765 Back On Triumph!

Hey guys!


Finally back on my beloved street triple!

After I sold my 675R I kind of regretted it. I bought a 2011 Tuono V4 (again) and had a blast but the constant worrying if it was going to explode or not was weighing down on me.

I ended up selling my Tuono and my S1000XR and picked up a demo 2020 Street Triple RS! Added in the small screen, frame sliders and a Yoshimura AT2 exhaust (On its way).

I test rode the 765 quite a few times before pulling the trigger but I am very happy with it. A nice improvement on the 675.


Few minor things that annoy me that ill need to learn to live with.

1. Defaulting to road mode after every ride.
My Tuono, XR and many other bikes don't do this. I'm so used to just getting on and riding, pulling wheelies etc that I don't think about changing modes before setting off.

Trying to pull a clutch up wheelie only to be slammed back to the ground was frustrating and embarrassing. Currently annoys the shit out of me but will have to develop a new habit.


2. Dash design.
Initially the dash design annoyed me as I preferred the 2018 style more but I actually quite like it now. I'd also prefer if the info on the fuel tray showed - Distance travelled, avg fuel consumption and then remaining range. I don't find instantaneous fuel consumption useful at all.


3. Bluetooth in the bike settings but not actually activated...
Was quite excited about these features and then only realised that you need to buy the module to be able to use them. Then once you have the module it all depends on your country and phone model and gopro model and headset etc to actually gain full advantage of the features. Not exactly enticing me to buy the module since I have no idea if all those features would work with my devices.


Overall this bike is bloody amazing and the "issues" I have are not life changing and I'll just have to adapt.


Below is a few pics and a video of my initial test ride. I will be uploading more content soon!

 

Thanks very much!

Coming from the Tuono. XR and MT10 etc I've had no choice but to learn to control those monsters! Wheelies for days, but they sure are fun!

 

Yeah its pretty frustrating tbh...Was hoping there would be some update or way around it but guess we are out of luck for now.

The Speed Triple 1200RS was the same. Quite annoying.
