Nice jacket Andy, could you please let me know what it is?
It's my Segura Nacho (Can't believe how many people have asked me about this!!) www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/477495/#/23636,0,0
@@TheMissendenFlyer Nacho? Does it come with a chip or two? If so, presumably for the shoulders.
@@TheMissendenFlyer the material doesn't appear to be abrassion resistant - do you layer it with something that is.
Problem with sports bike shop is, there is never any stock left. Segura jacket in that blue is not available.
It's a strange thing seeing these modern, up-to-date machines, which I know I would have loved in younger times but as an oldie, now, mostly liking all the retro bikes.
Know the feeling when looking at the bikes on offer... my brain, that still operates as if I'm 18 where biking is concerned desires the latest Striple RS...however my 1946 body says otherwise... l guess, like you l will eventually head down the 'classic bike' route.... then a walking frame with ''Gofast Stripes''....
Carnival red would be the sole reason I'd go for the RS.
I was supposed to take delivery of a T120 Bonneville this spring, but I then made the "mistake" of having a go on the dealer's Street Triple RS demo bike...
So a few days later I had to sit down for a chat with the sales representative about a slight alteration to that contract.
I honestly think yr channel is one of the best. And wot with the flying segment you are setting a massive high standard cheers andy
Wow - thank you....
As a side note, if you do commit to include the Street to your garage, there is an anodized brake reservoir as an optional extra for not so much money. Yes, I agree it should be there as standard, as should a radiator cover.
Triumph made this bike lighter than the previous. This was imaginatively done by making the fuel tank smaller, genius!! Either way its a cracker and a great colour too. "I've run out of bottle", the words of an honest man. Thanks again TMF.
Had the yellow for 3 months now. Get the suspension dialled in for your weight and set it right and it’s plush yet firm. Absolutely perfect and doesn’t get out of shape like my old R. I had the 2018 R previously which has the same suspension and brakes as the new R and its a nice step up I think. My 3rd Street Triple and the best. Yes TFT is same as Tiger but smaller and is the weak point with the bike but it’s a minor disappointment and I owned a Tiger so knew what I was getting 😂 And if all else fails I can just stare at it because in the yellow it looks great to my eyes.
What’s your weight mate? I think the spring rate could make the difference.
@@stephenspiteri_zunkus I’m 13 stone so I guess closer to 14 stone in full gear. The spring rate is 95N/mm so that’s ideally 12 - 15 stone. I had to add a little preload to get the sag right.
It makes me laugh when people moan about the suspension and the screen . 1 who stares at the screen for hours on end 2 Set the suspension for your weight and 3 the price difference (RS to R ) is negligible, I had a ride on the Street Triple it’s amazing 🤩 9/10 it would be 10/10 but I felt it a little bit cramped
Bought one last year in Cosmic yellow, fitted tail tidy, taken the reflectors of the front shockers lol. Stunning colour, fast agile and fun. I’m 5ft 6 so had to buy the lower seat which helps quite a bit. Defo recommend it. Premium bike at an affordable price. Great video as usual. 😊
Thanks for a really fun review. Your hill-climb moment reminded me of an oft-used quip from the old ‘Performance Bike’ magazine: “If you’ve got the bottle, we’ve got the throttle.” Thanks again.
Cool, thanks!
I think I'm gonna have to go with the RS just because of the CC option. I just love the color on this one, thanks!
Love the Street Triple RS, hell of a bike. Looking forward to the comparison
The sound of that bike is gorgeous with the looks it is such a great package! Must say thanks for your route- the traffic lights where you got stopped are almost opposite Monks Risborough church where my wife and I got married. Then you rode down Peters Lane, Whiteleaf where my parents in law’s used to live. Haven’t been there for 25 years was great to see, thanks🙂
I ride up there a lot (including yesterday!)
You have to LOVE Triumph triples such an amazing sound . I have had 3 triples and really miss the Whistle on the engine. Great 👍 review
Couldn't agree more!
