Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2017

Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2017

The golden mean of the three Street Triple Schwesetern S, R and RS inspires with balanced riding performance - not too comfortable but far enough away from the top model RS. The engine characteristics aim for a bulbous middle in the rev range and exude a lot of charisma - among other things because of the unique sound. In terms of handling, there is hardly anything better; the Street Triple is the lightest in its class. For smaller riders, there is a version with a low seat height, and for A2 licence holders, there is a variant with 95 hp that can easily be throttled down to 48 hp.

Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2020

As before, the RS top model is indeed the most desirable of the Street Triples. In addition to the usual playful handling, the super-direct Brembo brakes and the lively character of the three-cylinder engine, there is now a more bulbous mid-range, upgraded electronics as well as a Brembo M50 brake and the once again sharpened appearance. Thanks to the very sporty Pirelli Supercorsa SP V3 tyres, trackdays are indeed a serious issue, and the now standard shift assistant with blipper function greatly increases the incentive to switch to the new model. A wonderful fun machine for both country road and track!

Fantastically lively engine

quickshifter with blipper as standard
