MV Agusta Brutale 800 2016

MV Agusta Brutale 800 2016

Very sharp, naked sports machine with killer charisma.

Smooth and precise automatic gearshift up and down

very tight chassis with lots of feedback, rev-happy three-cylinder with a great husky sound

Throttle response and responsiveness a little rough and a touch too direct in "Sport" mode

Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2017

Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2017

The top model among the Street Triples fully deserves the designation. Sportier in all respects than the R version, the RS presents itself on the country road as a fun machine that has few opponents to fear. Trackdays on the racetrack are also an issue, especially since the engine is very sharp, the Brembo brakes are super-sporty and the suspension with the Öhlins damper is wonderfully precise. The handling is a stunner anyway, the Street Triple is still the lightest in its class. The standard quickshifter further consolidates the position of the top model.
