Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2021

As before, the RS top model is indeed the most desirable of the Street Triples. In addition to the usual playful handling, the super-direct Brembo brakes and the lively character of the three-cylinder engine, there is now a more bulbous mid-range, upgraded electronics as well as a Brembo M50 brake and the once again sharpened appearance. Thanks to the very sporty Pirelli Supercorsa SP V3 tyres, trackdays are indeed a serious issue, and the now standard shift assistant with blipper function greatly increases the incentive to switch to the new model. A wonderful fun machine for both country road and track!

Fantastically lively engine

high quality standard

quickshifter with blipper as standard

roaring sound

excellent Brembo M50 brake system

ABS and traction control as standard

sporty look

low weight.

somewhat complicated menu navigation

connectivity system bugged

adjustment screws on the fork poorly accessible

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016

Some might be surprised that after waiting so long, Suzuki did not launch the ultimate, uncompromising power naked bike. Instead, the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 with its 149 hp seems almost too well-behaved. But once you ride it on the race track, you quickly realise that the engine is far more powerful in real life and that the rest of the performance of the chassis and braking system is also impressive. In return, it also offers a large portion of everyday and practical suitability - not bad ingredients when you have to cover everything from everyday to race track with a single bike.

Powerful engine

good braking control

stable and sensitive chassis

comfortable seating position

relatively low price.

Front end looks too good

toxic throttle response in the lower rev range
