Triumph Street Triple (2007 to 2017)
Which model is worthwhile for whom

In 2007 it hits like a bomb and makes Triumph a huge success. To this day, the Street Triple convinces with its fantastic three-cylinder engine, the hoarse hiss and the outstanding elasticity. Time for a generation meeting.

Triumph Street Triple R (2007 to 2012)

A name to remember. “Just a small caption that unintentionally sums up the top test a good ten years ago. As the little sister of the iconic Speed ​​Triple, it also combines the best of both worlds: two-cylinder Schmalz and four-cylinder revving. The relationship is more of an optical nature, because it is technically based Street Triple on the super sports car Daytona 675. With its success, it was only a matter of time before the small three-cylinder engine powers other models. For the Street Triple, however, the engine is tamed a bit and rather optimized for a fuller torque curve. It didn’t hurt at all. The frame, swing arm, chassis and brakes also come from the Daytona – no bad genes, as can already be seen in MOTORRAD 19/2007. “Yes, there is, the world beyond the inline four-cylinder,” states the author.

He raves above all about the eponymous engine, because in speed ranges where the four-cylinder still takes a breather, the triple inspires with torque and a never-ending bite. And first the sound! On top of that, it scores with smoothness and controllability. But that already convinced the big Speed ​​Triple in the 90s. So what’s the excitement? Simple: The Street Triple can be had for 7,350 euros without being a cheap home. The test is therefore crowned with the best price-performance rating of 1.2 to date. Only the underdamped chassis and the low steering angle earn criticism. At least the former leaves nothing to be desired with the Street Triple R, which was added in 2008. A small facelift in mid-2009 gave the Streety, among other things, a longer swing arm, a new instrument cluster and new series tires. For the final model year 2012, the Street Triple is visually revised significantly, the unmistakable headlight is now giving way to a very angular design. Incomprehensible: An ABS is missing until the end, Triumph will only equip the successor model with it in 2013.

The first Triumph Street Triple saw the light of day in 2007.

The first Streety is also considered durable and reliable when used, provided regular maintenance and care. Only the alternator regulator should be changed according to a recall at the end of 2012. Vehicles that were used in racing should of course be examined more closely. The first-generation Street Triple still shows what it’s made of today: great handling and good manners. A real recommendation for anyone who can – or wants to do without ABS and traction control. Because with its motor, which both gently purrs along and rushes forward with a hissing bass, the little Triple offers beginners and professionals driving fun at a low price. Do you really need a Speed ​​Triple? After all, there was a difference of almost 4,000 euros between the stepsisters. Between 1,000 and 2,000 euros of this are left over on the used market. Those interested in triple get 26 additional horsepower for this, but they also have to move 30 additional kilos. More appropriate arguments for the large three-cylinder are therefore the higher-quality chassis elements, which offer a larger adjustment range. From an ergonomic point of view, too, the Speed ​​Triple is the more adult motorcycle. “If you only know the small one, you won’t miss the big one,” the tester sums up in the test at the time. This sentence is still valid to the present generation.

Market situation 2007 to 2012

The first-generation Street Triple offers a lot for the money as a used one. The good selection, low mileage and untampered conditions are pleasing. ABS only in the successor model.

Sample ad: EZ 03/2009, 18,000 km, white, HU 09/2019, first hand, gel seat bench, flyscreen, rear wheel stand, new front and rear brake pads, 3,500 euros (private offer from Bavaria)

Low price level. Offers start from 3,500 euros. There is an excellent selection of all years of construction from as little as 4,000 euros. The better equipped Street Triple R is a bit more expensive, the offers start just under 5,000 euros. Typical conversions include different mufflers, mini indicators, front spoilers and shorter license plate holders.

