing is open but I've had a few "security" cars drive by and one actually stopped and talked to us to see what we were doing and he said "ok have fun and keep safe" but bottom line is no one has ever cared as long as we were really practicing and not being a hooligan. take care, Scott
Hey man, I know you have test ridden factory tuono 660 2023. Is it better than this rs 765?i mean a do it all bike .Coz About the same price in my country
I'm trying to decide between these 2 bikes u mentioned, i think objectively rs765 is just a better bike. Good fit&finish, reliable, good components but Tuono ergonomics are just perfect for me and it feels so light and flickable and i would pick it but i'm scared of all the issues that people are reporting with oil leaking from everywhere or things like very thin paint
@Croth4r I just found out the same issues you mentioned it seems fit and finish quality of tuono, not the same on those rsv4.might go 765 route but will wait a bit more time as it will be a long term bike

Great review i was going to pick a streetfighter v2 up but the more i see of the RS it makes a lot more sense for a lot less cash.
Ducati can be a nightmare man, my old Daytona has never skipped a beat but my 2022 Ducati lives at the dealership, never again.

Great review! Do you prefer this triple or the MT09 triple?
Great review , as always. You forgot to put in your list, the Mv Agusta Brutale 800 RR with 140 ponies. :-)
Good idea, that would be fine. The Scott-area contains a MV Agusta-dealer!
Yep, beautiful bike
Yes please :) this bike changes Scott

Technique for Street Triple side stand. Use you big toe rather than heel to lower.
Oh yea, forgot about that, Triumphs are "special". 🤦♂️

It's probably a little more lean than your Z900, so no but yes the 09 if more upright then both of them 👍
