★ 2023 TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE 765 RS REVIEW ★

[@JimmySlacksack]

puzzled by some comments saying its ugly! it looks absolutely gorgeous to me, but one mans meat..

[@markpulling12]

definitely agree ...looks great to me ...best middle weight naked ?..i think so best wishes mark

[@garyburton6833]

Hi mark, first off i would like to say it was great to see you and chat with you on sunday as i was a marshall on the DGR and when you told me that you were bringing a review on the street triple 765RS i was so eager to see your video. Well you did not dissapoint as your reactions were fantastic and when you clocked the tunnel and opened the taps through it made me laugh. What an awesome machine and a great soundtrack to boot. Great review mark and i look forward to the review of the 765R model. Cheers from Gary.

[@markpulling12]

Hi Gary yes nice to meet you too....I must do the dgr next year looked great 👍 Yes awesome 765 ..r model coming soon and hopefully lots more triumphs Best wishes mark

[@joshbryant7363]

Bro, you go through bikes better than so many “reviewers”… do more.

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks I appreciate that 😊

[@patrickrosello9583]

Finally ended up buying an RS and I am so impressed! It is absolutely comfortable, smooth, precise, agile, super easy to ride, wow! Definitely not as punchy as the CP3 but similarly very exciting in a different way ! thank you for your great review that really helped me in my decision.

[@markpulling12]

Great choice Patrick...I've got a 20 reg rs 765 ... utterly brilliant Cheers mark

[@hakankillberg6043]

Thanks for this great video. I testride this bike two weeks ago and its awesome. It tip in so easy and is so fun to ride. Sadly its so expensive here in Sweden. The R is also a nice bike but dull colours.

[@Kodreanu23]

Couldn't agree more. If I were to buy one I would go for RS just because of colors. I get that Triumph wanted visual separation between two models but common, R is too dull.

[@AW8UK]

Thanks...I like that you mention low speed fueling & town riding manners in your reviews 👍

[@sambagogo777]

Stunning bike in a stunning colour! Quite a few optional extras on that example. All of the protection accessories, premium front and rear brake reservoirs, tank pad and non-standard bar end mirrors.

[@alexmorgan3435]

It's a beautiful bike Mark. Love the golden yellow and black. Looks like a bee. And it's a got a key!!!!! Whoooohoooo!! No bloody awful keyless ignition, but it doesn't have cruise control ................ unless it is an option. I hope it is. I could chop my Speed Triple 1050RS in for this if it rides as well as you say, no reason why it shouldn't. The sounds is addictive. The 2018 Street Triple RS I rode was pretty flat below about 9k revs but above this it flew which meant you were either riding around in 2nd or third gear the whole time to get it to go or if in 4th, 5th or 6th riding at license losing speeds. The engine didn't have much low down torque hence my 1050RS which does, lots of it. It looks like it's got black anodised brake fluid reservoirs as well. Do you know if these are std or part of Triumph's aftermarket option? Don't like the plastic ones even the dark plastic reservoirs that most manufacturers spec bikes with. Looks like it could be very popular. Shall look forward to your R review, although I would probably go for this. Thanks for your review.

[@markpulling12]

Hi Alex yes the 17-20 plates were quite peaky ...since 20 plate onwards and especially this year the mid range is vastly improved Yes the master cylinder is standard on these ... fantastic fun ... obviously not the grunt of your 1050 but it's definitely the best bike I've ridden as an all round package for a long time Best wishes mark

[@markpulling12]

Definitely yes this is the best middleweight naked by far imo Best wishes mark

[@aluisious]

Mark, the world needs more Suzuki reviews. In my experience they're not on the razor edge of leading tech, but they have a balance between the components and set up that's deserves appreciation, and I don't hear a lot of problems from the owners. These days people are forgetting Suzuki. My next bike will probably be a Suzuki or a Kawasaki. I'd buy a Yamaha if they ever decided to sell a middleweight bike that didn't jerk on/off throttle and had properly balanced and damped suspension (looking at you, MT07/09).

Good work. I’d be interested to hear your opinion in comparison with the BMW S1000R 20 plate, I love my riding position ( rear set ), one of the main features I like, but how do think it compares performance and handling wise??

[@markpulling12]

Hi id say the street triple is a lot more nimble...but the handling of the s1000 is awesome 👍 Performance wise the s1000 will pull away in the straights easily but in the corners I'd say equal Best wishes mark

Hi Patrick I've ridden both alot and tbh there isn't much in it ...they both have immaculate low speed fueling Best regards mark

[@Tear-The-Veil]

I have the '24 765 R White model. The video won't do justice to the sound though it is awesome and not in any need to blow an additional grand on replacing the entire exhaust as a couple channels here in the states have done. Motodynamic has a taillight with the integrated signaling for anyone who has one of these ready to rid yourself of the horrible extension which holds the plate.

Hi Mark, great review of the bike. How would you compare it to the new generation of xsr 900. Also, if you would choose between the two, which and why?

[@trevorphillips3055]

I've had my yellow RS since the end of April, got just over 500 miles on it so far and love it. My only real gripe is that some text on the tft is too small and difficult to read if you wear reading glasses. I can't see why they had to have the font size so small as there's plenty of space on the display. I thought you'd of gone to Destination Dorset Mark as that seems to be your normal stomping ground. 😊

[@gryphongryph]

Great bike, unfortunately terrible display and I am one that dislike bikes with bug eyes.

