The 765 R in 2024 is under $10,000 in the US. Great value for money. Your review clearly described the R as the best for road and daily use. Very complete video, as usual , on a great bike!
Being an owner, I'd have to agree on your review. They are great fun bikes, more than enough for the streets, and thrive in the twisties. My only complaint is the traction/wheelie control can at times be a little intrusive under rapid acceleraton. I'd like to see a 6 axis IMU in the future.
Thanks for this video. This is the best mc i have ever tried out. It looks great handles fantastic and that triple is so smooth with a lovely sound. The only reason i dont own one is because of the insane insurance cost. Here in Sweden they see this bike as an hooligan bike. The insurance cost is the same as an 1000cc sport bike. Hey my friends at the insurance companies. Im 56 years old and im not a hooligan. If you ask my children im very very old 😜 Nowadays the insurance company never consider the age as they did before. I will call them when im 100 and say now im really a hooligan and a safety risk 😉
Another great video mark. I've added this to my list. The looks have grown on me recently. Need to choose between this and the GSX8R. Was debating the R7 but dismissed that one. Having a nightmare making mind up. Watched your video on Suzuki and you liked it didn't you?
@@markpulling12did you prefer the Suzuki over the triumph? Obviously different looks engine etc. reading loads of reviews on the triple and with it winning the MCN award seems a top rated bike.
@@jayfrancis1429Hi Jay. I had a test ride on a cosmic yellow RS last October, because as an ageing sportsbike rider, I wanted something a bit kinder on my body. Probably like you, I’d read all the glowing write ups and thought ‘this is the bike for me’. On paper too, it had everything I was looking for…. lower weight, better manoeuvrability, less aggressive riding position. The bike I rode had around 250 miles on, so perhaps it needed a longer period of running in ? I went out on it on completely factory suspension settings, and I do realise that it IS highly adjustable. However, you can’t alter the spring rate, and that in my humble opinion is much too hard for a 75kg rider for road use. It maintains a reasonable level on control on some A roads but B roads had it transmitting some fairly serious jolts straight up my spine. That in itself turned me off the bike, but just to confirm that this ‘wasn’t the bike for me’ the engine vibes are very noticeable above about 6000rpm. There is significant vibration through the tank, seat and foot pegs. BELOW that point it is almost turbine smooth. Perhaps I had a Friday afternoon special and that’s why I suggest you try before you buy. On the other hand, you may also NOT consider my thoughts on the bike relevant to you ?
@@jayfrancis1429 Hi Jay. I wrote quite a lengthy reply to your question but TH-cam has somehow eaten it ! Essentially I believe the suspension is set up with too high a rate spring for me as a 75kg rider for road use only. The ride is bordering on unacceptable. Yes it’s adjustable but the spring rate isn’t… The other thing that put me off were engine vibes above about 6000rpm. You feel them through seat, tank and foot pegs. Below that point it’s almost turbine smooth..
I have a 2018 765R. Triumph did a full colour TFT for the R that year. Can’t understand why they went backwards to LCD and analogue rev counter for 2021. Using up stuff out of the parts bin I guess.

Thoroughly enjoyed this review of a bike I have nil interest in. Nonetheless it's always good to keep up to speed with what is out there.
This looks a great ride, Mark. Great engine, and that's the main reason I buy a bike. The usual thorough review. Nick

G'day, Mark, great review on one of the best bikes in the world, there on a winner with this bike, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.

Great video Mark, nice to the camera looking back at you too.
Great review mark probably the best naked on the market.

Oh yes the Suzuki is very good 👍
Also check out Daytona 660
Cheers mark

@@dannygianni hi Danny yes I preferred the triumph...just found it more comfortable and compliant for the road
Cheers mark
@@markpulling12 did you mean Suzuki ? 😂
@@dannygianni haha no I prefer the triumph;)
Very comfortable seat , did 600 kms in day , no problem , great midrange !!
Sounds incredible, they are so comfortable. I'd like one, decisions decisions 😄.. great review Mark as always x ❤
Thanks Martine they are amazing to ride ..try and get a demo on one x
I’ve got the gen 1 r version 2011 and no plans to sell it. Great bikes!
I have a 2019, cracking bike!
Excellent review Mark ..
"If ridden sensibly" 😂😂😂
Ive got a speed four, looking to upgrade to the street tripple rs model 👌🏽
I’d strongly recommend a test ride before you commit, if you haven’t already done so..
How come may i ask ? Is it not worth it ? Im think of upgrading but I’ve seen mixed reviews.

I want one!!!!!
Cool bike
They call it modern styling , i call it cutting corners , dont like it
I am really confused 🫠
Sometimes you are talking about miles and gallons and inches. The next moment you choose kilometres and litres and feets.
