News Flash. A young lady was at a Triumph dealership trying to trade in her better half for a yellow street triple rs.

@whitneyestate1402 Год назад

Quite impressive specs: 128 hp, 414 pounds wet, IMU, rider modes. Cracking bike, Kate.

@nigelcox7477 Год назад

I could see after 200yds that you liked it! You’ve really nailed how to convey how a bike makes you feel - reminds me of Harry met Sally - ‘I’ll have whatever she’s having!’. Congratulations on delivering to us a very exciting review - fantastic. Get your c/card ready Kate…

@SpeckNV Год назад

I have had this exact bike for about 5 weeks now. I am extremely happy with it as it replaced my rs660. Great review Kate as always! You are one of my favorite to watch for sure

@zbynekskrampal8530 10 месяцев назад

Hi, I traded my RS660 few weeks ago and this 765Rs is one of my furure tips as well. RS660 was precise, easy handling and quite quick bike, but the performance of the engine was too linear for me. I am also considering 1200RS, but it’s probably too powerful for my needs. Could you please compare these two bikes for me? Thanks a lot! 😊

@yonniboy1 Год назад

You're 100% right about the new RS being a much plusher ride than the previous models, I had the 2020 RS and it's amazing that Triumph could make the 2023 bike handle sharper but simultaneously make the comfort better, usually one has to suffer to improve the other, IMO this is the bike of the year, I absolutely love mine!

@sacredgeometry Год назад

The suspension is exactly the same. Excusing geometry it's probably just set more softly. My 2017RS came horribly crashy. So bad I got really awful pain in my wrists eventually from riding it. Once I had softened the suspension it was perfect. Still firm but it didnt feel like there was no suspension.

@yonniboy1 Год назад

@@sacredgeometry I think you're right, both the original 2017 765 RS and the 2020 second update were harshly sprung and Triumph have got the standard settings spot on this time.

@sacredgeometry Год назад

@@yonniboy1 They have the exact same suspension as far as I know the rebound and compression settings might just be a little more relaxed.

@stephenspiteri_zunkus Год назад

Maybe. Softer springs?

@antoninoarrigo3911 Год назад

Addirittura! Chissa perché, anche quando è uscita la 2020, la 2017 era diventata un quasi rottame, eppure, in parecchie aree, leggi ad esempio strumentazione, era peggiorata e non parliamo del passaggio ad Euro 5, che l' ha soffocata non poco, perciò, meglio non farsi abbindolare dal consumismo galoppante, perché, ormai, "le migliorie dovute al team Moto 2" incantano solo i polli... Andate a guardare il teaser di presentazione del 2020 e confrontate col 2023... Noterete parecchie analogie...

@wizrom3046 Год назад

That bike hits that really nice sweet spot of tons of power, but still light and nimble. Not the bezerk power of the modern 1000's just the right amount of power. People (young men) get obsessed with "more power less weight, more power less weight" they forget that really magic bikes find that sweet spot of power, weight, handling, stability etc. I think its a real winner.

@sacredgeometry Год назад

Daft isn't it. This bike really is in the sweet spot of everything. Its perfect.

@303MoTo Год назад

Amazing views on that road you've picked. Gorgeous! I lived in the UK as a teen and fell in love with Triumph motorcycles. Now back in the USA, I bought a 2015 STR RX 675, the first model with the Daytona rear end and a quick shifter. I upgraded to a 2018 765RS when they came out over here, and just this week traded up to the cosmic yellow 24 year model 765 you're riding here (in the US it's 24, not sure why). The powerband comes on so much smoother than the 18, and the quick shifter is 100x smoother. A definite upgrade in just a few years. I cannot for the life of me figure out how they got it to handle better though,, it was already perfect. You said it so many times, how well they've done with this model, I can't wait to get her broken in. Great review vids!!

Thanks for this enthralling enthusiastic review, your genuine love for the 765RS really shone through 👍😀 One thing which stood out for me though was the sound, or rather lack of it. " "Listen to that induction roar, it's intoxicating" sadly with Euro regulations getting tougher each year that's all were allowed out of the box. I could hear the triple whine which is always endearing but what use is that without a bit of a rip from the exhaust to accompany it.

Not so much a review as a ........oh ah ye ha..... "oh ma nads :) funny ! I rode a yellow one last Saturday and it was a blast - the acceleration is pretty nice for passing those tin boxes on wheels and something no one else has mentioned but it slows down really nicely when you throttle off - i guess due to the high compression engine. My first triple ride and like you, i think i am in Love !! I WILL get one - silver for me & RS !

@daveflood1555 9 месяцев назад

HI Kate, Thanks for this review and the great video of the moors. I came across your site as I was reading up on this bike and the Speed Triple. I'm considering buy one over here. I guess I watched the whole video as I'm from Leeds and the route you took made me a bit homesick- I have been out here in the SoCal for many a year. Used to ride that area- Appletreewick, Pateley Bridge on so on. It was a while back on me Speed Twin, in the days when a cafe racer was some you built your self and took out to Sherburn for a cup of tea. (Is the transport café is still there?). Anyways, I had a 955i two years ago and it was a blast but not too comfortable. This one looks like that wont be an issue and I have a test ride this coming week. Thanks again for the review and scenery. Subscribed.

@RadDadisRad Год назад

1200 is fun but it’s heavier. Has a lot more power and that power isn’t as usable. To use it you’d be in license suspension territory. The street does everything below 100mph really well. Also the Speed is $6k more than the street.

Triumph always made great looking yellow bikes.... thinking on the Daytona 1200 from the 90's. Really liked that one. Wondering how this Street Triple compares to the XSR900. Two nice engines. 🙄

@hisride Год назад

If this bike is a pair of tweezers then the XSR is a pair of pliers. The engines are very different on them as well. Where the ST is a ride to the top of the revs the MT is a lot happier with punching you from low rpms. Where the ST is a cheetah, the MT is a lion. Very similar bikes but very different at the same time. Honestly I probably prefer crosplane twins but these bikes hold a special place in my heart

@UsernameKate Год назад

No I was talking about the 2019 Street Triple that I used to own - front suspension was rock solid. However, I have also ridden the Speed Triple 1200 RS and this suspension is more palatable on the 2023 street for sure!

I have the 2019 Speed Triple 1050RS, and Ive had the rear shock toned down a bit by Mick Gander Racing in Barnsley and its a lot nicer ride now, still firm but not making my vision bad now, also a little pet peeve with Triumph with the heated grips, when you switch them on it would be a lot better if the little symbol changed colour instead you get tiny little pips under the symbol so very hard to just glance to see what setting you have it on. Apart from that brilliant bike and love the power delivery and handling.
