Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2023

Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2023

The overhaul of the Street Triple family for 2023 has been more than successful. The R we tested is the entry-level model - but there is little sign of this, because thanks to the extensive standard equipment, the cleanly working chassis and the high-quality workmanship, hardly any wishes remain unfulfilled even here. The 765 cubic capacity three-cylinder is a doozy anyway and not only impresses with its running culture and revving pleasure, but also its responsiveness and dosing is first-class. The new Street Triple 765 R is a really fair offer.

High-end engine

great running culture

high-quality electronics

balanced ergonomics

well tuned chassis

sporty brake system

extensive standard equipment

excellent price-performance ratio

Display unit very minimalist

Fittings on the handlebars look more favourable than the rest of the motorbike

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2022

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2022

The fun bike MT-09 is at its best in the SP version! The extremely fun, lively three-cylinder engine feels like more than just 119 hp thanks to the abundance of torque. Add to that terrific, bike-like handling and phenomenal, finely controllable brakes. The upright, rear-facing riding position doesn't take away as much front-wheel feel in the MT-09 SP, as the high-quality chassis gives clean feedback from the road and rides every radius with stability. Unfortunately, as is typical for Yamaha, the clarity of the TFT display and the operating concept of the lush electronics leave a lot to be desired. The seat and pillion comfort could also be better. Otherwise, however, the MT-09 SP is the (almost) perfect bike for massive riding fun.

Lively, high-torque engine

Extremely agile handling

Top brakes

High-quality chassis

Pure driving pleasure!

Poorly legible TFT display

rather hard seat

control of electronics could be more intuitive
