Conclusion - what's stuck?
The R nineT is not only fun to drive, but also looks great! And it is probably this combination that makes the bike so desirable for motorcycle fans worldwide right from the start.
BMW describes it as follows: "Design your motorcycle, design your life." It also has a lot to do with lifestyle and so the nineT leaves hardly any customizer wishes unfulfilled in terms of diversity. It is the basis for deep individualizations, which sets the machine apart from the competition. In addition to the already diverse model and design variants, there are plenty of Customizing accessories, so everyone can make their own roadster dream come true. Even the on-board electronics are designed with numerous interfaces in such a way that changes do not represent a major hurdle.
Even if the NineT is purist in almost all respects, it does not do so in terms of price. Not at all when you make the most of the numerous possibilities for change to realize your own exclusive dream bike. But individuality always has your price. However, the success proves BMW right again in this case, because the BMW R NineT is so popular that one should expect extremely long delivery times.
Result
Boy, boy, what a board! The new Street Triple 765 R delivers what it promises. Many small updates turn the already very good naked bike into a damn good naked bike. The Streety drives famos and precisely, the engine is addictive and the technical equipment is now almost at the level of the Speed Triple. The price for the R is more than okay and if you like it even more noble, you can go for the RS - you can't go wrong with both bikes.We kindly received the test bike from the Triumph flagship store in Hamburg . If you would like to take a test drive, you are cordially invited there. In addition to the R, Q-Bike also has a demonstrator of the RS on site - so you can compare both bikes directly. Have fun and greetings from us...
