Design
to confuse Triumph's naked bike It looks very bright, standing out in city traffic, and there are dual headlights . The Street Triple 675 has come a long way since production began in 2008, but it has retained this feature to this day. The aggressive silhouette, low and with a raised tail , hints at hidden power, and the color scheme refers to its sporting roots.
Specifications
A powerful engine with excellent traction almost from the very bottom, perfectly precise gearbox operation, a good chassis and a comfortable fit - these are the main advantages of the Triumph Street Triple. But not everything is so simple.
Engine
The 3-cylinder 12-valve in-line engine produces 106 hp. and 68 Nm of torque, and this is enough to “go to the point” with a sharp opening of the gas. Despite the non-standard layout, Triumph engineers managed to successfully place the engine in the frame, tilting it forward and achieving a lower center of mass.
Transmission
The standard 6-speed transmission works perfectly. The gears are long, in first you can accelerate to 100+ km/h , and in third - almost 200 km/h. You shouldn’t do this all the time to save the transmission, but if necessary, the bike is capable of it.
Chassis and brakes
Thanks to alloy frame, Triumph engineers managed to keep the weight of the bike at a reasonable level, but they saved on KYB brand suspensions. The standard version is devoid of adjustments, while the chassis seems too rigid to many owners. And the brakes are good, however, this applies mainly to fresh copies with ABS . In the first generations of the Triumph Street Triple, this system was installed only as an additional option, and the brakes themselves were criticized by many bikers due to mediocre feedback and low information content.
Electronics
The motorcycle is not overloaded with electronics, but it does have the most important auxiliary system - ABS . It can be turned off, but the manufacturer does not recommend this. Otherwise, everything is familiar and understandable.
Weight and dimensions
Weighing in at around 183kg , the Triumph Street Triple doesn't feel subjectively heavy. You can safely tilt it to reasonable limits without fear of dropping it. But due to the wide handlebars, problems can sometimes arise with maneuvering in aisles, since the bike’s mirrors are approximately at the same level as the mirrors of most passenger cars.
Controllability
Thanks to its relatively short wheelbase, the Street Triple 657 is distinguished by its maneuverability . This is especially noticeable on the track, where the bike can demonstrate everything it is capable of. But directional stability leaves much to be desired, especially on a windswept highway.
Fuel consumption
In the combined cycle, the gasoline consumption of the Triumph Street Triple reaches 6-6.5 liters , and the gas tank contains 15 liters . When driving aggressively in urban conditions, consumption may be higher. Moreover, even on the highway it does not drop below 5 liters , if you drive calmly.
Royal "troika": review of Triumph Street Triple 765 RS
Each of us has encountered an object or phenomenon that could definitely be defined as classical. Classic situations, classical art, they are understandable. What allows us to call a motorcycle a classic? Round headlight and lots of chrome? Or maybe it fully complies with the canons of the genre, be it enduro or streetfighter?
You can argue for a long time, however, the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS, in my opinion, is the most classic roadster. As befits a real “Triumph” - with history. The first Street Triple saw the light back in 2007, in 2014 it underwent restyling, and last year, 2017, the motorcycle was updated again. And although the radical improvements claim the title of a new model, I would like to define the new product as another update of the classics, rather than as a fundamentally new model. It is very similar to its predecessor both outside and inside.
Triumph Street Triple 765 RS video review:
Recognition is the main word in today's design world. The categories beautiful/ugly have long faded into the background; the image of a modern motorcycle should be bright, evoking emotions and allowing these emotions to be unmistakably tied to a specific brand. And with this, the Triumph Street Triple 765 is doing just as well as it was 11 years ago - the dual headlight hanging over the wheel cannot be confused with anyone else.
Dual optics are a signature feature of the latest generations of the British roadster
Moreover, the updated motorcycle received a completely diode light, which is why the already original optics began to look even more interesting - the faceted eyes of a predatory insect are exciting! The ensemble of aluminum frame and swingarm with sharp edges also looks great, aggressive and stylish, especially together with the pointed tail and the elegant, deliberately light subframe.
A design created a decade ago still looks relevant today. These are not rice grinders!
The only thing that causes bewilderment is the mirrors attached to the ends of the steering wheel - what kind of hooligan antics of British punks? Not only are cafe-racer hardware unsuitable for a modern roadster, but getting through traffic jams with them is a complete pain. However, only buyers of the top-end version of the RS, which turned out to be our test, will have to suffer; those who chose the simpler and more affordable versions of S and R will drive like people; the mirrors on these two are traditional.
