I’ve been shopping for a Street Triple and have 3 good options to pick from from 3 very different flavors. I’ll add that I have pretty crappy roads, no mountains, and closest track is 5 hours away. So mainly just commuting with the occasional fast curve whenever opportunity presents itself.

1. 2013 Street Triple 675

   ABS.

2. No frills just super clean with 9000 miles, lots of extras like bags and some leathers that’s never seen the pavement (should fit too) It also has an exhaust. $4,200

3. 2018 765 RS. 11,700 mi super clean zero modifications. I think I can get it for 6,000 maybe a little less.

4. 2020 765R 4,700 miles, super clean, has exhaust and a few little extras. I think I can get it for 6,200

I had a budget of 5,000 and I really think I’d be happy on either of these, just wondering if with the way I ride would ever benefit from spending the extra money on one of the 765’s

Also I do have some gear already, so that’s not part of the budget.

Thanks

With a new engine for Moto2 confirmed* for 2027 and the Street Triples 20th anniversary in 2027, combined with the fact that there are no new colorways or 2027 versions of the Street Triple on Triumphs webpage unlike the Speed Triple i.e., it's now a pretty safe bet that we will be seeing a brand new Street Triple in the coming months.

The engine itself is going to be 6% more powerful. Triumph has stated that they have reached the limit of the 765-platform between performance and reliablity. My guess is a 825 cc engine. It's going to be bigger than the old one, and smaller than the new MotoGP 850cc engine. A 6% increase is 805 cc. They are very likely to need some wiggle room. The 675 had a 225 cc cylinder (675/3), the 765 had 255, and a 825 would be 275. Sounds like a nice number. In order to keep piston speeds within a safe range, and make room for bigger valves, needed for the revised top-end, a 80 mm bore with a 54,7 mm stroke. Same ratio as the current 765.

The increase in displacement and revised head is probably going to help with the mid-range it lacks. It's plenty of room to keep the engine stronger in the mid range even with 135-140 bhp. Any more would start to creep close to the Speed Triple.

As for the bike itself, I have no clue. Probably a new TFT, and a pretty anniversary edition I am equally afraid I won't get and will get. Manual suspension, and my guess, a Daytona.

So I went for a long ride and installed a rack to support the luggage. Now I kinda find it cool and suitable to the bike but it sort of removes the stripped out look of it.

What do you guys think?

I got the Tiger used and put some miles on her and just hit 50k miles today!

Has anyone had any luck with a dealer being able to make you a key from your VIN?

I lost my only key to my ‘22 Speed Twin and saw online that dealers should be able to look it up and make you a new one, but the ones I called said they can’t do that.

Trying to avoid having to get a entire new locks 😵‍💫

eBay 1200x tail rack

Vevor 45l top box from Amazon

Got sick of wearing a back-pack so I decided to try a budget luggage option.. What do you guys think?

Hey folks! This'll be my third bike. First being a 2012 F800 GS and my second a 2015 CRF 250 Rally. I was kinda coaxed into getting both of them and learned that I don't much like off roading and my honda spent 99% of it's time in my possession commuting to work in the city. After not riding for the past 5 years it's time for something new!

Not wanting another adventure bike I started looking at Honda Shadows. Something at least with ABS but I wasn't to keen on the looks. Comes and goes. After some more looking and reading my focus shifted to the T120. The styling and size are both good and seems there's a pretty decent After market.

My question to the T120 riders, how is it on the highway and in the rain? That's my biggest concern. My plan would be to get some saddle bags and a windscreen for it and take it south, and out west to the coast. Being in the middle of Alberta I'll be dealing with a lot of cross winds on the highway and once I get out to BC im sure I'll be seeing a fair bit of rain. Not to say i haven't delt with either before and I know a lot of it is just skill but will i be absolutely miserable dealing with either on a long trip?

Not much, just wanted to share a few pics from over the weekend. The tiger just looks so good loaded up
