Nice review. I'm a retired guy, 160 lbs, and the owner of a 2010 675 STR since new. Light weight, strong torquey engine, and fine handling were the reasons I bought this machine and still love it to this day. Over the years it has gained a Sargent sports seat, Arrow 3-1 exhaust, Ohlins TR805 shock with 95 Nmm spring to go with a KyleUsa racing linear shock linkage (solo rider) which completely transformed the rear suspension and even rides smoother on bumpy roads. It also has a SuperSprox 520 conversion with a 2T larger rear sprocket for even harder pull in top gear while revving only 200 rpm higher at legal highway speeds. It has the upgraded R/R and a manual APE cam chain tensioner, and carbon fiber bellypan and frame inserts. Lots more bling. The only nasty problem I had was an intermittent break in the wiring in the ignition harness going to the starter circuit relay. I replaced it with a heavier guage wire, but really the ignition switch should be in a stationary position where there is no flexing. I do my own tuning with TuneEcu, and valve servicing. No need to purchase the excellent new 765 because mine is not too far off and I dislike all the electronic nannies including the over-hyped ABS. A big thumbs up for the fantastic new Dunlop Q3 sport tires. Simply awesome and the rear tire really lasts. The Nissin 4-pot radial front brakes are also superb if bled properly and use EBC double H sinter pads; one-finger will howl the front tire.
i purchased a 2015 about a year ago and put 12,000 miles on it from feb '17-nov '17 lol now im chomping at the bit here in fridgid NJ waiting for the damn winter to be over with. Love isnt the word....
ABS being standard fitment now is slowly changing attitudes, but like EFI there'll always be those who choose to do without it. It's a good safety feature though, especially on the road where the unexpected could happen at any time.
Great review , particularly coming from a 675R owner which gives a better 1:1 review. I've had an '11 675R from new and love it and have been waiting for a few more 765R reviews and this pretty much told me all I needed to know - thanks Personally I found the RS a bit too revvy to ride in a direct back to back comparison with the 675R. You might have just pointed me in the right direction for it's replacement ..
Very nice comprehensive review with good presentation style. I'm considering getting an older 675R (2013-2016) versus the new model. Based on your experience and since you own a 675, do you feel the new 765 is worth the extra money with all of the upgrades? Cheers.
Thanks! Kris will reply to this, he owns the 675R, but for me I think the 765 is worth the upgrade but the one I reviews had brake issues, which detracted from the bike. I put that down to poor prep by the importer more than anything, so I'd suggest try and get a ride one yourself. Cheers - Jeff.
Hey Moto, Kris here. If you're looking at an older Street Triple 675 R versus the new Street Triple 765 I think the new version is the clear winner, it's quite a significant upgrade over the outgoing model, so the main thing to consider would be the price difference between the two, and your budget. If you're comparing the Daytona 675 R with the Street Triple 765 the specs and performance are much closer, so it's less clear cut and probably comes down to ergonomics and styling preference. The older 675 engine has quite a different characteristic to the new 765 too, so it's worth testing the two out if you ask me. The 765 is very well fuelled, and offers a very direct connection between the throttle and engine, with a real feeling of velocity, which is more like Yamaha's MT-09 and MV Agusta's triple offerings, no doubt thanks to all featuring RbW. The suspension and brake package are also a big upgrade over the older Street Triple Rs. The older 675 has a more flowing and somewhat lazier (at lower rpms) power delivery, but is really characterful, and with less power on tap you can push a little bit more without getting into the crazy illegal speeds, and still feel you're really hustling along.
Thank you Jeff and Kris for your thoughtful and detailed input which will help me in making a wise decision. I agree that riding both bikes makes sense and the cost factor between older but less costlier versus the new bike will come into play. Cheers.
Thanks Mike! The seat is pretty comfortable, but I'd probably look at one of the comfort seats if you're doing the big rides. I run a Triumph comfort seat on my bike and it really helps for longer distances.
Hi there, I weigh 94kg and sorry I can't remember the settings from back then, generally we get them stock and go from there I dare say slightly firmer for the track test. Great bike! Jeff.
We were refilling 12-15L for 250km, but that was mainly flat out riding. The front brake issues we experienced would be solved by bleeding the brakes. It's not typical of this brake setup, so following usual servicing and maintenance it's unlikely you'd ever suffer the same problem. We just mention it as that's how we got the bike for testing.
Shorter, although it's hard to make a direct comparison, apart from me feeling it didn't really need to be quite so short for a road bike, unless you really like revving a bike in first - which is not my cup of tea. It's not really a big issue however, just something I noted, and the engine is torquey enough in second to handle shifting up earlier. There would be ratio information available somewhere on the web I'm sure. Upgrading from a Street Triple 675 to a 765 is a pretty immense upgrade, the engine characteristics are very different (so a it's a bit more subjective to me, if you aren't just after outright power and torque), but in all other regards the 765 is notably better, and features like TC and ride modes are icing on the cake.
Very good for a RbW system, Triumph have done a good job in this regard. It did have an occasional slight rough spot as the revs dropped past 4000rpm on a closed throttle though, but super smooth and linear everywhere else, including transitioning back onto the throttle.
BikeReview.com.au Can you advise which bike with an upright or somewhat upright seating position has the smoothest throttle response on/ off or otherwise that you have ridden so far?
What in Gods name is the purpose of turning the auto cancelling indicators off? It’s hard enough trying to get people to actually use them the last thing we need is a moron that left his blinker on for miles
bro....your body position in some of the still shots around corners is Dangerously bad. Your knee is dragging but your upper body is all twisted up...meaning your bike is leaned a way too much for your speed. Forget the knee drag until you learn to get your body on the inside of the curve. Your bike review is excellent though....