Mirrors from the ends of the steering wheel - leave this to the guys who tuck tights into sneakers, you can’t drive normally with them
Or rather, you won’t have to suffer at all - you can replace the mirrors on the RS version, especially since all the other improvements are really worth the money. How many? The difference between the “naked” Triumph Street Triple 765 S and the most charged Triumph Street Triple 765 RS is noticeable, 675,000 rubles versus 890,000. For this difference, the buyer receives an engine boosted by 10 horsepower, three additional modes of electronics operation, top-end suspension, brake mechanisms and a modern color dashboard. Well, terrible mirrors.
Top components especially set the flagship version apart from others
In other words, the point of taking the expensive version is obvious, or, at a minimum, making a deal with your own conscience and taking a compromise mid-range package, the price tag of which starts at 760,000 rubles. It's only short of five horses, has decent suspension and a modern dashboard, and if you're not used to constantly driving at the limit, the feeling of lack will not bother you.
The power unit is an in-line three, producing 123 hp.
Moreover, even the middle version has a new digital dashboard with a color monitor; only the owners of the most budget version will have to bite their elbows. It is similar to the panel of the Triumph Tiger 800 XCa, and is still impressive: the design on the outside is close to the standard, or rather, to the design of a smartphone with a bitten apple on the logo. The interface design, or rather its six options, is no worse. The user can choose any of the preset schemes, within which the priority of displaying this or that information changes and the design of the scales is noticeably different.
Due to a poorly positioned clutch cable, you have to sweat to insert the ignition key
And although it stopped being “tomorrow” a few years ago, I still can’t get used to the idea that I have lived to see the moment when there will be a whole computer with a color monitor on a motorcycle. In short, the Street Triple's dashboard is impressive in both functionality and graphics. Impressive for now, but in a few years it will be the same for everyone. Almost like that - adjusting the angle of the monitor will probably remain a British feature; its usefulness is not very obvious.
Maneuvers in heavy traffic do not cause any difficulties, you just have to watch out for the excessively wide mirrors
The remote controls are also unified with the Tiger, so it doesn’t take long to get used to them. The keys are in familiar places, ergonomics and workmanship do not raise any questions. The saddle is comfortable even if you are tall, the handlebars are moderately wide, the saddle is a bit stiff and, together with the high-mounted footpegs, subtly hints at the continuation of the evening. Looking ahead, you will have to spend the evening on Street Triple alone - a girl who agrees to ride on the passenger seat of this motorcycle probably suffers from some kind of disorder; no one in their right mind would climb this peak!
The plug in place of the passenger perch hints at an evening spent alone
However, what kind of ladies can there be when you actually have a sportbike chassis reminiscent of a Triumph Daytona, top-end brakes, excellent suspension and a 123-horsepower “troika” between your legs? Don't be fooled, 123 horsepower is a lot, especially when the total weight of the bike is just over 183 kg. There really is a lot of engine here, and, unlike its liter counterparts, cranking up the gas all the way is not so scary, which makes it possible to drive very, very quickly. So much so that every now and then you have to ask the next “sport biker” to move in the motorcycle lane on the Moscow Ring Road.
The British feel is somewhere between the volume of the Sex Pistols and the harmony of The Beatles.
Multipoint injection, electronic throttle grip, quickshifter, lightning-fast growing speeds and almost uniform distribution of torque across the entire tachometer range, with an emphasis on its second half. The main thing is not to forget to set the “correct” Track mode in the dashboard menu; in it, the standard traction is the least intrusive, and the engine, on the contrary, is especially responsive. And forward, even in dense Moscow traffic, the number on the speedometer will drop below two hundred only in standing traffic jams and at traffic lights.
Footrests, pedals, every detail is the height of elegance and grace
The character of the engine is somewhat similar to the Yamaha MT-09, adjusted for less hysteria, twitchiness and smaller volume, which probably accounts for the slight advantage of the “nine” engine at the bottom. In general, until this year, the Street Triple had few competitors, except for Yamaha only MV Agusta, but this year KTM showed up with its 790 Duke, and next year we will probably see the Bavarian F850R, which is about to be announced.
The city vehicle doesn't need wind protection, but after two hundred on the speedometer you have to rest on the tank
Be that as it may, the Street Triple is incredibly fast, obedient and thoroughly British, and the magnificent Brembo four-piston radial-mounted opposed calipers and adjustable suspension only add to the charm. I don’t know how things are with the cheaper versions, but the RS can definitely be considered the standard, both among its younger brothers and among its classmates.