An absolute jewel of a bike. I don't know about you TMF, but Ideally I'd like the the rs engine in the r and I'd be a very happy boy 🙂
Great video as always even if the auto captions introduced you at the start as ‘Mr Floor’…..😂🤦♂😂
Thanks for the good review. Like you, I love the new yellow on offer - really suits it. Great bike that’s for sure. Cheers! 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Remember my 2017 RX in gloss black.... absolutely adored it, have a speed triple in diablo red with arrow exhausts on (no baffles) no way near as comfy as the street but the noise is just insane 😂
Very nice Andy and love the colour also, personally i'd go for the R model. I'm not usually into nakeds but this street triple is making me think thrice 😁
Love this bike to death been riding 8h per day for the last week ! Its amazing
How has it been
@@chriswest2290 its still amazing I dont regret it one bit !
@themetalicious7195 that's awesome. Im buying the rs or the 2024 mt09 this year. Though disicion. how's the reliability?
@@chriswest2290 no problems whatsoever so far going in my 2nd year with it!
Buy the STR rode them both a lot. STR all day all night
Beautiful bike , stunning colour ,the metallic red is also very nice , I prefer this instrument cluster,to the other version,but like you the button switch gear seems a better option, nice review,,
Bike is in for mot on monday. Might book a test ride 👍 thanks as always
This reminds me of my second bike back in 2001-04, the Honda Hornet 600cc. Gotta love a yellow bike .
I went for the RS for colour choices, brakes, suspension and it just feels more premium. Stock suspension is a bit firm for our bumpy B roads which I normally ride but I changed it to the Triumph comfort settings and now it is plush and just perfect for these roads. I would have liked a better Tachometer but it doesn't distract from it being an absolutely amazing bike!
did you manually adjust the suspension? Did you get Triumph to do it for you?
@@PRG888 I did it myself. The instructions and settings are in the owners handbook
so, the suspension on the RS can be toned down to be just plush for the bad roads? That is very good to hear! Thank you for sharing! I like the yellow one the most, but this "harsher" suspension from RS got me concerned.
@@Kodreanu23 I would suggest you ask your dealer to adjust the suspension on their demo bike to the comfort settings so you can see what it is like for yourself as it is very subjective
Great review Andy! That yellow does look gorgeous 😍
Yes it's the one to have I think isn't it....although the red is my next fave....
I have the 2019 RS in Matte Black and its amazing, the suspension as mentioned below has to be tuned for you then the bike is perfect for almost anything except here in the New England region where we have less then great roads at times. Was down picking up a 900 Rally Pro and saw the new colors and fell in love again its a perfect bike to put a grin on your face. And that is what its all about.
Sure is!
Another great video Andy, I love the yellow colour
You and me both!
I'm really enjoying your videos, but perhaps not for the reason you think. I used to visit relatives who lived in Great Missenden, and a lot of your footage brings back memories. I'm surprised at how much seems familiar, even after nearly fifty-years' absence. It's great fun to see bits of the countryside flash past!
Brilliant! Let me know if there’s anywhere in particular you’d like me to go….
As expected, the 765rs looks and sounds as good as we thought it would, and that particular colour nails it. But for me I'd go for thr 765r, because of the 'running out of bottle' factor, it would be wasted on me haha. Only thing I'd change would be the mirrors, those bar end one's look great. Hopfully get to see the direct comparison video.
Great review! Love mine in carnival red. Safe riding
Yes the red is beautiful too.....
Good choice, yellow attracts the flies🪰🪰
Awesome videos. I have a 2016 R (72000 km and counting) and bought and sold a 2018 RS as I felt the R was a better road bike. The 2018 RS also had a pronounced powerband favouring higher RPM's and I liked the R's linear powerband.
I am leaning towards the R version, but I kinda wish it had more colours and cruise control.
You are definitely helping me decide.
Glad to be of help!
Love the new Street Triple RS. Can’t wait to arrange a test ride. Just a bit worried the test ride will result in another new bike! 😂
That is always the danger!
