Overview - Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2020 vs BMW F 900 R 2021

The Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2020 and the BMW F 900 R 2021 are both naked bikes with similar engine types, fuel systems, and cooling systems. However, there are several key differences between the two models.

In terms of engine power, the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2020 has a higher output with 123 HP compared to the BMW F 900 R 2021's 105 HP. The Triumph also has a slightly lower torque of 79 Nm compared to the BMW's 92 Nm. This means that the Triumph may offer more acceleration and top speed capabilities.

Both bikes feature upside-down telescopic fork front suspension and swing arm rear suspension with monoshock absorbers. However, the Triumph offers more adjustability options with compression, preload, and rebound adjustments for the rear suspension, while the BMW only offers preload and rebound adjustments. This means that riders may have more control over the suspension settings on the Triumph.

In terms of chassis, the Triumph features an aluminum frame, while the BMW has a steel frame. The aluminum frame on the Triumph may contribute to its lower weight of 187 kg compared to the BMW's 211 kg. This could result in better maneuverability and agility for the Triumph.

Both bikes have double disk front brakes with four pistons, but the Triumph features Brembo M50 brakes, which are known for their excellent performance. The BMW only has radial brakes. This means that the Triumph may offer better braking capabilities and more precise control.

In terms of advanced rider assistance systems, both bikes have ABS and riding modes. However, the Triumph also includes additional features such as ride by wire, a quickshifter, and traction control. These features can enhance the overall riding experience and provide more control and safety.

In terms of dimensions and weights, the BMW has a longer wheelbase of 1518 mm compared to the Triumph's 1405 mm. This could result in better stability and straight-line performance for the BMW. The BMW also has a lower seat height of 815 mm compared to the Triumph's 825 mm, which may make it more accessible for shorter riders.

The Triumph has a larger fuel tank capacity of 17.4 liters compared to the BMW's 13 liters. This means that the Triumph may offer a longer range before needing to refuel.

In terms of strengths, the Triumph is praised for its lively engine, high-quality standard, quickshifter with blipper, excellent Brembo M50 brake system, ABS and traction control as standard, sporty look, and low weight. On the other hand, the BMW is praised for its great cockpit and functional connectivity, extensive electronics, accessible yet casual handling, wide choice of equipment and configuration options, and comfortable seating position.

In terms of weaknesses, the Triumph is criticized for its somewhat complicated menu navigation, bugged connectivity system, and poorly accessible adjustment screws on the fork. The BMW is criticized for its stiff gearstick, rough engine running, lack of elegance at the top, and poor rear splash guard.

Overall, the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2020 and the BMW F 900 R 2021 have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Triumph may offer a more thrilling and sporty riding experience with its powerful engine and high-quality components.

Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2020

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!

BMW F 900 R 2021

BMW F 900 R 2021

The BMW F 900 R is a full-grown motorbike. 895 cc, 105 hp and 92 Nm smell of versatility. The F 900 R fulfils this promise completely. The motorbike, including electronics and components, does a great job in every situation. But of all things, the heart of the bike, the engine and transmission unit, does not shine in premium gloss.

Great cockpit and functional connectivity

Extensive electronics can be operated logically

Very accessible but still very casual handling

Motorcycle rides bland and reserved but also wild and sporty when needed

Pleasant seating position

Wide choice of equipment and configuration options

Low and high seat options available

Suspension allows wide range of use - comfortable but also direct and precise.

Gearstick a little stiff - with and without quickshifter

Engine runs a little rough and exudes little elegance at the top

Poor splash guard at the rear
