Thank you for this comparison on track. I bought the latest 765 RS last year. In the better colour though! Having ridden sports-bikes on track-days in the past, I bought this more to have fun and improve myself on track (I don’t get to do many each year), instead of concentrating too much on the bike. I’ve tested the 890R and 790 Duke before that, the MT09 last year and a lot of the 1000+ naked bikes in the past, including the Triumph 1200 RS back to back with the previous ‘22 model of the 765. I have no brand loyalty. This 765 may not be the most powerful or fastest bike in a straight line, but I just preferred the whole chassis and the engine character of the 765 for track riding. This is comfortable (for me) and most importantly is the most accurate/precise bike for improving yourself I think. It is also pretty much track ready straight out of the box, tyres and all (add a brake lever guard). I’ve uploaded some of my track sessions on my 765 previously, including Cadwell Park. These are just unedited sessions of an experienced (old?!) amateur still trying to improve; ruclips.net/video/9c6l7eyGc38/видео.htmlsi=9QBDHu7nQuubjoSZ
Love my 765RS. Now it’s got a full system and custom tune, it’s up to 130bhp at the wheel, it’s next level. it’s an awesome package to get the most out of and so much fun to ride.
@@spktylr hope so! Although just found out mine is affected by the valve retainer recall… 😢. Its due a service anyway so will get that done while it’s in. It’s been 110% reliable with zero issues so far.
Just did a 8143km Euro trip on the Bridgestone S23 on my KTM Duke 890R. Rode from Finland to Brno. Some track time at Brno followed by 8 days of Cannonball Bike Run 2024. And then a ride home from Sunny Beach Bulgaria. The tyre out performed my expectations and still has some rubber left after all that abuse. ❤
I just did roughly about the same distance on a road trip with my Triumph Street Triple 675R and what a blast it was! So I can imagine how much fun you had! I did my trip on Michelin Road 6, but I'm actually looking at the S23 as my next tires. I'm assuming you had to ride with lots of mix condition... How was your experience in wet/cold condition with the S23 on such a long journey mate?
@@neodurden6793 Join the next Cannonball Bike Run. Let's see if you can keep up. The Brno track session wasn't a full track day thou. That would eat up more tyre for sure.
@@Whataiveur The S23 handled all conditions well. Good grip. Great handling. No complaints really. I would like to try a 180/60 rear thou since the 180/55 is quote easy to get all the way to the edge while the front has plenty of untouched surface still left. Sadly Bridgestone don't make a 180/60 rear in the S23. They do on the S22.
I also appreciate my gen 1 765 RS! Comfort all day long touring, and delivers on track as well! I switched to Michelin Power GP tires. Just as good as SuperCorsa on track, but way better in cold condition and in the rain touring. Awesome tires on this excellent 765 RS!!
The Ducati Monster SP would’ve been more suitable than the V2, but probably would’ve still lost lol. You’re gonna have to redo this next year including that and the new MT09SP.
I wasn't expecting the Street triple to win because it's the least expensive (I think), and probably the least powerful too, but i bought one last year and I love it. I find when you're going slower around turns it feels so agile and sharp, but when you get up to speed it stables out and holds a straight line. Great video!
On board footage is on point and gives great context. I.e our skills are vastly different, our view isn’t. Great test, thanks. I wish they did these bikes in comfortable faired designs. GSX8R is barking up the right tree, Ducati Supersport also, 120-130bhp is Goldilocks for the road.
Isn't that funny how nothing gets fairings north of the 650-750 class, except the superbikes (like R1, CBR Fireblade, Panigale, etc) or sports-tourers. I would be happy with a quarter fairing without any other changes. Remember stuff like the FZ1, Bandit 1250S? Nice quarter fairings on otherwise naked sportsbikes.
