★ 2023 TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE 765 R REVIEW ★

[@BibtheBoulder]

Another no-nonsense review courtesy of your good self. Not a bike I am remotely interested in, but like most motorcyclists I like to keep up to speed with what is available....

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks 👍

[@lateralus9244]

The dash is actually better on the R version even though it's more simplified. It's really nice to have a standard looking digital tachometer that's much easier to read than the weirdo looking duo tachometers that they put on the RS model. I don't understand why Triumph won't listen to the massive wave of feedback from their customers; no one really likes they way they've set up the TFT on the more expensive model.I've loved the R's display ever since I've seen the Trident's 660 iteration of it. It's all one needs!

[@adrianlampard419]

Test rode both back to back last Saturday. Came to the same conclusions as you. So impressed I bought one in the silver ice colour. Can't wai to pick it up in a couple of weeks

[@markpulling12]

Hi Adrian great choice on the R and the silver colour Best wishes mark

l still use a 2014 Street Triple 675 R...light, nimble, handles well and sounds great when you give it a bit wellie... whats not to like.... The Striple just gets better. ...best in its genre

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Brian I had a 500 mile go on an early 675 R ...very good memories of that one :)

[@edxr250r]

Great review of a lovely road bike from Triumph - has to be my favourite all round sporty road bike and they sound absolutely glorious too! The R strikes a very good balance of having virtually all of the performance and functionality of the RS but at reduced cost so very good value for a premium street bike👍👍

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Edward... great comment and yes they sound fantastic 😊 Best wishes mark

[@RadDadisRad]

I bought a RS and it’s a dream. Love the heated hand grips, love the cruise control, love the tpms. It really makes it more user friendly.

[@cliveomahoney4096]

My trust in some of the vloggers I routinely watch has become a bit jaundiced. You, however, always provide opinions and info without thinking about the next corporate freebie. I've given up on vloggers who are too scared to provide an opinion because they might offend someone in marketing. You are free of this stuff. So, thanks for that.

[@markpulling12]

Ahh many thanks for the kind words Clive cheers mark 😊

[@DatOldeBiker]

Thanks Mark. It seems that the "R" has had a few engine tweaks but retains all that was already great about this fast but very rideable middleweight. Being the owner of the 2021 model your review captured brilliantly what I think this machine is all about. Call me a wus but I rarely ride in sports mode as it's all too easy to achieve licence-losing speeds in the blink of an eye. Curiously it's happy enough at 30mph in 6th without any feeling of bogging down or stalling - Truly the ease of a 300 with the performance of a sports bike. Please keep up the good work and I look forward to your next Vlog. :>)

[@markpulling12]

Hi Peter... thanks for the comment...I was lucky enough to have a long ride last week on a 21 R as well and a 20 RS both absolutely superb....near as damn it as good as the latest models ...the R had the standard rev counter which I like Best wishes mark

30 in 6th, amazing. My 790 Duke needs to be in second at 30, hence me looking to change. I bet economy is good too

Fantastic review, phenomenal bike. Everything you need for the road.

[@mrsilbo6499]

Great review of an awesome machine, Mark - I think you enjoyed it! You're right about buying the R for the road & saving £1700 over the RS. But Triumph will soon claw it back from you too as the flyscreen & bellypan are extra, the bar end mirrors are cool & a single seat hump looks the business too!

[@pcarts232]

None of them are really fast but for the Uk roads which are absolute dog shit it’s perfect 👍🏾

[@pcarts232]

I’d definitely advise at least an hour demo before buying this , I bought the speed triple 1200 without testing it and I loved it at first, but now I just find it annoying and irritating to ride because day to day it’s just uncomfortable too fast. It doesn’t like going through traffic. It’s a bit of a waste of a bike in my opinion but I did have a ride on the street triple and I thought it’s perfect for UK roads as a do it all Bike , even though it’s not as powerful it makes up for it because it’s so comfortable to ride and it’s so light . 180 hp is a total waste of a bike but 130 is pretty much perfect 👍🏾

[@davidjohns2123]

Hi Mark Thank you for your road test on the Street Triple R, your reviews are always very informative. I'm thinking about one of these, but still have my Ducati Monster 937. Seeing your review has encouraged me to test one. Best regards David

[@markpulling12]

Thanks David also consider the mt09 that's brilliant too Cheers mark

[@douglasalexander4348]

Had the 2020 R. Needle tachometer, quick shift, slightly less on the wrists, didn’t notice any difference in power, and what I felt was better suspension on not perfect roads. Everyone bangs on about the rs being better, but I found it the other way round. Money wasn’t a factor in my decision. On a track, yes, the rs ohlins will perform better.

[@MrVincinzo]

I just bought this bike...love it...big jump from my r3...