Great review.. I think I’d pay the extra purely for the nicer paint schemes 😊
Nice one Andy. Thank you. 👍😎
Great video as always, I do like this bike. I have a Triumph Trident now, and was thinking about having this as the next upgrade of the Ducati Monster plus.
Go for it!
Beautiful bike, especially the colour. The lower exhaust is going to be way more comfortable in Summer. I remember the burnt buns from my Daytona 675 days! 😱
I do prefer the underslung exhaust, shorter distance, less weight and more fitting to the bike. I did like the underseat when they came out but quickly changed my opinion when I rode a Ducati in summer with them fitted.
@@stephenspiteri_zunkus Ducatis run quite hot as well!
@@SteveInskip Yeah, those rear cylinders on the Ducatis really roast the chestnuts in traffic
@@ThiefOfNavarre yeah, I’ve got a Morini Corsaro. You definitely don’t want to be stuck in traffic on a hot day! 🥵🥵😂
So tempted to upgrade my 2021 Striple.
Great Review. Let's you feel like it would be to ride one. Looking forward to your conclusion video of the two variants.
Sad to see my MT10 go, but the 765rs is far more suitable for my style of riding, wonderful bike. Cheers Andy 😊
Wow! Your moving from the mighty MT10 to the RS! Here I was thinking that I made a bold move when switching from my gutsy MT09SP. What was your first notable difference excluding the power of course?
I have an MT10, it’s arguably a bit much for the road. I had a test ride of the 2021 Street triple rs and I’d say it’s more fun to ride than the MT10
@@stephenspiteri_zunkus u got this after mt09sp? How is it different?
@@stephenspiteri_zunkus the main thing is the light flickable agile nature, I genuinely believe i can ride this quicker than a MT10.
The plastic brake reservoirs on Triumphs have never bothered me ! 😀
Great review Andy, i totally agree re your comment about the standard version being better suited to the road, sometimes, less is definitely more. Love the colour, but don`t like those style parts at the bottom of the tank that point forward, too much style influence from other manufacturers.
The difference between the R and the Rs is not only the breaks and suspension. it is also that beautiful yellow paint job. and the red is really sweet also. I wish those colors came on the R. it would be hard not to want to want to pay the extra money for the RS just for the HP and suspension, but the paint job just solidifies it. but I wonder if you could adjust the RS suspension to be as nice on the road as the R. love that stock sound.
Oh yes the comfort settings make it nice n plush!
Track weapon ready! More RPM (like more happy zone 😊), more braking power (brembo stylema) and better suited to the track day (moto2) 💛💛💛 and Cosmic Yellow is awesome 😄
Lovely ....was waiting for your review since the day Triumph launched the 2023 version. Red also looks smashing...
Yes it does - though I think the Yellow may tip it for me....
I wish triumph would and this sticker craziness. Lovely colour this yellow - reminds me of the original Daytona. 😊
You and me both!
Please give us the Daytona back triumph. 🙏 In yellow!
Nice to see videos of the R and RS back to back. The engines sound great. Its a pity Triumph spoiled the Tiger with the "T-plane" crank. I would have had one otherwise.
Yes agreed....
I have owned a Tiger 800, 1200 and now own a 900. The 900 is by far the best engine for any kind of off-road work and still is nice to tour with
I completely agree the T plane crank is a major mistake. I tried one when they came out , I think about three years ago. It just felt "rough" and "lumpy". Unlike 120 degree "classic" triples.
I could have been vaguely interested in a Tiger 900 , if it had a 120 degree crank and 17 inch front wheel . As it is I'm more interested in a Yamaha Tracer 9 GT , for a 2 up tourer type bike.
If Triumph really wanted to make a twin adventure bike, why not just make a twin ? I guess a bit less effort to just make a silly T plane crank, and matching cam shaft , and keep the existing way of casting of the block. The T plane crank to me is a gimmick.
@@karlosh9286 100% agree.
