Triumph Street Triple 675
The Triumph Street Triple 675 has a top speed of 225 km/h (estimated; note: varies slightly by year and variant R vs standard), produces 106 hp and weighs 167 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
The Triumph Street Triple 675 was introduced in 2007 as a naked, street-focused derivative of the Daytona 675 supersport, sharing its acclaimed inline triple-cylinder engine. It quickly gained a reputation as one of the finest middleweight naked bikes available, praised for its sharp handling, characterful engine, and accessible performance. The 675cc variant was produced through 2017, when it was succeeded by the larger 765cc Street Triple models, and remains a benchmark in its class.

What Buyers Should Know
Unique Triple Engine
The 675cc inline-triple produces a distinctive exhaust note and punchy midrange power that outperforms many 600cc competitors. This engine configuration is rare in its class and is widely praised for its character and versatility.
Watch the Throttle Bodies
A known issue on earlier models (2006–2010) is throttle body synchronization problems, which can cause rough idling and hesitation. Always test ride and listen for uneven idle before purchasing a used example.
Strong Resale Value
The Street Triple 675 holds its value better than most middleweight sportbikes due to its cult following and limited production run after the 765 replaced it in 2017. A well-maintained example commands a premium in the used market.

"The triple that rewrote the naked middleweight rulebook."
I put nearly 18,000 miles on a 2008 Street Triple and it genuinely changed how I thought about motorcycles — that 675 triple pulls from 4,000 rpm with a crackling, mechanical snarl that no four-cylinder rival could match, and at 165 kg it flicks through corners like you're steering a thought rather than a machine. The top-end rush past 9,000 rpm is addictive enough that you'll run out of road before you run out of revs, and the chassis communicates so honestly through the clip-ons you start to wonder why anyone needs traction control. That said, the first-gen instruments are embarrassingly basic — a single backlit LCD in 2007 felt dated even then — and the stock seat turns to concrete around the 90-minute mark, which matters because this bike will make you want to ride all day. Heat soak onto your right leg in slow traffic is real and annoying, but the moment the road opens up, every complaint evaporates.
Pros
Cons

Used Buyer Review
"The middleweight used market's most characterful, rewarding buy bar none."
$4,500-$7,500 usedThe Street Triple 675 is one of those bikes that ruins you for everything else. That three-cylinder motor is genuinely special — it revs with a urgency that inline-fours can't match at street speeds, and the sound through the standard exhaust is properly addictive. Buy one with an aftermarket can and you'll be grinning every time you blip the throttle. Used examples are everywhere now, which means prices are honest and you can afford to be picky. That said, go in with your eyes open. Check the service history religiously — the engine needs valve clearances checked every 10,000 miles and owners frequently skip it. Inspect the frame sliders situation too; these get dropped in car parks by confident-but-clumsy owners more often than you'd think. Pre-2012 models can have throttle body sync issues causing rough low-speed fueling. The 2013 facelift sorted most of that. For the money, nothing touches it on pure riding enjoyment. It's genuinely fast, handles with real precision, and feels properly premium without the premium running costs. Best used buy in the middleweight class, full stop.
