How Moto2 shaped Triumph's Street Triple 765 RS & 765 R | MCN Review

[@MashiroMartinez]

Best review of the new street triple rs so far!

[@MegaKei1]

I watched the Bike World and 44Teeth videos on the same bike and they were great in their own rights, but MCN still does the greatest bike reviews hands down. There are lots of overlaps on information with the other reviewers, of course, but your presentation is really, really good. You, to me, are an absolute legend, Mr. Neeves! I hope there can be a way for me to work under your tutelage and learn from the master. Cheers!

[@beanwithbaconmegarocket]

Agreed. Love the 44T guys but if I need a really good rundown of what to expect in a bike, MCN is the best place to go.

[@oilyrag7429]

I’ve got the 2020 Rs !,This bike is perfect for me on the road and to be honest probably one of the best bikes I have ever owned, If I was a track rider and a good one at that !,i may have considered a trade in, but being a shorter rider, never going to the track and liking to put miles on my bike at weekends, mines a keeper for ever, plus I love my silver ice colour. Nevertheless this new street triple is still a gorgeous bike just not diggin the new colours but that’s down to personal taste, Great review as always !.

[@Dav37D]

I've just bought a 2021 RS and I love it. ❤️

[@Gojo1911]

My RS arrived this week and it just looks great! Can‘t wait to take it home & go for a ride.

[@chriswest2290]

How has it been ?

[@frenchtoast-d7u]

Great review as always. I would really like a RS, if it wasn't for the fact that I bought a new MT-09 last year and the Triumph costs a whopping 35% more here in Denmark.

[@frenchtoast-d7u]

@@CS-pl8fc Couldn’t agree more. I traded in a Z900 for the Yamaha and I’m very fond of the MT’s more upright ergos and I can’t really see myself go back a less spacious bike, so if I had the money I would probably end up buying a MT-10 instead (there a few leftover stock of the old model at that price range).

[@julianhunter9455]

Im a huge street triple fan and love the new one, especially that gorgeous burgundy colour! I pine for one of my own. Neevesy is my favourite moto journalist too. I hang on his every word. Absolute legend in my opinion. Right up there with sir Alan Cathcart. I'd love to shake his hand and talk bikes!

[@tjjr1062]

This might be the best motorcycle review video that I have ever watched. Thanks.

[@brianperry]

What a great review of a bike you're hard put to find anything untoward, the reason being it's the Bike that all others in its genre are measured by.... l own a 2014 675 R. its still immaculate to look at and functions perfectly mechanically. What a great bike the Striple is....

[@beborodner930]

Such a cool looking bike! Sounds amazing!!

[@brucekendall52]

Sounds like a top bike to have in your garage.Thanks.

[@Amerigo73]

The best review so far, thanks! Riding the 1200 RS on tracks, I am waiting for the new Striples - we'll be having a blast.

[@chrisbike77]

Interesting what Neevesy experienced . Very relatable about the difference between RS & R. It begs the question, since the 'S' is gone, is the Trident going to get a 95 horse/ 75Nm version of this engine instead of the lovely but slightly wheezy 80 hp / 64 Nm it has now?

[@IronicIrony.]

It does make sense doesn’t it

[@TRexHeliPilot]

Put the 765R motor in the Trident and you'll have a real winner! Not everyone is interested in repli-racers for street use. The one thing the Moto Journalist would make a new comer to this sport believe is that we all take our bikes on track.

[@davidwales9657]

They should just give the Trident the same 675 engine that the original street triple had, with 106hp. That was a perfect engine

[@karsteng1809]

No, no and no it's not gonna happen. The Trident is positioned where it is, the former 660ccm Street S engine would not make a lot of sense I vote for a Trident 900/960, aim to have 110-125 HP an 90 NM torque, chassis a little bigger then the Trident 660, basically same neo Retro Look and perfected for road use 😁

[@chrisbike77]

@@karsteng1809 didn't mean the 660 S, i meant the for Brit & German market derived 765S ,which @ that time , had a 112 hp engine, they were allowed to de-tune to 48 horse/35kw .

[@giovanniricci2869]

Couldn’t miss this review, thanks!

[@martinbishop5228]

I've got the striple 675r 2012 and it's more than enough for me at my age and I love it. I don't know if I would even would benefit from going up to the 765 .I've had all the superbikes in the past. I'm happy with my lot and I love it.

[@robertdavis4761]

Amazing review from my favorite motorcycle man!! I just put a deposit down on a 2024 Street Triple Moto2 in white and I can’t wait for June!! ❤

[@MadChalet]

Neevsey, you are the elder statesmen of bike reviews 🤘(meant as a compliment - I'm a fair bit older than you, BTW ). I've liked all of the reviews, and reviewers, I've watched, and they all draw the same conclusion (I can't help thinking about the power of a corporate sponsored junket). I've been a Triumph triple (Sprint 955i) owner for the past 8 years, and I've become a bit of a fanboy, I have to admit. But as has been said in these review forums, Triumph has some killer bikes in their lineup. If I had he means I would be happy to own 3 or even 4 of them, and the Street Triple would be one of 'em. Thanks for the solid work! ✌

[@stuleyland9490]

It looks like you're riding a Moto 3 bike. :) If only Triumph could wrap it in a nice looking fairing.

