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!
Yamaha R9 2025
The Yamaha R9 is not a feel-good motorbike for leisurely country road tours - and that's a good thing. It appeals to ambitious riders who are looking for a sporty machine that also excites off the race track. The engine is outstanding, the suspension is top-notch and the brakes are excellent. Only the demanding ergonomics make the Yamaha R9 less attractive for long-distance riders or pleasure bikers. However, if you are looking for a sharp country road weapon with trackday potential, the R9 is an extremely well-rounded and affordable overall package. Be sure to test ride it! This is the only way to find out whether you are the type for the physical and direct nature of the Yamaha R9.