The sharp tail is elegant, but, as often happens in such cases, the rear wing here works for three
Is it worth taking? Most likely, yes, with the only difference that for a long and meaningful relationship, and others with him are impossible, it is better to take RS, and for a romance of 2-3 years, a cheaper version will do, the price on the secondary market is less tied to the richness of the equipment , and a lower price will certainly interest a larger number of potential buyers.

Repair and tuning
Due to the complex design, independent repairs are difficult, and in some cases undesirable. But there are no problems with tuning!
Repair
The Triumph Street Triple is reliable and problems rarely arise with it. You can do all the maintenance yourself, but for major repairs it is better to contact a dealer who has the necessary equipment and tools.
Spare parts
There are no problems finding spare parts; official dealers have almost everything, and what they don’t have will always be delivered to order. But original parts are expensive, and there are few non-original parts - mostly consumables.
Tuning
Triumph offers a thick catalog of tuning options for all of its models, and the Street Triple is no exception. The prices for many items in the catalog are steep, but the choice of tuning from third-party manufacturers is small, so owners have no choice.
Motorcycle modifications
In addition to the standard version, there is a modification Triumph Street Triple R. It is built on the same base, but has a more advanced chassis with improved suspension (a full range of adjustments included), radial brakes and red paint. The R version is positioned as a racing version, and it really shows decent results on the track.
Semantics
After all, time is a completely ruthless instrument that rarely benefits anyone: the cynical biological clock unemotionally measures the period of stay on this planet allotted to everyone by fate. In most cases, over the years you do not become healthier, more resilient, stronger, slimmer (add to the list), all these are just pathetic maxims - that is, reflections and manifestations of human self-pity. Exceptions are Chuck Norris, cognac and wine.
That is why the Speed Triple, as ancient as a hundred Egyptian pyramids, even in its latest iteration, does not produce more than 140 hp with a 1050 cm3 displacement per 211 kilograms of curb weight, while the noticeably more recent StreetTriple produces 123 hp. with 765 “cubes”, and there is also only 183 kilograms of curb weight: 28 kilograms minus is a weighty argument in every sense! But it’s not only and not so much about numbers, but about sensations. Say, 50 kilograms for a girl is a good indicator?
Yes, provided that you are not an ardent fan of anorexia, but if we are talking about a first-grader, then this is already too much... The same is the case with StreetTriple: 123 hp. – not the most lethal indicator by modern standards. But here all the “horses” are very competently “scattered” throughout the entire speed range, and after 8000 rpm they explode in a real unbridled herd - no gentlemanly preferences, refined manners and other Oxford intelligence - the engine output is rather more correctly compared with British football fans after the defeat of their beloved teams.
Showa's fully adjustable inverter has one drawback: it doesn't have the magic Ohlins name that removes at least 3 seconds from your lap time. In reality, you are unlikely to feel any discomfort.
A “Christmas tree” with a full range of adjustments for everything cannot by definition be the subject of criticism. If you are not satisfied with something about her, consult a psychiatrist.
True, unlike the island ultras, here the engineers did an excellent “educational” job: 5 engine operating modes, an electronic throttle grip, a tuned chassis with a “gypsy” set: Ohlins in the rear, but Showa in the front, monoblock Brembo, “evil” » rake – that is, the angle of the steering column and the “advanced” position of the pilot ultimately create one of the most delicious “cocktails” on the market called the “mid-sized three-cylinder naked”. Spicy. With exquisite taste. British. As often happens in life, good makeup can sometimes lead to surprises.
Here I mean that on the test we had the most stuffed version - RS, hence all the most delicious, including the laptimer and quickshifter, although it was one-sided and seemed to me somewhat rough in operation. The R version has already been noticeably trimmed by marketers: the suspension is only Showa, minus one engine operating mode (Track), the engine has been deprived of 5 hp, the quickshfitter has been removed and given to the additional accessories department... But much more has been saved in the S version: another 5 liters have been cut off .s., there are only two engine operating modes - Rain and Road, suspension adjustments are minimized and, the saddest thing in the stock version - the old-style dashboard, no “tablets”.
On the other hand, the “base” in our market will cost 650,000 rubles, while the RS version will cost 850,000. Somewhere in between these values will lie the middle version – R, which seems to me the most rational purchase, especially considering its equipment, which is globally inferior to the “senior” version only in the absence of a quickshifter. And all the “missing” horses are pure marketing, because in fact the “hardware” is the same and specially trained guys can easily return the “shortage”.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like any complex technique, the Street Triple 657 has both strengths and weaknesses. But the former are expressed much more clearly, which was one of the reasons for the popularity of this model.