What tyre is on the rear of the Ducati? They have been selling the midclass Ducati's on 180/60 tyres for ages but I don't believe Bridgestone even make the S23 in 180/60 yet. Atleast the don't advertise it on their website. So what is on then? A S22 180/60 or a S23 180/55. I have had a load of 180/55 S22's on my bike, it has a really flat profile that gives stabilty but it does not have the much more agressive steap sides of the Pirelli's that Ducati's are sold on. If it is a 180/55 S23 on the Ducati, it would be completely logical if it was slow steering.
I’ve had a 180/55 S21 and a 180/60 S22. That flat profile is the only problem with what could be a great tyre. The R11 had a better profile but was a terrible tyre. Don’t even look at Bridgestone anymore.
Very good point. Still, I find my SFV2 slow steering on stock tyres anyway. Increasing rear preload by 3 mm helped a lot (85 kg rider) but it's still not up to hypersport standards. On stock setup I even crashed, failing to commit in corner fast enough after passing cyclists. It's an adorable machine full of V2 character but not the best handling.
@@churchofbrap876 the mt09 loses to the triumph in speed and agility dude. Not a shot, just a fact. The street triple is just about as close to perfect as any bike can get.
@@churchofbrap876 yep, but still not better on track then a 765 (Yamaha still used rubber brake lines) but the mt09 has a better mid-range punch so on the road it will be more fun.
Nice video. I bought some Bridgestone S22 last year on sale looking at all these videos using Bridgestone tires in the UK. Great tires on my 2019 STT RS. And the grip is consistent as they get old. Needs more promotion here in Canada to build the brand as they are very underrated here, surprisingly. I run 28psi at the front and 26 at the rear on a sunny track day here in Canada (where it can get really hot 30C). Surprised of seeing the Bridgestone rep (sorry cant remember his name), giving much higher value. Maybe track temp difference between England and here ? Quick question if someone has the time to answer. Switching this bike to a trackday bike (no more road riding). Is it worth it to go with an racing street RS11 then ? I dont want to use warmers.
This test shows once again that riding impressions on motorcycles are extremely subjective and ultimately you can never avoid a test ride. I had a Yamaha MT-09 SP for 3 years, which is considered hyper-agile, and I had so much more fun on the twisty country roads on my test ride with the Ducati Streetfighter V2 than I ever had with the Yamaha. The Ducati can simply do everything better, which is why I ordered one straight away, which will be delivered in two weeks. If I had known that motorcycles could ride like the Streetfighter does, I would have bought it much sooner. Greetings from Germany
Curious, I think the new MT09-SP (2024 model) is pretty good for street riding. Me and my wife both need a new bike, but we have the choice from 3, the Triumph street triple rs, KTM 990 duke and Yamaha mt09sp. Mostly road riding and sometimes we do track days together (she's in the beginner group, no knee downs yet) and I'm in the middle, I don't chase lap times I just want to have a good time.
@@tubejorritI'm in the same boat looking at the same bike. I'm on an mt07 so upgrading to mt09sp seems like the right move, but the st rs and Duke are so good... It's hard lol
KTM is a brand with its own style, sharp, agressive, futuristic, different. I'm glad brand with complete different design exist. Even when they are not my taste. Would be sad to have all motorcycles looking the same, bland, minimalist and black or keeping the same style over and over for 40 years. Style does not have to make consensus.
I absolutely love the super duke and that ktm has stuck with the v twin.. BUT.. The first thing I would do if I bought a new super Duke is by an old headlight for it lol..that new headlight is absolutely hideous
I still like road bikes but there's so many look at me Nancy's that got no idea of how to ride. So motocross is my flavour and definitely sorts the men from the boys.
Notches higher in power output. It's considered a "super naked." It's in the same category as 1390 Super Duke R, Tuono V4 1100, Streetfighter V4, Speed Triple RS.

Triumph is too revvy.. not very good on the road, you really notice the lack of torque! Constantly dropping down gears to get the thing going it only seems useful on track but you might aswell buy a sports bike if its track specific..
Hell no. It has plenty torque. It's also really smart with how it delivers it. Sure it's no Ducati but it's plenty. I used to own a Monster before the 765RS and the only thing the Ducati did better was the initial torque. The 765 is a perfect bike.
