What does the 2023 model of the flagship naked bike from Hinckley offer?

The new Triumph Street Triple 765 R costs just over 10,000 euros. But there is a crisp naked bike with complete equipment. The distance to the 2,100 euros more expensive RS has become much narrower. What... weiter

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...

Conclusion - what gets stuck

For so many years, Ducati stuck to the typical appearance of the monsters that change was really time. But how many monsters are still in it? We find a lot when you are open to change. You'll see how well the new monster will sell. In any case, however, the target group is likely to have become much wider. The new monster is also interesting for holders of the A2 driving licence, because after 2 years you can not open the 35 kW to the full 111 hp, but at least to 95 hp. And that should ensure many years of driving fun. In short, the reworking of the monsters seems clear and thoughtful to us and could give a new lease of life to the monsters' success story.

Our thanks go to Ducati-Hamburg for the test bike.