Advantages
- Accelerating dynamics . It is not inferior to “liter” sportbikes, at least in the speed range up to 120-140 km/h.
- Wind protection . It is there, which is already atypical for naked bikes - the standard “visor” does its job well. But those who like to drive fast often put the windshield higher.
- Brakes . Tenacious and grippy, they effectively stop the motorcycle even at high speed, and the ABS system adds confidence.
- Torque . The bike boasts confident traction throughout almost the entire rev range (from about 4000 rpm).
- Long first gear . If desired, you can start from a standstill, unscrewing the gas to the cutoff, and switch to second at speeds over 100 km/h.
Flaws
- Price . Original spare parts and tuning for the Triumph Street Triple are expensive, and there are almost no non-original parts.
- The motor gets very hot . This is its design feature, but in hot weather the fan runs almost constantly, usually turning off only when driving fast on the highway.
- No adjustments on the standard version. At the same time, the suspension is stiff, and every road bump is felt.
Perfectionist
2015 onwards, 675 cm3, 106 l. pp., 182 kg
(curb weight), 240 km/h, 797,000 rub.

>>There are not many things in the world that get better with age. The small list of expensive wines and cognacs, as well as classic cars, has recently been joined by Triumph, which introduced the new Street Triple back in 2012.
More precisely, the model itself debuted back in 2007, and in 2012, having gone through global changes, it actually “froze” in the same form and format in which we know it today. And now, three years later, the motorcycle is still just as relevant and interesting, without requiring any modifications or interventions. However, Hinckley thought differently and released a slightly more “evil” version – Triumph Street Triple RX...
Definitely, lovers of five o'clock tea know a lot about good motorcycles! While the Japanese spend a long time and meticulously creating new models of medium-sized naked bikes, the British have long made one of the best motorcycles in this class today - the Triumph Street Triple! And its RX modification is another loud slap in the face to its island competitors.
For those who skipped our test in April 2013, let me remind you of the main components of a classic English naked bike with a pronounced sporty accent and excellent manners. So, we take expensive and high-quality chassis components (Kayaba, Nissin, Brembo), dilute them with first-class Pirelli Diablo Rosso tires, a little reinforced brake hoses to taste...
Yes, I almost forgot about the quickshifter and switchable ABS! SAI multi-point electronic fuel injection is responsible for the precise operation of the engine, and for particularly demanding and fast guys, Street Triple has... Laptimer!
A huge dial tachometer is the main element of the British dashboard. Its readings are easy to read even from a kilometer away... However, the LCD display also has excellent information content
This exquisite performance from the British is completed by an almost 700 cc three-cylinder engine with a pronounced “bottom”, “tasty” and “meaty” middle and not the saddest character at high speeds - exactly what an angry and intolerant city naked needs!
In the RX modification, the British further emphasized the sportbike roots of the model, so the entire tail section, including the subframe, moved here from the Triumph Daytona 675R. It seems that the designers also borrowed the pilot's seat practically without changes. I must say that this had almost no effect on the comfort of the latter, but now the rider is definitely closer to the motorcycle. And in every sense.
The three-cylinder engine from Hinckley has a very predictable smooth character. For my taste, the engine could use a little more horsepower... On the other hand, the available arsenal within the class is more than enough.
Owner reviews
Before Triumph, I rode an old Honda CBR600, I wanted something more modern and fresh. There were several options that fit into a budget of about 600k; Street Triple seemed the most interesting among them, so I took it. I skated the 2022 and 2022 seasons, I’m happy as an elephant, the spendthrift is fire. I've already done 14k km, no problems, just changing the oil. I went to the dealer for all my questions, the warranty will end by next season - I’ll find another service, otherwise the prices at the dealers are not bad. Maxim, Moscow.
The Triumph Street Triple 675 is generally the best in its class, lighter than a liter both in numbers and in handling, and at speeds up to 150-160 mph it is no worse. The motorcycle is from 2014, the mileage is already over 40 thousand, the only repairs are the replacement of the clutch assembly. Arthur, Krasnodar.
A mot with an unusual design, not for everyone, I personally like it. At first I thought about taking the Triumph Bonneville, but I saw the Street Triple and fell in love at first sight. The dynamics are crazy, the brakes are tenacious. The downside is that the seating position for someone with a height of 197 cm is not very comfortable; after a couple of hours, your back and arms become numb. Evgeniy, Yuzhnouralsk.
