FIRST RIDE: 2020 Triumph Street Triple 765RS, RM68k

The all-new 2020 Triumph Street Triple 765RS, which was launched earlier this month at the 2019 Shell MotoGP at the Sepang International Circuit, is priced at RM67,900. That’s literally the same sticker price as before, but the 2020 model comes with a raft of updates, both mechanically and aesthetically.

To start, the first thing to catch the eye is the new LED headlights, as well as vents featured on each side of the seat cowl, a design inspired by Moto2 race machines. Power comes from the same 765 cc, inline-triple engine but is tweaked to give 9% more torque in the mid-range.

The engine makes 121 hp at 11,750 rpm and 79 Nm of torque at 9,350 rpm, and it’s now Euro 5 compliant. Similarly enhanced is the six-speed gearbox, which now includes shorter first and second gears to improve acceleration and an up-and-down quickshifter is standard. Engine response is improved thanks to lighter internals, and the bike’s dry weight is 166 kg.