I owned a 2015 800 tiger xrx for 5 years, great bike..... Since owned the 900 tiger pro for the last 2 years. I find the 900 better in every respect, from the sound and handling to the character. Feels like a real bike, as opposed to the 800, which was more like a 4 cylinder with the associated high speed vibes through the bars....
Chatting to my Carol who owns a 2015 Street Triple. She prefers the R, slightly lower at the back, don't need the fancy Bluetooth dash. Just wish they would offer the decent paint paint schemes that they offer on the RS.
Would it really cost that much to have one painted up to your taste or use vinyl wrap ?
I do agree tho the cool colours look great
The colors for the RS are pretty good and I agree the R needs some better colors though.
I’m 100% with you in only offering decent paint in the RS….sneaky.
@@majordelays4909 Inquired a few years ago as she liked her old Imperial Purple bike. Over 1K back then. You're soon spending what it costs to buy the RS
This looks like fun bike for track days.
Just purchased this exact bike, same yellow colour. It's considered the 24 year model here in the US.
Cannot wait to get it in the canyons!!!
COngratulations - great choice!
Test rode the rs and r back to back rs is way to track focused r feels much nicer on the road still fully adjustable suspension. I bought the r version with saved money stuck some extras on it 👍🏻
Just watched both Street Triple reviews. I agree entirely with you on the Popeye headlights look. Have you ever evaluated a Double Tronics module? Its supposed to solve the issue by giving the high beam a little power when the low is on. It might be a gimmick, but maybe it works.
I have the 2021 version, fantastic fun bike, permanent smile on my face when riding it, going to swap the tyres for super sport tyres rather than the track focused ones that come as standard (40% grip in the wet), I think for the money Triumph should come up with something nearer to BMW’s instrument panel, acceleration is addictive, suspension factory settings great if you weigh 9st and riding on a race track.
I really do love the look of the 765 in the Yellow
Yes me too….
Great review as always Andy...l did watch the R review...Couple of observations. With the best suspension in the world its still set as a compromise isn't it. l have the suspension set up for Er' spirited riding... but its only relevant for good surface roads... move onto a more agricultural road and it becomes painful.... Coping with UK's bumpy, pot holed roads demands respect...Secondly my Striple was initialy fitted with Pirelli Corsa's. Here in Spain they stuck to the hot roads like they were glued, unfortunately they soon wore out, so now l use Pirelli Rosso Mk 3, which again is a compromise, in cost and possible grip, albeit a small one... The Triumph Street Triple 'IS' the benchmark of the genre, always has been.... l still ride my 2014 version, it's immaculate to look at and rides beautifully... If my pension would run to the latest RS l would do it...
Yes I agree totally Brian - I very much miss my 2012 "R" - would love a Street Triple again!!
You ask one question at the end, "Why would you choose a Speed Triple over a Street Triple?" and the answer to that now is when I bought my 2019 Speed Triple RS (after selling my 2013 Street Triple R is - Torque. Still intoxicating, will always be intoxicating. I love it.
40hp.
The problem is they all look good, if I could i would add one to the garage, along with a dual sport and possibly a HD of some description. Not enough days to ride them all, then it is how do you choose between them 🤔
Sticking with the speedmaster and waiting to see what the off-road small capacity bike will look like when they bring it out 😉
A well balanced review Andy. Excellent.
Your comments about the difference in ride quality between the R and RS are pretty much evident in your early onboard shots, simply by watching the ‘shake’ of your helmet cam. I think it would have to be the relative plushness of the R for me, with my slightly dodgy back
It's got fully adjustsble suspension, including fork preload. You can dial it in to any characteristics you want, and get it set just right for your weight. It's quite firm setup from factory, but you can get it very plush and comfortable, while still being sharp.
I do wish that Triumph gives out more info about the spring rates of these bikes. If they’re the same then the holing could emulate the R shock no problem.
@@stephenspiteri_zunkus I agree, that would be nice. There's charts for different suspension settings in the owners manual, but not much info (i think..?) on rider weights and spring adjustment settings, rear sag etc.
