2023 Triumph Street Triple 765 RS Review - First Ride

[@theflyingcockney]

Nice jacket Andy, could you please let me know what it is?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It's my Segura Nacho (Can't believe how many people have asked me about this!!) www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/477495/#/23636,0,0

@@TheMissendenFlyer Nacho? Does it come with a chip or two? If so, presumably for the shoulders.

Problem with sports bike shop is, there is never any stock left. Segura jacket in that blue is not available.

[@PadmaDorjee]

​@@TheMissendenFlyerFunny, I was going to ask you too 😂

[@Sinshiro917]

I was supposed to take delivery of a T120 Bonneville this spring, but I then made the "mistake" of having a go on the dealer's Street Triple RS demo bike... So a few days later I had to sit down for a chat with the sales representative about a slight alteration to that contract.

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

As a side note, if you do commit to include the Street to your garage, there is an anodized brake reservoir as an optional extra for not so much money. Yes, I agree it should be there as standard, as should a radiator cover.

[@returnedtotheearth1326]

Had the yellow for 3 months now. Get the suspension dialled in for your weight and set it right and it’s plush yet firm. Absolutely perfect and doesn’t get out of shape like my old R. I had the 2018 R previously which has the same suspension and brakes as the new R and its a nice step up I think. My 3rd Street Triple and the best. Yes TFT is same as Tiger but smaller and is the weak point with the bike but it’s a minor disappointment and I owned a Tiger so knew what I was getting 😂 And if all else fails I can just stare at it because in the yellow it looks great to my eyes.

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

What’s your weight mate? I think the spring rate could make the difference.

[@returnedtotheearth1326]

@@stephenspiteri_zunkus I’m 13 stone so I guess closer to 14 stone in full gear. The spring rate is 95N/mm so that’s ideally 12 - 15 stone. I had to add a little preload to get the sag right.

[@Cartsp70]

It makes me laugh when people moan about the suspension and the screen . 1 who stares at the screen for hours on end 2 Set the suspension for your weight and 3 the price difference (RS to R ) is negligible, I had a ride on the Street Triple it’s amazing 🤩 9/10 it would be 10/10 but I felt it a little bit cramped

[@philiplindley7384]

It's a strange thing seeing these modern, up-to-date machines, which I know I would have loved in younger times but as an oldie, now, mostly liking all the retro bikes.

[@brianperry]

Know the feeling when looking at the bikes on offer... my brain, that still operates as if I'm 18 where biking is concerned desires the latest Striple RS...however my 1946 body says otherwise... l guess, like you l will eventually head down the 'classic bike' route.... then a walking frame with ''Gofast Stripes''....

[@JohnPalmer-qw3nz]

I went for the RS for colour choices, brakes, suspension and it just feels more premium. Stock suspension is a bit firm for our bumpy B roads which I normally ride but I changed it to the Triumph comfort settings and now it is plush and just perfect for these roads. I would have liked a better Tachometer but it doesn't distract from it being an absolutely amazing bike!

[@PRG888]

did you manually adjust the suspension? Did you get Triumph to do it for you?

[@JohnPalmer-qw3nz]

@@PRG888 I did it myself. The instructions and settings are in the owners handbook

[@Kodreanu23]

so, the suspension on the RS can be toned down to be just plush for the bad roads? That is very good to hear! Thank you for sharing! I like the yellow one the most, but this "harsher" suspension from RS got me concerned.

[@JohnPalmer-qw3nz]

@@Kodreanu23 I would suggest you ask your dealer to adjust the suspension on their demo bike to the comfort settings so you can see what it is like for yourself as it is very subjective

[@colindeans5972]

Triumph made this bike lighter than the previous. This was imaginatively done by making the fuel tank smaller, genius!! Either way its a cracker and a great colour too. "I've run out of bottle", the words of an honest man. Thanks again TMF.

[@BikerTorque]

Love the Street Triple RS, hell of a bike. Looking forward to the comparison

I think I'm gonna have to go with the RS just because of the CC option. I just love the color on this one, thanks!

Bought one last year in Cosmic yellow, fitted tail tidy, taken the reflectors of the front shockers lol. Stunning colour, fast agile and fun. I’m 5ft 6 so had to buy the lower seat which helps quite a bit. Defo recommend it. Premium bike at an affordable price. Great video as usual. 😊

The difference between the R and the Rs is not only the breaks and suspension. it is also that beautiful yellow paint job. and the red is really sweet also. I wish those colors came on the R. it would be hard not to want to want to pay the extra money for the RS just for the HP and suspension, but the paint job just solidifies it. but I wonder if you could adjust the RS suspension to be as nice on the road as the R. love that stock sound.

