My Honest Review Of The 2023 TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE 765 RS!

In this video I try and give an honest opinion on the Triumph STREET TRIPLE 765 RS. This is simple an awesome awesome awesome machine (YES I SAID IT 3 TIMES!) I think it’s one of the most stunning looking bikes available on the market particularly in that beautiful COSMIC YELLOW COLOUR. The engine in this thing sings the most beautiful note and has bags of power at its disposal. It loves to work in the mid to high range of the revs. Super flickable and very planted - this bike gives you confidence in the corners and you feel connected with everything that’s going on.
I give it a 10/10 and I would genuinely have one tomorrow. It’s also very comfortable which is nice considering its super sporty characteristics.

I've had mine since February and absolutely love it! I just put an exhaust on it a couple of days ago, and I couldn't be happier with it.

[@glennkrick]

Just a heads up; the factory 2 pc matching fly screen is absolutely beautiful and helps bit with the wind too! I also added cruise.

[@nubbypk]

I've had mine since September. Absolutely love it. My single complaint is that the mirrors are practically useless over 70mph.

[@marksgaragestuff]

Didn’t notice the mirror issue- what’s going on with them ? Vibrating ?

[@nubbypk]

Yes. Starts at about 60 and gets progressively worse. Its a common problem with end mountings.@@marksgaragestuff

[@dernicolas6281]

and the display..

[@RadDadisRad]

I’ve had mine since August. I don’t really have problems with mine even at 100mph. I did tighten the bolts.

I'm considering the the R. I'm 6ft, did you not find the bike cramped?

This bike looks fantastic mate, really like the yellow on black with sporty decals!

[@marksgaragestuff]

Thank you mate 😀

[@yonniboy1]

My 2023 RS is my third consecutive street triple and not only the best ever street triple but as Bike magazine said the best ever Triumph by some distance (and MCNs bike of the year), my single gripe is the TFT, the 2017 TFT was good, the 2020 not so good and the 2023 TFT is terrible but it's a small problem in what is overall a superb bike.

[@marksgaragestuff]

I really did love this bike - I think I would like to take it out again on some dry tarmac... the engine note was just so so so sweet... very nice bit of kit indeed... personally I thought the TFT was cool - But can understand it's not necceseriily the biggest on the market at the moment

[@alexdb77]

Test road this machine 6 month ago and I felt pretty much the same. Appart from the dash.. second your thoughts and I am 5.7. So considerably shorter , yet felt 100% at home. I love my Thruxthon R, but I am almost trading for this one.... auchhhh. Great Review! Loved it. Cheers

[@technohamster4783]

I was looking for something new and didnt think about coming down in engine size till i saw reviews of this, went and got a test ride in july and instantly ordered one, i could have had it in oct/ nov but opted to hold on and now its just a few weeks away and i cant wait.

'Begs you to ride it', so true, tested one in June. Now if I can get someone to but my 2023 Monster.

[@Yesios]

Got mine in July, broke it in in one week and have it at 5.4k km at the moment. It‘s my first bike and after riding a 675 R to Croatia and back from Austria I do not feel overwhelmed in any situation on the 765 rs. I‘m very happy with the bike overall and can‘t wait for spring to take it for some longer rides. I‘m 6 foot 4 btw and feel comfortable on it.

[@hstefan]

Looks amazing in that yellow! I had a 2020 RS and absolutely loved the bike my only gripe was the LCD, not necessarily the quality but the garbage themes it had. I just wish Triumph offered an option for 2017 dash graphics... Oh well, maybe on the next model.

Looks like a nice balanced bike all around. As someone who is still on their first bike, a Kawasaki KLR 650 with a 35 inch seat height and I stand at 5'9. When I do eventually get a naked bike it will be effortless. I like to think of it like when ball players swing the weighted bats around before stepping to the plate, I started heavy and tall so everything else will feel like child's play afterwards lol.

[@marksgaragestuff]

How are you getting on with the 650?

[@zachz699]

@@marksgaragestuff Its great man, very versatile. Just wish it were a little faster sometimes ha

[@davidmallia628]

Weight, and size wise, you will feel confident on a naked, but don't forget the throttle response of a more powerful bike. You have to be conservative with the throttle, at first, so as not to be caught off guard, with considerably more power.

[@PleatherJacket]

I got a 2024 st rs and can confirm it’s one helluva piece of British engineering. Amazing bike.

[@raimee81]

Gosh I want one. I test rode this but for budgetery reasons and a hell of a deal that I found I bought the 2018 model the next day. What a bike. I still want the new one though. It's noticeably better.

[@marksgaragestuff]

I love every single bike I've ridden ... the nice thing is that they are all so different so it gives us tons of choice :-) hope your enjoying your 2 wheels man

[@maxforster9892]

Great videos would love to see more of the speedo but understand why not ! The instant acceleration is addictive to watch let alone what it must feel like to be on the saddle ! Haven’t ridden since 2017 and can’t wait to get back on 2 wheels in 2024 I’ll be going for a 765 RS hopefully a 2020 if budget allows.

[@MrPlod999]

I’ve had one since Jan ‘21 and it still is quite simply the best bike I’ve had. Still smooth and still has the same power characteristics. One big grin! And I have had 3, yes, 3 new front wheels because they seem to be prone when hitting potholes to bend the rim edges over. Not so tough. I’m guessing it’s to keep weight down. Bummer. Still the best though.