You'll have to find that for yourself, but not knowing where to start it's a bit of trial and error. But worth it!
@@grotesqo8570 You can tweak compression and rebound damping I agree, but changing preload on the front or rear doesn’t affect the spring rate (as Stephen alludes to)
@@Maverick-moto Yes, but that's the case for every motorcycle ever made ;) So if the spring rate is wrong for your weight, you'll always need to change springs on any bike.
I'd love your opinion on this compared to a BMW S 1000 R? I had one of them when they came out here in Australia in 2014 and absolutely LOVED that thing. I loved the power, the handling and the ride in general. I did find it could be a very harsh ride on roads that were a pretty old and patched many times but, mostly it was great. I wound up having a very bad accident thanks to a dill launching his 4X4 wagon out into me at 100 kph which has had me too wrecked for too long but now, starting to really want another one but, this is a fair bit cheaper, I'm getting on at near 70 and may not even be able to do the sort of miles I was clocking up before. I know I loved that BMW but maybe this could do the job and be just as exciting? I SHOULD probably be looking at a big tourer but, I have always hated great overfat things with big but sluggish engines, I DO love light, high performance and great handling machines. I also have a completely stuffed left knee so that weight issue comes in to that too.
I am really liking the way this seems to go, despite the hp and torque difference of the BMW having 165 hp and 114 NM of torque compared to this's 121 hp and 79 MN torque which suggest it's probably going to pull pretty darned good at revs but needs those revs to go much more than the BMW. I haven't ridden one of these either so a comparative ride description would be really appreciated, especially considering age and many many injuries suffered over many years of riding and racing.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: You quoted 128 HP. Mine figures are from the AU dealership and maybe they're slightly different emissions or state of tune. Odd that they'd differ though. As for riding modes, stuff them. On my S 1000 R I put it in dynamic pro, turned off traction control and anti lock on the rear and kept it like that, rain hail or shine. When new, first rain I tried their silly rain mode and it was so doughy it was difficult to ride in some ways. It's called THROTTLE CONTROL BMW!! Just tell people to ADAPT to conditions!
What a beautiful looking bike, can’t wait for the comparison of the R&RS.
Stay tuned!
I test rode one about a month ago and ordered one straight away, they couldnt get a yellow one till November so i ordered one for march 24 cant wait.
Congratulations!
I have the exact same bike, I got the suspension set up for me for £50, makes a great bike ride and handle even better, what a bike these are...
Totally agree! Great machines….
Great review!
Thanks!
Looking forward to hearing you sum up between the R and RS and which one you’d buy….
Dream bike, great review, sir.
Glad you enjoyed it
Can I recommend watching the starts of your videos with subtitles? Always entertaining to learn of your new identity. Today apparently you are Mr Floor 😂. Anyway the bike looks stunning in that colour. Have they found the colour chart behind a cupboard at long last?
Looks like they may have done!
Like you Andy I rode the R and RS back to back but unlike you I found the ride on the RS more plush (maybe a previous tester messed about with the suspension settings),I do agree with you about the Rs TFT being preferable though I must confess what made me opt for the RS was the colour, I went for the cosmic yellow, Triumph have definitely raised the bar once again. incidentally the cosmic yellow and carnival red are an extra 200 quid but IMO well worth it.
I rode both back to back as well starting with the r. I agree the rs is plusher. I couldn't notice the extra 10 bhp either, you'd have to be reving it high to notice that which I didn't do on the test rides as both bikes only had around 30 miles on them. For me it was the colour /nicer spec and the fact it's my first ever brand new bike that made me opt for the rs.
Really love that yellow color.
Thank you for the great job! I can not wait for the comparison video between the R and RS. It looks to me that for road rider, R is even better, I could live with the white one.
While talking about the triples, have you considered doing a review on the "new" Yamaha XSR900? Everyone is giving that bike compliments all over the tube. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts. Thank you for the great videos.
Great bike to ride I;m sure but I can't get on with those looks!
