Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2018

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!
Triumph Speed Triple S 2016

The Speed Triple remains true to its line in the latest generation - a wonderfully sharp naked bike that characterises the streetfighter style like hardly any other model. It only makes limited sense for the racetrack - of course, the roaring three-cylinder engine with 140 hp is enormous fun and the Fafhrwerk shows no gross weaknesses, but there is a Speed Triple R with Öhlins suspension elements that naturally feels more at home on the racetrack. All in all, the Speed Triple S is an excellent country road fighter that also has a lot to offer in terms of looks.
