I think the Street Trip got a free pass here MCN. I love Triumph, I own a Speed Triple RS and I love it. But if Triumph wants to compete with the Supersports, let them put some effort into it and build a proper Daytona 765! By this logic, next time you do a naked shootout, you'll have to add the HD Panamerica (and other "adventure" bikes). People who buy those tend to use them for the same purpose as us naked bike riders. Again, no hate on the ST or Triumph, just don't give them free passes.

They compete with the v2... This is a weird video, no Duke 990, no xsr900 gp. Which belongs in the class, but instead they bring out an expensive ducati v2??

@rns6889 nah this video makes sense since these are the current crop of bikes used in wssp but the triumph should have been the last one they bring because it's not really a supersport, it was homolgated because the class was dying and manufacturers didn't want to dump r&d into new sport bikes.

@rns6889 also the striple was always a daytona with bars and no plastics whereas the others are dedicated road machines that aren't even close to the triple on a circuit

@@pmwaffle9348 we shouldn't let world superbike classes determine real world categories, I don't think I need to remind you that the price tag and the performance are vastly different. I know it races with an r6, but in the real world it has 50 percent more displacement, and 30 more horsepower. Its priced the same as a bmw s1000rr! Think about it.. It's the same class as a gsxr750, not a gsxr600r..

@@rns6889 no disagreements there but something like an r6 (all used now) are the same as a used v2 or mv. Plus supersport is determined by race class no matter how you cut it. Realistically, 3/4 here are sportbikes and the trumpet is a naked/sport naked but in the past a duc 748/9 were far more expensive than the 600s yet are technically in the same class. We'll definitely see evolution and have the bikes more competitive on road in the future but this is what (most of) the current crop are like on the road. Especially since the two italians + the r6(!) after ironing out some kinks that were present after the first year of the rule changes.

Is the Kawasaki top speed limited to 144 mph or something? Either that or the quarter mile trap speed is incorrect at 142,63 mph because if it’s doing its -almost- top speed at the quarter then that’s quite impressive. However I think the real figure is 132 mph or thereabouts so probably a typo…

its very short geared. but i think that having taller gearing would make the bike less alive if that makes sense.

there is no way that kawi is doing 10.3 in a 1/4 @ 142mph. V2 is a faster bike and wont even do that.

Loll yeah the kawasaki mph in the quarter is about 126mph

@@matthewclark2341 they said the Kawi is the fastest accelerating bike here ... the V2 only has higher top end power.... the Kawa is very short geared for acceleration at the expense of top speed. I have timed my own ZX-6R will do 125 MPH at 8.4 seconds as measured on GPS ... so 2 seconds later at 140 MPH is doable.... In fact I will test it tomorrow.

Yeah probably mid 130s. I do believe it can do a 10,3. It is so easy to launch hard.

I dont see the Mv agusta F3, fail... We need the comparison

Mv agusta f3 800?

765rs will be in my Garage for sure 😌

Not a supersport test ,but a great and fun video overall .

Glad you enjoyed it

Great video! Really hope Triumph makes a 765rr or a new street legal Daytona 765. Just wondering why the Mv Agusta F3 RR is not here in the comparison…

Would love to consider a cbr600 but Honda Australia are absolutely joking at $29k AUD vs the Kawasaki at under $18k ride away?

It's so good to see proper Supersport bikes coming out again. I liked the justification of the Triumph and with the absence of the Daytona, I can't disagree.

Only thing I'm afraid of for triumph vs kawasaki and Honda is the reliability

Modern Triumph reliability is actually very good. Best of the European brands, and relatively close to Kawasaki. (KTM, Aprilia, BMW and MV-Agusta have way more reliability problems. Although they still make very nice bikes)

I had a second gen 765RS for almost three years, I've put about 18k kms on it, out of which about 5000 where on track and the rest fun sunday blast plus the odd trip once a year with friends around Europe. I have had ZERO mechanical issues with the bike. The only issue I can think of that did not hinder the functionality of the bike was that once of the reed valve screws came loose at about 21k kms on the odo and made the engine tick at idle. Took the tank off, did the major service where I replaced the air filter, spark plugs and checked the valves. ALL of the were in spec. Sold the bike to a local guy who never takes it out of "Rain mode" and commutes to work with it and has a rear tire comparable to a 5th grade geometry problem. Lots of people are upgrading to 3rd gen 765RS because of the color option and the IMU. If you can find one for a good deal don't hesitate - it's a gem of a machine.

2 bikes that are no longe being updated or made in street legal version, 2 sport street bikes. Doesn't fit here, the supersport is dead, I think we should all move on to the middle weight naked, they're more practical. But I think we could do with their fully faired editions.. Would be great.

I recon true supersports (in-line 4 600's) will be highly desirable in the not too distant future. Emissions rules will have killed-off the class, and older coined-up riders who rode them back in the day will pine for them again, after getter bored with sterile 200bhp superbikes that can't be spanked on the road. They'll become like 2 strokes are right now. I'm keeping hold of my 2009 zx6r, but not to sell, but to rev the tits off it on a Sunday and put a huge smile on my face.

On the specs you showed us the Kawasaki was the fastest or is that a mistake? 🤔

Fastest accelerating... but lowest top speed though... it does cheat with ridiculously short gearing from 2019 onwards. Before I bought my ZX-6R, I went with the intention to buy a ZX-10R... and found the smaller bike to be pulling much harder below 60 MPH... and because I live in a mountainous area with no highways, I took the ZX-6R instead, because it felt faster pulling out of the hairpin bends. No point in going for a ZX-10R if I have no straights to use the 200 horses.

“In this episode we compare 2 world class super sport bikes with 2 other random bikes”

Weird how the pricing varies so much between countries. CBR is 29,418 AUD ride away V2 is 26,200 AUD ride away Zx6R is 17,948 AUD ride away RS is 20,890 AUD ride away I bought a brand new V2 , last November for 23,500 ride away special pricing. It was cheaper than a SuperSport S ! (25,000) Couldn’t be happier with it !