Triumph Street Triple R (2013 to 2016)

Hard to imagine, but true: Although the Street Triple has been stirring up the middle class for a few years at the end of 2012 and is no longer dewy in stores, it wins comparative tests as confidently as on the first day. Nevertheless, Hinckley decided to secure the impressive success of the MidsizeTriple with a major model update. A tightrope walk, because making the good even better often turns into the opposite. Here too? In fact, the fresh cell treatment changes the character of the bike more than meets the eye. Sure, the exhaust moves down to the swingarm, the trim parts are angular, the rear has become much crisper. The Streety finally has an ABS (optional, standard from model year 2015). The round headlights gave way to the pentagonal ones the year before. On the chassis side, there is hardly any component left on the other compared to the predecessor, less weight and better handling are in the specifications.

Because of this and certainly also because of the economy, the Daytona, which was already revised in 2013, is used again. The tank, frame, rear frame and wheels are now from the renovated athlete, and in combination with other measures, they save five kilograms in weight. With a full tank of 188 kilograms, the Street Triple R promises cheeky driving pleasure. But: Because of the changed wheel load distribution (among other things because of the exhaust), the R version weighs a whopping seven kilograms more than before on the front wheel, which moves the Streety away from the naked to the athlete group in terms of driving dynamics. Result: higher driving stability, more precise steering behavior, better feedback, but also a slight loss in terms of handiness. The steering head is slightly steeper, the caster is longer, the spring elements are optimized in the direction of sporty and taut. Nevertheless, the revised Street Triple does not have the homogeneity and balance of the original Street Triple. So got worse?

The second generation was offered from 2013.

No, more of a question of taste that used buyers have to answer individually. Because even if the mapping of the engine has been slightly modified, the response behavior has been softened at the expense of a spontaneous acceleration and the first gear has been translated a bit longer: the foundations of the 675 cubic three-cylinder remain untouched, delivering the perfect blend of sportiness, liveliness, acceleration, Elasticity and ease of rotation. The fact that it also uses almost half a liter less than its predecessor speaks for good coordination. Especially those who do not want to rule out a ride on the racetrack, resort to the revised generation and here of course the R version. With fully adjustable spring elements, the radially hinged fixed brake calipers and the minimally more toxic geometry, it offers a reliable and sporty overall package. For those who can do without the last tenth of a lead, the standard version with two-piston floating saddles and Kayaba spring elements that cannot be adjusted in the damping offers a wonderful compromise for everyday life. Nobody needs more naked.

Market situation from 2013 to 2016

According to the sales success, many street triples with side exhaust systems cavort in the vehicle markets. Fortunately, most of the specimens have ABS.

Sample ad: EZ 03/2013, 27,500 km, black, HU 06/2019, second hand, ABS, short license plate holder, LED indicators, slight signs of usage, 5,290 euros (dealer offer from North Rhine-Westphalia)

Medium price level. If you have less than 5,000 euros available, it will be difficult to find a Street Triple in acceptable condition. The R version costs around 800 euros more on average. The mileage varies greatly with the used offers. The Streetys were seldom moved more than 45,000 kilometers. Popular accessories: LED turn signals.

Triumph Street triple S (2017 to present)

At its premiere in 2007, one would never have suspected that a street triple engine would one day drive the Moto2 racing machines. The time has come next season: The triplet, which has been installed since 2017, has increased its displacement from 675 to 765 cubic and modified around 80 components, will do its laps on the World Cup tracks. With the latest update, the Street TripleAspirant has three options for the street. The S version on display marks the entry into the Streety world with 113 hp and 192 kilograms. Important: The Nakeds differ not only in their equipment, but also in their ergonomics. The driver on the R (118 hp, 190 kg) is already more sporty than on the S model. The most aggressive, however, accommodates the premium variant RS (123 PS, 190 kg) for its pilot. In this respect, it is not only worth taking a look at the data sheets, but also a seat sample before you finally fall in love with one of the three bikes. The fine manners that the three of them have in common ensure that it comes to this. The triples start discreetly quietly, the gears snap cleanly and precisely, the engines start smoothly at the lowest speeds, respond smoothly to gas commands, always run in a cultivated manner and burn the fuel from their 17.4 liter tank very moderately. Ranges well over 350 kilometers are not just a theoretical value.