[@markpulling12]

Hi Trevor...I know the manager at solent...easier for me to review their bikes cheers mark

[@DatOldeBiker]

Thank you Mark. What a gorgeous bike in every way. I enjoyed watching and listening to you on some roads I know quite well. My 2021 "R" finds it a little bumpy maybe need to soften the suspension? The bike looks and rides so similar to mine although (obviously) rather more in every aspect. I can't justify the "upgrade" yet perhaps a quick re-spray with Cosmic Yellow? lol. :>)

[@patrickrosello9583]

Thanks for a great insight into the RS ! I am tempted to trade the much loved TRACER 9 GT for one of these...as i dont really do more than short commutes. Obviously it is all comfort and protection versus nimbleness and agility so I test next week and should know better. Just worried about the more forward leaning riding position. Would you say it is still a comfortable position?

[@markpulling12]

Hi Patrick I sold my tracer 9 GT for exactly the same reason! The position is slightly leaning forward but still very comfortable and roomy ... highly recommend this bike next regards mark

[@patrickrosello9583]

Thank you Mark, I really value your opinion and am grateful for your replies. Can't wait to test the bike!

Is it better handling on road than the Speed Triple? And which one is better for a tall rider 189cm?

[@aluisious]

@@markpulling12 Great reliability eh? Has Triumph figured out how to make a working regulator rectifier yet? My Street Triple R also had improperly assembled suspension and the head gasket started leaking oil at 2000 miles.

[@kirvelissariou]

How would you compare it to Ducati Monster?

[@markpulling12]

Similar handling...but very different engines the monster is low revving and grunty ...the Rs is smooth and revvy cheers mark

[@yonniboy1]

The cosmic yellow and fiesta red bikes cost another 200 pounds. as for the R being better on the road than the RS, definitely not, I road tested the R and RS back to back and the Ohlins rear shock gives the RS a plusher ride, you wouldn't notice the difference between the M34 and Stylema Brembos but the RS is a sharper handler but still planted which is why I opted for the RS which is a big step up from the previous model I owned.

[@MrEunuch]

Need to hear replies like this. I still have my '11 675R and would love to change but was worried the this would be like the original 765RS that I tried which was bloody awful for road riding as a supersport. If the RS is that good as a road bike I could well finally be tempted again after 11 years.

[@markpulling12]

Yes I'm reviewing the R very soon...but the Rs was so plush in it's suspension I can't really see the R being better apart from cheaper Cheers mark

[@MrEunuch]

@@markpulling12 thanks Mark. Your comments in the RS review already pushed me towards that conclusion and seeing @yonniboy1 comments too have sealed an RS test ride on the basis if we put £ and 1cm height aside we'd probably all all be happier with the RS over the R for road riding. I bought my 2011 STR off Solent Destination when they were in Fareham and based on your RS review will be going back to them again. Appreciate all the effort that goes into the reviews - much appreciated.

[@Gmac237]

Hi Mark, thanks for the review on a stunning looking bike. I'm looking at either the Yamaha XSR 900 or the Street Triple 765R In Australia they are both priced at $18,050 ride away. Unfortunaetly budget does'nt afford the extra cost of the 765 RS ! You've been lucky enough to ride both the Yamaha Triple and now the Triumph and would be interested in your thoughts. One last question, I could not tell if the Triumph RS had cruise control fitted ? Cheers Glen

[@markpulling12]

Hi glen ...no cruise on the triumph Yes the xsr is a brilliant bike but the triumph just wins for me ...the engine is just stunning exciting and flexible coupled with the handling for me it just wins over the xsr Best wishes mark

[@terryomara9403]

Did i hear 4teeth review saying it cant hold a touch to 890 mt09 but still a fantastic bike 👍

[@photographerjonathan]

I love everything about the bike except the lack of wind protection. I think people love naked bikes for the ergonomics not because they want to be hammered by the wind at anything above 65 mph. and the RS is full capable of cruising at 110mph. but who would want to do it for more than a minute at a time. I think what 90% of people really want is a sport bike with Naked bike ergonomics. like sport bikes were before they decided to sell track bikes for the street. companies can still make the extreme track bikes. but why not make sport bikes with comfortable ergonomics and seats. including the passenger seat. why do we have to buy Naked bikes to get the comfortable ergonomics. or totally watered down sport bikes. why can't we have bikes like this RS with a full fairing.

Hi the R is the better value....it's amazing to ride ..unless you are planning lots of track days..id go for the R best wishes mark

[@michaelarchangel1163]

Mark, I wonder if Triumph have or intend to make the suspension of the Speed Triple a little less harsh, as most who've ridden one suggest that it's not too great for lighter riders, even with backing off the preload. I suppose it is easier to set up a lighter bike like the Street Triple with OE spring and damping rates that can be tweaked for heavier people. I'm only 9 stone undressed and bone hard rides are a killer for me.

[@markpulling12]

That's interesting re the speed triple suspension....I'll have to look into that Cheers Michael

[@aluisious]

I had a Street Triple R that could either be set to rock hard or wallowly, like riding on the roof of a 1960s Cadillac with blown shocks. There were clicks in between but they didn't seem to really do anything. I took it to a professional suspension tuner and after poking at it for a while, he set it to rock hard. Literally had to worry about not opening my mouth on the highway or I might have bit my tongue off. Worst bike I ever owned, by far. Oh and I was 170 lbs dressed. Not exactly heavy, I was smack in the middle of average male weight.

[@michaelarchangel1163]

@@aluisious It was much the same with my SV thou but Maxton resprung an all but new {£30 off eBay} standard shock for my weight for £90. and I also got a jackup kit to help with turn in. I have to confess that I baulked at paying up to £600 for a fancy shock.
