Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2021
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!
Yamaha MT-09 SP 2022
The fun bike MT-09 is at its best in the SP version! The extremely fun, lively three-cylinder engine feels like more than just 119 hp thanks to the abundance of torque. Add to that terrific, bike-like handling and phenomenal, finely controllable brakes. The upright, rear-facing riding position doesn't take away as much front-wheel feel in the MT-09 SP, as the high-quality chassis gives clean feedback from the road and rides every radius with stability. Unfortunately, as is typical for Yamaha, the clarity of the TFT display and the operating concept of the lush electronics leave a lot to be desired. The seat and pillion comfort could also be better. Otherwise, however, the MT-09 SP is the (almost) perfect bike for massive riding fun.
