TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE 765 S (2017 - on) Review

Wife on pillion said it was much more comfortable than my last 2 bikes which where first a kawasaki z750 and my mt09. I've riden just short of 400 miles in a day on a trip to Wales, no issues or problems, comfortable upright position and soft enough seat for a long trip.

I've nothing bad to say about the engine, haven't had an issue with it at all. Enough power, lovely sound and great delivery. Does everything it says on the tin.

It's a triumph, you expect quality and reliability and you get it. Had her 12 months never had an issue,she's my work horse so ridden daily as well as my weekend blast, ridden all year in the rain not one sign of corrosion.

I fit a pipecross air filter, I think there a better air filter than K&N filter, definitely worth fitting as it gives you more grunt and better mileage. I average about 150 to 160 to miles a tank, however if ridden mild and Conservative you can easy close to 200, not bad for a £20 empty to full.

Standard air filter chokes the engine, get a pipecross filter, better fuel economy and little more grunt. The bike came with bridgestone battlax on, great tyre and i got 8000 miles out of them. You need to get a tank pad, plenty of choice. My favourite feature is the look, she's just stunning and turns heads.

Soft enough for the real world. Brakes good but could be better.

Could always use more, but a great mix of grunt and revs.

It's beenn

Quickshifter is great, heated grips too, slightly higher screen works.

Stock suspension set up was a bit soft for me (+/- 80 kg) added +1 preload which made a world of difference. Brakes are good, but my previous bike had Brembos which felt a tad sharper, not a major issue but worth mentioning. Seat is comfy and good for all day riding, but the handlebar vibration makes it uncomfortable after a few hours in the saddle. Installing aftermarket bar end weights a plus.

Engine has a very playful character and smooth power delivery. Compared to my previous bike (MV Agusta Brutale 675), the Street Triple feels like she has more low end torque. Traction control not really needed as the power delivery is just so smooth, turning it off really makes the bike more fun to ride.

Fit and finish are of high quality, and the Triumph triple engine is a proven motor so no major problems expected.

First service is at 500 miles, Triumph have a program to pay for the labour for their first service so the customer need only pay for consumables (may not be the case everywhere depending on where you live).

Comes with: Two ride modes (Road/Rain), ABS, TC (on and off only), and adjustable preload. Ridden mostly in road mode with TC off as this is the most fun setting and really gives the brilliant engine's full potential. Would recommend bar end weights to reduce vibrations on longer rides and might be worth tweaking the preload depending on your weight and riding style. Exhaust sounds pretty good as stock, but an aftermarket would make it sound great.

Much improved braking and suspension over last years model . Very comfortable .

The extra 90 cc's make a world of difference .

Only 1000 miles covered but no reason to expect anything to fail.

Tried the RS and found the digital screen more difficult to read at a glance