@@TheMissendenFlyer for me, yellow and red look better than grey and white
Another great video, thanks for info 👍, looking at one in Central California USA , trading in the Kim 1290 s , 2019 just past 25000 Miles .Bought a BMW 1250 Gsa last year to replace the big KTM for touring duty’s, want one that could go down any dirt road , 12500 miles so far .
I think, if I had to choose between the 2 of them, I would have the R version. As much as the braking is sharp and the rear end under control, it's just too sporty for me pottering around the way I do. I'm still not sold on the look of either of them. I know what running out of bottle feels like, I had the exact same thought as I watched the needle slip past 230 on my Bluebell one late summer night last year, I couldn't stop farting for an hour after it 😁
I found the 2022 Street Triple 765RS firm in the suspension and after a year I traded it on a very low kilometres BMW R road bike which I used also for touring. I miss it and upon reflection should have bought the R765R instead of the RS. I didn't use it racing but I was a sucker for bling.
Superb bike, superb riding jacket
Thanks ✌️
One thing to correct; the R has separate function Showa BigPistonFork with preload on the left leg and compression and rebound on the right. The RS has upgraded combined function Showa, also BigPistonFork but with adjustments for preload, compression, and rebound on both legs. The RS front fork has more flexibility in adjustment and compliance across road and specially track riding =)
I didn’t spot that - thanks for the clarification!
Great review.
Thanks!
Nice bike and would love one!! But over here in New Zealand cost is a bit high for it ( $23,000.00 ) Would love to hear your thoughts on the Yamaha MT-07 2023.
keep up the good work.
Hi from New Jersey.
Yet another great video.
Would you be able to do a review on a Honda Transalp 750 being that it will probably not arrive to the States until, say, September/October. Cheers.
Yep - I have one coming in a few weeks....
Would love to see this colour way back on it's bigger Triple Brother 👍😎
Thank you Mt. Flyer. So no surprises here as expected I'm sure. Once you have finally decided on the gender of the bike you'll be sorted lol. I agree with you that this bike and colour combo is absolutely stunning, and in another world maybe I'd go for this but I'm really not changing my '21 R any time soon. I'm really interested to hear how these bikes compare and which you would (or will hehe) go for. Keep up the great work I'll catch you next time. :>)
All bikes are "she" aren't they??
@@TheMissendenFlyer So not "brothers" as you said a few times in the vlog?
aha - got me!!
Beautiful looking motorcycle and that colour is great. Why do the headlights remind me of transformers bumblebee !? Right to be a gushing fan boy with that one ! 😀👍
I like the clear plastic reservoir, can see when the fluid needs bleeding.
There is that yes!
Love my beautiful cosmic yellow RS, the best bike Triumph has made in years IMHO. A couple of clicks less compression and more rebound front and rear make a massive difference to on-road ride quality. The standard R is good, but the RS is just the ultimate middleweight mousetrap at present.
It sure is a lovely bike - you're a fortunate man Rich!
I was only just thinking where is my Wednesday dose of Andy. And voila here thee be
It reminds me of a wasp alittle wot with it being yellow and the headlight. But it suits the bike a very nice looking bike cheers Andy
Heated grips is an extra unfortunately, but you can get cruise control on the RS. Had mine for 2 months, amazing bike.
Thanks for the clarification and glad you're enjoying the bike!
A lot of people talking about suspension set up in the comments, maybe you could make the simple "more compliant" adjustments recommended in the owner's manual (or talk to Triumph if the loan bike does not have one) and feedback to all your thoughts in one of your videos.
Yes not a bad idea that!
What a great looking bike, especially in that colour - makes those ridiculous bug eye headlights look purposeful 😂. Sounds great too, I must never test ride!
Good plan!
Hi Andy, Great review on the R and the RS.
Have you compared sport on the R with road in the RS to see if dialling down the RS makes a difference. So if you purchase an RS for track days in Sport and Road for being sensible thx
+1 - great question. Ride/suspension overlap is key here.
The red one is mint looking too.
Agreed....
