Overview - Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2017 vs Kawasaki ER-6n 2011

The Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2017 and the Kawasaki ER-6n 2011 are both naked bikes that offer a thrilling riding experience. However, there are several key differences between the two models.

In terms of engine performance, the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2017 comes out on top. It boasts an inline three-cylinder engine with a power output of 123 HP and a torque of 77 Nm.

In terms of suspension, both bikes feature a monoshock rear shock absorber. This helps to provide a comfortable and controlled ride. However, the Street Triple has an advantage with its aluminum frame, which offers better rigidity and handling compared to the ER-6n's steel frame.

When it comes to braking, the Street Triple once again takes the lead. It is equipped with double disc brakes at the front, featuring four pistons and radial, monoblock technology. This provides excellent stopping power and precise control. The ER-6n, on the other hand, has double piston front disc brakes with petal technology. While still effective, they may not offer the same level of performance as the Street Triple's brakes.

In terms of dimensions and weights, both bikes have similar front and rear tire widths. They also share the same wheelbase of 1410mm. However, there are slight differences in seat height and fuel tank capacity.

Moving on to strengths and weaknesses, the Street Triple has several notable strengths. Its engine is praised for its sporty performance and the quickshifter is a valuable addition. The bike also has a throaty sound, excellent braking system, and ABS and traction control as standard, which can be switched off for more experienced riders. Additionally, the Street Triple has a cool and stylish appearance, as well as a low weight, which contributes to its agility on the road. However, it does have a weakness in the form of complicated menu navigation.

On the other hand, the ER-6n has fewer strengths but no apparent weaknesses. It offers ABS, wider handlebars, a slimmer waist, increased intake noise, and a comfortable seat. The bike also has an uncomplicated chassis, which can be appealing to riders who prefer a simpler design.

In conclusion, the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2017 and the Kawasaki ER-6n 2011 are both capable naked bikes.

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.
