Triumph Street Triple RS 765 Review

The latest Triumph Street Triple RS delivers even more triple engine power and torque, more aggressive styling, poise and attitude, and even better technology. It’s the ‘Ultimate Performance Street Bike.

Options,

• Street Triple S £8,100 - 660cc

• Street Triple R £9,300 - 765cc

• Street Triple R Low £9,300 - 765cc

• Street Triple RS £10,700 - 765cc

The S model comes with the 660cc triple you get in the Trident 660, so is also available for the A2 licence holder, this comes as great news to the industry and the new rider just starting out.

The R Low is a lowered version with a 45mm lower seat at 780mm.

While the R and RS look the same the RS boasts Brembo M50 callipers against the R version which has Brembo M4 brakes. Other changes are the suspension is Ohlins rear shock and better Showa 41mm big piston forks on the RS.

First time I threw my leg over this bike it felt very well put together, seating position is upright slightly sporty but very comfortable. The triple engine sounds amazing from the under slung 3 into 1 exhaust that now exits low down and i know there are some that like the older under seat pipes, but I think this set up looks great.

On my first evenings ride the bike felt so planted on the road with great suspension, chassis and holds the road so well on those Pirelli Super Corsa Tyres. This is one serious focussed bike either for the street or the track. The engine spins up with ease until it hits the redline at 14,000rpm and braking is one finger with those excellent Brembo disks and M50 Callipers using latest Brembo top master cylinder.

Switch gear is nice and tactile however I did find initially that the indicator button felt a tad close to the joystick that alters the screen settings, with little travel when pushing the indicator switch left or right, a very micro switch feel, but after a few days i got used to it and with self cancelling indicators it makes life a lot easier. Why don’t all bikes have these.

The headlights are all new and not Bug Eyes 👀 anymore and have great DRL‘s which look nice and bright and with all led lighting On the bike.

The dashboard was my other downside, while amazing how configurable it is with 4 different layouts, I found it difficult to read the Rev counter at times, however you can configure to have a numbered read out and I chose this as it worked the best. Maybe my eye site is not what it used to be 😂. The dash has a fuel gauge telling me how many miles left, which I wish all motorcycles had and nice work triumph!. You can also add an accessory module which then connects to your phone and adds many functions through the dash including GoPro control, music, phone etc.

The rider modes were configurable while riding except track mode which you have to pull up and adjust while stopped.

After riding this bike for many days i found it to be one of the best handling motorcycle i have ridden on the road today, and I’ve ridden many!.

If you get chance to test ride one do so you won’t be disappointed!.
