    The new Triumph Street Triple 765 is much more beautiful than the MT-09 SP but Triumph messed up (IMHO); they went from 45mpg on the 2022 model to now, around 40mpg for the 2023/2024 model. That's not impressive at all, given that the Yamaha gets about 50mpg -- which, by the way, is right on the heels of the Trident 660 in mpg. And, you still get 9 more ft lbs of torque than the 765, and your running only about 4400 rpms at 65mph whereas, the 765 is at 5400 rpms. Now you know where the gas is going in the street triple (with 1000 more combustion events per minute at freeway speeds), not to mention that this will also lead to a shorter life span for the 765 with its extremely short or much lower gearing than the Yamaha and even in Triumphs's previous Street Triple iterations.

    Made a couple of mistakes on my OP and KZread wouldn't let me edit again for some reason. I got to test ride the Triumph 765 RS and it's actually 5500 rpms at 65 mph. So that's actually 1100 more combustion events *per cylinder* per minute ...so 3300 more total per minute than the MT-09. That's also 500 rpms higher than the Trident 660 at the same speed (65 mph). Anyway, despite this and having said that, the engine was incredibly smooth (like silky smooth). Best sounding 3 cylinder, IMHO. I really loved nearly everything about the bike, just not the mpg figures. It was very very quick but not a necessarily a torque monster. I wouldn't mind having one after riding it. I totally felt like people were looking at me when I was riding it. That was so cool! 😎😎😎

    MT 09 SP, 2021. This has to be my favorite ride of of the 9 bikes I've owned over the years. I took to refining it's hooligan edge with side covers, a belly pan, a small smoke bug screen, bar end mirrors, heated grips, a rear hugger in the gloss black to match the front fender, a sturdy set of crash bars & axle pucks, along with a front fork mounted damper. Little tweaks here & there. The suspension is superb...well worth the extra dough versus the standard MT 09. It'll eat curves all day long and the cruise control make the straits a happy affair. My only bitch is it's 3.7 gallon tank--offset a bit by it's great gas mileage. I like the hidden exhaust which offers a clean look on both sides of the bike. It'll go two up, but the pillion rider can't be very comfortable. Master Of Torque. 150 mph top speed. A head turner...I own going to the garage for the express purpose to just look at it...frequently. I call her Zoë. Yaoza!

    You’re right about that. I work in an industry that deals with musical instruments - and Yamaha excels there. And while all their instruments are of good quality their reputation is built around the consistency more so than “always being the best”. Every Yamaha instrument is just exactly like every other Yamaha instrument and that means a lot to high level musicians. I have Honda motorcycle myself and it checks off all the boxes I specifically needed and Honda’s reliability with motorcycles is legendary. However I have no doubt that when you get any Yamaha bike you know exactly what you’re getting.

    Had this bike for a year now and it ticks so many boxes. The frame, engine and quick shifter is a very capable package. Like any bike it's not perfect. You need a aftermarket screen just to get the air off your lower body. The seat gets sore after a hour and being a triple engine is buzzy something that you feel though your hands when touring all day. I don't recommend it if you live anywhere with a lot of speed camera. It's character just eggs you on to ride fast.

If you can handle the weight of the bike, it is nearly 200 kilos and can be a handful for a rank beginner on his first ever bije. 3. If you can handle the height, which is not much but for a beginner biker who is less than lets say 165cms or 5'6", it can be a handful too.