[@markpulling12]

Hi this is one of the best naked middleweights cheers mark

[@MrSupercharger99]

Thanks mark great review. I bought my ninja 650 off the back of your review quite a while ago. I was thinking of an upgrade and your test of triumph came up. I love the ninja because of the riding position is it similar? Only down side to the ninja is the vibration through the bars how does this compare? Cheers

[@markpulling12]

Hi the ninja 650 has clip ons that are quite high this has straight bars which offer a bit more control ...they are both quite comfortable....I prefer the triumph...the triumph is super smooth hardly any vibes at all being a triple Best wishes mark

[@fonziebulldog5786]

Its rather strange when my 2008 second generation Suzuki Hayabusa have a 190 rear tyre and then my much smaller Triump Street Triple R 2010 have a 180 rear tyre. But the SURPRISE power in that Street Triple is beyond words. Nothing you expect when walking past it. 😄

Great review Mark, love one of these as a second bike 👍

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Paul ...id love one too 😁

[@1990-t1j]

I love the engine note of triples. My F3-S is a triple. This seems like a great bike. I like the colour, as well. Why pay more for the RS? The usual first-class review.

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks nik :) 😁

[@tyranid05]

The simple answer is because I wanted it 😂 The Ohlins feels so good. I think any particular feature on its own, perhaps not worth the premium. But all together it just seems to work. And if you find a brand new '22RS like I did on discount, the out the door is a lot closer than you'd think

[@YangCalgary]

Wow, the UK is really pretty (when it’s not raining). I’d love to have this bike but I can’t get over those insect front lights …

Hi Mark, I’m purchasing the Yamaha XSR 900 soon, but as you’ve reviewed both… how do they compare?

[@markpulling12]

Hi Simon...the xsr has the brilliant tracer 9/mt09 engine...loads of power and torque..and looks retro and cool the street triple...is similar performance but a bit more revvy...and lighter handling...they really are both 5 star bikes can't go wrong with either ...I guess just go with what fits you best and the best deal best wishes mark

[@SigmaJAD]

Had a 2021 Street Triple RS. Picked up a new XSR 3 weeks ago. XSR has a better engine and has more character. Tried the new 2023 RS, wasn't feeling it. Suspension might not be so good ( not by much) but brakes are top notch. Best back brake I've used! That blood engine - so good and great midrange. Looks great too, esp in blue. Real head turner.

[@martinbaldam6676]

So if money was no object Mark which wold you buy, Street Triple R or the Triple RS?

[@markpulling12]

For me id go for id go for the R in the silver / grey because I feel it makes the better road bike ... Cheers mark

[@tomg4592]

Great job Mark.

[@sambagogo777]

"LED lights all round" Is that the case? On the Triumph UK website's configurator LED indicators (both normal and "scrolling" iterations) are listed as optional extras for both the R and RS. That would presumably suggest they only come with halogen indicators as standard. Also, that example is fitted with a fly screen and belly pan which are also optional extras.

[@markpulling12]

Hi LEDs are standard on these ...maybe that option is for better blingy ones ? Cheers mark

[@sambagogo777]

@@markpulling12 Nice! That's puzzling then. The optional extra LED indicators feature a cast alloy housing so maybe the standard ones feature a plastic housing.

Hi Steve the belly pan is standard on the R and Rs models of recent years and present model ...but like 10 years ago it wasn't I believe Best wishes mark

[@paulfowler6665]

Always wanted a street triple but end up always buying something else. This time I bought the new hornet and love but wish it looked more like the street. Maybe next year I might upgrade to one of these. Shame the clocks aren't that special but a small detail I'm sure. Great review as always

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Paul ...try and get a test ride and let me know what you think vs your hornet? Best wishes mark

[@patrickrosello9583]

I am trying to decide between the R and RS....and interested in your comment when you say the R makes a better road bike. From a test ride on both i felt the RS was more planted, less wobbly on the back suspensions. Do you prefer the suspension of the R on the UK ( Devon) roads for general commuting.... Anything else I should consider on what makes it a better road bike compared to the RS? Cheers

[@markpulling12]

Hi Patrick I had this conversation with the salesmen at triumph and they all agreed the R is the better value road bike ...I found the suspension to be perfect for the road ...the Rs is nicer in the display and switchgear etc plus higher spec ohlins but for me id get the R its much improved over the older model I think Best wishes mark

I've watched this again as you do a good review Mark.I think you like it a lot. Looks a great bike. I can see you swapping your KTM Duke for it ......... The only deal breaker for me would be if it doesn't have cruise control. Really tempted to get a ride on one and the RS to see whether they are that good and maybe chop my Speed Triple 1050RS in for either. The RS with Ohlins with a proper suspension set up to suit your weight and riding style is awesome which I am having done on my Speed Triple RS atm as it is a bit firm. I go back for final adjustments this coming thursday morning.
