Because this "sports bike" is lower powered than street bikes already in their lineup

Test rode a restricted 660 today after getting off my CBR600F3, even that felt beautiful in the mid range. Lovely to ride.

Thanks Tony I appreciate that 😊

Thanks Pete 😄 expect more like that in the future 😁

Yes Trevor.... Agreed 👍💯

Yes you can't beat that triple soundtrack 😁

Glad you enjoyed it cheers mark

Hi Tom and greetings to Alabama,:)

Thanks Neil ....yes I was super impressed with this 😀 Cheers mark

My bad they are on now :) Cheers mark

I agree entirely. I tested the very bike Mark is reviewing here and as a previous owner of a Speed Triple R, Street Triple 675 RX and Street Triple 765R, I was expecting good handling. BUT, coming to the first roundabout I had to really haul the bike into the turn. At first I thought it might be a soft front tyre but having now read MCN's latest review, the problem seems to be a high front end. I only did about 5 miles because I was so disappointed by the dull handling, which you better describe as "lazy". By comparison the Suzuki GSX8R is much sharper handling and I think a better bike.

@@TwinPotMan Agreed. And for the record I bought an 8R as it was the better package, for me at least, by far. The 8R's no scalpel but it's handling is surprisingly good & very positive. Night & day compared to this & that's with the distinctly average OE rubber on too.

The same for me, nice bike.

Hi very comfortable for long distance.... comfortable seat and riding position 😁 Cheers mark

@@markpulling12 Thank you Mark. This may be my next bike.

lighter, faster, but more uncomfortable

Remember the tzr well I had a rd350 ypvs :)

Hi yes I owned a cbr600 from 1997 great bike and yes the riding position is very similar... cheers mark

Tough choice Clive I was thinking exactly that ....50/50 tbh but at a push probably the triumph for That glorious engine Cheers mark

Hi yes the Christchurch branch Cheers mark

Hi top end the triumph just wins... torque id say both equal Cheers mark

@@markpulling12 thanks for the reply I am looking for a track bike will the aprillia be the better option

@@p305-mrworldwide9 for the track yes the Aprilia would definitely be better ...the suspension is quite soft on the triumph

Hi no more than usual ....the fairing felt very effective Cheers mark

I doubt that could be made A2. 🤷‍♂️

Also it would of cost around £15k where this one is around £9 with few options.

This one has alot of power...it's quite a bit more powerful than the Trident 🔱

Triumph for me ...it's more compliant for the road Cheers mark

No not really the Trident 🔱 is brilliant...don't think you would gain much ...the 765r street triple would be worth considering Cheers mark

Hi felt perfect for me at normal speeds on the road ... couldn't fault it Maybe some journalists have been pushing it to the limits and found limitations but all good 👍 Cheers mark

Hi the fueling is immaculate especially in rain mode it's very mellow Cheers mark

@@markpulling12 Thank you. My 750 Hornet is snatchy.

Thanks Neil good to hear from you ☺️ Best wishes

Very tough choice 50/50 really but at a push id go for the triumph because of the glorious triple engine Cheers mark

Hi I was in sport mode all the time ....at the beginning I said the mode button changes the modes Tbh it doesn't really do much in reality apart from soften the throttle Best wishes mark

Brilliant 👍😊

Sounds great 👍

I personally prefer naked bikes so definitely the 765 R for me :)

@@markpulling12 👍👍

Hi for the road it's perfect...yes it's a budget ish set up ...compared to ohlins etc but for normal road riding it's just right ...Which is what it's sold as ..a sports bike for everyday Best wishes mark

Thanks

Epic bike ... don't blame you;) 😀
