2023 Triumph Street Triple 765 R & RS Launch First Ride | On Track & Road 

Thank you and thats a good idea! Also great use of the word trifecta, I’ll try and get it in another video 😜

That's a brilliant Idea!

1down5up 6GEAR 🏍️🏍️👍 On the BBC 😂😂

We are a motorcycle TV show, we broadcast on SKY in the UK, 100 other countries and MAVTV in the US.

Lara with Zack and Ari would be fire.

Cheers Hamza! Go team!

Thanks!

Thanks Jason! Its hard not to smile on events like these!

Thank you Rikky! Its great to work with Chad too :)

You could do a whole lot worse picking a next bike than a 765RS….. it is such a capable basic motorcycle… ok, it rails like a (very good) sport bike and does track days but it really is at home commuting or just “being a dude out on a bike”. What I like about my wife’s RS is that while it isn’t exactly brain-off fun (it’s proper quick in its envelope), it isn’t heart attack serious like my bikes. Truly an enjoyable motorcycle in every way.

Thank you!

Cheers, she seems to be going down well.

Thank you! It’s all down to good editing 😊

@@Laramoto Well, that, and you being a badass.

Thank you so much!

@@Laramoto Thank u Lara!

Thanks for watching, Chris, Chad and I are a great team 💪

If you’re a trackday guy, you’ll appreciate the throttle mapping-its the first fly-by-wire bike I have ridden that doesn’t have harsh throttle response in slower corners that upsets the chassis.

@@nunyabidness9257 That sounds encouraging 🍻

I’ll bet you’re a riot at parties… I thought she did a great job. Must suck to know that a woman is faster than you and can articulate the fine points about a motorcycle better than you can. Jealousy can eat a man up….

Cheers Craig!

There was about 2 hours of giggling, needed to cut it down 😆

@@Laramoto Hahahaha!! 🤣🤣🤣

@@Laramoto And in the end, that's what bikes are supposed to do - leave you giggling like a little kid and with a smile on your face. Thanks again for the video. 😁 Now I have to decide if I want to upgrade from my 2021 Street Triple R to the 2024 RS (financial resources is always a challenge, too). There's enough there to make the upgrade worth it, IMO - the upgraded engine and braking components, the IMU, linked brakes, and the option for cruise control (yes, I've found myself wanting cruise control on my 2021 R on occasion).

Thank you Phil!

😆

We all need Chris! 😆 #teambikeworld

Haha ikr. The track focused models just look way better than the R. Kinda unfortunate because that’s the only reason I’d buy an RS over the R, next to maybe the TFT.

Or the devil incarnate red.

Cheers Martin

Thanks Martin!

Thank you MadChalet! Jerez was exhilarating and really enjoyed chatting to Chad. :)

Thank you!

Cheers scoot!

@@Laramoto awesomeness 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for watching!

As Lara said in the Vid, Chris is still in Portugal. You're right, everyone has to start somewhere, she has a full time job so doesn't really have time to go testing bikes off camera. Chris will be riding to bike back in the UK in a few weeks, hopefully we'll he'll cover some of the information you're looking for.

She's a racer. Translated: She knows how to stay at the top of the powerband. I'm guessing on I4s.The 765 Triple is closer to one of those in delivery, than it is to other triples like the MT-09s. At least to me, for a bike like an STR, it's much more important that the engine obviously works for someone used to "screw emissions, rev to the moon" race bikes, than whether she has specifically ridden a triple before. Now, if she was reviewing something as off as KTM bringing back a track suited version of their 690 single, that would be different..... Then I would want someone with thumper experience to review it, as it would be too darned foreign to most I4 trained racers. But a 765, I see no issue. The STR triple, is very I4/sportsbike/racebike in character.

Thank you!

Thanks Martin

Thank you!

I’m trying to do more around the day job 😊

It’s only a test ride away!

Feeling dialled too, the bike helped ;)

Thank you!

Merch is on its way!

Cheers!

Thank you!

Thank you! Clip on shopping for you then.. but I'd ride it standard first ;)

Thank you!

Thanks Craig!

We did ask the question about a tune, they didn't answer...

