Pros and Cons in comparison

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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.

quickshifter as standard

throaty sound

ABS and traction control as standard and can be switched off