Awesome videos. I have a 2016 R (72000 km and counting) and bought and sold a 2018 RS as I felt the R was a better road bike. The 2018 RS also had a pronounced powerband favouring higher RPM's and I liked the R's linear powerband. I am leaning towards the R version, but I kinda wish it had more colours and cruise control. You are definitely helping me decide.

[@christopherhorton5449]

Nice to see videos of the R and RS back to back. The engines sound great. Its a pity Triumph spoiled the Tiger with the "T-plane" crank. I would have had one otherwise.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes agreed....

[@ponytrishpip]

I have owned a Tiger 800, 1200 and now own a 900. The 900 is by far the best engine for any kind of off-road work and still is nice to tour with

[@karlosh9286]

I completely agree the T plane crank is a major mistake. I tried one when they came out , I think about three years ago. It just felt "rough" and "lumpy". Unlike 120 degree "classic" triples. I could have been vaguely interested in a Tiger 900 , if it had a 120 degree crank and 17 inch front wheel . As it is I'm more interested in a Yamaha Tracer 9 GT , for a 2 up tourer type bike. If Triumph really wanted to make a twin adventure bike, why not just make a twin ? I guess a bit less effort to just make a silly T plane crank, and matching cam shaft , and keep the existing way of casting of the block. The T plane crank to me is a gimmick.

[@alexmorgan3435]

I owned a 2015 800 tiger xrx for 5 years, great bike..... Since owned the 900 tiger pro for the last 2 years. I find the 900 better in every respect, from the sound and handling to the character. Feels like a real bike, as opposed to the 800, which was more like a 4 cylinder with the associated high speed vibes through the bars....

[@spetersonmusic]

You ask one question at the end, "Why would you choose a Speed Triple over a Street Triple?" and the answer to that now is when I bought my 2019 Speed Triple RS (after selling my 2013 Street Triple R is - Torque. Still intoxicating, will always be intoxicating. I love it.

I had a 1999 speed triple and loved it, rode the 2008, it was great. Now I’m getting the new street triple because it’s like a Daytona 675r that rides like down sized speed triple. The price is great. If I had the money I would consider the speed triple. It’s a big jump in price

I have the 2019 RS in Matte Black and its amazing, the suspension as mentioned below has to be tuned for you then the bike is perfect for almost anything except here in the New England region where we have less then great roads at times. Was down picking up a 900 Rally Pro and saw the new colors and fell in love again its a perfect bike to put a grin on your face. And that is what its all about.

I ride up there a lot (including yesterday!)

[@BaxterTheBiker]

Just watched both Street Triple reviews. I agree entirely with you on the Popeye headlights look. Have you ever evaluated a Double Tronics module? Its supposed to solve the issue by giving the high beam a little power when the low is on. It might be a gimmick, but maybe it works.

[@Matt92766]

Remember my 2017 RX in gloss black.... absolutely adored it, have a speed triple in diablo red with arrow exhausts on (no baffles) no way near as comfy as the street but the noise is just insane 😂

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

I'd love your opinion on this compared to a BMW S 1000 R? I had one of them when they came out here in Australia in 2014 and absolutely LOVED that thing. I loved the power, the handling and the ride in general. I did find it could be a very harsh ride on roads that were a pretty old and patched many times but, mostly it was great. I wound up having a very bad accident thanks to a dill launching his 4X4 wagon out into me at 100 kph which has had me too wrecked for too long but now, starting to really want another one but, this is a fair bit cheaper, I'm getting on at near 70 and may not even be able to do the sort of miles I was clocking up before. I know I loved that BMW but maybe this could do the job and be just as exciting? I SHOULD probably be looking at a big tourer but, I have always hated great overfat things with big but sluggish engines, I DO love light, high performance and great handling machines. I also have a completely stuffed left knee so that weight issue comes in to that too. I am really liking the way this seems to go, despite the hp and torque difference of the BMW having 165 hp and 114 NM of torque compared to this's 121 hp and 79 MN torque which suggest it's probably going to pull pretty darned good at revs but needs those revs to go much more than the BMW. I haven't ridden one of these either so a comparative ride description would be really appreciated, especially considering age and many many injuries suffered over many years of riding and racing. Thanks in advance. EDIT: You quoted 128 HP. Mine figures are from the AU dealership and maybe they're slightly different emissions or state of tune. Odd that they'd differ though. As for riding modes, stuff them. On my S 1000 R I put it in dynamic pro, turned off traction control and anti lock on the rear and kept it like that, rain hail or shine. When new, first rain I tried their silly rain mode and it was so doughy it was difficult to ride in some ways. It's called THROTTLE CONTROL BMW!! Just tell people to ADAPT to conditions!