@@BikeWorldTVshow Yeah, they won't. I have already pulled both maps and opened them up and I see exactly what they are doing. I have also unlocked the ECU for others and their bike instantly picked up power. They used to do it with a different cam and tune, prior to the 2020 Euro5 model... But they started using the same exact motor in both bikes, and they can create two different power profiles with software for the two different models, at two different price points. They save money on tooling and only need one assembly line for a single motor, and the rest is now done in software. Shortens the parts list that they need to buy or stock for making bikes, or warranty replacement parts. Makes much more sense to do it that way and control the power output with software. Other companies do it as well, but at least with Triumph, you can easily unlock that stuff and get full power back... When you think about it, it's no different than Rain, vs Road vs Sport mode, etc... They just take it a step further on the R model, to hold it back a little so that the RS makes more power and helps justify the higher price tag. 🙂

@@BikeWorldTVshow I made a video about this comparing the maps. Again, this ONLY applies to the 2020+ Euro5 models... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TPY0xtII1UU.html

Really interesting info Dave, thank you for sharing

Ah, well the R does suit people that aren't fussed about track time... why pay more? I thrashed the R on the road and it didn't need 118, never mind 128... ;)

@@Laramoto I’d want all of the goodies, if I was paying that kind of money for a bike anyway, I’d want all it could offer. I’m kind of used to that in my last few bikes. I think it’s great that Triumph have a lower spec’d, slightly more affordable option though. As you know, quality brakes and suspension make a huge difference on the road, especially if you are like me and not built like a grand national jockey 😂

Yes you should!

It is a subjective thing...

Circular headlights just say “old bike” to me 🤷🏼‍♂️

I agree, and find really hard to beat some iconic design standards. Also it is subjective what it is subjective. I understand that peoples taste differs

@@BikeWorldTVshow you are right. That is what I appreciate about the aftermarket. If I don’t like the factory equipment I can swap it out for something I do like.

All today look like mantis🤣

Hello Nunya, thanks for sharing this... I think you know your solution, and bikes need to fit their riders - that's critical! Tank range I can't help with, its full taps for me 😆

Thank you Ben!

Let us know how you get on with it...

😉

@@BikeWorldTVshow That price is AU$20,143.00!!!!!!!!!! Way too much for this type of bike. Street Triple 765 RS is also gutless. 120BHP at crank is a joke in 2023. No thanks.

Chris Noooorthover of course! ;)

@@Laramoto thank God you replied! As a 60+ male who grew up in country Australia my attempt at humour often goes down like a lead filled end can off a 2023 Suzuki VStrom. Always been a Chris fan, now I’m Lara fan too. ☺️

Thank you! It’s a Spada 👌

Yep, you’ve got it in one! ❤

Lara's new to the team, only her second trip with Bike World.

Glad you're back!

Hello! Thanks for watching… you can’t make me choose tho! Depends if you like twins or triples 😅

😂

She’s fine where she is thanks!

Noooo 😂

@@Laramoto LOOOOOL loved the video! ( iwanst talking about the daytona... but the comparison to the speed triple RR) the red color is already there... I would prefer it in the new yellow.

Hey! Thank you, you too!

As Lara said, it depends what you plan to do with the bike. It's nice to have the bling but if you don't plan to go to the track spend the money on the insurance and some new gear.

@@BikeWorldTVshow cheers guys 🙏

Same, its the best bike I have owned..,

Oooh - you're one of very few!

She's an ex racer, new to the channel but fitting in well.

Even got that ice cream cone grip!

@@JelloThatsMellow I do like ice cream ;)

Yeah its mint!

@@Laramoto Ummm but, but its new

Not harsh, just responsive and you have the option to relax it a little anyway. But then, the R sits perfectly in that road use only category...

Sorry no, they’re all sold so nothing for us to ride.

Hmm, interesting, good for Triumph! Thanks for the reply and the great video

Sounds like we need to do a head to head!

@@BikeWorldTVshow yes please!

I agree, its owners that make it more relatable rather than the 2 days we had with it. Corker of a bike though!

Ooooh I'd have to listen to both back to back ;)

Ktm would brake down few times that's for sure

@@lukaszg74why? Is there a problem with the brakes?

​@@lukaszg74 I think you mean "break" 🫣

@@amococ2487 Unplanned visit to the KTM dealer 😬

Great idea!