Compared to the previous generation, the first and second gears are now a little shorter again, the main frame and engine position remained the same, the swing arm mounting moved four millimeters upwards. At its core, however, the 765 remains an equally nimble, cheeky and stable naked bike with front-heavy weight distribution. In terms of chassis and brakes, the new Streety family differs the most internally. The S provides a solid base (Showa spring elements, adjustable in the rear of the spring base; LCD cockpit; Nissin floating caliper brake), while the R drives forward with a sporty focus (Showa spring elements with adjustable rebound and compression damping, multi-level traction control, Brembo Fixed calipers, TFT display, anti-hopping clutch), real high-end material can only be found on the RS (Brembo M50 brake system; Ohlins shock absorber and higher-quality Showa fork, each fully adjustable; quickshifter, track driving mode, Belly pan etc).

The Street Triple S has been available since 2017. In the 2020 model year, a heavily revised RS will take to the streets.

So do you just follow behind with the base and should you use the RS if you don’t just want to see taillights? Not at all: The S is a lot of fun, offers good performance in every respect for the brisk country road gymnastics. Only when you let it run properly, when it comes down to tenths of a second, do the R and RS show their equipment and performance advantages. Then they can be decelerated more precisely, turn more precisely and stably around the corner, and fire more enthusiastically from the kink. With a view to the prices, one or the other buyer might seriously wonder how often one will be out on the last groove. Not only as new, the bikes separate up to 2,700 euros. The MOTORRAD endurance test of the RS has so far gone without any major problems. On some R and RS models, the left handlebar fitting has been replaced under guarantee.

Market situation from 2017 to today

Since the S, R and RS versions of the 765 Triumph Street Triple are the current generation, there are only a few used offers on the vehicle markets.

Sample ad: Triumph Street Triple R, EZ 04/2018, 4,300 km, white, HU 04/2020, first hand, manufacturer’s guarantee 2 years from EZ, original condition, 8,850 euros (dealer offer from Dresden)

High price level. Logically, with a model that is only available for the second season, the used prices are at a high level. One or two bargain hunters will still find what they are looking for and don’t have to worry about private offers, as long as the initial inspection took place properly: Then of course the manufacturer and follow-up guarantee still applies.

Which street triple for whom?

Ferdinand Heinrich (29), trainee: Even the first Street Triple had everything that makes a great naked bike. Distinctively reduced-cool optics, an addicting engine and light-footed handling. You quickly learn to appreciate these qualities of the lively StreetTriple. I’m now a big fan of the small three-cylinder, I would even prefer it to the big sister. Even without ABS, driving modes and quickshifter. Although the new models may be better driving, the 2007 Street Triple remains my favorite. A wicked looking twin headlamp has yet to be designed. Praktikant@motorradonline.de

Roman Kirschbauer (31), editor: The 2013 Street Triple was the first three-cylinder bike I ever rode. Since then, all four- and two-cylinder mid-range mopeds have had to provide even stronger arguments for me to captivate me. This perfect harmony of elasticity, acceleration and revving power of the 675 engine knocks me off my feet every time. Coupled with the front-heavy weight distribution, which conveys a full driving feeling and clear feedback, the ABS and the crisp chassis of the R, I (and my driver’s license) don’t need a displacement or performance surcharge – but angular headlights. kirsche@motorradonline.de

Tobias Beyl (30), editor: Yes, maybe an old Streety is enough for one or the other, but for me it has to be the 765. Not because the others are too lame. But the increase in displacement makes exactly that trace more sovereign, which I missed in the 675. A speed triple was never really an alternative. Because the lightness and light-heartedness of the Streety have not reached them to this day. tobi@motorradonline.de
