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...
Good - if you like athletes
What remains? At 9,845 euros, the Kawasaki Z 900 of the 2020 vintage has become more expensive, but with its electronic equipment it has also become considerably more valuable, especially in the area of security. She has lost nothing of her qualities – at least for sporty riders.
However, it is a very animating motorcycle: the bike appeals to the rider on an emotional level. Only the message is always the same: finally turn to the stop! If you like this and don't need a socioseat, you have a fully everyday athlete colleague here. If this is too hectic, the new features will not convince you either.
The test bike was provided to us by Heller & Soltau in St. Michaelisdonn.
