Result
Boy, boy, what a board! The new Street Triple 765 R delivers what it promises. Many small updates turn the already very good naked bike into a damn good naked bike. The Streety drives famos and precisely, the engine is addictive and the technical equipment is now almost at the level of the Speed Triple. The price for the R is more than okay and if you like it even more noble, you can go for the RS - you can't go wrong with both bikes.We kindly received the test bike from the Triumph flagship store in Hamburg . If you would like to take a test drive, you are cordially invited there. In addition to the R, Q-Bike also has a demonstrator of the RS on site - so you can compare both bikes directly. Have fun and greetings from us...