Sounds like an awesome set up mate - nice ride! Thanks for sharing. Jeff.

Over hyped ABS... We should totally remove that shit on cars too... Lol ffs.

Fantastic Review . I felt you are not trying to sell the motorcycle but trying to explain all the features in details . Awesomely done....
Great info for this bike! I’m in the market for a new used bike so this video was perfect! Thanks broski!👍😎

Thanks - good luck!
i can not wait to buy one this summer
The best review of this bike... congrats! 👍
Nice review. Too bad they removed the analog tachometer. Some of us do like quiet bikes by the way.

Great vid and info, thanks from Montreal!
Thanks Mike!
Very nice review.
Excellent review how was the seat for big Km riding
Thanks Mike! The seat is pretty comfortable, but I'd probably look at one of the comfort seats if you're doing the big rides. I run a Triumph comfort seat on my bike and it really helps for longer distances.
Nice review, thanks. Little late to the party though.
Hi Sean, we could only fit it into our schedule late unfortunately. Cheers.
they didnt include the shifter to differentiate it from the RS, thats marketing. but if you want one just option it
May I ask how much do you weight and at what setting is the suspension?
Hi there, I weigh 94kg and sorry I can't remember the settings from back then, generally we get them stock and go from there I dare say slightly firmer for the track test. Great bike! Jeff.
@@BikeReviewcomau Thanks for the answer! 👍
Hi, any information for the fuel efficiency of 765 R? Also, any way to solve the front brake issue you mentioned? Thanks.
We were refilling 12-15L for 250km, but that was mainly flat out riding. The front brake issues we experienced would be solved by bleeding the brakes. It's not typical of this brake setup, so following usual servicing and maintenance it's unlikely you'd ever suffer the same problem. We just mention it as that's how we got the bike for testing.
How short is the first gear compare to Striple 675R? Is it worth the upgrade from 675 to 765?
Shorter, although it's hard to make a direct comparison, apart from me feeling it didn't really need to be quite so short for a road bike, unless you really like revving a bike in first - which is not my cup of tea.

Fueling smoothness? On off throttle response?
Hi there - fuelling is good, big improvement, smooth on initial opening and no snatch. It's nice on and off.
How was the on off throttle response?
Very good for a RbW system, Triumph have done a good job in this regard. It did have an occasional slight rough spot as the revs dropped past 4000rpm on a closed throttle though, but super smooth and linear everywhere else, including transitioning back onto the throttle.
BikeReview.com.au Can you advise which bike with an upright or somewhat upright seating position has the smoothest throttle response on/ off or otherwise that you have ridden so far?
Don't forget the smooth and light clutch.
Good lord, what's up with the contrast? :)
It's all about the bike!
Right you are matey, carry on :)
Great bike indeed :)
You don't let us hear the bike in this review? Really?

Feels like you're repeating yourself a lot during this video. Was the hardest one to watch. I skipped for the first time on any of your videos.
Thanks for letting us know, we'll try and avoid that in future!
Nah, you're good, sometimes I miss things the first time. 😎