As expected, the 765rs looks and sounds as good as we thought it would, and that particular colour nails it.

Hopfully get to see the direct comparison video.

Test rode the rs and r back to back rs is way to track focused r feels much nicer on the road still fully adjustable suspension. I bought the r version with saved money stuck some extras on it 👍🏻

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

Very nice Andy and love the colour also, personally i'd go for the R model. I'm not usually into nakeds but this street triple is making me think thrice 😁

[@sanxi34]

One thing to correct; the R has separate function Showa BigPistonFork with preload on the left leg and compression and rebound on the right. The RS has upgraded combined function Showa, also BigPistonFork but with adjustments for preload, compression, and rebound on both legs. The RS front fork has more flexibility in adjustment and compliance across road and specially track riding =)

[@MichaelDisney]

@@gavinmurrell3415 Thanks. The ads at the time stated that 80% of the parts on the bike were UK made. That's what compelled me to get one at that time, then another 2 years later. Now the union flag has been incorporated into the brand logo. Personally, this type of marketing insults the brand heritage, but it seems to work for most. The original (JIT/TQM) factory tour I went on is now some visitor "experience". I don't understand why they still cost so much when Thailand wages are so much lower... .

Like you Andy I rode the R and RS back to back but unlike you I found the ride on the RS more plush (maybe a previous tester messed about with the suspension settings),I do agree with you about the Rs TFT being preferable though I must confess what made me opt for the RS was the colour, I went for the cosmic yellow, Triumph have definitely raised the bar once again. incidentally the cosmic yellow and carnival red are an extra 200 quid but IMO well worth it.

[@trevorphillips3055]

I rode both back to back as well starting with the r. I agree the rs is plusher. I couldn't notice the extra 10 bhp either, you'd have to be reving it high to notice that which I didn't do on the test rides as both bikes only had around 30 miles on them. For me it was the colour /nicer spec and the fact it's my first ever brand new bike that made me opt for the rs.

Great review Andy, i totally agree re your comment about the standard version being better suited to the road, sometimes, less is definitely more. Love the colour, but don`t like those style parts at the bottom of the tank that point forward, too much style influence from other manufacturers.

[@RichDunn]

Love my beautiful cosmic yellow RS, the best bike Triumph has made in years IMHO. A couple of clicks less compression and more rebound front and rear make a massive difference to on-road ride quality. The standard R is good, but the RS is just the ultimate middleweight mousetrap at present.

[@booshting3520]

So tempted to upgrade my 2021 Striple.

[@pricklypunter]

I think, if I had to choose between the 2 of them, I would have the R version. As much as the braking is sharp and the rear end under control, it's just too sporty for me pottering around the way I do. I'm still not sold on the look of either of them. I know what running out of bottle feels like, I had the exact same thought as I watched the needle slip past 230 on my Bluebell one late summer night last year, I couldn't stop farting for an hour after it 😁

[@ironhorsehero1988]

I have the 2021 version, fantastic fun bike, permanent smile on my face when riding it, going to swap the tyres for super sport tyres rather than the track focused ones that come as standard (40% grip in the wet), I think for the money Triumph should come up with something nearer to BMW’s instrument panel, acceleration is addictive, suspension factory settings great if you weigh 9st and riding on a race track.

[@brianperry]

Great review as always Andy...l did watch the R review...Couple of observations. With the best suspension in the world its still set as a compromise isn't it. l have the suspension set up for Er' spirited riding... but its only relevant for good surface roads... move onto a more agricultural road and it becomes painful.... Coping with UK's bumpy, pot holed roads demands respect...Secondly my Striple was initialy fitted with Pirelli Corsa's. Here in Spain they stuck to the hot roads like they were glued, unfortunately they soon wore out, so now l use Pirelli Rosso Mk 3, which again is a compromise, in cost and possible grip, albeit a small one... The Triumph Street Triple 'IS' the benchmark of the genre, always has been.... l still ride my 2014 version, it's immaculate to look at and rides beautifully... If my pension would run to the latest RS l would do it...

