P106 COMPARISON I MIDDLEWEIGHT NAKED-BIKE SHOOTOUT This one surprised all the testers, as we all thought it would be higher up on the list. The $12,795 ($13,410 as tested) Triumph Street Triple 765 RS is by far the sportiest of all the bikes here on test, and with good reason—it is es - sentially a stripped-down supersport weapon and provides the base for Triumph's racing efforts in series like WorldSSP and British Supersport. That persona gives the Triumph an edge when the road gets twisty, and the ergonomics reflect this. Brandon noted the Triumph was the least comfortable overall, and Ryan said the Triumph almost didn't fit the test, given how much sportier it was compared to the competition. For me, I loved the extra sharp - ness delivered by the racey chassis and ergos, and they grew on Nathon more towards the end of the day, despite him being a skeptic at first. 2025 TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE 765 RS ($13,410 AS TESTED) ENGINE Inline 3-cylinder 4-stroke DISPLACEMENT 765cc BORE X STROKE 78 x 53.4mm VALVETRAIN 12-valve, DOHC COOLING SYSTEM Liquid FUEL INJECTION Electronic fuel- injection system, ride-by-wire throttle COMPRESSION RATIO 13.25:1 MAX POWER (CLAIMED) 128 hp @ 12,000 rpm MAX TORQUE (CLAIMED) 59 lb-ft @ 9500 rpm EXHAUST 3-1 TRANSMISSION 6-speed CLUTCH Wet, multi-plate, slip and assist CHASSIS Aluminum-beam twin spar frame with two-piece high-pressure die-cast rear subframe T R I U M P H S T R E E T T R I P L E 7 6 5 R S 3 rd
