The “base” model of Triumph’s middleweight sports bike range, the 2017 Triumph Street Triple 765 S is now on sale at a price of RM52,900, joining its siblings, the ‘R’ LRH Low Ride Height and top-of-the-line ‘RS’ models, priced at RM55,900 and RM66,900, respectively. All prices include GST, but exclude road tax, insurance and registration.
Launched during a special track day session at Sepang International Circuit, the media were given the opportunity to test two models on the track – the 765 RS, which we first took on a ride during its international media launch in Catalunya, Spain, and the 765 S, where we had a single session, enough to give us an initial ride impression.
Carrying the Hinckley firm’s trademark inline-triple, the 765 S puts out 111 hp at 11,250rpm, and 73 Nm of torque at 9,100rpm from the DOHC, liquid-cooled, 12-valve power plant. Power gets to the ground via a six-speed gearbox and chain final drive.
Standard equipment on the 765 S is two riding modes – rain and road – with ABS and Triumph Traction Control, and the instrument panel is the same monochrome LCD affair taken from the previous generation Street Triple 675. Suspension at the front is a new specially developed and tuned upside-down Showa SFF front suspension with 110mm of travel, and a preload-adjustable Showa mono shock at the rear with a piggyback reservoir and 124mm rear wheel travel.
Shod with Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa rubber, the 765 S has braking done by Nissin four-pot calipers in front, with a single Brembo caliper at the back. There are two colour options for the 2017 Triumph Street Triple 765 S – Diablo Red and Phantom Black – and LED DRLs are fitted in the re-shaped headlights.

Personally don’t need that much of a machine… looking forward to the future Triumph 250cc… :)
Paid the deposit for this machine. It is a very, very good bike to say the least after test riding it extensively. Compared to the immediate competition, it felt right at home the first 100 yards you ride it – the handling is amazing and felt right immediately, such an easy bike to ride. And the throttle response was spot on – no flat spots and no lurching or rushing. You get as much (linear) power as you twist (the throttle) and the power is more than most will need except for the crazies who need more or the track fans who never find enough power.
To those who may think it is too much – different horses for different courses.
All enthusiastic bikers should test ride it to compare with their current bikes, they would be surprised.
can you comment a little about the pricing?
did you get the RS model – how much and what kind of offer/gifts did u get? or how about loan rate – since u mentioned “deposit”
Does it have to be so ugly? gosh this is really bad, especially comparing to new models. haha, id choose a 80’s kawa anytime over this for looks alone.
too ugly
Beautiful and ‘affordable’ super-bike. Unfortunately I don’t ride. So I would probably park it in my living room. Goes well with my decor.
Bella !