[@sweet-triple-UK]

Enjoyed this video mate, I had a test ride of this a few months ago too and what a superb bike! Really one of a kind. I just can't believe how much they have refined this platform since my one (2016 675) Way to get you to upgrade! Cheers for the video Mark!

[@marksgaragestuff]

Thanks for tuning in dude - yeah it’s one hell of a bike… really want to give it a good try on a dry day… felt like it would be a beast through the corners

[@benvanbaak]

Yellow 😍 Mine is on the way expect it in a couple of weeks. Already have some bits from Evotech-Performance ready for the bike and also added the flyscreen combo and the bobbins.

[@steveearnshaw720]

I had to have the Cosmic yellow too. After a months ownership, my only 2 gripes are having to pull the clutch in to start it and having to go find my glasses to read the milage. Hopefully i can bypass that clutch thing like i did on my previous bike.

[@marksgaragestuff]

That’s colour is amazing - the whole bike was incredible to be fair…. How are you getting on with it? Will you ride it much in the winter?

[@steveearnshaw720]

Im lovin it but haven't had much time to ride it. Only managed 160k in 4 weeks :-(. Smooth, reminds me of a mates Suzuki GT380. Yeah, im that old, and no, i don't ride in the wet any more. Did enough of that in my younger days :-)@@marksgaragestuff

[@jeffwertz2953]

Don't know if you tried it, but do NOT bypass the clutch switch. The quick shifter uses it to know if you're using the clutch. So if you short it, then the QS will not work.

[@johnterry804]

I have the 675 2013 model, from new. Put many miles, like 80 or 90k, before I retired, it was my commuter. The exhaust on this & mine is like music to my ears. I liked & subscribed. I own four Triumph-triples, Bay Area, SF CA. Two 2000 Legend & Sport Triple, red & creamsicle, respectively, both 900 cc. Bought one from a friend & sport from a neighbor. Other is my 800 Tiger, road version, from new 2014.

[@impyr3x293]

Can't decide between this one and a supersport honda cbr600rr, how hard can u tuck this bike on the highway? and whats the most toleratable speed on the highway u can go with? Im pretty sporty myself and I got a Agv K6s helmet, thx for the highway impressions, haven't seen some so far!

[@garyduxbury8312]

Great review you need to test bikes in South Africa , no one even wakes up if there are any clouds around 😅

[@glennkrick]

I like mine but hate the display as there is no usable tachometer in any of the display settings! The gearing is a bit too deep. On the "23" models the gearing was 16T 46t on this one they went to 15t 48t that's a huge change. I think they should' have left the rear sprocket at 46t.

[@adr2567]

Here in India it’s quite expensive (high taxes and lower salaries), so I was saving up for a used street triple R silver colour from the last gen, but with the new colour scheme damn I wish I could afford to get a yellow one!

[@twistandgo3414]

Yup, 2k miles in on my Cosmic Yellow now with a full exhaust and custom tune and it's just brilliant. Released that slightly more angry edge in the power delivery so really flies now. Ive decided its Triumphs comfy version of a GSXR 750, which is praise indeed. It will commute, Tour and more than hold its own on a track day. I think what it has is usability, soul and character. The engagement of physically riding the bike and how it makes you feel while doing it, is bang on the money.

[@marksgaragestuff]

Dude how you finding it ? I loved it when I tried it… road dried out a bit in the day and put it through some corners… it handles superbly - brilliant bike… and it looks so so so good 😊

[@twistandgo3414]

@@marksgaragestuff it's brilliant. 2 x track days in now aswell. Now it's tuned it's a fair bit better again, just more responsive and a touch angrier and more urgent off the throttle. It's up around 16bhp over Standard at the rear wheel, I love it. I've had a lot of bikes over the years and this is probably the best overall package for performance, comfort, usability etc that I've had.

[@arnoldjrimmer6527]

Other naked options around the 12-13K mark are: MT-09 SP Duke R (or new Duke 990) All great bikes. And if you are looking for something left field the XSR 900 (GP will be around 13k) is worth a look.

[@marksgaragestuff]

Yep there’s plenty to choose from in the segment. I think this is one of best looking though, I truly love the design of it. What do you ride mate?

[@rogerpriestwell6379]

​@@marksgaragestuffwow, and I was going to say it's the worst looking. i always had the opinion that if Triumph made better looking bikes, they will sell a whole lot more.

[@steveearnshaw720]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. Personally, i think the Triumph is better looking than both that you mentioned.@@rogerpriestwell6379

[@arnoldjrimmer6527]

@marksgaragestuff I have the MT 09. But my budget was 10k. A little less aggressive riding position than the street triples, which suits me. Agreed that there should always be garage appeal, I love the ultra modern looks of the new Duke 990 and MTs.

[@inked-96]

MT09 SP is ugly, doesn't ride, and doesn't ride as well as the RS. A little soft. 890R now 990. You'd be stupid to get one. Had one mess than 3 weeks and had no end of trouble with it. Like all KTM's, ticking time bomb. XSR900, again, suspension is pretty basic, not great for UK roads.

[@Maverick-moto]

I test rode one back in October and walked away at the end BECAUSE of the vibes. The bike seems to have a Jekyll and Hyde character to its engine… Below around 6000rpm it really is quite smooth and refined. Above that, it starts to buzz through your every contact point with the bike.. footrests, tank, bars and seat. It’s certainly not a bike I could live with. In almost every other respect, it’s as good as anything I’ve ridden in 40 plus years of riding. Be sure to test ride one before you consider buying.
