Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda VFR 800 F 2014

The concept fits, both performance and comfort are tuned to the mid-range sports tourer. However, it is difficult to make comparisons with the competition - the VFR800F hardly has any. Other sports tourers are stronger, more unwieldy and weigh just as much.

Powerful impression

Optimal handling

Great sound

Pleasant handlebar position

Well-protecting windscreen.

Nix

Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2017

The top model among the Street Triples fully deserves the designation. Sportier in all respects than the R version, the RS presents itself on the country road as a fun machine that has few opponents to fear. Trackdays on the racetrack are also an issue, especially since the engine is very sharp, the Brembo brakes are super-sporty and the suspension with the Öhlins damper is wonderfully precise. The handling is a stunner anyway, the Street Triple is still the lightest in its class. The standard quickshifter further consolidates the position of the top model.

wonderfully sporty engine

quickshifter as standard

throaty sound

excellent braking system

ABS and traction control as standard and can be switched off

cool looks
