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.

For the fact that Honda has actually only announced an update, hardly a stone has been left unturned on the new Fire Blade. Some of the new features are of course due to the new EURO standard, but many of them are really aimed at improving drivability. I am very pleased that, especially in times like these, when more and more manufacturers are withdrawing from the high-performance and expensive superbike segment, Honda is once again devoting its full development power to improving what is already good and thus demonstrating what is technically feasible. Because even if these bikes are no longer affordable for many of us, they still demonstrate the know-how or the technical possibilities. And over time, these will also find their way into the 0-8-15 bikes from which the majority of motorcyclists will then also benefit.