A well balanced review Andy. Excellent. Your comments about the difference in ride quality between the R and RS are pretty much evident in your early onboard shots, simply by watching the ‘shake’ of your helmet cam. I think it would have to be the relative plushness of the R for me, with my slightly dodgy back

[@grotesqo8570]

It's got fully adjustsble suspension, including fork preload. You can dial it in to any characteristics you want, and get it set just right for your weight. It's quite firm setup from factory, but you can get it very plush and comfortable, while still being sharp.

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

I do wish that Triumph gives out more info about the spring rates of these bikes. If they’re the same then the holing could emulate the R shock no problem.

[@grotesqo8570]

@@stephenspiteri_zunkus I agree, that would be nice. There's charts for different suspension settings in the owners manual, but not much info (i think..?) on rider weights and spring adjustment settings, rear sag etc. You'll have to find that for yourself, but not knowing where to start it's a bit of trial and error. But worth it!

@@grotesqo8570 You can tweak compression and rebound damping I agree, but changing preload on the front or rear doesn’t affect the spring rate (as Stephen alludes to)

Another great video Andy, I love the yellow colour

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You and me both!

[@aps-pictures9335]

What a great looking bike, especially in that colour - makes those ridiculous bug eye headlights look purposeful 😂. Sounds great too, I must never test ride!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Good plan!

[@martinbaldam6676]

I have the exact same bike, I got the suspension set up for me for £50, makes a great bike ride and handle even better, what a bike these are...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Totally agree! Great machines….

[@oliw3664]

The red one is mint looking too.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Agreed....

[@stevebarnhurst]

Great video as always even if the auto captions introduced you at the start as ‘Mr Floor’…..😂🤦‍♂😂

[@MsDenver2]

If only I was younger 😊😊

[@peterbell5556]

Really love that yellow color.

[@xorbe2]

Got the US'24 765 Moto2 (dayglo racing yellow) ... intake noise doesn't bark like my '18 765 RS did. But the power under 8K is a lot better, the original RS was high strung w/hot cams. 765 is an easy bike to get along with. But when I climb back onto my Speed Triple 1200 RS ... hot dog there is no comparison, the 1200 is a gd beast. Just the frame gets stupid hot if stuck in traffic, and it goes too fast all the time. 765 is good fun, less serious. I kinda prefer the steering stability of the 1200 over the super nimbleness of the 765. I also have a Ducati twin (Monster 937 SP) it's just a totally different engine style, hard to compare.

[@ukvamp]

Suspension is adjustable, surely you could just adjust the suspension to be less harsh?

[@bruceleejeetkunedouk]

Excellent review Andy. Keep up the great work! I know you've got a Kawasaki Z900RS SE, but if you didn't, and had a choice between the Kawasaki Z900RS SE and this Triumph Street Triple 765RS, which one would you go for?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well I did have that choice of course (I could have bought the street triple instead)…so I have to answer the Kawasaki….dont forget I owned a street triple for 10 years so have them out of my system for now (great bikes though)….

[@AOL0321]

I just noticed they did not match the front fender color to the tank and paint it yellow/gold?

[@backontwowheels9469]

The problem is they all look good, if I could i would add one to the garage, along with a dual sport and possibly a HD of some description. Not enough days to ride them all, then it is how do you choose between them 🤔 Sticking with the speedmaster and waiting to see what the off-road small capacity bike will look like when they bring it out 😉

[@Pablocajiga3093]

Hi from New Jersey. Yet another great video. Would you be able to do a review on a Honda Transalp 750 being that it will probably not arrive to the States until, say, September/October. Cheers.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yep - I have one coming in a few weeks....

