2018 TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE 765 RS FULL TEST P92 boots on. There's no real latch for you to hook your boot onto, so that's something simple that needs fixing by Triumph. It sounds a bit lame, but my gripes with the 765 are only tiny ones. That side stand, those mirrors in traffic, the little drop in revs when you let the clutch out from a stand still. Tiny things. That's because the overall package is just so bloody good, I'd have one of these things in an instant. So, for my final thoughts on the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS, read the first paragraph again.
