In terms of the chassis, the Yamaha MT-07 2016 has a steel frame, while the Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2023 has an aluminum frame. The aluminum frame in the Triumph makes it lighter and more rigid, resulting in better handling and maneuverability.

In terms of dimensions and weights, both bikes have the same front and rear tire width and diameter. However, the Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2023 has a slightly longer wheelbase of 1402 mm compared to the 1400 mm of the Yamaha MT-07 2016.

Moving on to the strengths of each bike, the Yamaha MT-07 2016 is praised for its very agile engine, easy handling, low weight, aggressive angular look, powerful brakes, comfortable seating position, throaty sound, and extensive and easy-to-read display.

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