[@MrRoxx17]

[@headboy2011]

Got mine yesterday... what a bike

[@f1hotrod527]

It looks a lot better now. I was not a fan of the looks previously.

[@scottbailey5644]

I bought one in Sep last year, the R. I prefer the analogue tacho. Not had it's first service yet but very tempted to upgrade to new model R or RS. I went straight to Triumph standard at Excel. Fine review sir, as always... Gold Standard. It's the added technical and rider experience details you give which stands out. Thanks again, been waiting all week for your review. PS. If I have one gripe with my R over my previous Duke 790 it's that the pegs are bit higher which make my hips twing a bit. I'm 6ft to. I'll probably get used to that but I'm looking at 1" lower pegs, the only company I can find that does those, non adjustable ones so just a straight down drop in height, is US based company Knight Design LLC. Cheers, best job in the world bloke!

[@ThePurpleSquares1]

Im in the same boat. Bought the R in the summer and now thinking about the RS. Half the time i think its worth the upgrade half the time i think its just FOMO and should stick witht the 2022. I put 2500mi on mine this summer and am in love with how it rides. Not sure it would be enough of a change to make the trade and costs worth it. I wouldnt get the new R though. Hate that digital tach they put on it vs the analog needle on the 2022 R.

[@scottbailey5644]

@@ThePurpleSquares1 Agree re the ride, I really was surprised how plush/compliant the ride was compared to the Duke, if fact everything felt more premium, on another level

[@MadChalet]

@@ThePurpleSquares1 There are several reviewers who've commented on the tach ... wouldn't be great if Triumph gave owners the ability to change the firmware? Better, yet provide different interfaces to choose right off the bat.

[@ThePurpleSquares1]

@@MadChalet it's such a miss that the RS dash is so unreadable still. I'd have expected that with the IMU upgrade they would allow more customization like adjustable wheelie control (or at least a traditional rpm counter). I know the 2022 R dash unit is ancient, but at least I know when to shift 😅

[@davidebbs2797]

Ironic given the Street originally was a naked Daytona. Bring back the Daytona!!! 🙏😁

[@IN_ZANE_]

It's easy enough to make a Daytona with the existing factory setup, but they're not going to do it before seeing how the R9 sales go.

[@Whomecouldntb3]

I wish they would too, but as much as folks say they would like a faired version, no one buys them.

[@CaffeineFreak13]

They have one, its called the moto2, however good luck getting one

[@IN_ZANE_]

@@Whomecouldntb3 I'm surprised there isn't more semi-faired street bikes, almost every naked bike the one main critisism is the lack of wind protection. Imagine bikes like this with a small Tuono style fairing. I think that would be perfect.

Great review. Still an amazing bike but reducing the fuel range with a smaller tank is a mistake in my opinion. Way more buyers are going to only ride this bike on the road not the track.

Six axis IMU seems to be a standard feature in this price range today. Necessary or not, that’s what the competition is touting. Triumph has a very good unit in the Speed Triple but decided to keep their parts bin closed. Revenge of the bean counters?

I love my 2020 765 R. Unfortunately it sounds like all of these changes seem like they're going in the wrong direction (other than power). Crucially, I usually wish 6th gear were taller, definitely not shorter. The one think I think the 2020 model would benefit from is a nice bikini fairing. Maybe now is a good time to pick up a 2022 765 RS at a bit of a discount.

The question is, if you set it to track mode, will it still be in track mode after you start it? Or if it doesn't, can you select track mode while riding? If the answer is no, such as the case as my Speed Triple 1200 RS, then I won't even consider this bike, which is a shame.

These 2023s are the 121 horsepower ones. I know these are being called 2023s too but if if you check dealers computers these 128 RS models hitting the showrooms in the summer of 2023 will be 2024 models.

[@fyorbane]

No , they are 2023 models. Are you in the States. If so then for some reason they always call that years model the next years model, [if you know what I mean] which is daft. For the majority of the rest of the world this is the 23 model. the 22 model is the one with 121 hp.

I just sold my 2018 Street R which I loved, and test rode the new R recently. While the new R is nice and I liked its slightly more upright geometry, it is cheaper in a few ways than my old Street R. The handlebar switch gear is definitely cheaper, that TFT dash is horrendous IMO versus my old color TFT display, and they told me at the dealership that it has a plastic tank now too? The new R definitely felt more taut and compact versus my old generation and I wonder about its stability at speed versus the old Street. Trying the quick shifter for the first time was definitely weird. I just had one question, I know you said the RS is a bit more nose-down/ass high than the R, but overall, is it more upright than the old Street R?