PS
And there are also the guys from Mattighofen who profess a different slogan - Ready to Race, and soon the world will see a mid-sized naked bike - the KTM 790. It seems that the life of an “Englishman” in the market will not be so easy and cloudless, those who want to eat well and eat here in assortment...

FAQ
- How is it quality? They say different things about English technology. Judging by the reviews, there are no problems with quality. Speed Triple is a very reliable bike.
- Can it be ridden on the track like sportbikes? Yes. This model feels equally at home on city streets and on the race track.
- Is it expensive to maintain? Maintenance costs a moderate amount, comparable to Japanese motorcycles. But repairs and tuning will be expensive.
Satisfaction
However, all these calculations remain just numbers on paper, you just need to switch the engine operating mode to Track: compact, like a millionaire dwarf, Tom Cruise and angry, like a dozen mothers-in-law, the Street Triple RS instantly brings a smile on your face and a persistent reluctance to return the motorcycle to the dealer . Starting from city streets and ending with a go-kart track, you get a full package of pleasure, seasoned only with a slight bitterness from the fashionable, but not folding, vintage mirrors on the ends of the steering wheel, which are somewhat in the way in really dense traffic.
The multifunctional instrument panel is a privilege of the R and RS versions. The basic version is equipped with the same “toolbox”, however, with expanded functionality in the form of two ignition maps – Road and Rain.
The backlight contrast changes automatically depending on the lighting, you can choose any design style. The RS version also has a laptimer. Of all the ignition maps, the most interesting is the Rider option (not available for the stock version), where you can independently select your preferred settings and, for example, disable traction control and ABS.
Otherwise, everything is great: the English all inclusive package is noticeably different from the Turkish and Egyptian offers: the whiskey here will be real, as well as brewed tea, and no dubious bags! The Street Triple RS will a priori exceed the capabilities of most owners and, in the hands of a professional, will be able to “drink the blood” of many owners of liter sportbikes even on the track, not to mention the city!
Monoblock Brembos are also available only in the R and RS versions, respectively. It is curious that in the middle version it is Brembo M4.32, and in the RS version it is Brembo M50. Stoke is the most “orphan”, where the British added a “traditional” one, like Nissin oatmeal.
In fact, the guys from Hinckley pushed what was already one of the most successful mid-sized naked bikes to new heights, generously added electronics that had already become almost mandatory, and raised the power bar by another 16% compared to its predecessor (in the RS version). And the new dashboard in the style of a large tablet does not give rise to criticism, except that I would simplify the interface for working with traction control a little; with one click of a button this “insurer” will not be able to retire.
By and large, the Street Triple RS chassis is a complete copy of the Triumph Daytona sportbike, so the limits of this naked bike are like those of a sportbike. And like one of the best sportbikes. The Street Triple RS does not have the “traditional” problems with ground clearance that plague many road models. The stock Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa also clearly hints at the capabilities of the motorcycle. Only a current WSBK pilot can complain about the lack of efficiency of monobloc Brembos...
At the world presentation of the new model, held in London, Paul Stroud, head of the company's commercial division, used a slogan that was not modest, but largely reflected the essence of the new model - The street will never be the same again - the streets of the city will never be the same. Of course, there are much more aggressive “comrades” on the market, but these are already “high school students,” and in the high school format, the English bully has become even more dangerous for competitors and, at the same time, noticeably friendlier for its owners.
The Street Triple RS is a true wheelie master. In Track mode, traction control practically does not interfere, reactions to the electronic throttle are clear and predictable, the second gear here is quite “working”, only a little help from the clutch is required. Moreover, with some persistence, the motorcycle is quite capable of doing wheelies in third gear!
Strictly speaking, in such a power unit scheme, the “British” has only two rivals: MV Agusta Brutale and Yamaha MT-09A. True, the “Italian” plays in a completely different price audience, and the “Japanese” is 135 cm3 larger and not so refined. First of all, in terms of controllability. This year, the “nine” finally received a much-needed chassis upgrade and as soon as the opportunity arises, we will try to arrange a head-to-head duel: Triumph Street Triple RS vs Yamaha MT-09A.
Conclusion
Triumph Street Triple is a true gentleman from Great Britain, a dude with sophisticated manners. But underneath the sleek exterior are powerful muscles that make this motorcycle one of the best in its class . It's worth a look if technical performance is as important to you as style.
