Triumph Street Triple 675 R 2016

The Triumph Street Tripel R is known as an extremely lively naked bike that is enormous fun on the country road. But the little R-Streety also cuts a fine figure on the racetrack and doesn't get on your nerves with a spongy chassis or too little power. Even the braking system with its two 310-millimetre discs and radially mounted Nissin four-piston calipers at the front is as powerful as you would expect from a very, very sporty motorbike that is also used to a large extent on country roads or in everyday life.
