In terms of engine power, the Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2023 has a slightly higher horsepower of 120 HP compared to the Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018's 115 HP.

Both bikes have three cylinders and liquid cooling systems, which contribute to their efficient performance and reliability. They also have similar suspension systems, with upside-down telescopic forks in the front and swing arm suspension with monoshocks in the rear. However, the Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2023 features Showa suspension components, while the Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018 has Kayaba front suspension and Öhlins rear suspension. This may result in slightly different handling characteristics and comfort levels.

Technical Specifications Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2023 compared to Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Street Triple 765 R 2023
The overhaul of the Street Triple family for 2023 has been more than successful. The R we tested is the entry-level model - but there is little sign of this, because thanks to the extensive standard equipment, the cleanly working chassis and the high-quality workmanship, hardly any wishes remain unfulfilled even here. The 765 cubic capacity three-cylinder is a doozy anyway and not only impresses with its running culture and revving pleasure, but also its responsiveness and dosing is first-class. The new Street Triple 765 R is a really fair offer.
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2018
The Yamaha MT-09 SP is the refinement of an already very good mid-range naked bike. With better suspension components from Öhlins and Kayaba, a nicer paint job and a justifiably higher price, the SP version is clearly the sportiest choice within the Yamaha MT-09 range. The brute power of the engine does not allow the MT-09 SP to be ridden comfortably, but that is not necessary on the "Special" - the fun is clearly in the foreground! The Yamaha MT-09 EVO with Wilbers suspension is now available as an interesting alternative, because it has no "war paint" and is very discreet. But unfortunately only for Switzerland...