Very professional review. I have a T595 in "Strontium yellow". It proudly has Union flag badges on each side. But it was built back in the days when incorporating flags in your products meant something.
Nice bikes, I'd love one 😊
@@gavinmurrell3415 Would you kindly expand on the revised meaning please?
@@trevorphillips3055 I paid 2k delivered! I did have to remove some cowhorn handlebars and a centre stand though. I owned a new 509, then updated to a 955i speed triple when they came out and had clip-ons on both, so this bike feels like old shoes! Super cheap to insure as well.
@@gavinmurrell3415 Thanks. The ads at the time stated that 80% of the parts on the bike were UK made. That's what compelled me to get one at that time, then another 2 years later. Now the union flag has been incorporated into the brand logo. Personally, this type of marketing insults the brand heritage, but it seems to work for most. The original (JIT/TQM) factory tour I went on is now some visitor "experience". I don't understand why they still cost so much when Thailand wages are so much lower... .
@MichaelDisney I get the appeal, I bought an 04 roulette green speed triple in 07 and kept it for 8 yrs. The 955i was a great engine. 👍🏻
Another great review of an awesome news bike TMF love the colour but it actually comes across in the video as orange not that it's a problem as it looks the nuts!! But again why so much black they are not all body coloured ie the front mudguard the bits on the side of the radiator part of the rear part of the panels & again no coloured wheels such a shame yet again from triumph!!! 🙄🥺 Anyway no more moaning as its a stonking great bike you best go buy one if its that good!! 👌🏻👍🏻😁 All the best Dave... 😃
Did you and Chopsy time your reviews to be released at a similar time?😂
Great review as always Andy.
No - we try not to talk to each other as we are arch enemies.....
@@TheMissendenFlyer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent review Andy. Keep up the great work! I know you've got a Kawasaki Z900RS SE, but if you didn't, and had a choice between the Kawasaki Z900RS SE and this Triumph Street Triple 765RS, which one would you go for?
Well I did have that choice of course (I could have bought the street triple instead)…so I have to answer the Kawasaki….dont forget I owned a street triple for 10 years so have them out of my system for now (great bikes though)….
A cracking machine, no doubt. I think, however, like you, I'd gravitate toward the R. As you state, it's got all the real-world performance that you'd want, it's lighter and, of course, cheaper. Still, if more bells and whistles are one's thing, the RS is the one to go for. Love the colour on this, though. The Triumph site appears to show just one colour choice for the R; black with a red frame. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
As with the appraisal of the R, a good review.
Looking forward to your next 'Classic' overview.
Ooops! Correction. Regarding colours. Scrap the red frame!!
Got Monsters and SV's on the brain, obviously!😂
Sorry community!
Great looking bike there andy looks like a transformer triumph did a good job one question is the bike smooth when accelerating. Good review by the way
Oh yes - smoooth as you like!
Yellow and the red look fantastic. Seems they’ve made the bike better for the road overall than the 2018 I had (and didn’t love nearly as much as the 2010 675r I had before).
Question on the suspension though - presumably you can dial out some of the harshness you felt over the R to make it less track focused?
Yes I assume so…..
Dial out ............... LoL. You mean fit a spring with the correct rating for his weight. It is likely too stiff even on the R!
Great review on a cool looking bike.
The yellow just complements the bike and I’m going to assume Mr Magoo no longer works for Triumph.
People I know in the trade are already saying that the Yellow 765 is in short demand and some punters are having to wait till 2024.
Short demand or short supply 🤔

Sorry about my miss worded comment as it should of said.
High Demand, Short Supply
I use to be dyslexic but I’m batter now.
I've always liked these, but I won't lie, the yellow colour is the main reason I finally pulled the trigger on one.
Yes looks great doesn’t it….
mirrors look cool.
Thank you TMF.
Very welcome
Ugh I want a striple so bad, I’m absolutely in love with the looks. But given that I have no plans of every going to the track I can’t help but wonder if the MT09 sp or the 890 Duke r are better for regular roads?
Nah - the Triumph is the one!