[@davelawrence594]

Another great review of an awesome news bike TMF love the colour but it actually comes across in the video as orange not that it's a problem as it looks the nuts!! But again why so much black they are not all body coloured ie the front mudguard the bits on the side of the radiator part of the rear part of the panels & again no coloured wheels such a shame yet again from triumph!!! 🙄🥺 Anyway no more moaning as its a stonking great bike you best go buy one if its that good!! 👌🏻👍🏻😁 All the best Dave... 😃

[@markfranks1329]

A cracking machine, no doubt. I think, however, like you, I'd gravitate toward the R. As you state, it's got all the real-world performance that you'd want, it's lighter and, of course, cheaper. Still, if more bells and whistles are one's thing, the RS is the one to go for. Love the colour on this, though. The Triumph site appears to show just one colour choice for the R; black with a red frame. Please correct me if I'm wrong. As with the appraisal of the R, a good review. Looking forward to your next 'Classic' overview.

[@markfranks1329]

Ooops! Correction. Regarding colours. Scrap the red frame!! Got Monsters and SV's on the brain, obviously!😂 Sorry community!

[@Sumpguard]

Dream bike, great review, sir.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lesrankin9539]

I found the RS quite uncomfortable after about half an hour, I kept it for two years then traded it in for a MT09SP and never looked back. It looked nice , sounded nice and very quick but just wasn’t for me.

[@davidebbs2797]

Would love to see this colour way back on it's bigger Triple Brother 👍😎

[@lucluc8370]

Hey , I'm riding Sportster S 1250cc , and a few weeks back, I tested the 765rs. It blew my mind! I'm also thinking about trying out the Honda CB1000R. What do you think about these two bikes? How would you compare them?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

The two are VERY different.....

[@S1000xrhp]

I had an 05 scorched ochre Speed Triple, a beautiful colour that really glowed in the sunshine. The RS looks just as good. I'm a Speed Triple fanboy currently riding a Diablo Red S model but could well be tempted in moving down to this "lesser" range of Street bikes, but can't work out if it would be Yellow or Red? They do look and sound wonderful, at a great price 🙂

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Couldn't agree more!

[@S1000xrhp]

@@TheMissendenFlyer the revised Street 765 seems to have avoided the difficulties Triumph had with the launch of the 1200. Aside from owners saying it's a different bike to the 1050, the teething problems it had has put me off.

[@bas7a881]

Ugh I want a striple so bad, I’m absolutely in love with the looks. But given that I have no plans of every going to the track I can’t help but wonder if the MT09 sp or the 890 Duke r are better for regular roads?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nah - the Triumph is the one!

[@quacktac]

I've always liked these, but I won't lie, the yellow colour is the main reason I finally pulled the trigger on one.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes looks great doesn’t it….

[@R-Tap]

Superb bike, superb riding jacket

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks ✌️

[@kevinpick194]

Bugger. Just trimmed down to one bike, from a Tiger 900 GT Pro and Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX, and now Triumph bring this out.... might be in for a spanking if I go back to two bikes again so soon. Perhaps next spring I might get away with it, should be some second-hand ones around then....or maybe not!!!! Same tiny complaint that Triumph colours are a bit dull (except on the RS). I would prefer the R as a bike, for my needs and riding style (ie not going hell-for-leather everywhere) but why can't they offer the R in those colours as well???? Baffles me. Great back-to-back reviews.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you for watching!

[@paulfowler6665]

The street triple is my favourite bike I've never owned and I've ridden a couple of different ones The yellow looks amazing but why oh why can't they fit a decent TFT 😢

[@colindeans5972]

Or go wild and not have one. Much better in my opinion.

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

Sadly they have to compete with other manufacturers that have them. Most people buy bikes from looking at specs mostly. What I wish is that Triumph fit the same TFT on all the high end bikes. That way it’ll be more corporate and easy for clients to move from one bike to another.

[@Villani_AV]

I recently watched your speed triple 1050 rs review and was wondering how this stacked up to that in your mind? I know the last 1050 had about 20hp more and gobs more of torque, but in the street how would they compare? Used prices for those are comparable to the new street S by me rn

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes it’s a tough one that….both great, would need to ride back to back to decide!!

[@YarekBalear]

Yellow and the red look fantastic. Seems they’ve made the bike better for the road overall than the 2018 I had (and didn’t love nearly as much as the 2010 675r I had before). Question on the suspension though - presumably you can dial out some of the harshness you felt over the R to make it less track focused?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I assume so…..

[@alexmorgan3435]

Dial out ............... LoL. You mean fit a spring with the correct rating for his weight. It is likely too stiff even on the R!

[@UOO303T]

It reminds me of a wasp alittle wot with it being yellow and the headlight. But it suits the bike a very nice looking bike cheers Andy
